You go ahead and have your big, lumbering mech. I'll stick to an AI in a nice compact robot body, should I ever get around to writing up yet another bio for my favorite tool of destruction. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

I'm busy considering the ramifications of being a paraplegic mecha pilot in a sci-fi setting. Cause, you know, losing your legs and being salty about it for whatever reason suddenly makes the basis of a totally cliché awesome character.

This is, of course, assuming Emo's thread even has mechas. Which is silly notion, because everyone knows you can't have sci-fi without giant mechs...


Of course it has mechs, silly! I wouldn't make a sci-fi thread without mechs. That would be dumb!
Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy! =)

I'll just make a guy who spams EMP grenades.

EMP is extremely easy to be hardened against, and any mechanical unit worth anything will be at that point in time.


You could also argue that EMPs have become more powerful. It doesn't matter how much work you put into making something more defensible when just as much work if not more will be put into knocking it down again.

Well, if we're going by an equal amount of scaling over time, the same conclusion will be reached. You can EMP ordinary systems, but hardware that has advanced with the weapon will still be superior to it. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
