    Upgrade File Sniper Joe

    Joe is a rather bare bones humanoid model. Well Bare bones for Wily anyways. At the moment he's only armed with his arm cannon and shield. Both of which could take on a small squad of pretty much any other robot. But for Wily it's rather weak.

    So many things could be improved. Much of his subsystems are bare bone because of how little time you had to whip them up with. Well now you have time. So what do you work on first?

    General Upgrades
    []Optics. ~You could easily give him another eye. Or improve his only one. Doesn't matter which. Either is an improvement.
    []Heart Tank. ~Replace it with a bigger Heart. In layman's terms this improves the amount of energy Joe can produce. It's needed for bigger upgrades down the line. It does also improve health.
    []Hydraulics Systems. ~Joe needs a little work over. This would improve the rate he can move around and How much force he can put into everything.
    []Circuitry. ~Effectively Joe's Nervous system and blood vessels. Fixing this up improves his reaction rate and the amount of power his heart can send to anything.
    []Armor. ~This is pretty much what it says on the tin. It comes in Red.
    []Skeletal structure. ~Reinforcing this let's you put on more weight and increases his shock absorption.

    Unique upgrades
    []Blaster~ So many ways you could alter this.
    []Mini Rockets~ You could totally fit in small rockets somewhere.
    []Solar Charger~ Take in sunlight. Produce Energy. Release the Kraken.
    []DinoMan Idea~ Well you could take one of DinoMan's concepts and apply it to them to make them fit his theme~
    []Write In~ Don't go wild.

    You finish your touches on the small bot as the heli spins and it lifts into the air.

    Your first Aerial bot isn't much. But, it is a start that you needed.

    Your first action with your new bots. Send them all to the junkyard. You want to know what's going on.

    Random Event.
    [18:05] <qqdice> Latewave rolled 1d100: 100 = [100]
    You win. All the things. SO manly.

    ...

    Well I'll keep this a secret for now.

    Holding on to it for a bit.

    Lets see if we can't make them a bit closer to what the name would imply, yes?

    Also, knocked up a quick image of what Dinoman might look like. Two of them, though one was done in a program I'm none too familiar with.

    [X] Bouncing Bullet - Joe is a powerful shooter but he lacks a certain umph that you've been meaning to give him... of course one of your lesser creations stumbles in while chasing a bouncing rubber cap which seemed to have escaped from something that might actually be important... Still it gave you an idea... what if you made bouncing ammo! [Bouncing ammo rounds+]

    [X] Joe Ocelot - Considering that your just went though all the trouble of designing a brand new type of weapon and ammo for your frontline gunners... you get the feeling (after having watched them shoot themselves in the face with bouncing bullets a few too many times that it was time to really expand on their capability to AIM. Thus you create the Ocelot Guidance system (You have the strangest urge to name it revolver... but one has to stick to theme afterall). This system specifically calculates bouncing trajectories Allowing Joes to shoot at most targets without ever having to directly aim... unfortunately the bastard things now use it when ever you play pool with them so you're stuck using Met bots for that... and its significantly harder for a game to go quickly when one side doesn't have arms... [Trajectory Tracking Correction system+]

    Guys. The Sniper Joes are the only real grunts we have ATM. We shouldn't go playing with super-estoteric stuff until we have a solid base to work off of.

    But... this is EXACTLY the kind of thing Wily would do.

    This is a guy who trips over half buttered toast in the morning and has a design for a slip and slide butter based doom bot halfway to the production yard that same night.

    Lets go with the flow... Practicality is overrated next to INSPIRATION at work. It's part of what make Wily so bloody dangerous... you never know what the hell is coming at you next because he doesn't make practical things... he makes weird RANDOM ideas INTO practical things.

    From how I'm reading it, the current Joes we have are a fair bit below average in quality. Plus, even if we go for practicality for the Joes, that 100 we got will most likely allow us to have fun with things.

    You do that. I'mma keep thinking like Wiley... lol. Its far more fun and quite likely to result in funtimes. Can you imagine all the joes never wasting a shot as they fight in close corners? SHOOTING AROUND Corners.

    This is the time for interesting upgrades, we can add functionality as we go along side of INSPIRED actions. Come on Live a little!

    Xicree, your upgrades are better for specialized units. We don't want to limit our primary combat robot to bouncing shots. It drastically cuts down their range in open areas. When we have slightly more diversity among our troops upgrading one of them to bouncing is worthwhile. Until then it is going to get our 'sniper' joes killed by anyone with range.

    What corners? We're in a place that primarily desert at the moment.

    And it's going to take a lot more energy than normal to make those shots bounce. Making a variant of Sniper Joes that have to spend less time on the field for bonuses that don't quite apply for our situation isn't that smart.

    And if Wily is one thing, he's a very very smart individual.

    First stop SCRAP YARD. If that is a Straight shooting environment then I'll eat my hat. This is random inspiration but it is STILL suitable for the 'stage' that we are going after.

    Motherfucker's the dude who made a new element by accident because he was on a manic building spree inspired by trumping Megaman. Said new element producing more power than anything the world's ever known, and this is a world where jamming a nuclear reactor in a robot is completely viable (Protoman).

    Make no mistake, Wily's at his best when he running on nothing but a dream and a desire to make it happen. The fiddly bits all fall into place as an afterthought.

    Can I just say I've observed a tendency towards "wait for Xicree, vote Xicree" on quests here? It's annoying.

    Then make an vote that's interesting and works; bonus points if it's really IC. Congratulations, you've cracked the secret recipe that Xicree uses to get votes.

    I suspect that people would vote for Xicree's write in even if he hadn't yet voted. I've seen it happen before.

    Changing vote to
    [X] Heart Tank
    [X] Solar Charger

    It fits with what I want, isn't pointlessly gimmicky, and is useful for the situation at hand.
    Also: Shooting around corners? How exactly are we going to see exactly where targets are unless we physically look around it? And if we do that might as well just shoot them in the face.
