You're In Grapple Range | Blackbeard LANCER 

You know for a fact there is at least one cascading sekhmet in a Blackbeard with a dead pilot floating in an asteroid field somewhere just chewing through pirates and miners and anyone else foolish enough to come investigate

"This NHP is violent and dangerous don't use it!" Me coding the button to activate Sekhmet so when it takes control Free bird starts blaring in the cockpit: "Y'all hear somethin?"

PSA: ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS remember to TURN OFF SEKHMET before leaving your mech. SHE WILL KILL YOU

Fun fact: if you have a Goblin symbiote mech, the Sekhmet still considers that a valid target and will immediately begin chainsawing itself.

SEKMET: Rip and tear, until it is done! PILOT: Cool...when is it done exactly? SEKMET: ....

to those who want to know, "that one HORUS poster" is a user that shows up on COMP/CON HORUS terminal. she is a mercenary dating her own sekmet. dont ask

Sekhmet is just a yandere cat girl. Except instead of being murderously obsessive, she's obsessively murderous.

Sekhmet is a very good kitty with very sharp claws and _very_ good reflexes.

We at IPSN have developed the anti-piracy mech named after one of the most infamous pirates in history, with its anti-piracy boarding cables, anti-piracy hull breaching axe, and the anti-piracy beserker NHP

What fascinates me about Blackbeard, and by extension the Caliban, is that they are exceptionally violent mechs built by a manufacturer that prioritizes mechs to have some manner of greater purpose. But in the case of these two frames? Violence is not a by-product, it is the purpose, the only purpose. To the company, they exist only to tick off numbers from a spreadsheet in the most efficient ways possible.

(CLANK CLANK CLANK) Enemy mech: “what’s that sound?” Blackbeard: (Payday 2 Cloaker noises.)

Blackbeard + Zheng = melee god. also SEKHMET: BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! LET THE GALAXY *_BURN!_*

I love the idea of a blackbeard pilot yeeting his mech into the middle of a group of enemies letting Sekmet go and just sipping tea and providing color commentary on the murder.

Glad ips-n isn’t slacking in terms of frankly horrifying chassis

IPS-N, HAD, a pirate problem

10:23 To be even clearer, that also applies to you, the pilot. IF you dismount your mech ( why would you do that, the only place safe from Sekhmet is inside the mech ? ) or if you're rodeoing your mech, you are a target, and if no one's closer, well, good luck.

10:14 Extra bit of detail for clarity here - If you exit the frame while Sekhmet is active? You are now a target of your own mech.

Putting Sekhmet inside a Balor is a very good idea with no downsides whatsoever

SEKHMET Class NHPs, in many ways, is my one favorite NHP classes. Because you can pretty much swing the reason for the unimaginable violence in any way: Might be "Oh, is it killing time? HEHEHEHE FUN GIMME GIMME GIMME" Or it could be just because you gave it control over a weapon and to her? That's basically saying "Go, do a crime." Limitless potential.

I love Sekhmet. One of my favorite things in Lancer is stuffing this deadly kitty in every chassis. My personal favorite home for it (aside from Blackbeard itself) is Dusk Wing.

Yeah the Blackbeard is pretty violent, but we can agree the Enkidu is the most violent. It doesn't even need Sekhmet to be incapable of distinguishing friend from foe

Blackbeard: Shake Vigorously. Apply Liberally.

You have single-handedly convinced me and my group to try Lancer. Congrats. Now we’re addicted to another game.

CALIBAN! CALIBAN! CALIBAN! CALIBAN! THE FLUFF FOR THAT THING IS HILARIOUSLY CORPORATE AND PRACTICAL I LOVE IT SO MUCH

hey, in the Blackbeard's defense, pirates have a hard time piloting ships and stealing stuff if they get turned into chunky salsa, after all, the best kind of removal is player removal.

I suddenly want to put a Sekhmet inside an Enkidu and turn into a full-on "rip and tear" blender.

One thing to note regarding the whole "anti piracy" thing: Those things aren't just useful against pirates, but also for pirates, just saying.

Ah yes, the best way to deal with pirates....with a pirate.

Now I have to think of what I haven't already said in your shorts, the main manufacturer vids, and an other channel's frame videos. Whelp, I have a couple quote that sum up the Blackbeard mentality well. "chopheadtinybits! "Hateanddrugs! Hate and lovely lovely drugs" In response to being asked how a character was still fighting.

