[Apollo][MSG0079][Lancer] this has definitely been done before, but i tried writing up the RX-78 Gundam in Lancer

notes: pilot is the smart computer brought up early on, since amuro would have 12/6 agility or some bullshit

ll is deliberately juiced since the gundam was advanced. not as dodgy as i'd like, but that's in-flavor.
pixie lovemail
since limited ammo on guns isn't something lancer does well, high heat is the equivalent of "oh no the beam rifle is out of ammo"
Wolfgirl Winter
the absolute wildest shit to me is knowing that neither miguel nor tom watched any mecha anime before writing Lancer
pixie lovemail
fucking hell, really? recreated from first principles and vibes?
Wolfgirl Winter
they just. managed to extrapolate the whole vibe through their interest in similar media
Wolfgirl Winter
yeah i mean obvs they're big space opera nerds

engineer prototype weapon is used for misc. weapons, like vulcans, hyper hammer, javelin, etc.
Wolfgirl Winter
and mecha has this whole legacy of classic sci-fi behind it
pixie lovemail
gameplan is simple. juice up on heat, get in there, deal damage and be a threat from any range. laugh because there is no such thing as electronic warfare in the oyw so nobody can make you hit stress
pixie lovemail
the nelson and drake licenses are there to hit that ips-n bonus to make the gundam extra tanky, but the argonaut shield and thermal charges would be useful. didn't make it in because of SP constraints.
pixie lovemail
(those two points in systems are there to grab the projected shield, since you can't have rx-78 w/o the shield)
pixie lovemail
tortuga was best frame for general stats/hyperdense armor, but the cp is good for amuro newtype bullshit. think of it like that magnet coating that rx-78 gets at the end

連続犬 Gabiluzbad might be interested in this.
pixie lovemail
have shit to do though, won't return to plurk for a bit

i think my favorite part of people recreating the RX-78-2 is that everyone looks at it a different way
連続犬
which is to say i would have never considered this layout for the OG gundam, it makes perfect sense, but it's NEVER what i would have considered
pixie lovemail
nods. i took an aggressively straightforward approach, focused on its capacity as an incredibly destructive and incredibly durable machine, but i can see a lot of ways to do it. curious what you would've done.
連続犬
I haven't seriously entertained the idea in full but at the bear minimum Engineer for Prototype Weapon makes perfect sense for the Gundams' various one-shot tricks
連続犬
beyond that it would probably be some weird Forever-Everest setup, because I think the Everest's speed actually is what you would wwant if you want to focus on how nimble the RX-78-2 is compared to its OYW contemporaries?
Gabiluzbad
Gundam is definitely some mix of IPS-N and HA
連続犬
I feel like you could make a strong case for an Amuro Ray piloted gundam to have some SSC tech, just enough to get All-Theater Movement Suite and Ace 3
Gabiluzbad
Amuro himself would do great in an SSC machine. Something built to keep up with his insane reaction speeds
Gabiluzbad
The the RX-78 specifically has the strong points of “biggest guns” and “fucking invincible”
連続犬
that's definitely true
連続犬
the Nu is closer to an SSC machine
Gabiluzbad
Yeah for sure
