So how feesible is my underground wreking rover turned tunnel machine?

Also how much would it take to evolve it into a engine for tunneling under peoples bases and fucking their shit that way? ala Gears of War style?

>>21573773

>>21573774
D: Air drones
C: Sentry guns or emplacements on the walls.

>>21573807
The shock and awe, would be worth it alone.

>>21573807
Not very feasable, the city streets are unstable enough as is, you're sitting on top of an aquifier and there's the simple fact that the tunnels are full of pipes and organic waste and all manner of other blockages.

Oh and if you tried to tunnel into someone's base you'd just hit their basements and they'd hear you coming a good while away.

>>21573774
What about tech that can take out enemy communications.

>>21573852
well it was worth a shot.

I support the head of R&D's idea but chip in a wreking rover so we can secure another ru point

>>21573809
RESOURCE USE
One to Ringmail, one to Longbow, one to emplace sentry guns if it takes a resource. If it doesn't, sure, air drones. The small kind that could hold just a couple of assault rifles wouldn't be a bad addition I guess.

Ringmail can spend its resource increasing the safety standards so we don't fucking have so many dislocated limbs next time.

Longbow gets to re-engineer the eyepieces so we have a far lower risk there.

>>21573807
The fastest tunneling machine would be an underground bomb delivered by a bunker-buster missile dropped from a good height. Everything else takes weeks for much distance.

>>21573873
Your thinking of Radio Jammers, that tech has been out for awhile now.

>>21573873
you could build a broad band radio jammer that flkoods all radio frequencies.

That would drownd out your communications too and you'd be fucked if they have wired or sattelite communications.

>>21573892
And offer to swap population figures with Darwin so we can asses their needs as a market and they can do the same to us. If we need to arm way more people than we're prepared to at the moment and expansion of infrastructure is useful, we should learn that now rather than later. If they need to do the same with their mutation system, they would likely want to know that.

>>21573899
Yeah but that has this issue
>>21573905

Maybe some good hacking(in a safe place) i would rather give bad info then just leave them in the dark.

>>21573905
Fuck, are you kidding me? They'd just use mirrors to transmit long and short flashes of light to each other in morse code, or semaphore, or whatever else they can think of for backup comms. Any vulnerability we'd create in them by doing this would be worse for us, as we'd be sitting right on top of the jammer and would have to do the same thing.

>>21573875
>>21573892
Safety standards won't help, that had more to do with how incredibly strong the mutants were. even if you're in armor, if someone really strong grabs your arm and pulls with enough force somethin's gotta give.

anyway, now that you have HMGs and LMGs you could mount an LMG on a gun drone (the helo type I presume?) and ringmail roll will probably finallize bullet proof grapheen research since everything else appears to have been covered roughly.

>>21573940
Misinformation is only effective if they're interested in what we have to say. I expect that unless the concept is totally alien to them (and given that they're likely descendants of military survivors, I'd doubt it), they're likely on alert for it and have been ever since we encrypted our transmissions (they were listening to them, so they know we're aware of information security).

>>21573962
Oh, thought it was the armor itself that was causing the problem. We do need mechs soon as per previous details.

>>21573947
well I'm a little tired but the basic notion of mirrors or candles or whatever the fuck occured to me after that post. Anyway, point is. %Radio jammer fucks up conventional radio signals for everyone, there's not much point in it unless you're a deranged suicidal anarchist.

>>21573962
>>21573996
And in that case, I'm amending the plan here >>21573892
to include RINGMAIL research into finishing the systems that are only half done in the lab. Preferably work on more than one at once.

Then we integrate, and after that we work on mass production. Plus I dunno if we ever developed spinerettes for the silk.

>>21573996
no no. You're safe from that retarded "oh, control issues, you broke something. lawl." shit you see in scifi at times. any group of scientists who lets power armor get to the prototype stage in a condition where it harms its user should be takenb behind the chemical sheds and shot.

So what, are we done with ringmail or what?

>>21574026
spinarettes were the first thing you did. You have spider silk clothes, they're really very comfy.

