Over the past week or so Refuges from Light City and exiles from the Parish have been coming to you for protection and work.

Your population has increased.

Onto pressing issues like armor and robotics.

Okay you have enough power armor for maybe a squad of troopers, and its all prototype stuff. It offers overall better protection than riot armor and gives you a major strength upgrade. Also it includes waste recycling systems and rebreathers as well as a basic HUD system.

If you want to produce enough to make it standard issue you're gonna need to do a lot of research on making the production of power armor more efficient.

Also you have Gun Rovers and WreckingRovers. Gover rovers, with a little modification could mount heavier weapons than say, assault rifles and Shotguns.

WreckingRovers could easily become AI piloted tanks with some research (they're designed to be modular, but you don't have any military oriented equipment for them.)

Oh, and you still have that damaged Majesty Helo.

research better armor quality. This will boost our power armor's effictiveness AND it will still affect our already predeveloped armor.

>>21533265
How sneaky are our genetically enhanced agility guys?

Is it possible to use two of the same gene modification on a person to make it twice as effective?

>>21533265
If we give the power armour to our troops with Anti-Material rifles, would they be able to fire them without going prone?

Those guns are pretty much the only chance they have of taking out the enclave troopers, and allowing them to fire their guns easier should help.

>>21533313
pretty sure genetic engineering doesn't work like that, dude.

>>21533366
Come on, this isn't similar enough to Fallout to call them enclave.

>>21533374
If it doesn't then why can we use two of the genetic modifications insted of all three?

>>21533313
No each gene mod boosts a person's physical abilities to their biological max, Red for strength and physical endurance, blue for toughness against disease, poison and radiation, and yellow for agility and other such things.

However it is not outside of your means to develop better stealth technlogy.

Would take you awhile.

oh and.

D: Improving and mass producing Power Armour, we want our troops better protected ASAP, since our original members like are the best educated and trained, we want to keep them alive at all costs.

We should also look into seeing if any of the Power Armour tech can be used on the rovers.

>>21533366
oh and I forgot to answer the stealth question... The agility guys are like, climb up the side of a 100 story building without mechanical aid, agile. It makes them excellent stealth troopers but its not much good against thermal imaging tech.

Yes the power armor would allow you to fire crownbreakers without going pron, the Orange Troopers can do it without going prone and they're about on equal terms with a human in your KingSlayer suits when it comes to strength.

Oh and the Majesty suits are chess themed in their design elements. They all have a small crown emblazoned on their chests and helmets though.

>>21533390
Your using medically controlled mutation to modify people.

Note that word, MUTATION. Mutations happen in people all the time, its called cancer. The guys down at Darwin biological Research Laboratories are using very carefully controlled processes to cause a series of positive mutations in a clinical environment.

awwww shit son! it's Fabrique Generale TIME!

>>21533578
Wouldn't that be the second roll, because EMP weapons is totally diffrent from Power Armour, Tech-Wise?

>>21533478
Your Gunrovers are quite literally a fuel tank, an engine, a computer, six cameras, some microphones, a speaker, a radio, and a gun.

Your Wrecking rovers have a very large fuel tank, a computer, a radio, a very large cargo bay, some cameras, and loads of modular construction equipment.

Aside from manipulators for loading say, an RPG there's not much crossover (and you already have some designs for gunrovers that use RPGs you just need to modify your production facilities for that)

You could make a heavy GunRover that could mount a CrownBreaker or some other kind heavy weapon, your current model would fall apart from the stress if you tried that.

Lets improve our amour quality, then we increase production. Also what colors should we have on them? I was thinking about putting "arma absolvo virtus" written on it, seems fitting enough?

>>21533578
3 rolls for each subject. EMP is different from armor production.

You don't know what powers Majesty weaponry but APCs, Helicopters, and Power Armor all have incendiary self destruct devices and always leave behind a radioactive hulk of scrap metal when they're destroyed.

Cursory designs of the captured helo tell you that EMP weapons will trigger that self destruct.

'directional' emps would be better

captur agrees with me : considerably

>>21533695
Well fine, I'd like to not that the vehicles go off with the force of a bombshell and release radioactive waste into the environement.

I mean the asteroid modified the earth's orbit a little so the US is now tropical from coast to coast but lethal radioactivity is not what you'd common place.

Oh, and like half your forces are robots, sp there's that too.


Anyway what's our consensus better armor production or EMp weapons?

I say, old boy, we need to look into making better Crownbreakers. Those Majesty chaps can't keep fighting when they have a slug in their noggins.

>>21533433
>>21533600
All the power armor the Majesty have is EMP shielded.

>>21533732
I'm going to vote for armor production, we need a way of cleaning up radiation before we use EMP's to reduce these crown jerks to slag.

