This thread DESERVES to be necro'd.

And White Nun, you should see his newer stuff.

You know, that game we played together was the first time I'd considered the thought that a mech pilot could have the pilot and gunner abilities, and now I whole-heartily feel like they totally should.

[RoC77]

Yeah, it's pretty scary that you can shoot out a pilot of a mech and take it over. Hmm..... I have 2 targeting computers on the mechs to help with the rocket launcher. Hmm.... would that negate the need for a pilot fig and any regular figs can use it willy nilly? I'm trying to remember the rules for the targeting comp, but I can't seem to find them.

I actually do this with all of my pilots.

[IVhorseman]

Targeting computers function as if you had another minifig built into the machine, who happened to be a gunner and represented by comuter-looking bits on the model somewhere. They can fire independently, or give a pilot +1 skill towards an action on any given turn. You could get rid of a pilot by giving it a piloting computer i guess, which would be able to grant the piloting skill to any fig or something along those lines. I couldn't really imagine it being able to do a whole piloting action on it's own turn. Alternatively, you could just have each computer represented by a supernatural die and then read up on all of those rules.

@ben All of them? Seriously? I would usually reserve an ability like that to someone in an extremely specialized piloting job, like as a mech pilot or a super-starfighter or something. Units with lots of abilities should be reserved for the extra-cool things, to make the slightly-less cool things pale in comparison. If everyone's got that ability, doesn't it kinda cheapen it?

Oh, I didn't realize the thing with the targeting computers. I suppose that might help.

I'd love to slaughter this army. Or die trying.

That would be a good fight! I don't know how many I would lose just trying to take down your STD!