>>21574050
No, half the components work badly and we need the final design to be integrated and to develop a system to repair it in the field, like in this post >>21568102

"-In-the-field repair systems. Our honeycomb-structure armor will at best take a hit and need individual cells to undergo replacement. A mechanical system that can do this and will fit in something about the size of four phone booths standing together in a square (read: fits in a tank-rover thing) will allow this to be done in the field."

Okay, good. We just need function improvement and repair for some components, integration, and field repair I think. And to make it easy to produce.

We still have bugs to iron out with the EM reactive layer, for instance.

>>21574091

okay roll for it. Keep at it and we'll improve effectiveness and such as we go along.

Also note that what appear to be remote control mutants wlake dup to your door step and killed 50 people.

might wanna do somethin' about that.

>>21574159
That's why we're finishing this fucking armor, but alright. Coordinate with DRBL and the Parish to set up some overwatch and early warning communications. We're coming for them as soon as we have decent air and ground power sorted, I think. In the meantime we can set up SONATA, down a helicopter, and try to capture their motherfuckers. Possibly next turn.

PROJECT LONGBOW UPDATE

You finally manage to find a cheap, easy to produce version of grapheen that is as strong as steel and mass producable. This now replaces your transperant glass equivilents where ever possible. It couldn't stop say... a high caliber rifle round, but it could stop a high caliber pistol round.

Also your researchers have developed a more complex communications packe for longbow tech. Now a user can trigger his gun's firing mechanism (assuming the weapon has a compatable firing mechanism) with his Teuton's Zietgeist operating system.

>>21574227
what are you even rolling for?

What is all this talk of rovers?

Are we even working on in-the-field-repair systems anymore?

Rolled 56

>>21574311
I always advocate for the final completion of our wrecking rover sextet and Squire was rolling for the completion of the Air drones.

>>21574311
I thought the rover upgrade was the in-field-repair

We'll re-engineer aerial drones next turn if we need to. At this point we're close to done with RINGMAIL and LONGBOW both.

The armor structure should be in hexagonal inch-wide layers, maybe an inch deep each, that are structured as follows.

^this side towards flesh of user^

-Gore-tex and other fun space-age materials to keep any chemicals and toxins and temperature spikes from bothering the user. Nonconductive.
-Faraday cage.
-Refractory layer, like tantalum hafnium carbide. Four thousand+ degree melting point, chemically neutral, keeps the acids and bases more or less at bay.
-Electromagnetic reactive armor, because high-density penetrators will need to go farther than normal bullets.
-High impact strength armor material, like high performance polyethylene.
-Spider silk layer.
-Space-age shuttle ceramic (also a second high-impact layer, but mostly for heat from lasers and explosions) and/or heat conductive materials to move the energy towards dedicated heatsinking.
-Copper ablative/aerosolizing laser armor.
-Graphene and active camo layer.
-Some teflon to make our soldiers hard to grapple, except in places where friction is useful (palms of hands, maybe kneecaps or areas that are leaned on, obviously bottoms of feet) - there, we put on various other substances that allow for good friction.

\/ side towards bullets \/

Put a second layer over that one, overlapping them. Should be able to fit all that within maybe four inches. A bunch of space-age systems and a high-strength frame and we'll largely avoid the armor being magnetic.

Rolled 31

>>21574351
this makes me afraid that it will be incredibly costly to produce unless we find some sources for these materials.

PS: What's that mutant thing? Contact DBRL to ascertain those, and to reverse-bioengineer the corpse when we kill it.

Hopefully, not the paranoid anon's nightmare of DBRL backstab.

Also, Longbow?

Yes, we need the repair system for Ringmail.

>>21574382
Here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/21566417

>>21574373
We spent the last two threads carefully finding ways to produce most of this shit. It's mostly a matter of a week or two researching how to set the industrial production process up right in our foundry now, as far as I can tell.

OP will give us a ratio for number of armors made for each resource unit, and we can try to improve on it as we go. And those materials are all plastics invented before 1980 except for the graphene, which is fucking carbon. Easy as pie.