Rolled 1

>>21533766
But not their vehicles, and those are the ones we have a hard time defeating right now.

>>21533788
I'll just stop rolling for today.

>>21533787
Possibly some type of trade/RnD cooperative project with the Men in white.

>>21533797
Does anybody else like that idea? Combining some R&D forces with the DBRL(?) to create some way of cleaning Radioactive contamination?

Well we have a 92 for armor, and that is deliriously good. It would solve a lot of problems with your production.

Anything lesse than a 50 would've meant that you'd have to roll again, and 60 up to 80 would've meant that you'd figured out how to make riot armor standard gear.

This lets you produce standard vesions of the prototype armor (which use a combination of antiballistics cloth and cermaic along with some steel plating) on a scale that turns them into elite armor...

You'd still need to research armor for any brawler gene type mods... and you'd have to research stuff like night vision if you wanted subsystem improvements but some of that will carry over into your standard gear. (Like nightvision goggles.)

Oh, and the only way up for crownbreakers from here is full auto crownbreakers, only really useful for specialized power armor and brawlers in power armor, and maybe as mounted weapons for defenses or vehicles.

>>21533787
I say we should focus on Crownbreakers rather than EMP tech, since we could make Crownbreaker Rovers.
I'd also like a to see about a rover that has twin-linked grenade launchers to clear out crowds of enemies.

>>21533788
the vehicles are EMP shielded too. That's how you figured it out the Helo is EMP shielded and there are fragments of the EMP shielding in the ruined armor you have.

>>21533870
you can do that. So far you just have normal frag grenades and RPG launchers, so you'll have to research a China Lake style grenade launcher or something if you want a revolver or magazine fed grenade launcher.

Oh and GrenadeRover would be a heavy rover (research that and I'll let you autoproduce RegicideRovers)


okay gimme a moment and I'll write up your Armor production deal.

>>21533843
OP already told us to wait a year to make a merger with them, I think we have done a pretty good job making them happy about our alliance.

Meanwhile the cooperative operation to clear out radiation sounds good.

>>21533871
Am I correct in saying that shielded does not equal invulnerable?

Rolled 42

>>21533930
Yes but the point of least resistance is where we want to go, to other wise is just wasteful.

Rolled 38

>>21533930
In theory, yes. In practice, no. Shielding is going to be good enough for anything we can cook up for a good while. I'd also note it's arguably nore dangerous to us and with no real benefits due to the self destructs.

>>21533947
but emp could be used for other enemies as well, not just the Majesty troopers. it also doesn't account for assaulting their base eventually. They can't emp shield everything, and shielding of that type works both ways, say we build sometype of penetrating ballistic rpg-emp that penetrates armor and releases a emp blast. the shielding that protected them would contain the emp within and fry them.

>>21533979
as well as they might have their complex shielded but i cant even begin to imagine the cost of shielding every room, set one off inside and watch the pretty lights.

You put your engineering and R&D division to work of desiging a better production process for your armor, after all your competitors down at DBRL use Riot armor as standard issue, you've been reserving it for your elite units. It kind of makes you look bad.

With this in mind Augustus White, on of your up and coming researchers discovered a chemical process to produce several kinds AntiBallistics Polymers that can be used to produce cloth and ceramic armor. This innovation has allowed you to produce more fullbody suits of bullet resistant armor than ever before.

White has been given a raise and Antiballistic vests are being phased out of your security forces.

Osamu Okada, Jonathan Bragg, and Luke Green have also outdone themselves. One of the main issues with PROJECT KINGSLAYER was that the armor's digital side was extremely complex and that each suit of armor required a week to acclimate itself to the thought processes and nervous system of its user.

continued.

>>21533979
Dude, if we have a RPG that penetrates armour, we won't need EMP.

>>21534027
but but pretty radioactive explosions....

>>21534033
But 'hey let's spend that effort researching better armour tech to reduce the chance of our men dying'

>>21534005
They've even managed to phase out the cumbersome interface suits. A power armor user now need only wear a pair of bracers, shin guards, and a circlet to interface with the armor's control system. (static electrocution complaint has also been dealt with. Use of the armor without the control assitance devices is still possible but there's some control lag and ther've been reports of bruising caused by the skin contact sensors. R&D tells us they're working on it.)

Riot Armor is now standard issue.

Your unnamed power armor is now used by elite units.

Copy pasta, incoming.

You have enough resources for one large project.

The Majesty have landed a pair of APCs in former ViceLord Territory and they have a gunship circling the area. They are grabbing everyone they can find, with an emphasis on adults on teenagers.

continued.

