Character Shenanigans!

[voidtreckermods]

Sometimes things happen that may have consequences further down the line. Sometimes characters decide to do things that might have immidiate reprecussion. As mods we want to have our fingers on the pulse of the game as it were, but we are also aware that we won't be able to read every single thing!

So that's where this post comes in. If your character has done something 'noticable' that you think we might need to know about, throw us a link here. Some might require a response, some will just be noted.

Example: "Over *here* my character is trying to smash the windows of the engine!"

Sometimes you might have an idea in mind that you believe will have consequences and be in the midst of writing the thread, however you want to know what those consequences will be for threads going forward. Or you might still be in the planning stages and would like to know how things might pan out. That's also what this post is for!

Example: "At the end of this event my character is planning to not rejoin the train and instead ride off into the sunset! What happens?"

Ask away!

Yep that sounds good to me!

Thank you!

Also, Entrapta gave Devero a healing laser rifle modified with a manadrive (presumably a Mk 2 Infiltrator) that she'd been building him before the mission/she was dropped. Is there anything you want I should keep in mind regarding how it works when Dev's using it?

ETA, can I say that the holo-projecting drones are finished enough for mission use? Realized I should probably check in before I chucked them up on the mission supplies post.

Nothing to note about the laser rifle I don't think.

Also yes that's fine on the drones!

Great, thank you!

Here's a description of the drones for reference

[subcircuits]

Devero is donating on behalf of the team that made them (himself, Entrapta, and Kaiba) 4 hardlight holo-projecting drones and their control rigs. Utilizing tech pilfered from the biosphere around Crysohale VI, the idea is that you pilot the drone into a dangerous or difficult to reach place and use it to project a hardlight hologram body ala a Helpmate. Using the VR control rig, you can then use that hardlight body to interact with the things around it. Manipulate a control or reconnect some broken components? No problem. Move around pieces of a puzzle? Easy. Unlock a door or clear a blocked entrance? Sure thing.

Only the hologram is able to manipulate objects. The drone 'core' of the holo is basically a flying hockey puck equipped with cameras and the projection technology. You can have the holo pick up an item and carry it over to where you are, but you could not load it on the drone and fly it out, for example.

The VR rig is made up of a wearable headset and hand pieces, not unlike extant VR video game tech. The drone's pilot does need to wear all three to be able to operate it.

The drones have a learning curve for anyone who is not strongly tech inclined, so it is highly recommended that you practice with them between missions. It was deliberately designed to be easy to use by anyone, not just sci-fi characters, but being able to operate it the holo body with fine control takes some practice. Devero is more than willing to teach anyone who's interested, and has a fifth, more advanced version of his own for personal use.
