Speaking of which, I have some news for you. After some initial difficulty, we managed to bring all three engines you sent us to life. Henry is currently taking the electric engine to the Peel Godred Branch Line to work with the other electric engines, while the two diesels will be double-heading a goods train from Tidmouth to Barrow. All three are eager to work, and I think they'll be Really Useful while they're here.

[Spoiler] I don't know if you know about this all, so I'm just gonna lay everything out on the table here and you'll have to forgive me if I seem out of my gourd because I got some four hours of sleep next to the best man in my life, last night and am sick like a dog RN.
Battleships, bar nothing, add no new capabilities to a navy at extraordinary cost and there is legitimately nothing that can be done to counteract this due to the fact that the armaments added to them are the same as those on-board other ships and the larger cannons that typecast a BB are frequently useless and nearly always worse than lower-caliber guided shells.
Their armaments are dated, too. The Iowa Class [16'', 50Cal] guns were only capable of reaching out to about 38 kilometers while the newest RIM-174A has a maximum range of 496 kilometers. This shows that the gun has a range thirteen times shorter than the missile and is also incapable of firing a guided munition unless one is specially made and that kind of project would likely exceed the cost of the missile as well. Such a limitation of the main guns would restrict them to shore bombardment alone, but if the purpose of the ship is solely to bombard the shore than a much cheaper ship could be constructed to serve as a gun platform before being dry-docked until it's next needed. Furthermore, smaller shells equipped with guidance systems would be both cheaper and more efficient due to the fact that you can pin-point each round with the guidance system and can simply pound any compound into dust unless it's so hardened as to fall into Bunker-Buster territory.
Battleships are very expensive but add very little compared to a Destroyer, then, and would be rather useless in any war unless they too were equipped with missiles and at that point they've added nothing new while being even more expensive.

With modern armaments, and technology, they could be a very useful tool in our navies.
Official release regarding Perland's leaked information:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=856976
Vista Major
How so?
Again, the gun is completely outdated in everything but shore-bombardment, and as the US navy has shown even then a smaller and more nimble ship that can just use guided shells of the 155mm caliber is preferable to a bulky target who needs to be duel equipped with both guns and missiles to not have a 13th the range of a destroyer in a fight.
Beyond that, what can the BB do that a Destroyer or Cruiser cant do with much more speed? There was a reason the Iowa's were retired after Regan tried to bring them back because "Muh 600 ship navy".
The United Providences Of Perland
Oh and it's only better because it's kinda cheaper than just peppering the area with missiles, but bombs are even better at it and come from a much more useful expense in the form of an Aircraft Carrier.
Essentially, you could lower the size of the BS's guns while replacing them with systems we have now, add in the modern computer systems of destroyers and cruisers, throw in a nuclear engine, and it could be fun. Granted, the US would never have use for them, but for this game it could be in the realm of possibility.
Listen friend. Just last night I was playing Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific. I sunk a King George V class Battleship with three torpedos, with absolutely no risk to myself. Battleships sound really cool, but with missiles, and torpedos, and the whole panoply of modern war, sadly all a Battlehship is, is a big slow target. The only way I see Battleships becoming relevant outside of a Space type category again is if you literally built a battleship around a railgun, and I mean you would still have to solve the heating and power issues.
Trust me, I am in love with the Navy. I actually wish we never would have developed missiles, and carriers and the like, because I want to see all those good ol girls make a comeback.
Kalaron, The United Providences Of Perland

Jaslandia, The United Providences Of Perland
Yeah sub's kill battleships, always will sigh. Sub's re they key to a modern navy.

So...you want to have minuscule guns on a massive hull (Anything over 155mm is an honest to god waste and requires the development of more guidance hardware)...use computer systems intended to provide guidance and information to missiles...and put a nuclear reactor into said massive hull to try to give it more sustainability?
Perl, you can do what you want with you're country since it isn't literally impossible, but at that point you have something literally worse than a BB or a Destroyer or a Cruiser that will die to either of the latter when spotted or pinged because it has an enormous hull-form and is unlikely to do the job of shore-bombardment any better than the latter two.

