This is a forum for submitting and referencing ideas for technology, mechanical devises, faction info, and character or group back story for our roleplay, Space Odessey.

We will be using this as a place to plan out various subjects in story or explain things we might not be able to get to in the role play.

Too start off, since were doing a sci-fy mech roleplay, I suggest we distribute the basic types of mechs into weight classes.

Light class would be between 10ft to 15ft in size and act often as either recon units or work in groups for hit and run tacts.

Medium class would be 15ft-20ft and be more of the multi-purpose front lines unit.

Heavy class would be 20ft-25ft and be the major vanguard of frontal assaults and charges.

There woulb be of course some slight varying with different types and any modified mechs but I think this would be a good starting idea.

Objections? Thoughts? Comments? Give me your own two cents on it and anything you think might work better.

Might I suggest we use Mach speed as the term for high speed objects like interceptors or other one man craft. Mach speed is the speed of sound, at sea level that's about 1,236 kilometres per hour (768 mph), or about one kilometer in three seconds or approximately one mile in five seconds.

Planet side I don't think vehicles could hit this speed since wind pressure would ripe the hull apart but in space, with no wind pressure, they might be able to hit two or three Machs without any trouble. Keep in mind that making tight turns at that speed would be a nightmare.