They appear to be seperating anyone under the age of ten from older individuals. You tower lookouts report that The Majesty Troopers have shot no less than 25 children in an attempt to earn the compliance of their older siblings. Particularly uncooperative adults are cuffed with plastic ties and kept restrained in make shift pens.

Helos arrive every hour and pick up civilians in groups of 30 or so. They've been at this since 4:00 AM.

>>21534145
Can't we use our AA guns to take them down?

Or atleast start moving our snipers to take out the pilots while the helicopters are down, would that trigger the self destruction mechanism?

>>21534106
I think that for this week we should focus on ripping down that Majesty helo and getting everything we can out of it.

>>21533979
I would like to pouint out that these people value their technological secrets so much that they have built a radioactive bomb into every single piece of technology they produce (barring the guns anyway, but aside from the lasers they don't have anything special)

What do you think that kind of dedication to secrecy tells you about their base defenses?

>>21534145
Air control, they rely on their Helos alot, how about we improve our AA guns, maybe making them more like supped up Crown breakers?
If we can already get them, then lets just shoot down their air.

>>21534170
How good are Crownbreakers against vehicles?
If it has a reasonable chance of working, have a small group with crownbreakers go and simultainiously disable their vehicles, then retreat across a prepared killzone.

Anyone following them gets their shit wrecked and makes transporting anyone a pain in the ass.

Get some revenge for them trying to mess with the Parish and all.

(Also I want to look into using improved Crownbreakers for the rovers, and look into some tank design)

>>21534196
Oh, I thought that they used small nuclear reactors as energy source on their suits.

>>21534196
Tells me to shell from a distance with EMP enabled payloads.

>>21534257
that appears to be the case, you do know just by looking that the Helo has a tiny nuclear reactor, you don't know, however how it ties into the Self Destruct because you haven't torn the helo apart.

I would like to note, however that you can do several things at once when it comes to designing technology.

>>21534246
They're AntiTank rifles what do you think?

In all seriousness they can kill tanks and other vehicles but only by hitting something vital.

Your RPGs only kill Power Armor dudes and APCs by using concentrated fire or an AP round. So yeah, you can take these guys, but expect casualties.

>>21534280
I we find their veicle storage, hit that hard enough creating chain reaction, finishing them will be alot easier. But lets try capturing one of everything first, why waste good efforts?

does anybody else feel like we need to make some SAM and Anti Tank Missiles? We could shut down Majesty movements if had those.
Anyways we need to shut down their kidnapping attempt ASAP.

>>21534440
I feel that we should research the copter, prersue a joint venture with our new medically inclined allies to find a way to clean up radioactivity, and improve our gunrovers to heavy gunrovers. Also China Lake.

>>21534399
>>21534440
okay A: you have a very good roll for tearing apart the helo and discovering stuff.

B: you'll need to research actual missile launchers, but SAM missiles are a possibility.

Oh and C: The Majesty have been sending in helicopters in groups of 4, 3 to take on hostages, research subjects, whatever they're doing, 1 to relieve the patrolling copter.

Oh and combat actions are seperate from research actions so you can attack and research something.

Resource gathering takes a lot of manpower though so that's not seperate from combat actions.

>>21534291
Anti-Tank Rifles can't take out modern tanks, also the heli was disabled due to a lucky shot (cockpit hit IIRC)

If we can snipe the Heli enough for the self-destruct to go off, we can wipe out Majesty's entire force in one swoop, albiet at significant casualties to the prisoners.

However I would like to ambush a copter that's coming in for a patrol change, leave them low on resources with their current copter, potentially better to grab in one piece. As well as we should try to net those prisoners.

>>21534546
you've been facing APCs not tanks so far. big difference.

But yeah, you're gonna need something else if the Majesty brings tanks to the fight.

The APCs are bassically these big 12 ton monsters with a HMG mounted on top, meant more for moving troops than fighting, same with the helos, big cargo chpters modified for fighting.

So that 90 gives you something good on the Helo.

onto The Majesty, are we attacking them? If so, roll for it, and give men battle plans.

They're combing the ruins for people, taking adults and teens, leaving anyone under the age of ten behind. every hour 4 helos come in and take someone off. What do?

Rolled 3

kill teams will be dispatched they are to focus on the helicoptors. After firing either destroying or crippling they are then to retreat by this time their ground forces have most likely mobilized. Our power armored troops are to concentrate on hit and run tactics. While being covered by sniper fire. We are gonna have to aim at dividing their forces luring them in different directions while continiously sniping them off. .Eventually they will retreat to a randevous area. Our primary forces are not to engage. Snipers however are free to snipe to their hearts content.

