    @Aspius: Let me be clear: Omega has to follow the same rules everyone else does; you can have your Chippewa if your lance has the money for it and Orc approves the purchase. Since bombs currently have ZERO cost in MekHQ, THEY WILL NOT BE USED. We have already tested with them and, frankly, even if they did have a cost, i doubt they are expensive enough to balance how overpowered they are. Sorry, if you want to use Aero, you will actually need to be good at strafing runs. If this doesn't appeal to you, I remember you mentioning you might switch to a tanker. There are spots available for tankers. I'm getting really tired of this conversation with you. Decide and do it quickly.... please. If I don't hear from you very soon, we will have to leave you behind on these matters.

    I know that we need to have the money for it. Sorry if it sounded like something else (Now that i look back. I shouldnt have typed it like that)

    I didnt know that you had taken away HE bombs compleltly.

    The vechile i wanted to use moved at 2/3 and no armor (i could get up to 4/5 if i switch to the lighter version) so...
    I would like to switch to it but you said it was to slow

    And I thought you were suicidal enough for considering infantry...

    Removal of the HE bombs was a recent stopgap measure. I don't like to artificially limit the game, but the HE bombs as they are currently implemented are just plain broken. A 50 ton fighter loaded with bombs is a HUGE force multiplier. While it *is* "realistic", it just stops making the fight fun for everyone else. Hence, until we can get them balanced a bit more, no more bombs.

    What is something wrong with my format or something?

    Would you prefer the original Excel version? Or is there an actual inbox that it's supposed to go in?
    (I had put it in the content-admin --> lance financial reports --> Omega Lance folder)

    EDIT: Version with updated formatting en route.

    Actually, the originals were quite good, I'm just hoping to standardize everyone so it is easy to keep track of.

    I have been posting the same message in most of the lance threads.

    I forgot to say it, but thank you Orc for keeping yours up to date :)

    -EDIT-

    Also, Blue apparently wants a Stingray F-92. Except that one is not available until 3050 (according to MegaMek files). You have time so I suggest discussing it with him. Unlike the refits, buying new fighters will be far less time consuming.

    Two thing about tonight:
    1) I will mostly likely end up arriving a bit later than Magnus' scheduled time. My schedule today is dependent on other people. If I don't arrive by midnight EST, I'll defer the fate of the mission to the rest of you.

    2) I cannot seem to find the customized Corsair I had requested (see the Omega Lance financial report and relevant PMs for details). I also don't know how to use MekHQ to buy/assemble parts.

    midnight is awfully late for us to wait considering we had planned on 7:30 EST. :sad: I know you haven't had an opportunity to drop as your pilot much, Orc and I definitely want to give you the opportunity... but, I'm worried midnight might be too late to get things started. Realistically, we should allow a minimum of 2 hrs. That's 2am EST if we started AT midnight. Seeing as I'm the only one who seems to know how to use aerospace outside of Omega Lance, that puts me in a bit of a jam. Realistically, I could wait until 10 est... maybe a little later.

    ...

    Aw fuck it...

    Do you have free texting nationwide? You could send me a text on my cell and let me know when you might be showing up: 386-278-6645

    Reset: Negotiation level 2 (14+4+5) (training+level 1 + level 2) = 23

    46 XP gained
