BoloOfEarth Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 So, is this just about corny names? No, just a minor thread derailment. Sorry about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I don't want to give too much away yet, but I wanted a vehicle to allow for a large number of flag-suits. If you're looking for suggestions, I'd say repurposed B-1 bombers would work. You'd want relatively high speed and decent payload. Since many of your flagsuits likely can fly, you probably don't need to worry overmuch about VTOL, so the vehicle would be mainly for dropoff and retrieval and not have to get into the fray (so no real need for defensive weaponry). You could have several rows of seats in the weapons bays, each seat on it's own set of rails to drop field team members individually. Automated rockets to rush the jump seat toward the ground, and then at the right altitude the rockets cut off, spin 180, and kick on again to slow the jump seat to a survivable landing. I'm imagining a not-Resolution hero working with them and getting offered a ride to a hot zone. Briefed beforehand on the actual attack plan, starting with a "standard drop-off." Sees the B-1, with the bomb bay doors open and the high-tech seats hydraulically lowered for load-up. Figures they'll be flying to an airport close to the hot spot, land, and then get other transportation to the actual LZ. But once they're over the LZ, the bomb bay doors open and the seats begin dropping off the rails in pairs, rockets deploying and igniting to speed them toward the ground. Heck of a ride.

Enforcer84 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Nah the Resolution is the Vehicle itself. My project involves a bunch of character write ups and a surprising number of them turned out to be flag-suits. Some are on other teams, some are solo, and there's one "Unofficial" flag suit team as well but the Resolution is an excuse for a large number of them to be active in one group....which makes a bit more sense when I start rolling them out in January. I've bitten off way more than I can comfortably chew - but it's given me something to occupy my mind for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ah, sorry, different meaning of "vehicle." My bad. I was being too literal. Though I think I may use the B-1 idea myself, just so that during the drop I can tell the players, "Make a CON roll to keep from soiling yourselves."