The lancer goat blesses us once more

A long form version of Dragonkid’s Crap Guide to Lancer series is just what I needed. I hope you do more of these!

We love it when the solution is just "pull the pin and duck for cover"

Night Spider - IPS-N Blackbeard Agility and Engi? On my spider? More likely than you think! Combat Drill. Once you get grappled, you are *done.* Pankrati and Brawler. Once you get grappled, you are **done.** PARACAUSAL AT LL12? ONCE YOU GET GRAPPLED, YOU ARE DONE! Bless this series, I'm so stoked to get back into Lancer with the newest wave of fans of this frickin' excellent game!

Ahem. -FIRE THE URSUS CLAWS!!!!! Your average Blackbeard pilot, probably...

Ah yes, the giant glorified WWE battle mech, my favourite!

See, you don't have to bend the laws of reality to be horrifying... you can just be a violent axe murderer scaled up to the size of a mech.

I wonder how the Sehkmet + Blackbeard combo stacks up to the Enkidu + Amaterasu/Lucifer combo in terms of pure "oh god oh fuck" energy...?

"talkin mad shit for someone in grapple range"

For as much Blackbeard is focused on Grappling, I prefer to use Synthetic Muscle Netting on other IPS-N frames such as Vlad or Zheng for a better effect. But Blackbeard's Lock/Kill Subsystem can server a different role, as a sort of support. After grappling an enemy, you can drag them away from their group to isolate them and have your own party deal the damage and kill them.

Yar har fiddle dee dee, a grappler's life is a life for me.

Every mission is a stealth mission if there are no witnesses

I love Blackbeard. Sekhmet, though, has the one issue of, once you activate it, you might as well drop out of the tabletop session because you no longer get to play lancer, your machine is playing lancer for you. Not that autobattling with a busted build isn't fun to watch, but generally when you put aside time to play the game, you actually want to play.

Big fan of grappler builds in any system, really lets me live out my 'Just a lil guy' dream in literally any situation. Big mechs turning buildings into parking lots? Clamber over them like a little gremlin. Dragon burninating the village? Grab his ankles and don't let go. Cyberpsycho tearing through your friends? He just needs a hug Also, glad the beard is making it's much anticipated return, looks great on you dude

Bloodforthebloodgod!

So it’s Kharn the Betrayer in Mech form. What engineer thought that was a good idea?

LETS GOOOOO NEW LANCER VID we looking forward to the licenses and all the roleplaying/nhp stuff

I knew nothing about lancer, at all. Until I watched your vid on Harrison armory, I haven’t been able to find any other creators who make lancer lore vids as fun and easy to understand as you do! Keep up the great work!

Comment for the algorithm!

IPS-N heard there was a pirate issue and immediately just went "Alright, send an exterminator."

Oh I can't wait for deep dives into all the mechs I live for this sort of content

You got only one thing wrong: SEKHMET can't attack with ranged weapons or make tech attacks, but it isn't forced to only attack with melee weapons, they just have priority: if there is an adjacent target but not available melee weapons, it can grapple, ram, or make an improvised attack. Also, SEKHMET is not forbidden from activating systems: if it has already moved and boosted, and there are no characters within threat, but there is still an action available, the rules do not prevent it from, say, throwing a grenade, because it doesn't count as an attack and so isn't a ranged attack.

Please playlist this. I've been listening almost non stop and reading all the books to get a game going

God bless you Zak

After the video i can only see blackbeard as doom guy but with only the chainsaw and grample

Hell Yeah, Its Blackbeard Time!

Me, a responsible Lancer: "We will attack the pirates and only the pirates, and give quarter when requested" Also me, a Lancer with a booboo: "SEKHMET TAKE THE WHEEL"

> Be me > LL 5 > unlock LL2 for the Morningstar >idea.jpg > Put the Sekhmet NHP on it for those sweet melee bonuses. > Later in combat NHP has control, I die. > NHP tries to teleport to friendly next turn >Rolls all 4s Now it’s somewhere out there and I accidentally caused a planet wide issue. Upside is that I am dead and can’t face any character consequences for it.

