He's retconned it as a rogue action, but that makes me ask a simple question:

Who controls Baerne's military?!

What would be really cool would be if you put my rotting corpse in a throne and then you would ask me questions about what my will over the land is.

"Shall we cease beating the child, your Highnes?"

"..."

"Very well, your Highness!"

Goddamn you!eeeee

We can tolerate crazy cults, I guess. Zablorgology shall be SDN World's equivalent of... SPACEOLOGY!

Indeed. There will be a release soon from the Shinra Republic regarding this disturbing series of events.

And people, for the last time: it is NOT "Shinran" in any way, shape, or form. *glares at Bean*

2.) DarthShady: Cool, your pilots can train in Shroomania with our homoerotic SAF top-gun guys.

Thanks.

Bean i love the warlords, but i may have personal reasons to kill the one based on a Serbian general.

None of these guys is going to be an easy man to kill the General has the actual respect and love of his people. The Sultan has fear and the largest military backing him up. And the Lord has divine providence.... acutally no, what he has is mobility and I'd say the most intelligent of the three, if it's mad intelligence rather than normal intelligence.

Okay, so these are three, independent competing factional warlords that are not only conspiring against the world at large, but each other as well, then? Or are they somehow in a cohesive framework, together?

The rough frame-work is that each has his own goals and operations.

They are each competing against each for control of the country and each have their own goals in mind. All want control for different reasons, but they want power, or respect, or control, or wealth.

At of this instant's, in game each one is in an uneasy truce with each other, they have not begun out-right warfare least the third side beat the two that are fighting, and of course none of them trust the others so the possibility of a two way alliance is out of the question.

At least for now, your going to see some movement because of Barene actions. Most likely from the Lord since that's who Barene attacked.

A point, as of right now all three are trying to "Out Legitimatize" the others in order to win international appeal, which is the General might hold elections or the Lord invinte reports around and show them the time of their life, while the Sultan is trying to get Saddamastain on his side and bribe who he can.

Goddamn Libertopians working with the Goddamn Saddamistanis.

We need the Goddamn Shepnukistanis to kick all their asses! Goddamn it!

Seeing as how I am right next door to Saddamistan, I'm going to say "fuck no" to this plan.

As another next door neighbor, I must also object.

On another note, what types of Commence ships are being produced? I can remember two off hand but can't be bothered to find the details, I might be looking to purchase the plans and producing them locally.

Yeah. But you have to admit, the Super Saddam Special is super scary!

Here are the commerce ships.

[Whoops! Wrong link!]

The ISCA has the ACV and FCS, both listed in the Alliances thread. Wilkonia has some designs out there too but I can't remember what they are offhand.

The FCS and the ACV are proven designs, they've been rigorously tested, and more countries are in on 'em than just Wilkonia

I think it's high time I properly define my economy.

Shroom Man 777 wrote:The FCS and the ACV are proven designs, they've been rigorously tested, and more countries are in on 'em than just Wilkonia

The FCS looks like what is needed, but I'm going to have to modify the design to meet UKB goals.

er... it's not like what we have is a full-blown pandemia, more like a malaria strain of sorts that is plaguing the country

We've had "pandemics" here in America that constitute a half dozen sick people and their dog.

Blaim it on a fear-mongering press If I get it wrong.

mutate it

Let us know about the modifications,and the ISCA will see what we can do

Oh, the FCS is also armed with anti-pirates arms,and can easily outrun their speedboats on the full seas. The Saddamistani one which was abducted was a fluke

The difference is that while the FCS takes a crew 8 to carry 15k DWT wheras the Wilkonian Container Transport is an 8000 TEU (roughly 100k DWT) container only vessel with a crew of 12-20. Just one Wilkonian vessel can carry something on the order of 8 times the cargo load (for containerized/intermodal cargo) of the FCS. So basically if you get in line behind Fingolfin (who has priority delivery of the next two to roll off of FCSY's slipways around the last quarter of 2009) you could have as much tonnage and capacity as waiting around for 8-10 FCS's to get delivered.

The per-unit cost is 210million ROB (250million USD) so its as much as a dozen FCS's but also requires less crewspace and lower lifetime operational costs.

The other Wilkonian vessel (aside from minor shipping vessels on the order of 3-5000 DWT) which folks might be interested in if the LNG carrier which is currently the sole anounced LNG vessel. If you want to trade in gas then you probably want one (or else you can go build and maintain a pipeline).

As an aside I've seen the rough 500k DWT/yr for Tsardom's and I'm just stating offhand that the naval expenditure I've been putting out there is leading to a noticeable and consistent increase in that capacity for Wilkonia. As I'm not sure if anyone else is maintinaing enough of a naval support infrastructure to sustain 4 CVBGs (including 1 in refit at all times) I think its justifiable.

hey, I'm thinking about some "less then lethal" weapons tech. Is this too Sci-fi?

basically something simular to that sonic weapon used against the somali pirates, subsonics in a focused point type broadcast that interupts the sense of balance in the innerear creating nausia, and uncoordinated movements...
