Ships? Those are so last-century. If you are looking to upgrade your arsenal, why not purchase some satellite-mounted railguns from AACS? They are the ultimate in mass destruction.
i wonder how that's possible? Oh God this is making me as giddy as a schoolgirl.
Authoritaristan
It's only possible through our proprietary technology. It's our little secret...
Unfortunately, the engineers that developed the process have mysteriously disappeared.
Oh, well.
Uh...
It is a gun cruiser, armed with 152mm cannons, Oto Melara DARDO Guns, and anti ship missiles.
Come on man! You need to get on the getting edge of weaponry!
A gun cruiser?! Oh boy... That cruiser isn't going to do much good after a 10-pound uranium slug passes through it at the speed of sound. Our clients are armed with the latest in kinetic energy weapons and you should be do!
Magnatronia
One, RPs are modern tech only so no
And two I'm blocking you from using the Panama Canal so good luck with Atlantic to pacific trade
Expect more attacks later.
Magnatronia
It is modern tech!
Well, we will see about that....
Magnatronia
Agreed.
The role play tech is modern day. No Kill Sats.
There is no modern day technological equivalent to an orbital weapons platform
While the technology is technically feasible, it has never been designed nor implemented in any way shape or form in real life. So no, its not modern tech
What!? You are signing your death warrant! These products are already in use by your nation's enemies! You need to keep up or they will destroy you!
Actually it has been designed.
Ok, thank you for pointing that out.
Are you interested in buying a gold-plated UAV armed with hellfire missiles?
Yeah...I'm good.

More realistic,but needlessly flashy.

As if you have the resources and the ability to perform a second insurgency; After the first one we're scouring every nook and cranny in the heartland, alongside the fact that Latrovia has confirmed its Viper-hunting and Magnatronia is most likely fight back too due to your attempted infiltration.
We also now know what were up against, we were lulled into a false sense of security the last time because of your innactivity, now we know better.
And so do I.
By whom exactly? And there is a very big difference between design, manufacture, and implementation
lol we are just on two different wavelengths here
In 1929, the German physicist Hermann Oberth developed plans for a space station from which a 100 metre-wide concave mirror could be used to reflect sunlight onto a concentrated point on the earth.
Authoritaristan
Yes we sell that too.
We call it the Eye of Ra. It was used with great effect during the Magnatronian-Outer Oz conflict.
All I need is some modernized AK74s, T90s and those new Sukhoi T-50 Stealth Fighters and I'm golden
Authoritaristan
Have fun most likely being embargoed by the ITF, the USCS, and the UKL
Authoritaristan
I'm not gonna be supporting that embargo
Authoritaristan
Sold!
Lol we are a psychotic dictatorship. Embargo is our middle name.
Seriously, due to the Shah's Decree of 1998, everyone had to legally change their middle name to "Embargo."
Jaslandia, Continental Commonwealths
On a related note: damn I'm going all out with controversial sh!t aren't I?
Authoritaristan
Not at all! You are just a motivated nation who is determined to get what they want. Let us cheer you on! And equip you.
Audiastan
I think I just found my new favorite foreign nation, except peng, he's da best.
Jaslandia
Oh fer christ's sake.
1) [nation=short]kalaron[/nation] we need your expertise here!
2) So did the Soviets, but it was an OWP that fired nukes from space
But neither have ever been built nor implemented, it took 15 years to get the ISS up there, imagine doing it multiple times, while being embargoed, your space shuttles being shot out of the sky, and having to design completely new technologies to accomplish this feat.
So unless both of you have the necessary technology and resources to develop not only a space station with effective life support systems, but also a space-based weapon such as a ra-mirror(1) or a Railgun(2) that not only can fire from space and not send the station careening towards earth, but can also stand the effects of space such as intense vacuums, debris and concentrated radiation.
ALONGSIDE supplying its ammunition, and spare parts, because if you hadn't noticed, a non-energy platform has moving parts, and those are super sucky in space because they degrade really easily.
So, summed up, you need to have the tech to do all of that^^ and have the necessary resources to not only build a space station, build the weapon, and have a constant stream of resources being shot up there (which costs both more resources and money) to both maintain said weapon, station, and people living up there
ALL WHILE BEING EMBARGOED BY AT LEAST TWO OF THE MOST POWERFUL ALLIANCES ON OUR PLANET
I highly doubt it
Also,
1) railguns have yet to be fully developed, the most successful are by the United States and guess what, THEY HAVE YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE THEY'VE YET TO BE DEVELOPED FULLY
and 2)
Same goes with the space sunlight laser; total bull because the mirror would have to be the size of a freaking city to catch and reflect all that light.
You forget, you don't control the UKL, do you :P
Most of the world is going to be against both of you sooooooo yea no -_-
This turned into your perpetual motion machine design back when you first joined again didnt it -_-
Jaslandia
1. Maybe,
2.facking rant much?
Also you realize that I have every right to leave the UK.
Who needs rail guns when you have Kalashnikovs? Da?? DAAAA!
Oh and one last thing for the Ra-laser
A mirror that big would have to not only not randomly fire whenever it comes in contact with sunlight, but also have to be constantly replaced as its bombarded with spacial debris
No single nation on our planet in IRL has resources CLOSE to those required to maintain such a ludicrous weapons system; while being embargoed, while most likely being constantly sabotaged and your supply and building rockets to get all that sh!t up there are shot from the freaking sky or never make it off the ground because there is no amount of oil on earth that a single nation can access to send all of that up there -_-
IT's BULL dude.
And you'd be left economically devastated as you flip in and out of another nations currency, and alone, you wouldn't be able to break through the embargo by both or either the ITF and USCS
Kalaron! That hack!? He can't tell a tank from a submarine.
I apologize. I did not mean to to agitate you. I am completely aware of how ridiculous those technologies are.
I am really, really sorry you felt you had to take the time to write all that out.
Andromitus
Yes, I know
I'm all for nations having a weapons supplier other than Kalaron, especially a shady one like you;
But you should at least try to be relative with the facts; you'd most likely have the ITF against you, so trade and resources are tight, meaning you don't really have access to special equipment like Drones and hypersonic aircraft
Authoritaristan
heheheheehehehheehhehe AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kal your right; Splurging is awesome XD
Would you like to buy some nerve gas?
Or maybe an iron maiden or two?
In the interests of harmony, I restrict my mostly-comedic posts to existing illegal weaponry, instead of hypothetical illegal weaponry.
As you as you will admit that drones aren't "special equipment." Even ISIS uses it.
I'm not actually mad lol; but the intensity of the neglect of knowledge awakened a dangerous animal, one that would send any Viper running! You have witnessed, the flubberkin!
Ok but please be aware its all tongue in cheek
We don't use UK currency, since there are places to exchange currency.
Thank goodness Audiastan is the 9th largest arms manufacturer in the Confederacy amd can supply themselves mostly. This is all getting so heated 😂
Authoritaristan, Jaslandia
Not as hot as our hellfire missiles! Even the best-equipped military could use some of our custom-made high-yield warheads.
Yup lol :P
still, jumping in and out of alliances doesn't help your nations credibility, and like you posted on the CG-RP, if word gets out about your...current trading partners, your Sh!ts gon' hit dat fan BOI
The Flubberkin? That dosent sound dangerous, is sounds facking adoreable.
Hehehe, believe me, it already has.

