And a young Alaskan student has a brilliant idea.

So Seige, you should probably be getting the first Legend class in the near future. Ifyou want to write something up feel free but otherwise I would just consider them as trickling in starting now and continuing for the next 3 years. Your NFCG now has long range patrol cutters...go you .

I mostly say that because after the current generation of Amphibs are done being produced (2015) I will have dockspace for anything from the Whibley Island, Tarawa, Wasp, Harper's Ferry, Iwo Jima, San Antonio, and America class if ya'll want to order from an established amphibious builder.

I'm personally looking into a light carrier of 60,000tonnes. A full length carrier, to replace my Wasps. So I have flexibility to use full carrier aircraft and STOVL aircraft. Something close to what I sold Siege some time back.

1) I'll see about the VTOL, but in realityh the F-35 doesn't have the VTOL, it just has a unified frame with F-35B which has it. That's different. We can also have a VTOL frame, but that's... impacing performance as I'm sure everyone's aware.

Do we even have carriers taht need VTOL? Most of .ours seem large full capable carriers, not castrated LPHs..

2) when I get to work tomorrow I'll look up my U.S.C.R. fifth generation iventory drawings and give them out to you all

3) I'll look on Shady's proposed OOB and offer comments.

Personally, the big question is whether or not I want to retain my Wasps, which are decade old, or do I want to get rid of them in favour of full deck carriers which I am contemplating beginning construction this 2020. In which case, the issue is whether or not a VTOL aircraft is useful or not is another question. I'm not sure about the F-35B's gun performance, but I'd be interested in potential replacements for the Su-39 itself which I see as useful to be deployed from a carrier meant to support ground ops.

The Su-39 is a gunship. Undoubtedly it's better than an F-35 in A.T.G. performance... that's not even a fair contest... New age gunship is interesting, but so far I haven't seen any new generation projects that are really worthy fo attention.

Probably. The F-35 can't soak up as much damage either compared against the A-10 or Su-39.

There are quite a few issues to deal with really. The Yak-241 project might be put on hold pending the decision of whether we want a full deck carrier or not.

I was thinking of having an AC-130 version of our transport A400s, with electrothermal guns.

I think that just as the C-130 was called the 'Hercules', we should call these AC400s 'Heraclius'.

Well, I'm going to procure A400s for air tankers. An AC-400 aircraft is possible. So let's work on it, and hope for a 2018-2020 launch date.

And name it Heraclius!

Updated my OOB, plus a few other things.

The B-3 "Sleipnir" flies! wooo.

Wait, is it 2013 0r 2014, I cannot remember?

2015

Damn...I should really get around to posting the Selene schedule...

Wow.

We have played this game for more than half a year. It'd be a miracle we hit the full year.

Where is Coyote? I need to visit Canissia, mangs!

UCSR Nation Profile and OOB are up. Made by the Awesome Comrade Stanislav.

Gentlemen, I think it's time. FASTA is perfectly willing to include a MESS astronaut as a lunar module pilot for the first manned lunar landing in the Selene program: is the MSA willing to provide one for us?

(FASTA does have people from MESS nations in our roster, but they're civilians who applied on their own and passed the training process. We're looking to have an actual MSA astronaut on the flight)

Um, give me some time to write the appropriate MOHAMMAD JIHAD and Moonbeam posts, by the way.

Sure thing. BTW, Maurizio Cheli (Slated for Selene 3 and 8 ) is a Miratian national. Ryan can do a happy dance now

I thought he was listed as Vinish. I was hoping for a Langley on the list.

How did you like my FASTA media PR boosting thing?

Oh! Right!

Me forgots langleys.

It actually makes more sense to have a Langley national there ; Miratia only joined last year, and it takes circa two years to qualify a green astronaut.

or, screw that. I'll just add a Langley to the roster

Make it Langley.


I know how we can honor Miratia and Ryan.

We shall say that those Miratian commandos who found Sidney Hank got directed to the place by Frank the Elephant's most excellent intelligence!

"Thanks for the direction, elephant!"

Hut hut hut hut!

Pezook, has the Vinish guy ever been on a mission crew?

Blake? He flew on Soyuz 6, with Svetlana no less. Why?