Engineering and R&D tear apart the Majesty helo, its an enormous 15 ton monster powered by a tiny nuclear generator. It has enough fuel to run for the next 50 years, so powering the Helo isn't a concern.

It's computers are totally ruined and aside from the fact that thermite incendiaries are set off and the reactor goes critical you don't know precisely what triggers the self destruct. (The effect isn't all that different from a dirty bomb, just has more fire in it that explosive power.)

You know it made use of a nose mounted gatling gun and it also made use of some manner of missile system. The gatling gun was destroyed during the fire fight at the parish and the missiles were destroyed by enemy fire when it was being hauled to the tower, you have managed to pick up some targeting data from the weapons systems remnants though so that will help with future targeting system projects.

continued.

>>21534986
The Net result of this is that you've completely repaired the Majesty Helo, its Nuclear Generator means you won't have to refuel it for the forseeable future but it has no weapons. It can haul several tons of frieght and serve as a transport for 12 people plus the pilots.

You also have the design basis for your own helicopters now, instead of using nuclear generators they'll use Geddonite batteries but they'll essentially be copies of the Majesty helo, cargo haulers and troop carriers. You'll need to do some research if you want dedicated gunships, also you're beginning to run out of battery suitable geddonite so you'll want to work on that before you get a geddonite vehicle project ready.

No, you can't use the helo this week.

>>21534986
Yay, let's improve our robot's AI with the targeting systems.

Operation: Avenging Angel

Power Armor Equipped Kill Teams were dispatched to the target site late afternoon, they were supported by troops using the standard Riot Armor and all soldiers present had at least one heavy weapons specialist making use of a Crown Breaker or RPG Launcher. Gene Modded Teams were also present, Green Eyes troopers were using power armor, Orange Eyes were unable to use power armor due to their non standard anatomy.

As was planned the kill teams engaged during the attempted transport of Light City tribals and combat became extremely heavy, the Majesty Helos proved particularly troublesome and we were unable to destroy any, however we were able to force them to retreat after concentrated fire from RPGs and Crown Breakers.

The APCs proved equally problematic but refused to retreat. AP shells from the RPGs destroyed one and a few expert shots from Daniel Pym triggered the Other APC's self destruct after destroying the Power Plant.

continued.

The Majesty Power Armor troops were packing the usual mix of Heavy Machine guns and Light Machine guns, these proved ineffective against the recently developed power armor, but resulted in casualties among the troops equipped with standard issue Riot Armor.

They were also making use of Laser Weapons and these proved effective against our Power Armored Infantry, 3 men are have been sent to DBRL and we have been informed that 70% of their skin and 20% of their muscular structure will have to be replaced.

As per usual Self Destruct devices triggered up the deaths of enemy troops and the destruction or disabling of vehicles.

10 men died during this operation, all were equipped with riot armor.

For Tommorow.

Okay making a heavy gun rover is worth one resource.

Making a targeting application is worth one resource and would apply to both robots and power armor since they both use the same OS.

Missile launcher, again same thing, one resource level project.

Making anti laser plating is one resource but you need a geddonite farm if you want that to be a viable long term project. (good on you to notive geddonite A's energy absorbtion properties.)

Note that if you want power armor to be a General infantry thing you gotta research better armor production.

How come we didn't get the micro-fission reactors by the way?

>>21535532
I feel special :D

Maybe we can speed things along by harvesting geddonite ala Command and Conquer style to get things started for a farm. Also any Farm is going to need to be somehow protected because those Majesty jerks probably would raid it.

>>21535550
We probably have no way of creating fissionable material.

>>21535550
I'm guessing that even with a working reactor on the heli, it's still going to require research to mass produce.

Even if we have a reactor, it's not one of those things you can immediately back engineer, it's going to be VERY helpful as an aid, but we're not magical industry fairies.

I think that if we upgraded our gun rovers to heavy gun rovers, and research missile launchers, we can have gun rovers that can take down those helicopters, and be generally more awesome

In addition I think we should go on a power resource gathering run / build more WreckitRalph...Rovers to get more resources in. We need to expand our operations methinks.

>>21535550
Geddonite farm is a good idea, would also need to be protected. Also geddonite isn't a mineral like tiberium, its a very basic silicon based life form so you'd need to grow a special strain of it to do a task that you want it to do. Potatoes can make liqour but I think we can all agree that booze made from grapes is more palatable. Same thing A and B geddonite are both useful for certain tasks so you have to grow more of it rather than harvest it since it doesn't appear to be a very common natural occurence.

>>21535589
yeah, you need nuke juice for nuclear generators. You have alien fungus crystals instead.

>>21535667
okay I'll do the tunnels thing just to get the tunnel people satisfied. AA rovers would be Super Heavy Rovers and more akin to WreckingRovers than GunRovers.

