In answer to the end blurb: You don't need to raise the Jolly Roger if it's a satellite. It's in space, it's already been raised. It's permanently raised. It cannot and will not be taken down.

So this is the “Fuck you Horus” mech? Excellent.

I just slowed down and frame-by-framed the Shiver Timbers part, and saw that the laser is actually gremlin Ame amazing

The “That won’t betray you ever- MOST OF THE TIME” part had me in tears.

[@scobythebloodless2310]

Same

[@superequinox4185]

I think this mech was given a pirate theme because of all the crimes and illegal stuff you can do with it. Also the hearty crew of robots.

[@wormwoodbecomedelphinus4131]

I could do that with a Sunzi.

[@mondaydestroy4285]

does the Kidd just make you unhackable because it simulated DRUNKEDNESS ??

[@Motleydoll123]

Pebcac is an it slang acronym for problem exists between computer and chair, which the predominant solution normally is turning it off and on again. It make the mech unhackable because the system cannot be hacked if it is inactive and doing a hard reboot. Of course, applying this solution in the middle of battle can have some…awkward side effects, like causing some controlls to stick, joints suddenly locking up at an inopertune time(causing a fall), random system vent, the system restarting slowly and preventing system use, randomly lashing out, or it could all go perfectly and it be fine.

​@@Motleydoll123 In this case: Problem Exists Between Chair And Chassis

[@Asmodeus696]

Effectively yes, as all of the potential results are things one could see a drunk person doing. Your chassis is so utterly plastered that it doesn’t even understand commands it’s receiving from enemy hackers.

Anyone else confused when the thumbnail showed Emperor, and the name of the episode mentioned Kidd?

i am guessing it's because of april fools?

Oh, you too?

[@VGM00021]

We've been tricked, had, and quite possibly bamboozled.

[@mourge40k]

I would like to say one simple thing that magnifies the excellence of FABI: The Apocalypse Rail is a valid target for it. Aside from that, jazzed to finally see my favorite mech be officially released! People are gonna have a blast with this one.

[@AzureIV]

The kazoo cover was brilliant.

[@iamlazycatxP]

My headcanon is that armor pack is literally that kontact-1 meme, but with subalterns slapping some spicy bricks all over the mech that picked it up

[@Thyrork]

As a GM, I cannot wait to see this thing snap an encounter in half. :D

[@Oscar-j6b]

Granny on the Kidd is living the dream.

[@MetalGearUltima]

I personally can't wait for the new GMS mech, as an Everest main, I'm happy to have a new option to toy with on character creation. The variant mechs are super cool too. Kidd itself is just a neat idea, and I like the mental image that when you print this thing, like a second later an orbital laser is printed that you now have to either pick up after every mission or just leave it and print another. So you know some lancer asshat out there is just leaving a trail of destruction and Jolly Roger lasers

[@richmcgee434]

Thoughts: The base chassis stats on the KIdd are really pretty fragile against anything that reliably cracks Armor 2 or deals heat and/or burn damage without having to attack e-def to do it. Going to be hard to decide where to stick your skills here. Hull and Engineering to cover those weak spots, or Systems for better tech attack ability and even more SP? Is Agility worth it at all when you already have good Speed and an Evasion that will struggle to get to "average" no matter what? PEBCAC is a unique (outside of homebrews) example of a Tier-1 license system that provides real tech defense for your allies. Previous options (eg Black Witch, Hydra) have required two-three LLs dedicated to the frame to do that. While the system's got some serious downsides (uses your actions, has erratic side effects) if your team is full of frames that regularly fall for Nigerian oil ministry scams it's easier to splash into than other options. I expect to see this one a lot on other frames, although Kidd still likes it best since it bumps the JR die for them. Still can't decide if the final version of FABI is better or worse than the earlier one (with AP, overkill, +1d6 damage and drawbacks) but it certainly is different and easier to use. Bumps your JR die too, so one step closer to firing the Orbital Death Ray. Omnibus Plate will sometimes be easier to destroy than whatever drone/deployable you park on it, so a GM who's struggling to deal with the large Burst and resistance it grants should consider whacking the plate first.

[@magmanaught4532]

Aka the support mech with a fucking satellite laser

[@ernestosalinas1091]

That thumbnail counts as clickbait!!! Anyway I'm happy with the video

[@technical_difficulties_]

So basically, this is a support mech with Ion's Laser Core.

[@erike5865]

I shouldn't find the TTS saying it "Peb-cock" as funny as I do.

[@AzureIV]

All of those deployables sound amazing. It will probably be a pain to figure out exactly what of all of those things your generous, but still limited, system points can slot.

[@samparsons9550]

Lovin' it, loving the admittedly unlikely piracy. :D PEBCAC or death.

[@Kirby950]

My friend shows this and mentions how the armor pack goes over the cap, on top of my 4 armor world killer genghis be potentially a 10 armor genghis. Dm: oh no

[@AzureIV]

Thankfully there are AP weapons.

[@Kirby950]

@@AzureIV but that’s means your in plasma thrower distance

[@richmcgee434]

Armor pack could have a *lot* more than just six uses with the right build and talents, so real cap (assuming the packs are intended to stack with themselves) is closer to armor 11 or 12. Good luck using it six+ times in one fight though. If nothing else whatever's carrying the subalterns is going to be a good thing to kill, and just shooting the project to death before its finished is an option. Also, Shredded condition will make you very very sad.

[@truemisto]

despite the rules demanding that you let the jolly roger do its job, there nonetheless seem to be many contexts and environments where it is peculiar for it to be doing its job. i wonder why they ditched having fighting subalterns for something so much less self-contained

[@11dragonkid11]

You mean FORGE 2? Because the original version is so much more complicated that there's too many things to account for.

[@Paradockzz]

The whole setting is "peculiar" big dog there's paradox time robots and eldritch math demons being funneled into our reality to cosplay as computers. You're worried about the realism of a satellite?

[@Mikehy.mp3]

Question about your running mech series that you've probably already answered: What do you use to make your maps? I'm coming from the D&D scene so I'm used to using programs like Inkarnate, anything like that for LANCER? Love the content btw, got me into the game and I'm finally running my first homebrew game over the summer with some buddies over discord, you've been an amazing resource!

The kazoo got me good

[@richmcgee434]

4:52 Uhm...is there a typo on the core power there, or is that a mis-speak? The text reads "increase Plunder and Scan to burst 2" rather than "Plunder and Swindle" Honestly not sure if the Scan is right or not - it would still be a useful improvement that wouldn't require you to reset the Jolly Roger die, and in fact would make it easier to increase it by clipping an ally with the burst while scanning nearby enemies as well. And Swindle is probably too strong as a Burst 2 effect, but how often would you really want to reset a 5+ JR die rather than use a Line 10 laser cannon of Doom? But are we sure one way or the other?

Why would the Damping Station need Omnibus to effect size 2 mechs? the effect doesn't require mechs to be fully within the Burst 1 area, right?

Nope, they do, the description said allies has to be within it
