The Raven RepublicOriginal content by members of the Raven Republic
Much like the mythical creature from where it takes its name, the Multi-missile pack is one weapon most people dread. While it doesn’t have the phenomenal stopping power of the other back mounts, the Hydra’s strength lies in its surprise – four missiles erupting from the main body to engulf the enemy, and cut off their attempts at escape.
Size doesn’t matter in the world of AC, especially when you’re talking about the WA Finger. A placeholder for one of the series’ most broken weapons, the Finger finds an unexpected ancestor in a weapon that helped shape the British Empire.
Barely the size of an AC’s fist, the WA Finger machine gun is nonetheless one of the most hated weapons to ever grace Armored Core. While the Karasawa terrorized with staggering single-shot firepower, the Finger dealt fear with sheer, overwhelming numbers.
One thing we enjoy about Armored Core are the parts, and how closely some they remind us of an existing analog in the real world.
For this post, we’ll be talking about anti-missile defenses – those wondrous little extensions that are oftentimes the only thing standing between you and an abrupt, fiery demise. The fact that they were so KISS-convenient to use was what made them rock – so long as you kept your AC pointed in the direction of your enemy, your little friends did the rest. So convenient in fact, that you’re probably wondering whether such a system is too good to be true.
Seasons Greetings from our very own RR cover girl Sophie, carefully drawn by our resident artist Trace. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all you guys!

Forum member J.E. Magog was busy creating these model images using an SLR camera, light painting, and a lot of creativity. The resulting images are nothing short of awesome.
Whassat? More Sophie? Granted! RR covergirl Sophie Emilia dresses in a bunny costume in celebration of the new ARSH head part for Silent Line portable. For now, you get a cute colored pic. Bunny costume after the jump.
RR covergirl Sophie Emilia has been given a new illustration by the talented hands of Trace, which only serves to delight everyone. Currently a work in progress, this picture is soon intended to grace the background of Raven Republic soon enough. A second picture after the jump which is a preview of an upcoming comic tentatively titled “Conversations with an A.I. AC”
Don’t let your hard drive die on you! Forum member Cabs has recently shared a small secret to making silent PCs. The method reduces vibration by attaching “shock absorbers” in the form of garter bands to the hard drive case. This method will also make your PC’s hard drive last longer, as it lessens vibration, making it less likely for the hard disk head to be misaligned and killing your hard drive.
