What I REALLY don't get is what makes Rosestar so difficult? I mean in the Asian launch trailer she seems like she's at least just a Street Justice and/or MA fighter, at her most "super powered" she might be an SS And/or Energy Melee.
Her powers are ultimately described rather vaguely, and what little has been shown does not suggest she would be impossible to make outside the existing power selections. Costume's a bit of another matter.

Now as far as Sparkblade is concerned, possibly a simple way around it might be to use him ONLY for a contact or trainer, if he has to be used as an ally, perhaps they could give some handwave to it like "villains stole mah sword, that's why I need heroes to help meh!"

Though some other people have proposed that the idea of using Sparkblade as the basis of giving players a "Sword and Pistol"/"Swashbuckling" assault (with special NPC hax that adds energy damage and end drain/recovery debuff) certainly holds appeal, where it not for the sad fact that in such a case, it would be a set truly only Doms would have access to. (This, in of itself could be mitigated by introducing an assault/armor AT. Hinthint, nudgenudge, winkwink?)

Well, kind of sort of. The closest I tend to see sky scrappers together was when I went to Las Vegas for my Aunt's birthday, but to my recollection, out here in a place like California, even in Los Angeles or Anaheim they don't pretty HUGE sky scrappers that close together. I think it's considered a safety hazard or something. (Seriously, if there was a repeat of 9/11 and buildings were squeezed together with maybe only a ten foot wide alley between them, you're looking at a whole city block going down.)

Though, if you'd really like a reference, try google maps and looking up LA and other such major cities on Street View.

You got the meme wrong, GG, it goes: There are no girls on the Internet.
Which is becoming increasingly ridiculous and impossible, since everyone knows everything is connected to the Internet these days.

My hat is a portable Wifi zone projector.

Ohhhh! This would be cool!

"Inter-Dimensional Clockwork King, UNITE!"
"Form: Arms and legs!"
"Form: Body!"
"And I'll form THE BRAIN!"

It's already happened, Marauder has a Meta-Memory, so he remembers the countless people who have farmed the Lambda Sector, and that said people have only grown stronger since and will continue to get stronger.
So he's resigned himself to his fate and figures he can at least avoid having his ego bruised further.

Funny part is, before the MoM trial I kind of imagined that this would happen with the three versions of the Clockwork King we know of (CK Prime, the CK from the Clockwork Dimension, and Metronome) and become something of a freakishly powerful, Super-17-like entity dedicated to protecting both Penelope Yins.

SPOILERS!

Actually, if you played responsibilities arcs up to Cleopatra and remain loyal, then talk to Maurader and prod his apparent indifference about Cleopatra's betrayal and death, you really get a new feel for the guy.

He says that, yes, he does care, yes, he's hurt she betrayed him, but he's actually even more frustrated by the whole situation and admits he doesn't really care whether Cole or the Resistance wins. He'll fight hard for his side, but in the end, having a victor either way to him would have meant things like Cleopatra betraying him wouldn't happen anymore.

The problem is that Recluse isn't a dictator, but a very careless one who's style of management with Arachnos and the Isles has been, in-game, and with applied logic, shown to be as faulty as Andrew Ryan's Rapture.

Oh, crap! AEON IS MUSASHI! RUN, SAMMY! RUN!

Vanguard and it was Techbot Alpha.

I am now imagining spaghetti spilling out of Silos' pockets.
Silos: @#$%ING HEROSTOP!

Anyway though, I do echo Thesselia's own view on Penelope Yin, not Venture's. To be honest, I LIKE the character and want to continue liking her, but over exposure and how she was reintroduced/who she replaced, and how she's been presented lately has left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
Frankly, if I had had my own way, she would have joined WISDOM with Flower Knight (both the organization and latter character getting far too little exposure) and Sister Psyche would have simply retired/remained as a consultant for the FP.

Now for the actual critique of the arc, I mentioned the heroside version felt a bit weak and watery, and the villainside was only so much better. At first I was wondering why it was Arachnos I was still fighting in the final mission, but then I remembered we are trying to put them into our shadow. I also really am hoping that just once, PLAYER VILLAINS get a victory OF THEIR OWN.

Meaning when the arc ends, we are NOT backstabbed (at least not so much to truly warrent promptly taking it down), the upcoming issue introduces our new organization as yellow/blue conning NPCs that have taken over various, formerly Arachnos locations, and various maybe even future contacts linked to this organization who greet us in a friendly/fearful and respectful manner.

Oh, I also am kind of annoying deep inside that the Antikythera Mechanism, a great SCIENTIFIC/TECHNOLOGICAL achievement was reduced to another magical MacGuffin. Why does it have to be magic to track magic? In canon lore, Poistron's been shown to make tech devices that can detect magic, so why couldn't the Antikythera device been the earliest example of such? It was already one of (if not the) first freakin' in-organic computers.

I'm pretty sure that's also a possibility. Though part of me wants to say: Hey, if Sky Raider pilots are skilled enough to fly a Sky Skiff indoors/through doors without blasting them open, why can't I be good enough to 'donut' all over the carpet of Cole Tower's lobby before Cole comes in and invalidates my insurance.

Look, frankly, I'd say I'd just be happy with a flying car without rocket launchers or any other gadgets, it's a freakin' flying car that will likely consume only 0.02 end per-second.
So what we'd have is a car that can subvert normal traffic congestion issues and have infinite fuel capacity.
That's more than "super" enough for me for a super-mobile.

It's unfortunately IMPOSSIBORU because skin color in "tops with skin" counts as the secondary color.