This guy is right.

Okay you explore the tunnels, they're mostly maintanence tunnels left over from when the city had a stable vernment to tain it. They're cramped, filthy, and infested with mutated animals. Feasiibly socould use them for a sneak attack but the tunnels are using and labrynthine,Oh and there's lots of flooding.

You take the RPG research and develop a targeting device using some of the data from the Helo. From there you're able to produce targeting modules for your RPG and a dedicated SAM Launcher that has a 4 missile magazine. Comes with AP and HE variations.

Your gear up your geddonite battery production facilities to maximum output, along with that you modify your armor production facilities so that the control systems of your power armor are much easier to produce. In the end you're finally able to phase out riot armor and give each man and woman of your security forces their very own suit of powered armor. (brawler mods still need their own special variant though.)

And I also just rememberd the AntiRad General project, how about that?

>>21536401
Yup.

Seeing as how geddonite is so important to your operations several floors of the tower are didcated to it. Samples of Geddonite A and Geddonite B are put into carefully controlled environments and a combination of UV radiation and electrical energy proves to be particularly effective at providing Geddonite the energy it needs to grow. The crystals are kept in puddles 3 inches deep and periodically fed silicon, plastic, metal, or stone dust. The solid material mixed with water proves to be effective when it comes to acting as sustenance for Geddonite reproduction. (basically you figured out the right mixture of energy and solid matter that geddonite needs to grow)

Sadly you didn't dedicate enough resources to the team in question an all they have is an experimental research farm, you do however w how to make a larger, much more effective project now.

Well Im all for that, let's get us sum TIberium lads!

>>21536786
You can start the Research project or you can finish your geddonite farm so that you can do more stuff with geddonite.

oh and geddonite is not Tiberium, your people grow it in tanks in their freetime 'cause it comes in all the colors of the rainbow and glows in the dark.

I'll write up the geddonite farm now.

With Geddonite Farming properly researched you're able to take the methods pioneered by R&D and put them to good use. Within the week several levels of the tower are converted into geddonite farms and you're soon capable of supporting more machinery that runs on the strange, alien lifeform.

Oh, and for the record Geddonite batteries, until damage, recharge themselves. They have a special cutoff circuit that measures how much power is in the unit, once the power level drops low enough it cuts off power drain. Can take days for a cell to recharge. You don't know the shelf life of the batteries though 'cause no one nows much of anything about geddonite.

>>21536755
>>21536751
>>21536783
>>21536803
>>21536831
>>21536903
Alright, I think we're putting the cart before the horse. We need stable power generation or all the geddonite batteries will simply create a bottleneck in terms of recharge.

The easiest way we have of supplementing and exceeding our present power generation levels without too much fabrication is by creating a heat exchanger in the service core of our tower. It's five hundred stories high, which is well over three times the height of the tallest RL building - it will be over a mile tall. As such, the temperature differences between the external environment at its top and bottom, not to mention the inside and outside at the top, should produce significant energy gains without destabilizing much of anything.

After that, we should probably create a geddonite farm in our subterranean levels. The stuff is so vital that we can't possibly have it put at risk if the tower gets nuked and falls over, so underground would be best. That's where our manufacturing centers are anyhow.

>>21536971
Days to recharge? Shit, we're going to need a LOT more energy to keep our troops laser and high energy penetrator round proof. Electromagnetic reactive armor takes energy.

Tiberium inferior, elerium superior.

Reposting some useful stuff from the old thread. Suggestions and comments solicited.

Some plans of future weapons systems:

For the moment I was mostly thinking about ground and air systems as follows:

Ground forces:

Power armor (barely out of prototype phase) - a powered exoskeleton that uses electrodes, sensors, and motion detection/response systems (like for RL bionic limbs and powered exoskeletons like the one being developed by Raytheon/SARCOS) to detect the user's thoughts and motions and move in concert with enhanced strength. This will give our troops increased strength and self sufficiency and very good defense. As such, we'll be able to minimize loss of life to a great extent.

Walk-capable tanks (unresearched) - The tank is the king of the open plain, but we're inside a 250-mile-wide radius of wreckage and other cities could be similar ruins. We'll need to develop a suspension that is capable of raising the tank from the ground enough to get over obstacles, but not enough to make it an easily visible target - probably something with six legs. However, regardless of the utility of such suspensions they would likely be slower and less efficient than rolling caterpillar suspension systems; as such we should give it the ability to lower itself back onto treads.

