If there's any justice in the world, the man will be eaten by piranhas.

Y'all sound a bit upset, understandable though. However, believe it or not, I'm actually holding back compared to some of the stuff you can find in the real world... Especially in places like Saudi Arabia.

Oh, lucky us then.

Why the hell was Shroom Viking headed for Astaria? I mean seriously there are no facilities there capable of receiving it or unloading it. Also foreign ships are just not that welcome.

Goddamn it, when are we gonna do that SIRNOTH SHINDIG?

Are all the other conferences done? It might be a bit disorientating for us to have multiple conferences at once.

Well, the San Magdalena Accord is finalized and has been submitted to the nations for ratification. The Frequesue Neutrality Conference is still ongoing.

Mangs I'll be gone for the next 3-4 days. Bajram begins tomorrow so rivers of alcohol will flow through Sarajevo. I'll be swimming in one of them.

I trust my SNC Brothers can handle anything USSR related untill I return.

Have fun Guys, I know I will.

He pulled a gun during arrest. That's their story and they're sticking to it.

Before you FTO dude go build your guided missile, you might want to seriously think about what you want to launch from your missile tubes before building them. Because those launchers are limited to either Beowulf's new hypersonic missiles, or Tomahawks.

And that's what happens when you combine complacency with being too busy getting your freak on (why the radioman was not in his radio room and didn't try to get there until it was too late).

Hrm, this will actually prove a fascinating legal question....

Since you paid Lonestar in Susan B. Anthonys Shep, how about we pay you in Rosa Parks?

Khitan still exists, now as an NPC state, right?

Yes it does. But if you are going to do anything there, please consult the rest of the Old Continent. We don't want another war on our hands.

And the FTO, see above.

And... just how do you expect to fuel your own ships without fuel?

Astaria itself has some oil, and there's off-shore drilling next to Bissauru.

Bah.. just let the map be. We aren't going to be approaching Astarian shore anyhow.

The Vinish can visit the CSR, I or one of my officials will meet them.

P.S. Japanistan's deals with Shepistan are a major concern to me.

Shepistan is viewed as a belligerent in one of the last brutal wars and modernizing it's equipment is totally unacceptable.

If this continues, I will have to state that my nation will not tolerate any participation of Japanistan in space exploration.

Noticed the variant with the Mk 45 enlarged missile tubes?

They better be sufficiently enlarged because a missile like the Brahmos I is easily twice the size of a Tomahawk.

Is there such a launch tube anyhow?

EDIT: Updated my latest news post to avoid too many news posts.

By that claim; shouldn't you be gravely concerned about the MESS modernizing it's military, with Tian Xia buying like 100~ plus F-22s, considering that it was a MESS nation, the Old Dominion, which caused the One Week War by invading Shepistani held territory and attacking a Shepistani Client State?

MKSheppard wrote:By that claim; shouldn't you be gravely concerned about the MESS modernizing it's military

I am. I am making a re-hash of my missile stocks to make my fighters still able to engage the MESS F-22 and I'm also creating new submarines to wipe their airfields clean in case of war. I don't like high-end technology proliferating from Japanistan elsewhere however. Note that I'm not spamming 5gen fighters either, I have but a handful.

To be fair, I think that this technology spam leads to lowly nations receiving equipment which waay beyond their level, which is unrealistic.

I mean, everyone should be selling their old stocks to such nations, not their mainstay or even future systems.

Hell, I even stopped short of selling supersonic and hypersonic missiles and technologies in Shroomania - and Shroomania is far friendlier and rather harmless, well, at least more harmless than you are, Shep.

I do ponder if people would be as willing to play Duchies and Principalities if they weren't allowed to field top-of-the-line stuff, though. They want toys too. At least in Frequesue a lot of their newer projects are from FTO nations combining resources.

With Cascadia I'm pretty much going with having a top-notch aerospace industry and decent shipbuilding, hence my Navy and the quality of my Air Force's aircraft. But even I'm going to be stretching to field a fourth carrier despite a much higher defense budget burden being acceptable than, say, modern Britain, and none of my carriers are nuclear or over 60,000 tons displacement (though if Yenchin and I get that joint project going my fourth will be British CVF-size). And my plans for 5th Gen aircraft amount to precisely thirty F-35Cs for Naval Aviation - 24 in lots of eight per carrier and six in reserve. If I get a fourth carrier, I might procure another 8-12 for it. The rest of my Air Force will remain 4th Gen, if 4.5 and 4.75 in increasing amounts.

If they band together and produce the stuff together, I don't see why they can't have their own indigenous projects. Heck, I remember SiegeTank mentioning they were doing their own Brahmos missile some time back. Not that any of us object to them getting advanced weapons. The fellas in the FTO distrust the rest of us enough, to be honest.

BTW Stas, want to make a Fusion Reactor the first major project to be built in Commune-1?