I started watching with your Spell a day series. I enjoy your turn to Lancer content, it's a system I had a mild interest in but never really saw anyone talk about. I'm definitely going to try and get my dnd group to run it.

I really wanna put Sekhmet into a Manticore now while I play a violent frothing zealot character

Oh boy more mech coverage. Can't wait to see you cover my boi Atlas.

The Blackbeard is one of the chassis' that drew me to Lancer, and it does not disappoint. Thanks for the video lad

the mental image of a sekhmet nhp that was installed on to a sniping focused mech and figured out the methods would be kinda funny. you press a button and the mech starts going fucking crazy with reload speed on a giant long range rifle

Also the Empakaai alt frame is even more wacky with a massive hand that may cook you alive but damn it’s good at grabbing and crushing things.

Friend of mine learned the hard way not to combo Blackthumb and Sekhmet

Clicked a link on Reddit. Glad I did.

Throw the cable winch system (IPS-N Lancaster LL1 system) on a Blackbeard loaded with Sekhmet and you can essentially leash your melee happy eldritch ai to your enemy of choice. Plus more spiderman climbing capabilities.

I think I'm becoming a IPS-N enjoyer

Yar har, fiddle-dee-dee, If I win the grapple, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME

Loved it man. Keep up the great content.

Blackbeard being the very first in the book is still pretty funny to me. Hey, you are new to Lancer and want to look at the mechs? Here's the MURDERMACHINE incarnate

I love that the sound of the rock being dropped in the exposed reactor started playing Land Down Under

Very cool. Lots of useful information that similar good videos don't give in the same way.

Absolutely love your content; came for the Lancer and stayed for your other shenanigans. I love the License Video concept and cannot wait to see more from you!

Your videos are actually super entertaining and high quality good job dude

God I cant wait to see Empakaii vid if it ever comes out. Cus its just Blackbeards bro who spent too long alone.

Hey i love this new type of videos, this will be great to introduce the mechs to my group of friends who have no idea of what lancer is, thank you so much >:)

Can't have a pirate problem, if there are no pirates. Seems reasonable.

Very excited for more licence vids

Your videos are very fun and informative. I’ve just been getting into lancer and these help a ton!

I'm just here for the Lancer info in a funny format. And it's brilliantly hilarious and informative.

Sooooooooooo..... Activate Sekmet, eject, let your murderbot go rampant while you sit back and watch... Uuuuntill your pilot is the only thing in sensor range

After looking the Blackbeard over, I wonder if the deign team were pirates themselves. You have a CQB focused naval chassis - good for boarding , increased strength - good for carrying loot in a smash and grab - A grapple for getting to loot - and stealing chassis pilot and all. And finnaly with a NHP system that benefits from being reckless and out numbered as you want to be away from friendlies when you unleash the murderous paracasual pirate-catgirl - like pirates often are. Seems like either they researched pirates heavily and tried to out piratethe pirates or just hired some. Also I know what my next pilot would be.

Now I want to put a Sekhmet in a Balor and see what it can REALLY DO

Sekmet: For when you start thinking ISP-N is the docile faction. Thanks for the video

2:51 YOU DIDN’T- (I love this channel)

LOVE THE EVEREST STAT COMPARISON, Getting a feel for the numbers and whats a lot and whats not when getting into a system is hard, this will be very handy to new players :D

I do not know what this is. I have never seen this channel before. I have not watched even a minute of the video. But I saw the word Blackbeard and a badass pirate mech so I'm on board captain. Edit: Holy shit its a Khornate mech privateer with ODM, this is the greatest thing humanity has ever conceived.

Considering that you pointed me towards Lancer, I wouldn’t mind if between episodes like these if you did episodes roleplaying cascades for particular factions (like one episode you give ideas for ISP-N cascades while another is about Anderson cascades)

oh id be very excited to see more license videos like this :-)

now i cant get the image of a completely out of control blackbeard elbow dropping a deaths head out of my head

*eagerly awaits the eventual Balor video, as a Technothumbing Balor Pilot* nvn

2:51 YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME, I CAUGHT YOUR Men At Work - Down Under YOU CHEEKY- for real though, awesome video and coverage, i never knew how interesting Lancer was till now!

I don't really have anything to say so great vid love it keep it up.

man is gonna have my makin a new build after every video

This hit I fw you heavy

Blackbeard my Beloved
