I'm not sure if I get the resources system.

As the USAA we control the West Upper Atmosphere, East LEO, and 1 part of West LEO.

So,  shouldn't we have 2 ore, 4 chemicals?

Wait, what are the stats on the USAA's anti satellite missiles?  I do not see them developed anywhere.  Are they firing the air to air missiles into LEO?

I'm pretty sure the missiles were designed as part of designing the satellite that mounts them. This kind of thing is why it is usually better to design a sniper rifle then a scope, as if you do the sniper rifle the scope comes with the rifle. (Though, to be fair, just doing the scope usually results in a better scope then if it was rolled into something else)

But it doesn't really matter if the missiles are crap or not, the targets they're aimed at have no armor and can't dodge.

GUNIN hasn't updated our weapon list with any of our new developments yet as far as I can tell. There's certainly no Type 700 ASAT on the list.

He's talking about our Missile.

It's not included. Maybe GM error, maybe Sekrit spy action.

No you got it right. Count is fixed after attempted sabotage by cowardly French spies.

French spies erased them from the spoiler. Should be all better now.

Our autocannon still has it's cost listed wrong, but that's no problem.

Could we please take everyone: involved in the engineering of the Sunrise, working in the factories that manufactures the Sunrise, operated the launches of the Sunrises, or who has in the last year seen the sun make its way over the horizon and then have them thoroughly interviewed and potentially their employment availability reevaluated? I hear there's a shortage of sewage technicians.

The sealing of lips aside, that immediate countermeasure stings. I was hoping we'd get a year of orbital advantage before the USSA realised that you're not the only ones who could launch satellites.

Spoiler: A Personal Report From The USSA (click to show/hide)

I wake at 3.00* and slip into my best jumpsuit. Yesterday's jumpsuit is missing one sleeve due to testing on the CLASSIFIED yesterday, so I drop it into the apartment block's recycling shoot before I leave. I bump into my neighbour in the hallway and though I'm still full from my waffle rations I accept when he offers me a blackmarket fortune cookie. My fortune says "Solidarity Is A Warm Manatee". I dismiss it as cryptodengist propaganda but I worry that it's tainted me on a deeper level. It's a warm August morning in Engelville and my spirits lift to see the sun briefly pierce through the smog on the other side of the dome. The 3.20 tram arrives on time and I squeeze onto a bench. The Premier is giving an address on the tram's television but I can't hear it over the hum of the engine.

By 3.40 I am at the office. I put in a decimal hour as a secretary, an hour as a cleaner, an hour as a critical critic, and then finally it is time for my weapon design work. I meet the other designers on the top floor. A large globe dangles from the ceiling, little lead models of our satellites hang around it. Originally they orbited in a realistic fashion and that's why Comrade Jeremy only has one eye. The walls are covered in chalk boards detailing measures, countermeasures, and countercountermeasures. One of my comrades is trying to convince us that a countercountermeasure is just a measure but she is not thinking about it deep enough. We spend some time discussing design possibilities based on our latest intelligence. Unlike bourgeois designers in other nations we do not waste time considering egotistic superweapons. We rationally consider what needs there are and how we may best fulfil them, like any good bureaucrat.

At 8.00 exactly I leave the office and take a walk down 43rd Street. I turn right on the intersection of 22nd and head along two blocks until I reach my mistress's apartment. I learn that she was reported by her neighbour's daughter for listening to subversive music and the apartment committee called her up on it. She denied the charges and a search of her room had only found some old Woody Guthrie records. I don't disbelieve her but I cannot allow this sort of connection to damage my good work at the Design Hub and I call off our relations. In a sombre mood I walk back up 22nd and stop to pick up a soylent burger from a vendor. The comrade takes my ration chit and chats with me as he fries the onions. He says he just got off work in the missile factory and you wouldn't believe the glorious improvements they're making, especially with the CLASSIFIED on the CLASSIFIED. I mentally note the name on his badge so I can report him. Manny Tevero. Manny T. I remember the fortune cookie and look at his wide grin. It's good to be a fully committed citizen, his heart is in the right place. I drop the infraction. Later, at 9.00 when I am in apartment, writing up my block management reports, after greasing the lift shaft and giving old Tabitha her medication and watering the tomatoes on the roof, I realise that I do not feel bad about not reporting Manny but I feel bad about not feeling bad. I vow not to eat another cryptodengist cookie. At 10.00 I go to sleep and dream of jet planes. I wake at 3.00.


*7.20AM for those not used to decimal time. A decimal hour is 144 of your bourgeois minutes.

War, war never changes.

Well...

It doesn't when the thread isn't updated.

GUNIN left Bay12.

[notquitethere]

That's a shame. How do you know? (I can't see any flounce posts.)

Honestly, what else was there to design? We had an air to air weapon, an air to ground weapon, and only missed a anti-space weapon.

My original plan was a helicopter, but Gunin said that would be useless.

GUNIN left Bay12.

He told us on IRC. HE asked Toady to ban him, because he was spending too much time here.

Aww. It would have been nice if he told us  . Goodbye, Guninrunnin, may a fleet of giant armed robots sing the to they rest (with gunfire).