Why would we be talking about fire trucks?

Someone's triggered.
Seems no one here like fire trucks. What a shame. :(
Percyton
I am a Firefighter? I like Firetrucks :D
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Yay !! I'm a volunteer fire fighter. I like fire trucks too. :)
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Audiastan, Percyton
My nation manufactures fire trucks. Except ours are designed to start fires, not stop them.

I was just confused on how random that statement was. But yeah, fire trucks are p cool.

I am on First Run Engine tonight. Only crappy thing about Firefighting in Iraq is your on shift 24/7 for 90 days straight then get 30 off haha
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
So I just woke up. A lot of people said really nice things. I hope I liked them all.
I love you all.
Also railguns are the coolest thing that has ever existed. I do keep up with them. What is currently preventing railguns from being used on Naval vessels are 3 basic things.
1. To have them be effective at killing things, that they would need to kill. They need to be big. There is limited space on Naval vessels.
2. This goes hand in hand with point 1. They require quite a bit of power, as in at this stage it would require an entire ships reactor, just to fire one.
3. Current designs produce massive amounts of heat when fired. This can not be gotten around. Its a by-product of running so much electricity through the rails. So once again going back to point one, your either going to have the let the system air cool after each and every shot with considerable downtime, or your going to have to find a way to incorporate a dedicated cooling apparatus, which goes right back to point one.
Sorry if Kal answered this first, but I can almost guarantee he will agree with me here.
Jaslandia, The Vidnoye, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Well, I'm on 24/7 stand by 365 days a year.

Jaslandia, Magnatronia
Hahaha well.. yeah is not easy to please every citizen in the nation.
Penguania And Antarctica
No need to do that. Just please your voter base. ;)
Penguania And Antarctica
Not wrong, but I feel that I am just here on the RMB to give an impulse to give a conversation a start and then being left out. Or in the Discord. I ask people about their days or how they are doing and in recent times they don't ask me back. That hurts me because that gives me the impression that nobody actually cares.
So currently I feel that I'm just the MoI who should just do his job, don't ask inconvenient question or do inconvenient things. More like a tiny little secretary doing all the paperwork for the others.
Percyton
Why so ?
That's fine, but there are more modern, faster and all around better designs to accomplish the job.
In order for that mirror to be capable of actually doing anything, it needs to be very large to catch the diffuse solar rays and direct it to a specific place.
This carries the problem of making a very large platform in an area full of space debris traveling at more than ten meters a second.
It wouldn't be impossible, but it's damned inefficient.
Railguns are going to have a bad time in space, you'll need to allow them to radiate heat which is going to damage their super-conductivity.
There are many...many problems.
Told you.
When an idea has massive holes, it's best to assess all flaws.
Your cruiser will be fine, outdated in missile guidance, but fine.
*nods*
Sorry you feel that way. Hope I haven't come across as leaving you out or ignoring you.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Im not that bad at RPing, I dunno about you bur I really enjoy it. It could be great for both of us but more importantly I will do my best to give you and myself the best possible RP with answers to every detail!