>>21574413
well in that case lets crank that shit out! whoooo!

>>21574382
Okay, I did miss a chapter. Rereading.

Anyway, recapping my vote for stronger Rovers. Might as well go for semi-humanoid Rovers with Power Armor tech as basis.

PROJECT RINGMAIL UPDATE
The individual elements of project HAUBERK are buggy and inefficient. Efforts are put forward to integrate them and the effects of that development are largely positive. The ersatze space age materials combined with the insulation/power distribution system with the active camo layer prove to dependable enough after being excessively tested. The double layering of the HAUBERK materials is troublesome but again, the bugs are carefully ironed out. This leaves use with a fairly minor problem.

The net result is quite expensive, and if HAUBERK is to be distributed to your forces at large it must be made cheaper.

(basically you've finally got all the disparate elements of your armor working together but the shit's too expensive to mass produce. You need to make it cheaper. Which, truth be told, is 90% of bring ultra tech to the masses.)

>>21574413
at the moments the elemnts of HAUBERK are cheap but putting it together is expensive, you just need a better manufacturing method. Nothing you can't handle.

I would like a wrecking rover, if it will up our ru's to 4 per turn.

also rolling for Air drones!

Okay you mounted some AA betteries and some machine gun nests on the wall. The V towners would still like another wall between them and Light City though.

You catch a garbled radio transmission. Apparently its from something called "The Republic" and they are locked in a war with "The Order of Cincinattus." Aside from that you can't pick up much. Seems to be a general cry for help.

>>21574543
I think a wrecking rover is about enough for 0.25 resource units per turn. OP could help here.

>>21574578
Was it a one-time transmission, or a repeat? Because if it's repeating, we can use the radios at our consulates to triangulate its location. If it's one-time and they have a signal record we can try that.

>concise topton

Huh. Top-Ton sounds like a product line...

>>21574625
If we have the free labor, sure, but it's several turns and a lot of resource units for every section as per OP in last thread:

"First off you'd need to seal off a section of the tunnels and drain it, that's one resource unit right there. Plus that's an action requiring a lot of manpower so it'll limit what you can do that turn.

Once drained of water you need to clear out that section, that'll use up another turn and grant you some resources from the stuff left in the tunnel. But then you'll have a section of tunnel that's clear of obstructions and water."

Im just going to suggest things from now on lol

>>21574697
You triangulate the signal and find its originating from a site about 20 days to east at your current transportation level. half that if you have a car or something.

Not that the Majesty are still patrolling the city twice a day with their helos.

Rolled 29

>>21574715
seal off and drain the water in the pipes, work on air drones and triganulate the signal.

>>21574736
I have the dice on my side, for fuckin' once.

So that's power armor mass manufacturing, LONGBOW feature integration with MAYBE eyepiece laser defense with mirror-shades-lookin' dielectric mirror coating, and some aerial drones.

>>21574764
I really do think we should focus on grounding those Helos permantly.

>>21574725
>>21574728
>>21574736
everythingwentbetterthanexpected.jpg

how fast would we get there if we took the Majesty helo? we have all the data we can glean from it and the designs, right?

>>21574782
The only problem is that we may control the inside of light city, the Majesty control the area outiside the city, which means we cannot leave the city at any possible means.

>>21574736
Your head Drone Researcher manages to finallize his divorce, gain custody of his children and get his life in order. In a rush of activity to make up for lost time he makes not one but dozens of breakthroughs in UAV technology. Roger Dean has basically written the Post Impact book on UAVs. (at least as far as you're concerned.)

(Congratulatrions you have a fixed wing prototype and a helo prototype. It will cost you one resource unit each to put them into mass production. They can mount heavy weapons or cameras or whatever else you feel like putting on them {within reason.} )

>>21574781
Since Majesty keeps bringing out more, and since they're on a military base, they could conceivably have hundreds.

We'd have to assault them directly and we are definitely not ready for that alone. Shooting the helicopters out of the sky would just make them come at us, possibly with nukes.

