Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
You tell me, I didn't say anything about ammunition, or waste. Are you telling me you have guns which fire airships? That would give my thresher maw-inator a run for its money, maybe.
I found an old post y'all newbies may be interested in. It's so old it's even green!

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Terror Attack 4 or Our Weapons are Useless!
SpoilerDear Twilight,
We just had one toughie mission to handle. The Snakemen launched a full out attack on the city of Lagos. Worst of all we arrived at night. Now it seems to me that the aliens have devised some new sort of ammo cause nothing was dying when we shot it. Even with the Autocannons and our Tank it would take a good three to five shots to drop a single alien.
Despite that the Snakemen were easy to deal with. Just duck and return fire really. Though we did have a few moments where we couldn't hit the damn things. But yeah no big wig. The real problem were these weird bugs they brought along with. If you see these things, watch out! We saw them bring down a human and turn it into some kinda zombie! And they were insanely hard to kill. In fact Spitfire ran out of ammo and had to switch to her pistol! Not only did they make zombies and be nigh invincible but they were quick too. You should have seen it rush up to our tank, tear it to pieces and rush my squad. Luckily we gunned it down before it could reach.
The last and most horrible thing what happens when you kill one of the zombies. The corpse erupts and out pops a new bug monster! Luckily for us most of the bugs rushed us in the open and were easy, if ammo consuming, to kill. The real problem was when a zombie was hiding in a warehouse. We had to assault it from both sides and take pot shots to kill it. Eventually it rushed Daisy who dropped it in the nick of time. Out popped the bug but it was stunned. We all unloaded into it and even with all of our fire power we barely managed to kill it. Good thing too cause it could have killed a good two or three ponies, and I don't want to know if it can turn us into zombies as well.
I don't know if you've heard but Spike's made sergeant! You should have more faith in him, he's done fine. Rarity is pretty jealous of him actually. Still I hope we get those plasma weapons soon. I'd hate to face those bugs again with what we've got.
Your Friend,
Captain Applejack
Well that was mildly annoying. Honestly wasn't that bad though. If it weren't for that last zombie in the building. Stupid thing wouldn't leave and I couldn't kill it in one turn. Actually nothing seemed to want to die this mission. Ended up using a lot of grenades. But yeah seeing the Chrysalid pop out and eat my tank was pretty scary. Then it survived three autocannon shots to the head and I was practically screaming at my ponies to finish it off with their rifles.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Your problem is using human-projectile weapons, at least upgrade to laser rifles, if not heavy plasma. The laser stuffs does much better against armored opponents. Also, chrysalids are also known as kings of movement, they have stamina and time units in the one-hundred range, if you can see one you are probably in it's range.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I dunno. Play by post games take forever unless you're a jerk. I refuse to play a game that doesn't have a "one post a day, een just to say I'm here keep going, or you lose your turn" rule. I'm in three games, and the one without that rule is still resolving its first round of combat. And it started months ago.
I wouldn't mind a loose amalgam of rules to keep things in line, though, and since pirating Heroscape or or quest or whatever is bad, I'll get DD to post his ideas.

Your gun fires airships, my gun fires destroyer-class spaceship destroying serpents? this may end as a stalemate, honestly.
Although watching that again; it was really less impressive and more "high-render remake of Xel'lotath versus Ulyath".

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Don't forget the orbital battle stations, the multiple cults, the random destruction of Canterlot via underground nukes (my bad), and the incredible spoilered roleplays!~
I don't see why he can't be.
And while I have a wing of airships, probably my pride and joy is the Balmas Blimp, a space-capable heavy dreadnaught capable of mounting six flights of advanced fighter drones. It is armed with six Friendship Cannon turrets, and has enough explosives onboard to turn Zebrica into the next Atlantis.
You need to go read the Pony Psychology Series. It's probably the darkest fic I know that stays close to canon, develops everyone with both flaws and strengths. Top that off with the most epic alternate character interpretation of Ditzy you've ever seen, and you've got a winner. Go read it now. I'll wait.Last edited by Balmas; 2012-09-01 at 01:05 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
And other shades besides, if explosions an murder in your pony is an issue.
I don't see why he can't be.
I suppose I can let him slide as an element since its hat he aspires to rather than represents And also because I couldn't really stop him in the first place.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I suppose I wouldn't mind playing a D&D game set up by ponythread. Which edition though?
Also UFO 36 or Hoity Toity is the Matrix
SpoilerYo Rainbow Dash,
So we got our second mission today. This time in the desert. Some sweet thermals there I couldn't resist ditching my armor for a bit and pulling some stunts. Wish you here to appreciate it, nopony else on my team quite understands the difficulties of doing a triple backspin.
It was a extermely small UFO so it should have been an easy mission. Instead we got these elite green armored aliens who had some pretty heavy firepower. Toasted our tank with one shot! Still we brought them down we sheer numbers. One wandered into the open and my new coltfriend (yeah you read that right) blasted it with his autocannon. It was still standing even after two direct hits so the rest of us opened fire and brought it down with our rifles.
Attacking the UFO itself was a little touchy. Luckily Zecora implemented plan boom. AKA hit them with grenades til they die. That still wasn't enough, but Flim (or was it Flam?) killed one with a lucky shot. Hoity Toity accidently got himself locked in with the alien. Next thing we heard was a blistering wave of firepower being shot. We prepared to charge in when we heard Hoity Toity return fire! There is no way this pony could be any luckier. Sure he was wounded, but only slightly. I've seen these things shoot. In those tight quarters he should have died. Instead he wounded it some more and Zecora finished it off having run out of grenades to throw.
Keep it cool,
Gilda