Mechanical walkers (unresearched) - Tanks are great, but operating them requires a crew of several individuals with significant training. If we scale up the power armor concept, we can keep the motion and thought detection systems it uses to create a middleweight option, halfway betwen a power-armored infantryman and a 'mech. It would be capable of hauling around smaller weapons and be pretty short to avoid having a profile that would get it spotted and rapidly targeted (no more than two stories tall, preferably about as tall as a tank), but would be much easier to control for one person.

>>21537037

Aerial forces:

Gun drone - small, potentially disposeable, close to man-sized weapons platform easy t mass produce. Carries a couple of SMGs to start, can be upgraded to whatever's necessary. Can run on biodiesel. Preferably able to hover and operate a visual link (cell phone cameras for still photos all the way up to a proper video feed) or mount a sensor suite. These would be much easier to, for example, maneuver into tight spaces in an urban ruin - and would be an acceptable loss where a heavier vehicle would not. Helicopters are expensive.

Attack helicopter - Think of your standard helicopter gunship or the Jigabachis from Ghost in the Shell. The capacity to hover is pretty damn useful when you're shooting things rather than carpet-bombing them, and the ability to automate movement would be helpful if the crew all got killed.

Tiltrotor aircraft: Think of the cargo Vertibirds from the first Fallout games or of the Boeing Osprey. These have vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, can carry thirty-some troops or tow ten tons of cargo (sevenish tons on an external hook with the bay empty, so they can tow vehicles), and can carry armament. very good when you want to land in a small space or move people around.

FUCK A TORNADO! Stick a bunch of our guys in a truck and get them to launch a scientist in power armor into it to study it from the inside!

File: 1352674569417.jpg-(23 KB, 500x354, 89eab852eaf0ec53dec020c69(...).jpg)

>>21537049
For when we get around to tanks:

The foremost idea is a power transmission assembly that allows energy from the motor to be transmitted to one of the tank's multiple locomotive systems. This means that power can be sent where necessary without much in the way of an efficiency loss, allowing these massive redundancies in the way of extra movement systems. These will in effect render our tanks nigh-unstoppable unless they are literally blown into pieces - you can chuck shaped charges at the movement systems all day before they finally have to stop for repairs.

Pic related features a conventional tread suspension with interrupted treads. This is desirable, especially if the treads can move up and down slightly, as it will give the tank greater maneuverability and traction (think four wheel drive) and the potential to keep moving should one tread fail so long as the failed tread is not immobilized - as well as the ability to adjust to minor differences in elevation. This system will be the most energy-efficient due to its low ground pressure, as it spreads the weight of the tank over the widest area.

Continued below.

>>21536995
YEs it does, higher capacity batteries or rapid recharge are both good research ideas if you want ultra hightech stuff.

Oh, and your geddonite farms are in the sub levels. Gettin' crowded down there....

>>21537055
This is a hilariously bad idea.

File: 1352674602419.jpg-(209 KB, 800x533, 23f524f5775765bc02a156e47(...).jpg)

>>21537070
Above the treads, we can install an armored six-leg walking suspension akin to pic related, preferably one that can fold together when not in use and simply be another layer of armor. This adds yet more redundancy and grants the tank the ability to step over the aforementioned obstacles, climb slopes, navigate ditches and trenches without a bridge, etc.

Rolled 34

>>21537006
You know what? Let's take that big old helicopter out for a drive and map out any useful things around the city. Keep it fast and low-ish to minimise any trouble.

File: 1352674636645.jpg-(393 KB, 1600x1067, walking_tank_by_Spinner_Vision.jpg)

>>21537086
Given the slower walking pace the tank would likely achieve on its legs, a third redundancy in the form of wheeled emplacements on the ends of the legs would not be unwise. These would be purely secondary, but faster than walking should the caterpillar treads fail (which is likely, given that it's how tanks are generally disabled). This system will spread the weight of the tank over less room than its treads and be less energy efficient, but will be a faster backup than the walking system.

>>21537090
I wouldn't do that until we have air superiority. Research aerial drones for this, they're disposable.

Equity I say we do some more research on this then scale it up to MWalker tech. Then use our howitzer plans we got from the men in white to give it some high yield ballistics.

HOWEVER If we want to increase the rate at which we do things we really should get more resource gatherer's going.

Are the possibilities of elerium limitless?

You can just slot the resource unit away for the Research project, no rolling required.

Please note that your helo is unarmed and possesses only a very basic operating system.

Not that we should skimp on armor, but its not like we have many large scale weapons to mount on the things yet to justify the large scale of such a tank.
Pic related, think it should be more our goal.

Would it be a good idea to share some of the geddonite research with D.B.R.L. , they might figure out better fertilizer or something. Or suggest them a joint hydroponics farm outside the tower as part of junkie rehab program, something like F.G. brings the parts,you bring the tomatoes, population is increasing and the rehab will have something to do. Setting up lathe workshops for them might also be beneficial.

