Well, that fight in Bloody Bay last night proved one thing... My build is good There are a few things i'll need to change to suit my play style and make me more effective against certain enemies (Stalkers!), but all in all, Stryke Force is shaping up in good form

Went in and enjoyed myself for a bit. I don't mind Stalkers etc doing what they do best, but right at the end i flew up to the villian base and noticed a stalker in the air as i'd popped 4 insights. I thought he was fighting an adjacent hero so i moved in, only to realise they were chatting, so i apologised in type and waited there a second, only for the first stalker i saw try to AS me for a frankly cowardly kill.

I'm on now

No worries matey, ill add you and give invite when you're on. You can change your handle by going to your menu screen and pick Chat Handle and click on change

Definately, i used the excuse of the crying to get up this morning so i can sit with ma laptop whilst rocking/feeding baby

Level 27 now Went to Bloody Bay yesterday and absolutely pwnd the villains there. then went to sirens where i was finding it harder to hold my own as i was SK'd up and the people i was fighting were Exemp'd down. But still lots of fun 4 Pips to level 28 and Power Boost! Then they'll be in trouble!

Deluge was born Ethan Locke, early February 1982. He went through his childhood as any ordinary boy would, living his life to its fullest. After working his way through the education system, he finally won over a scholarship for the Massachusetts Insititute for Technology at the age of 19, being the youngest to ever do so. Keen on his work to make a clean, permanent power source for the entire world, he inlisted some of the worlds best minds to help run an experiment that dealt with a new kind of kinetic energy system that had been found during the Rikti invasion.

As expected the results were phenominal, the kinetic reactor produced the estimated outputs, and climbed to ten times what they had expected. As this was an unexpected turn of events, they had not deployed all safety countermeasures and the kinetic core became unstable. Ethan feverishly tried to hold containment on the reactor whilst getting all personell clear of the site, as he did not want his experiment to cost innocent lives.

In a last ditch effort to hold the containment, Ethan realised the only way to shut the reactor down was to stop the kinetic movement of the core. He entered the room wearing a special suit, modified from Rikti battle armour, and tried to manually stop the reaction. After much fighting with the computer systems and containment grids, he realised the only way to stop the critical mass from breaching was to disrupt the kinetic core with his own body, hoping that the containment suit would be enough to slow it down.

And he was right...

As Ethan plunged into the core, battling the intense forces that were ripping away at his body, he felt the energy levels dropping, slowing down the reaction. As he passed out into darkness, the core went into a localised supernova, bonding Ethans body with the containment suit, burning away all dispensible materials on both the suit and his body, filling the space with pure energy.

When Ethan finally came to his senses, he realised something was wrong. He could feel everything around him, as an enervating field, coming from the Earth's core. He found that the explosion had imbued him with the power to control the energy of everything around him, including the force of the Earth itself. As he worked himself from the rubble, he ran into a special Arachnos Strike Force, that had been sent to clear up the survivors of the disaster. The Strike Force tried to subdue Ethan, but he over-whelmed them with his raw power, sending his own body into a supernova, stopping almost everyone around him. The sole survior explained to Ethan that they sabotaged the containment field prior to the experiment under the orders of Lord Arachnos.

Ethan vowed to overcome Arachnos and make him pay for his injustices against the free world. So he travelled to Paragon City, knowing it under the guise of 'The Birth Place of Heroes', to put together a like-minded team dedicated to wiping out injustice and the fall of Lord Arachnos. This is when he joined the Precision Rangers, a supergroup that was totally dedicated to wiping out the criminal element in the city.

The fight carries on today.........

I've managed to convince the missus to give me some more time tonight to complete this one. Doesn't take long anyway, and i'm sure i can spend enough 'quality' time with her during the day

I'll promise to try and get more tomorrow, everyone is at the hospital now, which is why i'm here chilling for a while. I can't stand big crowds

So here are two, cuz i was too busy being told what to do by my mother and her mother to take many

Piccy 1
Piccy 2

Gotta admit though, she definately takes after me, all she has done is sleep

I'm gonna get some kip now. Both will be staying in the hospital tonight just for check-ups etc, so i'll be here and i guess i'll make my services available as i've rushed around and got everything else sorted too

Thanks for all the posts there guys. Just been back up to the hospital and both Saira and Kaya are doing fine I did take a couple of piccies, but at the moment i'm still shattered so will put one up later, she's soooo cute

Congrats mate Sorry i missed it, was a little busy if you read my other post I'm going to ring all of you later, just need sleep now...

At 6:48 06/12/2005 GMT, my daughter Kaya was born

She weighed in at 7lb 4oz and is absolutely beautiful!! I've had no sleep and just got in from ringing everyone, so i'm off to sleep now. I'll post a piccy later when i pop back and take some

Mid post i got a shout from missus, think she has gone into labour. can't amke it. cya soon

Thanks for the posts guys, some really useful information here from guys that play the builds Plight, as useful as i've found all your posts and PM's i reckon i'd have more luck deciphering the Da Vinci code on first view

Yeah This is the kind of thing i wanted to start happening in this thread

People get making PvP toons if your interested and join up now

Count me in, i need the badge and the inf

Come on Gen, what can be more amusing then me running into a huge mob, face planting and screaming 'Working as intended!'?

Again, comic value for the win!

You'll need Stryke Force on that team, if for nothing other than comic value

The badges are for 'Arrests' not the rep you achieve

Perhaps i shall keep conserve power then

Nice thanks I wasn't sure about the whole conserve power thing as i've only recently started playing an energy melee blaster. Heard mixed things about it, but if people are saying it's not worth it, hey, who am i to argue?

The only reason i took boost range right at the end is because i was looking to the power lists and realised there was nothing else i fancied. I don't wanna be at range much, i prefer close quaters combat. So i may drop that all together. As for the slots for Whirlwind, info taken and will be used

Okay, interesting comments on the boards and in game. so i've modified the van, true A-Team style. See what you reckon now.
