Near the outskirts of the battlefield, Roslyn was less a participant and more of an observer. There were some occasional enemies, but nothing that she couldn't handle. However, most of the time, she just watched the battle. The sudden flickering of lights, like a star being born then suddenly extinguished, was almost beautiful, if not for the fact that it meant the loss of another life. But these brief flickers, as bright as they can be compared to the darkness of space, are but mere background noises.
Two extraordinary life, flaring strongly in her mind, was constantly distracting her throughout the battle, emitting a strange mixture of vengeance, pride, anger and sadness. For whatever reason, these two pilots are out there, fighting each other and ignoring everything else as if they are the main characters of the story and everyone else was an extra. And judging from their presence, they probably are.
Roslyn could never understood why Gwen paid so much attention to Newtypes. She, herself, thought Newtypes are an exception to the rules of life. She didn't detest to being a Newtype, but she never thought she belonged. But here she is, sensing the dramatic scene unfold before her, these two people trying to live their lives to the they can, while trying to end the other's. It was heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time. There were the presence of others, not as strong as those two, but they were also trying to live, to survive.
In this moment, Roslyn almost felt as if her kind is what humanity needs the most. A way to communicate with another, to understand each other without a word spoken. In that briefest of moment, Roslyn appreciated what Gwen has been trying to do for her for the past year. Of course, she will never tell her that, nor the fact that there are actually this many Newtypes in the world. She would charge the Zinnia deep into the battlefield if she knew that.
Still, it is nice to know that she isn't as different as she once thought to be. Even though some were her enemy, she had secretly hoped they would survived to the end, but the desire of one person is meaningless in these times, as a few of them disappeared from her mind. All she can do is to remember their presence, as small and weak as it is compared to everything else, and give them the recognition that they deserve.
Then, she felt the presence of another, more familiar person, in front of her. She looked ahead and saw a Zaku approaching her and gave off flashes of light. As hard as it is, Roslyn pushed aside everything else and smile to no one but herself. She played with her controls and replied with a series of flashes. "Yeah, we are done here. Let's go home."

One thing I'd like to see for Zeon is officers given the ability to mod their machines a bit. By "a bit" I mean like how Garma's Zaku had head vulcans or M'Quve's Gouf looked slightly different, once the officer in question has reached a certain rank.
Also, why remove L0 pilots, if you don't mind me asking?

I am more concerned with insurgent Zeeks pulling some kind of colony drop operation then a rogue. I'm more concerned with a nuke then anything else. BM confuses me sometimes... Sometimes I have trouble keeping track of everything I posted. So fuck you asswipe  |

EDIT: As I said I'm not concerned. i dont think we will have anything to really do or to be concerned with. Should be a quiet ending.

It would take more than 4 days to move a colony from Side 4 to Earth Orbit. As I understood it, the game is over after the next week regardless.
So, you can pretty much rule out colony drop at this point.

uh huh........ Explain to me again what happens in 0083?
All I'm saying is we need to be ready in case any kind of "Last hurrah" Kind of crap tries to get off the ground. I dont think we will have any kind of issues to worry about, but their is no reason why we shouldn't be prepared for the worst.

The Chatroom #piratetalk has also been taken. I do not know how. Cid should register a name so it can be his.

Items added, EF
Rangers (S) - 25 RP, Limit 1
Same CP as Marines, 6 man squad size. Armament more based on sniping and demolitions than frontline combat. Concept is that Marines are better at straight boarding actions and infantry battles, while Rangers are better at anything sneaky.

Infantry transport tank, can be paired with an infantry squad to increase their mobility.
3x Public - 600 RP
Publics, must be bought in groups of 3. Counts as 1 ship for the game rules. When Publics are destroyed they are automatically reorganized, so if you have 2 3x Publics and 2 in 1 squad are destroyed, it automatically becomes 2 2x instead of 1 3x and 1 1x. This prevents some potential shenanigans.

More expensive for less hangar cost than a Columbus, but more mobile, possibly useful for boarding actions.

Just a list for my own reference, but you guys can look too:
Items removed:
Generic -
Balloon service
lvl0 pilots
EF -
Public
Zeon -
Jicco
Panzergrenadiers
Rogue -
Heavy Truck
Space Shuttle
Items added, generic
Locations:
Hidden - 500 RP
Hidden bases locations are listed on the map page like normal bases, and the owning power can move to them as normal. However, in order for other powers to move to or attack a hidden base, they must first scout the base. The first successful scouting attempt will not give a scouting report, it will simply unhide the base. In order to obtain a scouting report, the base must then be scouted a second time.
Jaburo, Kimberlite, SS Test Site (Lhasa), SEA HQ, AXIS, Flanagan Agency (on Baldur Bey) and Side 6 MS Site (on Libot) will be hidden NPC bases.
Border - 100 RP
Border bases reside between two locations on the map. For example, Constantinople is on the Europe-Central Asia border. You can move to Constantinople from either area, and move from Constantinople to either area. Border bases can only be placed on Earth, Mars, or between Sides 1/4 or 2/6.
Border bases cannot control or contest territory, but effect patrol #'s of both locations. The base itself counts as territory as if it was in the worse of the two if a Fortification, or the best of the two if a Fortress.
For example, North America is Zeon, South America is EF. A Panama Canal base is a Zeon base on the border. It increases the NA patrols by 1 and decreases the SA patrols by 1, but cannot contest South America. If it is a Fortification you count as Contested Territory while on the base, if it is a Fortress you count as Friendly Territory while on the base.
Constantinople (Europe-Central Asia) and Gibraltar (Europe-North Africa) will be border NPC bases.
Vehicles
Subflight - 10
Used to ferry MS teams in space. Each Subflight can support itself plus 3 other units.
Ships
Balloon ships - 1/10th the cost of normal ships
Can only be purchased in space, and are purchased like a normal ship. Balloon ships look like real ships on the ships page, but are automatically destroyed if attacked by anything. They can list units on them for free, and can even list PCs as being on them or anything like that.
Balloon ships can only be issued actions the day they are purchased. These actions cannot be changed. They can only be given move or attack actions.
Services
Minovsky Particle Field service - 100 RP
Uses an M-Bomb to create a lasting Minovsky Particle Field for 1 battle, as if a capital ship was present. Purchasing this twice creates a thicker field.
Balloon service - 100 RP
Can be used in two ways. Can create debris of some sort for a battle, OR can be used to increase chance of successfully bypassing patrols by +1 for one update. Cannot be purchased on Earth, Mars or in orbit. Can be purchased twice for a +2 chance at evading patrols.
Hangar service - 100 RP
The battle is fought coincidentally close to an allied town that services your units. The purchasing side gains 1 Dedicated Hangar for the battle. More important for multi-turn events.
Pilots:
Pilot Transfer - 50 RP
Allows you to transfer a pilot from 1 MS to another MS.

Yeah, if the double agent is overpowered at price equivalency to a Pegasus class ship, then the hacker contact, which is available in all three shops and that nobody has ever purchased ever in any version of the RPG, is also overpowered.
I would modify the price list to be more like
1st place = 2500 equivalent
2nd place = 1500 equivalent
3rd place = 1000 equivalent
4th place = 500 equivalent
Please note that if the 3 Pegasus class prize ships were in the shop, they would all cost less than the Gray Phantom. The Gray Phantom is the best Pegasus variant.
Also please note that not every prize in a given list would be worth that much. They're prizes, not cash equivalency things, they're supposed to look better or worse to different people.
