SDN Worlds 4 Commentary Thread III

[Kartr_Kana]

Hmmm not exactly what I was expecting, but I've already figured out how to turn the events from your Hanson story into something I can use to mirror the original Homeworld game. This is gonna be fun!

[Tanasinn]

Anyway, on a more serious note, I'm glad I didn't get any Halo fanboy flak for Cortana. Maybe that means I can safely introduce the Pelican aerospace troop transport!

My Imperial Guards are basically UNSC Marines, I already use the UH-144 Falcon as an ultra-light troop transport, and the Wendee Lee class destroyer and its subclasses are basically the UNSC Destroyer. Unfortunately, Tanasinn stole the UNSC Frigate design for his cruisers before I could lay a claim to it, and I recall Sorchus using a Covenant ship design somewhere. That's basically it as far as Halo-derived designs go in this game.

Maybe the SDNW4 Pelican was a joint Haruhiist-Shinra project designed to replace dropships in both nations' militaries. The Holy Empire and the Shinra Republic are allies, after all; there may be a few shared projects here and there.

Hell, don't take that image too seriously; I chose a vague-looking one on purpose. I may still switch it up if I can find something I like better (finding decently utilitarian-looking warships is a royal pain).

[Kartr_Kana]

I wonder if the God Emperor will still want to use Elysians as new recruits for the Atartes, they might hold a naked parade through the capital rank on rank, file on file of rigidly stiff soldiers marching through the streets in honor of their God Emperor.

[Shinn Langley Soryu]

Gentlemen, BEHOLD! Ace Combat shenanigans!

My German could definitely use some work, though, and I'm not even sure if that's how you say "New Craiova" in proper Romanian. And yes, I mashed up the Hresvelgr with the Arkbird. In any case, just something to pass the time while I try to straighten out those negotiations with the Solarians and Chamarrans...

[PeZook]

Man, Ace Combat seems like a connecting feature of all SDNWs

Q must be extremely amused by that fact

[KlavoHunter]

If you're looking for something to write, we want to see Empress Haruhi herself!

And ooooh, I wonder who this Mr. Sulejmani is....

Heh. Though to tell the truth, I'd think the role played by giant aerial gunships in Ace Combat would go to Light/Medium starships here; once you're committed to building something that big, there's no reason not to make it hyper capable so you can use it on more than one planet without taking it apart and putting it back together.

Then again, maybe that WAS a Belkan light starship design... they could have fleets of the things!

They would have their brains rewritten before becoming Astartes.

[DarthShady]

And people say Karlack infestation is a bad thing. We at least let people keep their minds...sort of.

I suspect by this point that the perversity is hardwired into their genes, like that of Shroomanians. And we know what happened when you tried to make Shroomanian Space Marines...

Then again, you might just get the Iron Snakes. I dunno.

[PeZook]

One shouldn't underestimate Shroomanians. Everybody does because they assume their soldiers will just break into a homoerotic song-and-dance routine at the slightest provocation, but then you wake up and your entire camp is tied up and bent over while the Shroomanians you laughed at hover ominously behind you and your buddies...

Well, there's always need for contrarian Astartes. They could become infiltrators, or something in some of the more secretive Astartes armies, like the Grey Knights or DeathWatch.

[Shroom Man 777]

Come on, if the Shroomanian Prime Minister is anything to go by, Shroomanians are total badasses. Maaaang!

[PeZook]

You just need to press one wrong button and *boom*, the kindly slightly eccentric guy of questionable sexual orientation turns into a violent psycho!

That's how Shroomanians make their commandos. Completely true!

Oh, I'm not laughing at them. I'm just saying they're totally insane.

Elysians are, if anything, a more extreme variation on the same general theme.

[notes that the Elysian naval anthem probably translates as "In The Navy..."]

[Shroom Man 777]

Can someone tell me what is wrong with this wiki?

[Force Lord]

I haven't made any recent posts yet, since I want Simon to finish first the battle before I do anything.

EDIT: And Steve, you still haven't returned the Datton to me.

It was probably returned sometime in March or April 3400. I just haven't posted such.

[Simon_Jester]

Almost done. May finish this evening, with the boarding of the station by a joint Umerian Strike/Centralist Marine force.

After that I'll write a scene trying to encourage the Commune to accept some kind of settlement on the whole "planets in the space between us" issue that involves less scorched earth, though that would be set back in March or April.

I also want to focus back on the Geppetto storyline I dropped earlier.

I've got some more plans in mind for Sector H-12, but they can stay on hold for a while. I hope no one minds my hoping to turn this into an extended campaign rather than something that can be decided in a single easily-fought battle.

[RogueIce]

Man, the guy has Cortanas and Lizard Master Chief, but he won't deign having enormous motorcycles or ridiculously huge swords wielded by evil geostigma-ridden albinos. Does that seem rite to you?

KATR KANA: Hanson!

I don't have a Lizard Master Chief. Where'd you get that from?

Anyway, on a more serious note, I'm glad I didn't get any Halo fanboy flak for Cortana. Maybe that means I can safely introduce the Pelican aerospace troop transport!

Sounds like a plan.

Dude, we mutilated pretty much every sci-fi franchise there is...and you expected fanboy rage for an innocous reference?

This is SDN, after all. If there isn't fanboy rage, something is wrong.

Nothing?

STRIKE SHIP TROOPERS: DINO EATERERS

[Simon_Jester]

[gasp gasp gasp]

Okay. That wraps up the Battle of Hawk's Nest.

Now on to something else...

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

Dinosaurs with guns etc.

...

Is it just me, or am I feeling old when I think of this cartoon? Dino Riders

[Force Lord]

DINOSAURS IN SPAAAACE!

You don't see that every day.