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I don't know, if it was D&D I would probably set the different pony clans into their own subsystems. They are too modified by their races to act as normal D&D characters IMO.
Unless you limited all of them to mundane classes, and then gestalted it with a racial class...

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Exactly how many airships are in your wing?
I've got a little over 400 at my disposal, the flagships being the Alliance: Harmony. She's a dreadnought, nothing too special about her, but there are a couple of things about it that you may find interesting.
Weaponry: 2 multidirectional Friendship laser cannons. Sugar rockets. Pyrocumulus bombs. 4 forward mounted tesla cannons.
Armor: 6" thick adamanetium full-hull plating.
Crew: 400 of the best soldiers in present history. Commanded by me.
Power Source: All 6 Elements of Harmony.
That's just 1 ship, too.(Un?)official ponythread element of airships.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Ouch... I have a book in my library about fixing poison joke, though I've yet to actually use it. As for your lost ship... would a kamikaze carrier stuffed full of grenukes be enough to destroy your Nightmare Pink?
I prefer playing 3.5.
My custom D&D setup:
Pathfinder base classes plus Completes and Tome of Battle. Other books subject to review.
HD: Basically, if you would normally roll a d6, instead roll a d4 and add two. For d8 HD, roll d4+4. d10s become d4+6, and d12s become d4+8. Be aware that this change is applied to monsters as well.
Cleric: Nightsticks do not stack. If you want DMM, either buff your Cha or get Imp turning.
Races: If you can find it, it's probably fair game. Heck, if you want to play a unicorn, we can work something out.
Someone also threw together some Pathfinder Pony races, though I'm unsure of their balance and have not played with them.I run a Let's Play channel! Check it out!

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I was thinking 3.5 as well, or pathfinder. I play both regularly, Pathfinder is more balanced, but there's less stuff to work with. 3.5 is less balanced, but there's tons more material.
I prefer quantity tho, so 3.5 gets my vote.
Also, those pony races were april fools day jokes, notice how it alludes to cutie mark rules on page 35, but there is no page 35.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
UFO 50, terror 7
SpoilerDear Princess Celestia,
Let me keep this one short and sweet.
The Avenger with double plasma cannon is the BEST THING EVER!!!!!
No, it's better than that.
Ethereal terror attacks are not fun. My whole team had flight armor and plasma or heavy plasma kit. We barely made it out alive. Those big tank bug things took an entire team's worth of fire to bring down. We got them though, even if Derpy and Scootaloo panicked the entire battle. Fortunately, they were a little silly. Derpy panicked so much she dropped her gun, so when they finally mind-controlled her, she couldn't shoot anyone this time.
We got the psionic potential of our soldiers in this month. Lyra is a 100!, Bon-Bon is a 97! Truly, the power of love conquers all. Derpy is an 8. All is explained.
Your faithful dentist,
Colgate
How many scientists do you have? I had 66 on my plasma projects and it still took about a week for each one.
Don't we all, BlasTech, don't well all?
Edit: Nearly forgot the pony-related item (well, other than fighting aliens). This thing lists some interesting song statistics. It contains season 3 spoilers partway down (it tells you when), so don't read carelessly if you don't want to see spoilers.
To nopony's suprise, Pinkie Pie does the most singing. To my surprise, Rarity is number two. I was expecting it to be Twilight Sparkle, but apparently Art of the Dress gives Rarity the most airtime singing after Pinkie.
Also, I bet nopony realized that Flim sings for nearly double the time that Flam does.

