I believe it is also important to note one more thing - we didn't swashbuckle a whole darn factory world from the corrupt military government so that we could better scavenge their attacking forces' equipment.

I like the way you used 'swashbuckle' there. Gives me the mental image of our forces entering the planet swinging from ropes swinging cutlasses around. Pirate hats and parrots might be involved.

Clearly you giant robot overlords need synthflesh parrot attachments.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Quickly, to the tinker thread! After our support ponies, our next great military advancement will be remote controlled parrots.

Weapons Carrier?  Aren't ornithopters highly inefficient?  At best, they'd only be useful on worlds with flying critters that they could imitate.

...Actually, Wikipedia says Ornithopters are more efficient than helicopters.  It's saying the same about fixed-wing, but it's not really giving reasons why.

Then again, efficiency isn't really something that anyone worries about in ER.  Electricity is almost free, and rocket fuel is apparently extremely energy dense.  So maneuverability is probably more important, and a multirotor has almost anything beat there.

They're probably still quieter though.  So they'd be useful as reconnaissance vehicles.

Eh, just glue some feathers to a scout eye.

Scout eyes are rocket propelled.  They're near impossible to hide without space magic, and easily taken out with heat seeking weapons.

...ARM should really develop a man-portable heat seeking weapon, considering how much the UWM's aerial units rely on rockets.  I'll add it to my tinker projects list, I guess...

I can totally see that ending well. Xan, no. Parrots do not have tentacles.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

That's to be expected. A parrot living with an eldritch abomination would parrot whatever the Redditch abomination said. And probably be corrupted as a result.
