Infinite Stratos - Technology Discussion (IS Cores, Frames, Weapons, etc)

[lovetospoon73]

ya know, how teenage boys usually have a lot of dirty thoughts, well i figure if in the IS universe there's a pill that will make any teenage boy not have have dirty thoughts (without making them gay)
for 24 hrs, so that ichika can be a way better IS pilot, & also avoid getting beat up by his harem, for having dirty thoughts

[lovetospoon73]

reat idea: what if Byakushiki had a crotch shield, just for ichika, since he's a dude?

[Router25]

Off topic: since there is little info concerning the Blue Tears Interceptor Blade, can I assume that it is only the same bit (shown in the AGP Strike Gunner) only held in hand to act as a sword?

[S-34]

Still, I don't remember anyone answering how grappling works with shielding. I mean, Armored Cores can't grab each other since they have shields. Unless these are like Halo shields, which mend to the shape of the armor.

What are the possible weaknesses for each of their IS?

[BlackShadowV6]

I've always been trapped thinking about how the wings can stay in close range to the pilot (During All combat) and What makes the hover so easily..

So far i know that there is 2 components to realistic IS flight..

1. Leg Thrusters-
In the Light novel and the Anime Cecelia's blue tears has been seen emitting A Flame/Thruster exaust from the bottom of the feet.

2. Wings-
Possible connection to the unit might be Magnetic, or a rod that's not visible?

This just stumps me...



3. How they work together-
I believe that the Leg thrusters are for Main Thrust Like increasing and decreasing speed and the Wing assist in Guiding the Unit to the Preferred destination..



Another subject is Hand control...

The best look inside an arm is in the Left arm of the Byakuski Setsura Where it looks like a Joystick with buttons all over it is involved....

But, That can't be right??? Its part Partial Cannon part Handish (Theres a set of fingers near the barrel of it)

The only weakness I've seen is Weapon load out and ranged combat of all types

Like Using Melee against a sniper type IS would be preferred.


But, the most efficient was the Silver Gospel... It did efficiently take on the whole Cast (And most likely would of beat them if it wasn't for Byakuski going into second shift and Houki's Shield energy regen ability....)


But if i had to..

IS pilots Worst Nightmare/ Ultimate Match

Ichika - A fast medium range Unit with a rapid fire weapon and a melee weapon
Reason- Ability to get out of a Melee situation and Avoid the Partial cannon while laying multiple hits. As well as avoiding the Barrier Null attack with it's speed..

Houki - 1 word Experience (Lots Of It)

Having an overpowered IS is a real problem....
Therefore, the best way to beat her is with more combat experience because there will be multiple times she will slip up and u will have an opening to strike..
and avoid the endless wave of attacks.

Rein(LingYin) - Same as Ichikas..

But a good strategy is going and camping underneath her therefore the cannon couldn't be of use (Without pointed down at her in the way..)

Cecilia - Close to same weapon load-out of Ichikas IS but with increase speed and maybe a on board Emp? (For the Bits) and if not then an inense amount of speed and maneuverability.

Charlotte - Same as Houkis but with a pair of bits (4) or more to over whelm her and dodge attacks.

Laura - Same as Ichikas but with an energy weapon ( For the Rope/Spear/Tentical thingys...) srry i don't know what to call the..


Or for all IS units a Tesla shield and Tesla gun...

They did say electric ( Tesla ) weapons were forbidden......

Would most likely Short circuit any Unit...

New info for me, didn't aware that electric weapons are forbidden in IS.

Cecilia's is quite easy to target weakness due to her long-ranger preference. All-rounders like Laura is a bit difficult to target hers.

what about teleporation weapons? or having an ability to healing yourself after every attack?

Is there any IS that are capable of doing teleportation?

Healing ability that is similar to Akatsubaki's Kenran Butou. That's not a weakness, although would like to see how to counter it.

[Router25]

If there was Quantum transportation, I'm sure only Tabane knows it.

what about white knight's core, that & byakushiki we do not have much info on that

[kaizers]

Indeed not much info about White Knight, Byakushiki and Akatsubaki. Heck, even the other personal IS too. Believe all of them may have hidden features that are waiting to be unlocked depending on certain circumstances.

What could teleportation/quantum transportation do by the way?

teleportation could be 1 of the hidden features

Fair enough.

About electric weapons, does it ever mentioned that the weapon is banned? Can't remember in the anime.

Yes, they were banned due to the fact that they ignore shielding, which sucks. I love stun weapons. However, if for some reason I could create an IS, it'd be essentially a walking swiss army knife. I posted it a while back, and it was a grenade launcher based one. Grenade launchers are quite good, as they can load things similar to shotgun shells as well.

what about an IS unit that has electrokinesis‽

Neat. I see electric weapons could be the IS weaknesses here. An antagonist may illegally install it on her system and proceed to cause mayhem with that.

That's feasible. Not directly use electric weapons, but holds a control over currents.

[S-34]

I'm 90% sure that would be banned if it could be used to shock.