>>21574813
Not really, we've had them clear out in anticipation of concerted anti-air gun bombardments and flak from our allies and ourselves. All we gotta do is call up the others and plan a bombardment, then fly out under the cover of smoke and make for the horizon.

>>21574815
Do we need one more roll for either RINGMAIL or LONGBOW?

>>21574720
You develop a modular repair package for HAUBERK that can eventually be scaled up for the inevitable armored vehicle program. It consists of a set of tools and materials that can repair any and all damaged portions of a RINGMAIL defense system. Each item has its own container and this container is mounted in a storage compartment on a heavy rover or kept in a back back that can be carried by an infantryman (who can lift and carry 500 pounds for several hours at a time...)

(Oh, and yeah, you're developing this armor stuff for your gun rovers too.)

>>21574839
What I'm trying to suggest is that if we build and place AA weaponery across Light city, we can then rid the Majesty's Air superiority. This has been the only thing limiting us since day one.

>>21574884
Two if we keep shooting down their Helos, it may get them to use their ground forces more often.

>>21574884
Except that, because we know their shit runs on fission, they may well have enough nuclear materials on hand to make a bomb.

All it takes to break us is our tower getting nuked. If we push them, but not hard enough to break them like we did the Vice Lords, we may become the proud owners of a smoking, irradiated crater.

As such, better to clear the air.

>>21574815
I would like to take our advanced sensors from our armor suites and upgrade the drone's optic suites. Add in some AI and if we can use GPS (no idea if the satellites are still in the sky) or some type of positional mapping to maintain their position and report back.

>>21574725
You coat the surface of the optical lenses for many LONBOW inventions with a mirrored finish, that when exposed to electricity via a switch, can become completely transperant. This was mostly a side project by a bored researcher as the boys in R&D hammere dthe last few bugs out of LONGBOW's comm system, HUD, coding, and hardware.

(so yeah, no more bugs and a mirror finish that you can switch off and on. This is another case of "you must produce dedicated manufacturing machines")

>>21574931
This is a good idea, but if it comes with resource cost we should spend some time sending out a CTF to meet these Republic fuckers.

>>21574951
>"you must produce dedicated manufacturing machines")
we should take a turn just improving our manufact completely.

>>21574960
>Republic fuckers.
are we sure they aren't the ones who are being fucked with?

>>21574931
well some are. You never bothered to check. Which in and of itself would be pretty resource intensive.

>>21574973
I think OP has stated that in the case of specialized equipment we must tailor processes to that particular thing or we will not reach peak efficiency.

>>21574982
If Majesty or someone else can set a trap twenty day's march away for the hell of it, we might as well go spring it with the fury of God's own thunder. At worst, we'll meet another threat and begin to come to grips with it - or locate a second base of operations for Majesty.

The cost of not having another ally is potentially huge given the enemies we've met so far.

>>21575000
Clarification please. The reception of signals is resource intensive; the cost of developing tech to use the signals is intensive, the costof launching another satellite to provide gps?

>>21574973
You have a manufacturing facility that is fully automated. You ask for something and it gives it to you. Your main difficulty here is optimizing what your manufacturing facilities can produce and how they can produce it, you've basically expanded as much as humanly possibly in concerns to your high tech industry.

Well unless you feel like building a factory outside. You know, a robot factory that's basically an STC?

>>21575047
>Well unless you feel like building a factory outside
underground in a bunker would be prefferable. I hate the thought of someone making off with our tech.

>>21575042
not so much resource intensive as time consuming. You never had sattelites in orbit. (I gave you the library of congress, you thinjk I'm giving you a sattelite?) assuming there are sattelites up there they're in use and were designed to stay up there post impact and wait for signals from below. So if you found one you'd need to subvert it. etc. etc.

I tell you this because you know this in character.

Okay, here's a fun plan for next week.

Two resource units to finish RINGMAIL/HAUBERK by upgrading tailored mass manufacturing processes.

