Quinn Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Ok, so since it's likely in the next one or two months I might be getting my Bronze Reward, I thought I'd get started on building my third char; Foehammer. It's basically a battlesuit build, but with a twist; there's a very special onboard AI that provides strategic information, highly effective Master Plans, as well as the occasional witty comment that throws off his enemies. I think I might be trying something new, but I'm unsure. Here's the initial build, can I see some opinions on what to tweak, remove, or otherwise edit? Name: Foehammer In Brief: A quiet, friendly engineer with a battlesuit, a missing arm, the Foundry after his head, and a snarky AI.

Due to there not being a pilot, as well as integrated failsafes, it can only access certain systems in the suit, and none of the heavier weapons (as in it can only access the life support, the flight, the strength servos, simple movement, etc). There are also two passwords in the engineer's possession; an unlocking code so the AI is permitted to run the suit, and a killswitch code should the AI go rogue (which is unlikely, seeing as how it likes existing). Generally, the only times it's ever permitted to run the Foehammer is when a) the pilot is incapacitated, or he really needs the suit where he is, but can't go and get it due to complications. Any thoughts for a title for the AI as well?

felicitousFolly Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Here's a couple ideas I had. Some seem fitting, and some were just me trying for funny and might not be the best idea... Overbold, Brassy, Brassiere, or Cocky.
