General questions thread
If you have questions, questions of any kind but in particular:
-Anything related to the game's rules
-Anything related to the game's setting
-Asking whether a canon (normal or original) or a character idea you have and want to app is app'able into the game
Here is the thread to ask! Anyone can post, not just community members, so knock yourselves out and if there's anything the mod team can help with, don't be shy. Ask away.

An independent space colony with a fairly high tech level.
Direct neural interfaces and/or cyberbrains, a la Ghost in the Shell.
Human-made AI that's not quite at the level of fitting into a human-sized body.

Yeah. I want to app this guy and his Anchor (as a noncombatant... technically), from Bliss Stage, which I'd do as if it was an original canon and character because it's pretty low on canon other than the stuff I wrote for it.
However, Bliss Stage implies that there are extradimensional aliens taking the Dreamlands Express to freaking everywhere, which would be pretty hard to work into the setting. Should we just say that they have a portal set up in San Francisco, that there's a risk they may put out more, and that only parts of California got hit by the Bliss and the aliens?

Shadow Mirror and Shura
Also how are OCs from Banpresto going to be handled given? It's a huge cast of characters? Will it be focused on by like which SRW game they are from?
no subject
A Shura character might be problematic though, unless someone apps a canon Compact 3 character (most likely Folka).
Regarding Banpresto OCs: if it's an original character who uses a relatively common Banpresto unit (such as a Gespensts or a Lion) or an original one, and comes with their own storyline - then there are no problems, they count as a standard OC as per app rules. If they were to be involved with some part of Banpresto original plot (for example, an OC who has ties with the SRX team, or the SRW D originals), then that plot must be present in the game already, and you need permission from its players for the app to be approved - as is the case for other "canon OCs".

Ya my idea would be possibly a lost Shadow Mirror who missed jumped and would be with whatever group he was in to gather information and keep going with their goal of causing conflict.
On the Shura idea I could go into more detail with you if you had the time? I have AIM and skype. The idea idea I'd be really interested in working with the mods on. For I do have a few ideas of how to make it work.

He's an OC from Hawken. The game's backstory and setting have been laid out in a series of graphic novels called Hawken: Genesis.
Basic premise is—it's 2467(ish) and takes place on Illal, a distant planet that had been terraformed and colonized. Corporate wars led to the release of a nano-virus that is slowly consuming the biosphere, and the United Terran Authority has quarantined the planet to prevent its spread.
The two remaining megacorporations on Illal are now fighting over the remaining resources on Illal as well as a byproduct of the nano-virus, Vitrolium, which has proven to be an extremely potent fuel source. Given the UTA quarantine, they're forced to repurpose civilian and scavenged technology into military hardware.
How would that mesh with SRWU? I've never actually played a single Super Robot Wars game, so I have no idea how they pulled off the crazy "everything goes" crossover plots.

1. It's an alternate universe. A TSEN (teleporter) malfunction sends player characters there, and following that a stable nexus is built that allows for two-way communication. This allows the canon to be intergrated with a smallest number of changes. But on the other hand, "alternate universe" may seem like an easy way out especially if you want integration with others.
2. We limit the canon to a local scale, and it takes place on Earth. The nanovirus was released in a single region, for example a part of Australia or South America. Since then, that place is a quarantined "dead zone", but inside the dead zone two corporations are still active, and they're still fighting.
If you want to talk this over in greater detail, please contact me on AIM: cubey@aol.pl

I guess a more broad question I could just ask is this: Does anything at all in Megas XLR canon need changing to fit SRWU?
Relatedly, how do I treat Megas' ridiculous convenient plot tech and weapons? Do I list mostly main stuff and only have others pop up with mod permission? One example might be the stuff Coop was working on to pilot Megas without the control module, which he only used once when Jamie was borrowing the car. Basically one-shot equipment and/or weapons.
no subject
List weapons that Megas used in canon, while others are either upgrades that you post on the Upgrade Request page, or one off things that you do once on a mission and, just in case, check that the running mod is fine with.