Some thoughts on power armor:

Aside from a series of fun and obvious upgrades, we badly need laser-proofing and protection from rifles like Crownbreakers, if for no reason other than friendly fire kill prevention.

To this effect, we need to create armor layers that are:

-impact resistant, meaning having great impact strength; this means the armor will be able to stop high-momentum objects like crownbreaker rounds...and crownbreaker rounds aren't likely to be the biggest of their kind. Current strength is conceivably not anywhere near achievable maximum.

-tough, meaning elastic and having great tensile strength. Toughness allows the armor to stretch before breaking.

-temperature and chemical nonreactive, meaning layers within the armor will provide proof against high or low temperatures as well as providing NBC seals and acid/base protection.

-reactive. A reactive armor system can include the use of electrical components that vaporize an incoming round immediately upon impact. All but relativistic-speed railgun/gauss effect projectiles would be neutralized.

-laserproof. This one's pretty tough, but with the right materials a laser would just melt out a patch of ablative layering that would immediately aerosolize; were it made from the right materials, the aerosol spray/laser ablations would be highly reflective as a particulate and would scatter and diffuse the laser beam, neutralizing it.

-camoflage-capable. Given the shifting nature of the environment, active camo would be good; this will require redundant, transparent, micro-thin LCDs.

I really want a cannon prototype but i think we need to focus on more resource production and gathering so we can do more than ONE THING PER TURN.

>-laserproof. This one's pretty tough, but with the right materials a laser would just melt out a patch of ablative layering that would immediately aerosolize; were it made from the right materials, the aerosol spray/laser ablations would be highly reflective as a particulate and would scatter and diffuse the laser beam, neutralizing it.

I suggested a mesh of conductive material connected to Geddonite crystals in the suit to absorb the laser blast's energies for use in something else.
Say return fire or maybe an overcharge condition?

>>21537324
Are you fucking kidding me? These people have micro-nukes on their own soldiers to keep their gear secret, have three-ton (if not three-kiloton) bomb equivalents doing the same for their helicopters, and have killed fifty parishoners just for being our associates. They raided the Darwinians' laboratories and let their experiments loose on the city because who the fuck cares. And they're just the ones we know about.

Paranoia has been our friend.

>>21537300
So riot shield with geddonite type B (The energy absorbing type) to block lasers? They can absorb lightning so I suppose it would be laser resistant.

Well considering that the power generator contained in the alien plasma rifles is more powerful and efficient than any form of power generation available to man at this point in time I would say yes. Dr. Vahlen tells you that with enough elerium mankind could completely shake it's dependence in fossil fuels within a decade.

>>21537360

Which why we must harness the power of the winds!
We can deny them the skies and heir precious helos!

Wind turbine for charging our geddonites, better still,not carbon blades but geddonite blades.

The freed animals were more of a side effect of kidnapping the best and brightest Darwinnian personel than a deliberate effort but yeah, nasty people.


So what are we doing? Feeding the Anti-Rad project, gathering resources, making a new WreckingRover? what?

Voting for WrekingRover

We need to be able to do more each turn

>>21537328
In order to achieve these goals, we need to focus on several areas of research. Thanks to our database having a copy of the Library of Congress and its archive, possibly including the patent records and biology-related publications, this should be an easy problem to solve:

Researching space-age materials (the stuff used by NASA to get us to the moon, etc), cribbing notes from spacesuits, and looking into later plastics will cover most of this.

-Impact resistance: Layers of high-performance polyethylene or ceramic, or preferably both, will allow our armored suits to take hits from high density penetration armor without piercing all the way through. However, the best impact-resistant materials are going to be brittle if used externally; as such they need to be layered under tougher materials to keep them from fracturing needlessly under repeated fire from normal small arms - all they do is stop Crownbreaker rounds dead.

Continued.

Tornado research damnit!

Piss off with your tornado research.
We have scientists, not wizards.

-Toughness: Although kevlar and steel aren't bad, we're going to need to step it up if we want to be able to have people take repeat shotgun blasts or live through a blind corner with a machine gun nest around it. As such, we will need to turn to the boys at Darwin for experimentation on the hardiest biological substance ever discovered, with 'over ten times' the toughness of normal kevlar and steel used in ballistic armor: the harvested silk of the (appropriately named) Darwin's bark spider. In nature, this orb-weaver spider uses the extreme high-performance of its webs to construct eighty-foot wide webs spanning rivers. It so happens that the Smithsonian institution, along with researchers in Europe and Puerto Rico, studied the webbing of this spider extensively. Combine this with the known methods of forcing a spider to give up its silk and the Darwinian's penchant for massively upscaling the size of animals, and we could have a silk farm. Orb weavers are already non-venomous, though softening their jaws to be more like those of a daddy long-legs would make things safer.