One resource unit up for grabs. I suggest we spend it on more wreckingrovers unless we're at the limit, otherwise we build the next wall or put guns on the near one.

That's the resource-intensive stuff.

Meanwhile, we equip a CTF team of veteran scouts, snipers, and fighters with the prototypes for the Teuton new RINGMAIL/LONGBOW suits and put them, along with the in-field repair system and the materials to run it, into the 12-man Majesty Helo. We send along dime diplomats, preferably also in the new armor. We send along a decent amount of fuel to use in recharging the batteries for everything. We send along an aerial drone prototype. We outfit the Helo with some missiles and other useful weapons, RPGs, crownbreakers, maybe a flamethrower, I dunno. We go visit the republic and ascertain the situation.

In order to get out of town, we ask our allies to help us in a concerted AA bombardment to clear the air and provide cover. This, along with incendiary flak shells using the right mix of materials to create smoke screens impervious to RADAR (another thing that's been around basically forever and just requires some cheaply treated carbon mixed in with the fuel), gives us air cover.

We might send along a small AA gun to do the same.

Suggestions? Comments? Secondan?

>>21575097
>dime diplomats
*some diplomats

>>21575111
here i thought you meant cheap diplomats/

>>21575097
Oh, and we can put a big fucking red cross on the side of our helicopter. Hopefully people decide not to shoot at it because of that, you never know.

>>21575097
They have thermals.

>>21575122
I would like for us to use that resource point to get our airdrones operational crank out a few and send them out with a sam missile attached

>>21575135
If the whole fucking sky is a blaze of explosives, it may not be easy to notice a nuclear-powered helicopter trailing away (plus I guess we can do our best to keep it from leaving much of a heat trail). They've probably never dealt with this sort of attempt to fuck up their detection system in decades.

However, they probably couldn't follow us even if they did know we'd been that way. We can spend the following weeks keeping up a periodic bombardment (every 15 minutes, if need be) to force them away.

Finally, we could use our new helo drone to confuse them by laying down a false trail.

>>21575169
That's not a terrible use of it, assuming we get more than like...three.

And if we spent a resource unit on building air drones, how many would we make?

>>21575205
C: Seal up the sewer tunnels.
D:Cyberwarfare
C: Build several AA guns around Light city just to piss off the Majesty.

>>21575210
aye!

Also I propose project OVERWATCH

we dedicate some of our eggheads to finding signals from space.

Also I would like to optimize our Air drone and armor production.

>>21575199
depends on the aircraft, you could slap four max on a fixed wing UAV. maybe six if you toss out the HMG.

you could fit 2 on the helo drone and then you'd have to throw out the HMG or 2 LMGs you'd throw in there.

>>21575229
What's 'several?'

The Parish and DRBL both have them, and they're pretty far away from us, which probably qualifies as 'around light city.'

How the fuck we're going to get them positioned properly without getting our shit kicked in by Majesty choppers is beyond me if we go outside current AA range.

>>21575254
I meant the aerial drones we'd get per RU there.

Would it take an RU to seal the tunnels?

>>21575205
Better manufacturing for:
RINGMAIL
LONGBOW
Air drones

>>21575210
'bout 8. less if you can find a group to sell you resources.

its adventure time guys lets go meet the republic

>>21575277
How many of them can current power output support?

How much of a resource boost would the merchants in Viktry Town give us for things like ballistic armor and basic weapons and good food and clean water?

How would that, in turn, alter our wreckingrover needs to get to four a turn?

>>21575227
1. This is an automated aircraft designed to navigate light city, you can support 6 of aerial drones maximum. The helos have roughly the same range as the fixed wings even if they can mount less weaponry.

>>21575287
no we need some type of cover

>>21575306
you can still only maintain 6 wrecking rovers. [/starcraft narrator]You must construct a larger biodiesel still or geddonite farm.[/starcraft narrator]

if you increase incentives (lets say, pistols or revolvers, antiballistic vests, combat knives, public bath house instead of a hose, and riztier food (rat stew with bisquits instead of yeast gruel) that'll pop you up to about 1/2 with the new wreckingrobo. Not that that would mean that you'd get an extra RU every other turn.

