The issue:

What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) play vs. Tournament or non-WYSIWYG play.

Web App solution:

Opening page

Units

• New Unit

• WYSISYG (Advanced Assembly)
• Tournament (Simple Assembly)

• [WARNING: Good for beginners new to the system, but will be at a slight disadvantage]

• Load Unit

Pilots

• New Pilot
• Load Pilot

Hangar

• New Hangar
• Load Hangar

New WYSIWYG Unit (Advance Assembly)

Request:

• Name: textbox [Ability to Skip][Default: "Unnamed"]
• Description: Long textbox [Ability to Skip][Default: "No information"]
• Unit Type: Combobox [Mech, Vehicle, Drone]

If Mech: Add [Head, Torso, L Arm, R Arm, L Leg, & R Leg] to Core Parts

If Vehicle: Add [Cockpit, Body, L Section, & R Section] to Core Parts

If Drone: Add [Body] to Core Parts

Core Parts Page

Page displays defaults loaded in from above (Mech as example). Clicking on a Section bring up its page.

Head

• Rename: textbox [Default: "Head"]

Title will display [Total Defense Value][Default: "0"] along with the name of the section. Page below will be empty except for a "+" icon in the top center with the text "Add New Part".

• Add New Part

Hitting this will add a new box:

Name of Part: textbox	Notation: combobox	Image of Part	Confirm: Y/N

All will sit on the same line side-by-side. Once name and notation are added, the part image will populate and a confirmation icon will appear on the right. Once confirmed, the part will be added to the section and the "Add new part" icon will appear under it.

Equipment

Weapons

Add location of equipment as part of creation. IE for Hands or mounted

If Mounted, request location based on number of limbs.

Generate list of Units and Pilots

Units by Size Category then Durability

Pilots by rank

Assign Pilots to units somehow? I'm not really sure on this one.

New Unit creation:

Pick power plant

Power plants are limited to how much armor they can carry, however you can pay extra to remove some of those restrictions. You may only pick a single power plant per unit. If a unit has two classes less armor than it gains a +1 Move bonus. If it is four classes below it gains a +2 move bonus.

Power Plant List

Class 1

Maximum Core Durability: 75

Name | Movement | AP

Basic Power Plant | 5 | 2

Class 2

Maximum Core Durability: 150

Basic Power Plant | 4 | 2

Class 3

Core Unit

When building your unit it will have a core section. Most of the time for mech units this is the chest. For others it depends on the parts used for a vehicle. If it is a vehicle and you're not sure, pick the core unit from the unit that most of your parts came from. If unit has multiple chest pieces, in the case of some mechs, pick your favorite. It is also possible that you may pay extra to pick a different one.

Unit Durability

Durability is your units ability to survive combat. Purchasing more allows you to stay on the battlefield longer. However some Power Plants are unable to carry more than a specific amount of durability on the main parts of the unit. Each unit is broken down into sections. For a mech unit this is its limbs, torso, and head for vehicle units it is based on the design of the unit and how it is built.

Purchasing armor is done at 1 Durability per Deployment cost. When building a mech unit pay for the torso, head, then any limbs the mech has attached. The torso should have the greatest durability since it contains the pilot and losing the torso is an instant kill. Afterward do any wings, but not the backpack they are attached to that counts as part of the torso, or other extraneous parts that don't count as limbs.

Optional Movement

5.a. if you've got thrusters and shit they need armor too 5.b. if they have enough durability to match the power plant then you can fly.

Weapons

6.a. fuck weapons

Pilot

7.a. fuck pilots