Balloon Party isn't a group, as such. It was a project to get hard-core tracks from the brony community and help raise money to get brony musicians to Bronycon. You can download the albums 100% No Feeble Cheering and After Party for a small fee ($1 each). Well worth it, IMO.

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
Cool. I haven't even seen Etherals yet but you're moving at a much faster pace then I am. Actually my goal is to beat the game in the next two months game time. (Which would put me at beating the game before August ends )
I've only got about 100 scientists total and they're split among projects evenly of about 20 apiece.
On that note
Terror Attack 4
SpoilerDear Twilight Sparkle,
Today was a fabulous day! The new plasma weapons are simply darling. The Snakemen attacked a city in South Africa and we repelled them with only two humans dying in the crossfire! The new weapons made all the difference. The Snakemen couldn't stand up to even a single shot and the new guns are so easy to aim that we barely missed at all! Applejack killed two without even leaving the ship!
The only trouble was those bugs. Two rushed our tank almost as soon as it left the ship and ripped it apart! But Applejack went out and blew one apart with her gun. I took out the other and gagged at the smell. Burning bug does not smell good no matter what Applejack says.
The humans were a little upset about the collateral damage though. Spike vaporized three or four lamp posts in a shoot out against a trio of aliens. Applejack and I took flanked them and took two out while Spike finished the third. The other major source of collateral damage was Rose blowing up most of a gas station. One alien was hiding in there and Rose couldn't seem to get the shot. Naturally every miss blew up another one of those filler up thingys.
Finally one of the humans accused us of killing a human! I've never been so insulted in my life! How would they even know since we're both using the same guns! Ugh, I swear they have no appreciation over here in Europe! I hope they're treating the Princesses with the respect they deserve at least.
Sincerely,
Rarity Unicorn
Seriously I have no idea when I would have killed a civilian. I guess an unlucky stray shot but I didn't even hear a yell. Oh I have started my psionic training so that'll kick in next month. Also I am insanely rich. I've got 8 million dollars and nothing to spend it on.
As for the pony songs I'm not surprised. Rarity has had the most solos besides Pinkie. Rainbow Dash hasn't even had a song to herself at all!Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony LII: 525.600 Ponies!
I've got a question that may be rude.
Why does this matter?
You think of airship battles, the first thing that comes to mind is usually two ships, with the crews swashbuckling between the two of them. That's neat!
But throwing ships at each other gets pretty cumbersome, and loses out on a lot; what is an interesting story on the personal level because a missed footnote at the scale of 400 ships. Suddenly the actual story stuff involving the crew doesn't matter, it's just about the ships. Which, you know, fine and all, but when you are dealing with a couple ponies, and you rely entirely on a fleet, that is ironically setting yoursel up to lose.
See, there won't be any fleet level engagements. Instead, the only engagements thr show up will be at the personnel level, and while you've got "the best soldiers in history" the other side I likely to be a rag-tag band of heroes, which trump soldiers.
I don't get why do many folks jump Straight to the top, where actual gaming can't happen. The difference between a fleet and an army is when one "target" goes down, I just took out a whole crew instead of a person.
And this may seem like a lecture, but it really is a question! I just wanted to explain my stance so you know what you're answering.
the flagships being the Alliance: Harmony. She's a dreadnought, nothing too special about her, but there are a couple of things about it that you may find interesting.
Weaponry: 2 multidirectional Friendship laser cannons. Sugar rockets. Pyrocumulus bombs. 4 forward mounted tesla cannons.

Power Source: All 6 Elements of Harmony.
That's just 1 ship, too.
Eh, I think it's either having tea peacefully, or stopped existing as anything other than a nightmare. Plus I have doubts about sending friendship-removing ordinance into a plane of existence defined by beig the source of all ponykind's fears and terrors.
heck, no idea why we went there in the first place! I had hoped 'nightmare vortices' would be sufficient to frighten my pursuers. Instead, they rammed me Into them

Anyway; look! A way to make a unicorn... That gives you the same results as saying "you're small, you get TK within 30', +4 Dex, +2 con, no hands, speed 40'." pegasi would have flight instead of TK, and earth ponies are screwed completely by the linear fighter quadratic everything else in existence thingy. Sorry AJ, D&D says you suck.
Yeah. Someone I met filled that in, but I don't remember what with.
Well, 'Airship', 'vessel which resembles a nautical ship in aesthetic but can sail space and withstand tremendous dimensional force', it's all the same really.