>>21575321
From what, thermal optics? That shit will only work if visibility on that spectrum is good. We can asplode bombs all over the city and obscure our tracks by flying in the opposite direction of the majesty withdrawls until we're beyond the horizon. After that they'd have to have satellite tracking, and we can do little about it except shrug and move forward anyway. Worst-case losses seem acceptable.

>>21575269
not an RU, that'dd be an action.your actions are equivilent to the number of resources you have a turn, barring assaults and stuff.

>>21575376
Im willing to do public bathhouse and better food, I am unwilling to arm them.

I vote for building 5more air drones with missiles (fixed wing) for our escort.

increasing our geddonite farming operation to several more floors.

Leaving a ru free for people to use

>>21575392
we need air drones to give our UNARMED copter some kind of overwatch defense. because id much rather loose a few airdrones then a coptor full of men.

>>21575413
>Leaving a ru free for people to use
Or for project overwatch

>>21575441
Better idea, let's see if we can get one of those satelliates up and running again. We might be able to get a hold of a image capturing sat.

>>21575403
>>21575413

Very well. My plan is amended as follows: Put >>21575097 in action, use the tactic in >>21575392 to avoid Majesty detection, use the third resource for the air drone escort as in >>21575413
and send the team out at the end of the week, tell them to stay in radio contact but to keep good discipline to minimize how trackable they are, use a new, previously unused frequency and keep the broadcast range tight to make detection harder.

Next week, we can take a break from all this research and do everything but arming the V-towners, including better hygiene, etc, and build both a rover and an expanded Geddonite farm. The week after that we make a heap of wreckingrovers and try to make it to four units a week. The week after that we get there and start more projects, possibly including OVERWATCH.

If possible this week we seal the tunnels.

>>21575441
how is building unmanned AA towers apparently at random a good idea?

>>21575485
Oh, we'll have an extra resource next week that we can put towards for example manufacturing a heap of the new armor at the new cheap price.

OP, how much power armor to the RU if we do REALLY well with mass manufacturing research?

I'm casting a vote for project overcharge, not only would that help with recharging the AB batteries quicker, but also given that geddonite grows via the addition of both matter and energy it'd assist in the creation of larger farms.

>>21575494
what?

>>21575511
I think he was aiming for >>21575229

>>21575501
>>21575485
okay.jpg

>>21575485
well you know the deal rool it, state it.

also figure out a strategic plan for overwatch that's more complex than "1: AA Towers 2: shoot at sky 3:???? 4: profit"

Okay, I woke up and the thread is still going.

Did we improve defences in Parish? I assume not, lets send 6 squads of our elite troops there. Maybe give PA to the elite soldiers of Parish too. Set up AA turrets and bring dozen or so heavy rovers.

Also, the mutant attacks. I see that no one bothered to do anything to prevent that shit happening again. The solution is simple enough. Set up trip-wires, heat sensors, sound sensors and cameras for several miles around our tower, lab and the Parish, spot-lights so that we can see them coming, build second wall around our tower.

Also, I thought that you said DBRL will give us 48 squads with 2 mutations, not 24.

Done reading prior chapter.

Suggestion:
- Improve WreckingRover, hoping for better resource returns; might need the next suggestion first
- Improve AI (better Rovers & bots); base tech from Longbow sensor & tactical upgrade
- Farming lightning on top of Tower with Ged C rods, combined with Overcharge

Questions:
- Hydroponics doing okay with this population number?
- Alternative Resources?
- Parish, Schmidt, and DRBL population estimate?

>>21575542
Also, did anyone do anything with the offers that DBRL gave us a while back? The office in our tower and resources for co-op projects? I remember something about them wanting 3 resources for something.
We should get on with that.

Damn, the fact that Majesty has those mutants means that they also have color-eyed soldiers.

>>21575530
Overwatch is finding a satellite, brah. Not shooting at the sky. The name is potentially misleading and could be better chosen.

