That could be part of it, sometimes stuff isn't as bad in fic as it seems in a profile, but with only the profile to go on and said profile seeming to have so many superlatives in it, it was worrying.

But you still missed out two big points. The moonlight can at best be used once per minute. Which then leaves him with two weapons. But he rarely wield two at the same time because they both drain a lot of energy from him. Well... you'll see my point in a few lines.
I was aware of the limited deployment time, but I still maintain that as it's an extremely powerful assassination type weapon it doesn't really need to be used often to fulfill it's function. Likewise I'd still say it having two weapons of that caliber would be pushing it, since again the canon unit can barely support one and it has NO ranged weapons at all. While your guy didn't have great shooting options he still had some.

Quote:
But I still planned for that IS to be powerful. Mainly due to the fact that he is supposed to PROTECT Orimura Ichika, who is one of the CCs with an already quite good power level.
That could be part of the issue too frankly. Ichika is the main character, yes there are people more powerful then him, but they all tend to be villains in order to promote teamwork. Designing someone on his side that significantly upstages him is different and is going to set off alarm bells in many peoples heads. It's not impossible to do well, but it's ALLOT easier to do poorly.

Quote:
Alex is after all, the member of a secret organization that is hacked up in variant parts, going from lawful neutral to chaotic evil.
That doesn't remove the need to keep things balanced and interesting and try not to crap all over the canon characters if you're going to interact with them.

Quote:
I did relook at the entire cast though, and I do believe that some adjustments are needed as you stated.
That's really all I was getting at I'm not like "shit sux ditch it all.", just "I think there maybe some issues in this with regards to the setting"

Quote:
Perhaps it was also the fact that this IS would serve both in JE's and Meister's fan-fics, as well as mine, so I did not really have an idea how to gauge its power.
Could well be, in JEs frankly more overpowered universe it might not be so bad, but in the more restrained canon it comes off as a bit over powered.

Quote:
Not justifying myself, more like trying to see what he's trying to point out and see the level of validity.
And I'm not looking to bash. Like I said calling it as I see it. Nothing improves by just going "oh so cool awesome, nothing at all is wrong with this!!!". Sorry if I might have come off a tad aggressive; it's an issue I'll readily admit to as I can get caught up in disputes and come off harsher then I mean too.

Fixed.

2.5 Class are the most balanced mechs. Seeing more of them is the best. Class 3... Are fuhnz. XD

I think class 2 units should be avoided right now... we have enough of them

Hmm... I wonder if I should push him up together with the Class 2 Mechs. It's got quite a bunch of powerful weapons compared to most class 2.5... (well, it can only fit 4 big guns. But 4 big guns ARE four big guns...)

Upped him up with the "Class 2" units for now.
Still hesitating if Merlion should be considered class 2 or 2.5...

Merlion Type-IV has always was at 3.5, given that while all other parameters are equivalent to a late-3rd-gen, her power output is a mid-4G. And even when the arsenal was reduced to sensible levels, as you said, having 2 big cannons and 2 beam bazookas are still having 4 big cannons.

The rest of the posts when I get home. Posted from phone.

I'm not really considering generation here, more like power levels. If you see the bottom of my OC list, I've sorted the IS units in apparent power leves, from class 1 "Uber" to class 3 (currently the weakest one).

I upped Tamahagane to Class 2.5 because she seems to be quite powerful if used with skill.

OC List Updated (IS section). Changed the class names to make it easier to sort out.

If you mean the big gun as shoulder weapon,well,you might be wrong a little bit...
Ammo also cost space as in point,even if you carry 3 BIG gun and 5 point for ammo,you probably run out of ammo in less than a minutes.So the strategy now for Bushwacker is bring a bunch of small,medium size gun and one shoulder weapon.
If the "Heal" bit is seriously overpower I will up it to 5 or 7 minutes(well,I probably WILL do it anyway,because fight in the anime seem to last more than 10 minutes)

How would Laura react to that ?

Oh you mean its looks like the plasma pistol on Rachel's IS and was its design inspiration? My bad i misunderstood.

It's never meant to be on par, or the whole premise of canon would be ruined!

I find it much more fun for men to find themselves in useful positions even under these circumstances. Engineers, commanders, supporters, or just plain crazy boots on the ground (or fighters in the air) willing to risk the insane and save the day, these make for more compelling story-telling.

But that's just from my perspective; I have enough males with Ichika, Ed and Alex to explore the effects of IS and men so everything else is lacking.

Does (just barely) beating a bully from 2nd year armed with a 3G personal IS, using skills from the 1st year ISA curriculum (Accel Turn, Shield Purge) and armed with a 3.5G unit, at the start of the year count as 2.5?

'tis the Shadow Mirror World, son. I even named the Tesla Licht Institute among other things, and you're getting cold feet at EOT and Aliens? I am in the business of the AWESOME grim dark over here. Serious business. Therefore, EOT and Aliens are a perfectly reasonable explanation, at least by genre standards anyhow, why Humanity would all of a sudden experience a huge Tech boom that completely changes the world's order.

We're great at reverse engineering (read: stealing) another civilization's stuff, don't you know? The problem is when those other folks try to shove their patent and copyright infringement laws down our throats with extreme prejudice, saying we're still a bunch of barbarians; that we can't handle the responsibility of having all this power. ...Or there's the kind that just straight up goes, "Oh! Lookie here. It's kinda early, but~ it's gonna be a great harvest again this year, eh?"

Ooo~, DE CULTURE!

Thinking of it... Nope. :P
But isn't it the power of plot and pilot skillz that allows her to do that? Otherwise, I'll lump it with the "High Threat" category, instead of being in the "Moderate Threat" one.

Moved bushwacker down to "moderate" threat after some consideration. Most of all... does that thing have a shield? O.o
Being a BT/MW nerd here... your PPC and Plasma stuff should be high heat and long reload... thus, mounting four of those would leave a slow firing unit, so it kind balances it out.



------------------------------------------------------------------------


And now, my characters listing is complete. Here are all my OCs you can feature in your various works. You are fully authorized to ship them with whoever you want, use them as big damn heroes or as comic relief characters, as harem magnets or harem members, etc.. etc...
YESH!



THE GOOD GUYS:



Alex Hikari




Haruka Hikari




Sarah Delavalliere



THE "BAD" GUYS?:

Enrique Espada a.k.a "Nifelheim"




Sophia Rainer a.k.a "Platinum Princess"




Phew. Now I can write on my fan-fic!
Enjoy the two new "potential" bad guys.


edit: So yeah, OC list updated with the two new baddies.

A shieldless IS is a dead IS
But if you mean the shield bits,well...a melee attack could easily slice it in two,several powerful strike can obliterate it,on the other hand,if you use weak and rapid fire like a machine gun,you probably have a hard time break it.(It's the same with BT armor,weak in melee but strong against everything else)

Bushwacker is slow at like,ALL the time.It's a pure ranged unit,so it depend on the bits when a melee fighter get too close,as the bits is hard and large enough to do a head on collision course to the enemy.I will nerf the PPC and plasma cannon,but the plasma rifle would act more like autocannon(Basically,it's the energy styled "Bulldog")