A very good point comrade. The BB's I have are in service, but will not actually fight in any conflict. They are relegated to patrolling the home waters and for use in reenactments. The citizens petitioned the Armed Forces Bureau and won. (They mostly sit in docks). I have already drafted a bill to either turn them into museums or store them for reenactments only. Voting is still going on. (And no... You are NOT out of your gourd.)

Creating a consistent currency between our roleplays would be a literal Godsend.
That would allow us to assign GDPs to certain nations and truly determine how realistic their projections are.
Vista Major, Oelesa
This is why we should set up a Roleplay Council, so topics like this can be discussed in a forum that is more formal than just placing random ideas on the public RMB
Jaslandia, Peoples Liberation Republic, Vista Major, Oelesa
dibs on king of the council
Jaslandia, Vista Major, Oelesa
But honestly, countries making trades and selling each other goods just don't make sense without some kind of conversion chart or standardized currency.

Jaslandia, Vista Major, Andromitus, Oelesa, United Continental States
Problem with that, though:
NS stats are literally the worst thing to use ever, and that leaves the RL stats of each nation which is also rather terrible since RL events haven't transpired inside of the RPs. PLR is looking at being massively poor if we use RL stats even though he does have a wealth of natural resources, for example. Barring that, we could either rely on people to set their own GDP -a little too much work- or set it for them -Good luck with factionalism and forcing it on them- and neither of which is really a good idea.
Personally, so long as no one does anything really dumb -and they'll be called out if they do *Cough* Latrovian Autarky *Cough* then it should be chill enough...though maybe a military formula could work in some way.
Economies aren't bad and the idea of including a standardization chart is nice, but I'd wager that we shouldn't place too much weight in something we cant objectively measure like RP nation wealth.
Vista Major
Well, what I envisioned is every nation makes a presentation to the Council that includes their resources, how they plan to get those resources, how they allocate them, market structure, population, as well as proposing what they think their GDP should be.
Then the Council agrees with their GDP (this is what will happen in most cases) or assigns a more realistic GDP.
I know it seems tedious, but might be worth it?
Vista Major
Eerily reminds me of a Congressional hearing
Non. That just allows for the opinions of a select few to have a massive impact on the RP.
We could however base ourselves off of actual nations and then go from there. So powers like PLR won't be locked in Third World status if they work with other powers (which he already does).
That ties in with having a unified timeline, and it seems more and more like we all have rl nation roots but veered off into alternative history at some point or another.
This would require a hard reset of the RP overall, because if, for example, Oel is the successor state to the German Empire, my nation will fiercely hate them for not apologizing for their forefather's utter destruction of Chinese society through the introduction of racially biased stratification of their expanded colony at Shandong.
This would also allow for players to address the issues that their plot of land has irl. Say, for example, that PLR solves the internal factionalism in the DRC by installing a brutal dictatorship, and fixes their economic woes by allying with foreign powers that send aid, develop infrastructure, etc.. PLR will most undoubtedly have some mild if not fervent dislike for Bax if Bax is supposed to be the successor to Belgium.

Vista Major, Oelesa
It made a fair bit of sense
Oelesa
Interesting idea, although we might have to work out what to do if our NS nation isn't tied to any particular RL nation. For example, Jaslandia is based out of Arabia (although outside of regional RP, Jaslandia also includes much of the Mediterranean and Europe as well), but we hardly have any relationship to Saudi Arabia or any other nation on the Arabian Peninsula RL: Jaslandia is mostly White in terms of race, our culture is a mixture of English and German (with a few others mixed in), and Lutheranism is the dominant religion instead of Islam. Andromitus would be another example: How his nation is structured doesn't resemble any kind of RL nation in this day and age.
Vista Major, Oelesa
Just wait for that new map, y'all
Wait, eat, pray, love
Oelesa, Percyton, Solla Ultima, United Continental States
I'm really not sure all that many people would go for African nations at all if that were the case. An example is how most of Africa is already depopulated in terms of RPers despite there being no restrictions placed on them in terms of economy and as a result of the stigma following the RL nations. That number is guaranteed to suffer from stagnation if not depletion if they're to be made to be a Third World Nation until they become reasonably developed by outside help.
Besides that, we've tried RP timelines before that include the history of all nations and it hasn't worked well in the past.
I've returned from my drunken slumber and I see I'm the topic of an interesting conversation