>>21575501
eh, enough for your elite units for starters. If you get a real good roll you might be able to produce enough to make it an officer/specialist thing. Shit's complex and time intensive to put together.
as for Project overwatch, I'm just sayin, you have AA batteries, they have to be manned and supplied, and place din a manner that makes effective use of the, I have yet to see a description that takes the logistics and major effects this action would cause, please plan out project overwatch in detail.

godamnit. That is now project Stargazer so my sleep addled brain can wrap my head around it. anyway a few lucky sattelites might be left over... regardless we can do "Fine a sattelite, use it for stuff." depends on how well you roll.

>>21575613
MINES ARE DIFFERENT THAN TRAPS CONCEALED FROM LARGE ANIMALS AND MUTATED HUMANS, THOSE ARE TOO STUPID NOT TO SEE THEM

HUMANS WOULDN'T BE HURT BY ANYTHING THAT WOULD STOP A HUGE MUTANT IN ITS TRACKS

>>21575617
Is combing the skies resource intensive for anything but time? I mean, it's guys with precision instruments basically, not really anything requiring materials harvesting right?

>>21575555
Good ideas.

>>21575596

>strategic plan for overwatch

Okay fine then.

Dr. Darringeer has decided after watching some archived vids from pre-imact times has got it into her head that she needs to be looking for signals from previous satellites.

She just about commendeered the roof of the building after having several dishes made and placed them on the roof hooked up to scanning equipment. using some archived service manuals she begins scanning the skys for radio signals. Rolling for her success.

>>21575413
I vote for giving the SECURITY small arms (and perhaps some howitzers at wall towers?). At least that way they won't be slaughtered as bad as before. GF still have Crownbreakers and Heavy Gunrovers as a preventive for rebellion.

>>21575530
Instead of AA tower at random, make roving Hauberk-wearing Orange/Power Armored Crownbreakers bands to harass helos, with aerial drones surveillance.

Conserve resources from permanent structures.

And add close patrols of Heavy Gunrovers capable of taking down helos.

The hell do we need a satellite for right now?

Say we get lucky and find one, that's one turn, then we need to develop tech and build dedicated facilities to subvert it, that's another turn and resources, then we need to subvert it, one more turn.

It would be better to improve our defensive and offensive abilities instead. We should work on eliminating the Majesty.

>>21575639
Justr roll for it once poer turn, you only get the one roll, but you might get something good.

>>21575641
I expect it'll be more like
1) build telescopic array
2) use library of congress database and programming knowledge to determine what kind of signals to send to what kind of sattelites to try and commandeer them
3) try to use astrophysics projections to calculate probable satellite locations and track objects in sky to check this against
4) try to bring satellites under our command

There's got to be some kind of keyhole sattelite network still in place geosyncronously at this point.

So no one in favour of doing anything about enemies straight up walking up to our tower in middle of the night and wrecking shit?

Yeah, good job. If mutants can do it, then dedicated elite-squads of Majesty can do it too, and this time it will be even more ugly than before.

Yes, we can do something about it. The question is, what should we do that will be most effective to cover an area as fuckhueg as the 50+ miles of urban wreckage all around us?

Or was it a radius of 250 miles, OP?

okay so you rolled a critical success on finding, and hacking the security of the sattelites up in the sky.

Congratulations you're now in control of a something... throw suggestions at me.

>>21575798
Like I said.
Sensors, at least few miles outside our walls. That way we can now that something is moving towards us.
Yes, it will pick up stray animals and random scavengers, but we will be able to distinguish them from a force that is moving towards us.

>>21575822
Spy/comm satellite?

Wait no! A TV-satellite!

>>21575822
Military or spy satallietes always help. Comms sat could help us with decrypting the Majestys comm network.

>>21575798
rough radious of 250 miles of urban wreckage. You live in a literally mile high tower and you have the best industrial capacity in the wasteland. Well to your knowledge you do anyway.

>>21575822
the fabled ION cannons from Command and Conquer generals.

