Talk about lashing out...this may cause a breakup of the SNC.

Anyway, I'm back to work. My intardnet has been cut off at the office due to one technical reason or another, so see you all in the evening

Well, this could be all amicably solved by Q....

I do operate PzH 2000s and T-80UM in the reserve.

Of course, why do you want a rickety T-72 when there's T-90s (incidentally a T-72UM)?

Well, not with ‘no consequences’... ‘Negligible consequences’ though is fine!

Alright, thanks. Phew, for a moment there I was worried .

The Titan is a good design (though Delta or Atlas could be a better choice for the long term, since we know that it's modernization limit vs. lift capacity is higher than that of the Titan family).

Hmm, okay, but it stretches credibility to immediately pick the best rocket family to modernize over the coming decades. I guess I'll just have to switch to another rocket design somewhere down the line. For now though Titan suits my purposes rather well, so that's fine by me.

Sure, we'll launch anything with very few questions asked, and at a very nice price! And we don't have any nosy neighbours either... That goes for Zoria, Byzantium, and anybody else looking to launch some satellites too, by the way: We really do see space as the future of Big Business, so we'll do our darned best to push Camp Kittyhawk into becoming the biggest commercial spaceport in the world. We've got the rockets, we're well-positioned, we're not so picky about our customers, we've got the infrastructure, we don't ask many questions, and we'll take all major credit cards . So launch your whizbang satellites from San Dorado today!

Stas, I don't understand...why would you launch an attack on Communications satellites and a as-yet regional only GPS network(over fucking Shepland) that belong to a organization that has made no aggressive moves towards you in the past? And one of the movers and shakers will willing to be part of this anti-slavery pact?

And be willing to let the Japanistani Satelites go unmolested?

I'm just being sad over the fact that while everyone is stuck in year 1960, rocket-wise, you claim to be in the year 2012 apparently...

What was the whole god damn point in Marina's ban on ICBMs/space rocketry? Wasn't it to have us a few years without them? No? Why we have to devise a realistic chain of technology with rockets, carefully watching how boosters develop over years, when you just handwave a modern booster taht has no right to exist wthout preceding technology!

I would have handwaved Energia and had dozens of RORSATs and orbital weapons by now, if only I behaved teh way you did.

That's my only beef here. I could retcon the attack away if you reconsider.

P.S. This attack, even if run, is deniable. Or, at least, the CSR would deny it.

P.P.S. Japanistan is also in the year 1960. Worse yet, it has to ask FASTA to launch it's satellites, meaning it doesn't even have a missile comparable to the R-7 derivatives' performance...

Fine. Omni-Domni, all previous GPS launches used a single rocet for each Satellite, and the Crew And Service module becomes a Dyna-Soar on top of a MSA Tiatn-II Analog.

and the change has been made.

Yes.

And I'm going neutral.

See, this is why the FUN is awesome. Everyone else is insane.

Coming from me, that means a lot too!

technically speaking, he Ploinked MESS satellites, not OD satellites.

What???????????

Mang I'm disappointed.

What's the point of our alliance if at the first sign of trouble you react like that?

The 'first sign of trouble'? Are you frickin' kidding me? Have you paid attention to how your ally typically reacts to crises? He sends fleets to overthrow local governments if he feels they're not steadfast enough, conducts large-scale bombardments of foreign port cities if he feels a national government hasn't done enough to keep his citizens out of slavery, and shoots the crap out of satellite constellations when he feels... Yes, what precisely? "They may have other stuff up there too"?

Sure, that last one may be retconned now, but the fact remains that President Stanislav really doesn't strike me as the most level-headed world leader out there. Which is alright, because I see what Stas is trying to do with him, but hell - please don't act as if his allies don't have oodles of reasons to second-guess their alliance with the CSR (or rather, would have if they knew of all the stunts he's pulled, of course quite a bit isn't known to the world at large in-context).

I President Stanislav.

No. I mean, christ, nobody clued in onto the "Special Type" 26" tubes; considering that trick is so old; it was used by the Japs in 1939 onwards to designate their 18" guns as Special Type 16" guns.

Well, there's always the other STGOD game to play.

Well, I hope the Goodyear Blimp ruins all of Stas' diabolical schemes.

For the record I think your ambassador to the FUN conference is fairly batshit insane too. Really. That however is an entirely different story, one which I hope to reveal to you shortly!

That crazed ambassador is entirely your creation. Melchett McMeistervater is quite sane. That other guy... well, he has three chins!

Kittens.

Retcon, Shroom. The post was meant to get the MESS to scale back from the insane claims to have Ares boosters kicking dozen-ton machines into GEO, not start a World War III.

I see what Shepistan aspires to be

How would you feel when the CSR shoots up 100 Orbital Bombardment Warheads and lets them spin over the world, each able to go down on your head right on demand - but calls them, say "communication satellites"? There are no treaties banning either OBS or FOBS in this world.

I bet you won't be so trusting of the CSR. But that's okay. I agree with your assessment

My latest post really ought to put a cat among the pigeons!

Incidentally the Pezookian foreign minister isn't exaggerating when he describes said treaty. A price had to be paid and all that.

Oh yeah before someone notices the treaty text shown is just a paraphrase of the REAL treaty text, and all that. The "real" wording is very nice and lawyerly to prevent any obvious abuses etc etc.

GAYDAR.

Okay, Stas.
