    Was that a back and forth from the '80s movie or was it during the series?

    See you had me totally confused. I was trying to think up a member of the Nova guys or Supreme Squadron with the name of Kup and Ironhide.


    We totally had a cosmic police thing going on and then you throw me this curveball.


    This is why we're not together. I just can't read your mind!

    I made a Dark/Psi dude I named Nether Squadron.

    Then I tried killing a dude solo with him and it took so long I just logged off >_>

    Psi is not known for its dmg abilities, especially early on. I've heard it gets better since hardly anythign resists psi at the higher end. You could always roll a different power set, if you want, or if you just don't like Defender damage make a Blaster.

    Well, I'm already primarily playing a Blaster for the duration of my free pass thing but I could roll another with different ability pools. Besides the shitty inherent, what stays consistent between all Blasters, regardless of ability pool choice?

    Fry you do whatever you want, buddy. I was just making a suggestion encase you didn't like the Defender playstyle.

    My initial reaction was D:
    But then I decided it actually fits the theme really well...as long as she is wearing a shirt and pants/shorts.

    I am sorry, I've had Transformers on my brain since '84.
    And that was an exchange from the movie, between Kup and...one of the new guys who sucked. Kup and Ultra Magnus were the only cool new guys, and maybe Springer. I still can't decide if I like him.

    I at first thought Acc was making a Transformers reference but given that this is like a Green Latern-ish thread I made the incorrect assumption that it wasn't a Transformer reference.

    Because Acc sucks.

    I have no idea what I'd want to make. I already have two corruptors and I'm working on a low-level defender. Maaaybe I can pitch the dark/TA defender (he's, like, 11) and remake him a dark/dark.

    I know, I can read, Acc. :P I meant, having two corruptors that I've played as villainous blasters might turn me off of being a blaster. And my time with my Peacebringer hasn't endeared me to Khelds.

    Yeah, I was initialy going for Gamma to speak similar to HK-47 being a robot and all, but it takes too long to type out that sentence prefix. I think I'll just go with the Robot from TimeSplitters.

    Cutting yourself is vastly preferable to playing a human form WS.

    Man, but I already have a Peacebringer... granted, he's also low-level, and has a similar costume...

    Tell me, people. Should I make Saturnal Squadron, or Umbral Squadron? (PB or WS?)

    If your PB is low level, just reroll him for this.

    I was just making with the funny.
    I do like the look of WS powers better than PBs, though. And the ideas are fresh, for CoX, but goooood lord are they terribly executed.

    I got all excited when I saw the "Kheldian improvements" thing in the i10 patch notes, but all it did was add Villain AT bonuses to the Kheld inherent. I assume that WS will get a Villain version and maybe, just maybe, will get tweaked to not be so painful when that happens. The single target snare just angers me to no end.

    Just cause I feel like making a Kheldian rant, things they need to change:

    Giving what, 10 extra powers, but not a single extra enhancement slot? Way to insure that a third of your powers suck.

    Auto-powers like fitness not carrying over to forms.

    No access to fly or tp pools. Goddammit, I want to fly on my WS!

    Forms never get better...Novas are the best blasters around at level 6, but at 30? 50? Let me drop these worthless human blasts and single immobs and get some new Dwarf attacks, cause 2 attacks at level 50 just plain sucks.




    I actually don't mind Voids, they keep things interesting.

    Now my duo needs to figure out what he wants. He'll probably play a blaster. I'm leaning on him to do Energy because I think he'll have fun with KB... :P

    Nah, honestly, I'd like to do my Kheld on something with you guys because it'll be a chance to run with a big group.

    So yeah, Saturnal Squadron will be made as soon as I get home.

    This sounds better then whatever the hell else I was going to do tonight. I am thinking Void Squadron (Warshade). Would I be allowed a dark color as long as I have high contrast (equal amount of bright color)? Cause you know, Void, creature of negative energy and all that. I am thinking Black Bolt style with a bit less black (and maybe not black as the dark color).

    Yeah, sure. I always thought Black Bolt's costume looked dark navy, maybe shoot for dark purple.
    Whatever, as long there is some bright non-emo shizzle going on.

    Its a neat concept. I might make one, or just burn a trial account to play around with this a little since I'm out of slots on Virtue. Maybe when server transfer goes live I'll ship a couple of dudes off somewhere so I have room to play around with this kind of thing.


    If Devices had grenades, I'd totally make a dude called Bomb Squadron. ;-) Though if that name isn't taken, I'd be shocked.

    I have no idea what I might make. Sonic/EM blaster perhaps. Or possibly a Rad/Elec def.

    Also, everyone playing Sonic Resonance knows about the graphics changing in I10 right?

    Members of The Squadron had to kick a whole hell of a lot of ass at one time in a Safeguard tonight.
    We were up to the challenge.

    Sonna had me design a Squadron member for her. After she decided she'd be a Storm/Energy Defender this is what I came up with...

    I never make female heroes, since I only play male, so it was a lot of fun getting to make Serenity Squadron.