If that's to much to ask for then Dr. D will settle for a network of spy satellites that can provide encrypted location data.

>>21575847
>fabled ION cannons

basicaly a FUCK YOU to anything within the blast area. leaves craters and weeping widows.

>>21575837
>>21575831
Fine you have a military grade sattelite that can defend itself from attack, attack other sattelites for spare parts or take picture/vido feed of the earth. Note that other sattelites have similar self defense systems.

>>21575847
>>21575822
Just give us a friggin' KH-12 to hack into. Those are awesome. They're geosynched spysats that can send us live video footage and still photos of whatever and fire ion thrusters to reposition itself.

>>21575862
So since you originally told me to roll for my plan and nobody's actually proposed anything else (that I haven't incorporated to some degree), do we get to use those high rolls up there for the mass manufacturing upgrades for RINGMAIL/LONGBOW and Echo's suggested drone manufacturing?

That assumes we can use it instantly.

You can have the eithy..three was it? Whatever you can have that roll. The 90s gavce you a military spy sattelite.

Basically the sattelites of the far future year of 2200 devour one naother in a never enduring war for dominance/survival. So you have to use your sattelite wisely and roll a survival roll every turn to make sure it isn't devoured by a bigger, nastier sattelite.

nope. That roll was handily wasted. Space is a high stakes game.

anyway what am I using that 86 for?

I'm fine with your decision, but let's clarify that I wasn't even aware we could roll to scan for satellites. I was rolling in light of you telling me to roll in a post where you quoted my plan and said to go for it, here: >>21575530

I rolled around fortyish, and then someone rolled a 91 in an effort to help here >>21575711
Then I figured what the hell, roll for other projects, and got a 92 here >>21575723

If I need to roll again due to confusion, that's fine, but those were intended for RINGMAIL/LONGBOW and again, nobody seems to be protesting to that as long as we seal off some tunnels and steal spysats.

OP, you should do something about update speed.
Lately it's taking too long.
Yeah, we have many ideas and arguing but it is because we want to do so much at once. I have like 4 different ideas on what to do at any time.

You should cut down the time for making suggestions and make some deadline or something.

>>21575988
Aside from the fact that it wasn't my roll on the 86, you could use it for RINGMAIL, LONGBOW, or building some escort aerial drones like Echo mentioned here >>21575413

Your sattelite enters the fight with the comm bots, an illtimes micrometeorite destroys on of its manuvering thrusters and it takes minro damage from the comm bots.

Your sattelite retreats to search for space junk to nurse its wounds. You can no longer use the sattelite for this week.

>>21576015
Given that our satellite's down for at least a week, are you okay going with my plan as it stands to send out the helo with our team?

>>21576027
yes lets rock.

Okay you build a fixed wing air drone and equip it with missiles and an HMG. You also equip your prototype aerial drone with missiles and an HMG. You give your 'copter drone a pair of LMGs.

You have 3 aerial drones., you can support 3 more aerial drones.

>>21576037
So we have more or less approached consensus.

Tell us what needs to be rolled for, OP.

>>21576003
But it takes too loooooong

In essence, a veteran team of mutated toughness+agility troops, crownbreaker snipers, scouts, and good fighters plus some diplomats, all in the new RINGMAIL/LONGBOW suits, with some gunrovers and a field repair unit and enough fuel and batteries to last them the trip.

We paint a red cross on the helo while we're at it, not to mention arm it with missiles, machine guns, RPGs, and possibly a Crownbreaker or several, and we send out a drone escort with it. In addition, we lay down a huge amount of thermal cover, smoke screens, and AA bombardment to clear the air and confuse thermal tracking, then fly with that cover between us and the probable location of the majesty base until we clear the horizon. And we fly low, under the radar and thermals as much as we can until we're safe.

Then we go for the signal.

In the meantime, we put down covering AA fire every quarter-hour or so back in Light City to make it hard for Majesty aircraft to patrol the area and gain any intelligence. We stay in disciplined contact with our CTF on narrow, previously chosen frequencies. And we see what happens.
