pilot hot takes, low heat only reactor_safe_mode 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:52:10 No.68 [Reply]

Hot takes that do not require a full rules citation. Keep it short. If your post needs three license diagrams, take it to mechgeneral.

blackbeard_apologist 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:54:10 No.69

Grappling is just diplomacy where everybody admits the meeting is going badly.

manticore_no_caps 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:56:10 No.70

CASTIGATE is a lifestyle brand and the lifestyle is "brief."

nelson_lane_splitter 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:58:10 No.71

If your melee frame cannot make the map feel too small, it is a walking apology.

slow board mechgeneral / frameposting quarantine thread_needed_ok 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:38:10 No.61 [Reply]

Why its own thread? Because every general turns into frameposting anyway and the board is slow enough that nobody gets to pretend this is a problem.

Post builds, colony hooks, bad callsigns, and arguments you lost in COMP/CON at 0300.

1 post omitted. Click reply to view.

pdf_goblin 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:42:30 No.63

OP forgot the traditional link hoard, so here: core book, errata, house rules nobody asked for, and a zip named FINAL_final_REAL.

build_critic_9000 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:44:40 No.64

That build is fine if your tactical goal is "prove the GM tracks structure damage."

grass_touch_protocol 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:46:50 No.65

Every mech thread has three stages: sincere advice, manufacturer nationalism, and someone reinventing combined arms like it is forbidden knowledge.

narrative_reserve_truther 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:48:10 No.66

Best reserve is still "a guy owes you a favor". Worst reserve is also that, but with eye contact.

drone_parenting_forum 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:49:30 No.67

Do drones count as pets? Asking because mine learned my sleep schedule and now blocks the cockpit hatch when I make bad choices.

RA did nothing wrong discourse containment metavault_dropout 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:28:50 No.57 [Reply]

This thread is for people who say "RA did nothing wrong" and people who reply "define nothing" and people who think this argument will end before the heat death of Union.

n_hp_linguistics 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:31:00 No.58

Every NHP debate becomes theology if you forget to bring snacks.

paracausal_lawyer 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:33:10 No.59

For legal reasons my opinion on RA is a weather condition.

thread_locked_in_4_cycles 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:35:20 No.60

Mod note: if your argument requires a diagram with more than three arrows, summarize or go outside.

newer lab gossip: containment briefing written in pencil elevator_smalltalk 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:17:10 No.53 [Reply]

Latest rumor stack points toward research-site nonsense and "friendly faces" that should maybe not be faces. I am not saying memetic influence, but my coffee asked for admin rights.

> arrive at lab
> elevator has better social skills than staff
> garden knows code

garden_patch_notes 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:19:30 No.54

If the garden ships a hotfix, do not install it. Plants should not have release notes.

The clean uniforms are always the scariest part of a dirty lab.

waifu_blob_trauma 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:24:10 No.56

Do not ask why the blob is called that. Do not improve the name. Do not give it a better one.

build advice thread where every reply is bait compcon_autofill 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:59:10 No.48 [Reply]

Post frame, license level, and what you actually want to do. If you say "generalist" we are legally allowed to recommend three mutually incompatible systems and call it fundamentals.

napoleon_complex 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:01:30 No.49

Take one level in everything. Become a beautiful spreadsheet accident.

tokugawa_warning_label 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:03:30 No.50

OP asked for safe heat management and every HA poster heard "how do I turn my cockpit into a lesson."

swallowtail_camper 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:05:40 No.51

Correct answer is always sensors until the enemy notices you, then the correct answer was never posting.

license_math_haver 05/30/26 (Sat) 02:06:40 No.52

Build advice rule: if the combo needs a flowchart, the enemy gets a vote before box three.

current corkboard: which Willie, which Thorn, which bar missingperson_cache 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:47:10 No.44 [Reply]

The newest job has the rumor boards doing the usual thing: one missing person, too many Thornes, three contradictory bar sightings, and a support contact who leaves voicemails like a knife in a paper bag.

> ask where Willie is
> bartender asks "which one"
> relative has a familiar last name
> somebody mentions a hex hole
> decide coffee was a mistake

downtown_listener 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:49:20 No.45

Downtown rumor density is too high. If three witnesses agree perfectly, at least two are lying and the third is an adbot.

File: recovery-lead-original.png(791.45 KB, 933x1400, recovery-lead-original.png)

There is also a recovery lead with "Mercer" written on it. If this turns into a pun, I am spacing myself.

small_mammal_support 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:54:10 No.47

If your handler says "quick look around" and sends a full route packet, that is not a quick look. That is an ambush with nicer fonts.

Long Rim docking fee copythread berth_tax_sufferer 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:39:10 No.39 [Reply]

I am once again asking station admin to explain how a docking clamp can have a convenience fee, a heritage surcharge, and a small emotional damages line item.

> arrive at rim port
> clamp fee
> unclamp fee
> clamp inspection fee
> pay extra to not be inspected
> inspector still asks if your mech is single

fuel_scrip_casualty 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:41:30 No.40

The fuel depot sells coffee in the same scrip as reactor coolant. This explains the coffee and not the coolant.

unionize_the_clamps 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:43:40 No.41

Docking clamp 7 has a better pension than me. Good for her. Hate her.

no_live_coords_mod 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:45:40 No.42

Reminder: post receipts, not coordinates. We are a board, not a targeting computer.

baronic_etiquette 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:46:20 No.43

If a noble asks whether your chassis has a pedigree, say yes and immediately invoice them for hearing it.

why does every bad hallway have a poetic name bulkhead_prophet 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:28:50 No.35 [Reply]

Not posting facility maps. Just saying: when a maintenance door has a plaque that sounds like a philosophy minor drowned in coolant, turn around.

If the floor speaks, listen. If the ceiling answers, leave.

Every time someone says "probably just a scout" a medic somewhere starts pre-filling forms.

SSC labels everything in the fridge. IPS-N eats the labels. HA reports both of you to building management. HORUS was never on the lease but has strong opinions about the sink.

ssc_silk_crimes 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:23:40 No.31

SSC roommate has a robe for checking the mail and a second, smaller robe for opening bills.

ipsn_bootprint 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:25:50 No.32

IPS-N roommate fixes the air recycler by hitting it with a wrench and now it makes soup. Rent unchanged.

ha_deposit_forfeit 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:27:50 No.33

HA roommate installed a doctrine-compliant shower head. It has a firing arc.

caliban_small_claims 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:28:30 No.34

IPS-N roommate keeps calling the Caliban "apartment sized" and this is how I know they have never had an apartment.

agri-world review thread: crops, moon weirdos, bad client crop_yield_occult 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:10:30 No.26 [Reply]

OCT-32 retrospective. No full after-action dump, just the moral: if a client says "please kill the monster eating my farm" and the monster has a fan club, background-check the client twice.

> land on farm world
> bioform problem
> cult problem
> client problem
> the client problem has teeth
> invoice says "scope expanded"

moon_cult_accountant 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:13:00 No.27

"Operations disrupted" is polite corpspeak for "the ritual budget is now a smoking hole." Good phrase. Efficient.

combine_harvester_exorcist 05/30/26 (Sat) 01:15:20 No.28

The worst part of beastly agriculture is not the beast. It is the paperwork after the beast.