>>21537521
its going to take 6 turns at our current resource collecting abilities to finish this project.

>>21537491
Do we have the technology to create railguns?

>>21537553
put the project on hold, get the biotech guys to do this asap >>21537549

>>21537553
Also true. but this is resource is only for starting the project. If we start it does it mean that we are passively advancing it? If so then we might start it now.

If by starting it we don't do anything, it's just putting resource in it so we can invest more in it, then yes. Wrecking rovers would be a better choice.

I hope I was clear. Can you help me understand OP ?

People have made some good points about resources, lets put some work into better resource collection.
Lets build some more Wreckers.

Oh goody, a tornado.
I do believe we need to capture it and have some extra energy for more WRs and HGRs.

(OOC) www.livescience.com/7521-man-tornado-power-future.html
We can do this. Majesty better prepare to be...liquidated.

>>21537548

The scientists simply need to to create technology that will allow us to control the tornados. I realize that we cant do that immediately, which is why we need to take this oppurtunity to study the tornado. First step and all that.

Failing that, lets train us some wizards!

>>21537553
actually I'll cut you a break and say four and let you harvest 1/2 more materials due to the involvement of your workers.

Oh and its tithe week next turn.

-Temperature and chemical nonreactivity. Ceramic plating would have the benefit of this - the space-age materials science we could revive woul;d include ceramic heat-shielding like the ones used on the space shuttle. In addition to this, materials like mylar, nomex, dacron, and other space-age, advanced polymer, aramid, and allotrope materials. We'd just have to do some reverse engineering.

-Reactivity to incoming penetration rounds, shaped charges, etc. This can most easily be achieved by using layers of superconducting capacitors hooked up to a LOT of reserve power. When a penetrator or other material breaks through one layer, the paired layer of capacitors makes contact and releases enough electrical force to vaporize the projectile near-instantaneously. Our Geddonite strains have room-temperature superconducting and mass energy storage properties, so this is feasible.

-Laserproofing. Since the ideal range of laser light for military hardware is in the infrared, we will need to use layers of copper and copper-composites for our ablative/aerosolizing reflectors. More than one layer will be required for decent protection, but they can be pretty thin.

-Camoflage. For this, we use graphene and silicene, which are allotropes of graphite and silicone. Graphene is used in carbon nanotubes, but it can offer us a lot of applications for fun things like superconducting, transparent, micro-thin displays - like computerized paper, only super-strong. Silicine has applications in superconducting as well, with the added benefit that it doesn't interact with hydrogen.

>>21537597
The project starts when you have enough resources to start it, but you get the results from it immedietly. -shrug-

I guess that means you want the wrecking rover.

>>21537709
Forgot my name.

>>21537709
For laserproofing we can use Geddonite, not only we nullify the threat but also we get energy in return

>>21537720
YES YES PLEASE PLEASE YES as many as we can get up to 6

>>21537720
I seem to have some support for asking the Darwinians to clone, enlarge, and forcibly silk the resulting giant Darwin's bark spiders for their extremely tough spider silk here: >>21537587

As such, cak we get on the radio and ask them what they'd want for such a project, given that it likely means access to better ballistic armor in and of itself? We could definitely give them crownbreakers.

>>21537610
>>21537638
No. no. oh and NO. there are no weather control machines and no wizards. shut up about the damned tornadoes. They are a force of destruction, not a weapon.

>>21537720
Yup. getting more wrecking rovers would be a long term investment.

>>21537790
Thank god.
Let's save the crazy-ass-shit for Ogre Quest.

>>21537790

Oh in that case then I simle suggest we start up a sensible and efficient response method for our people in case we ever get hit by a tornado.
Nothing major, just basic responses, like what to do, what to secure and where to seek shelter.
Like some fire drills, just for Tornados instead.

Did you just go full retard?

>>21537758
>>21537756
Okay you build a wrecking rover.

The Darwinnians do infact have several larger than normal orb spiders in their possesion, the creatures in question hav been modified for maximum passivity.

They would be happy to provide you with a series of machines that basically consist of a milker and a silk gland on life support. You could milk the fluid yourself and use your own mechanical spinarette to makespider silk.

Their price is three resource units. (would have cost you five but they likeit when you kick the majesty in the teeth.) oh and genemods now net you 10 mods per resource unit.

>>21537928
How about we give them our power armor research out of good will?

That will make them stronger by the time we merge.

>>21537928
We'll give them some power armor (the early models) if they can clone us Darwin's bark spiders specifically and provide the first shipment, etc. That should net us a large discount, I expect.
