[Man of Paper]

Not locking yet since votes just started coming in and a couple people aren't represented, but in the case of a clear victor shall we do a second quick round of credit votes, or are you fine with me going with majority there? I ask because some people voting for a losing design might tip the scales in the do/do not use credit vote, and I want youse all to have input on how it's handled.

[Doomblade187]

I think we should have a second credit vote.

[Kashyyk]

Why do we need the Icarus? We're already winning in the air. Getting more air superiority is pointless, unless we know that the Saltvios are also going for air superiority this turn. Which, unless there was an OpSec leak, we do not.

Fair enough, we could use some more time to vote: I think the reason a lot of us have votes on the icarus is because we don't have many other detailed designs floating around.

Edit:

Gandiva Assault Gun

The body of the assault gun has about the same outer dimensions as the kingmaker hovercar, with all four corners rounded and a low profile of about 1.5m in the interior of the main body. The body is interrupted by the shape of a 5m long, 155mm caliber cannon mounted on the top of the body, the base of the cannon built into a higher profile section in the back of the tank, about 2m tall. A scythe with a belt feed ammo box is attached to the top of the assault gun, right of the main cannon, on a mount with 15mm steel shield protecting anyone using it, with a hole for the scythe's ironsights and some surrounding view. The main cannon is an 155mm semiautomatic modified from our gorgon artillery, and is loaded by a manually fed side-load by the semiautomatic mechanism. It can fire HE shells. Shells are ejected into a spent shell container on the right of the gun. The gun is mounted on two hydraulic rails in the transition between the barrel and the chassis, and the mount slides back into a thick k-wool rubber pad with each shot to absorb recoil. Sighting the gun is performed through a scope built into the tank, and the gun position can be adjusted by a few high tooth count gears by the gunner. The top of the tank has two hatches behind the gun and two in front. All lock from the inside. The armor is 60mm thick across and under the tank. The tank is lifted by powdered caelium tubes embedded in the middle of the chassis along structural members, and the propulsion has two grain aligned c-steel powered rods with null steel caps on the interior. There is a pair for each side of the tank. A fluid level gauge/accelerometer can be used to determine the current motion of the tank, and is used to enable the tank to come to a stable stop for optimal shooting.

Looks like the scales are tipping towards the icarus. While I won't lock the vote right yet, if you could preemptively start another botevox for everyone to decide whether or not to use the credit on the icarus, that'd be tops. Votes for using the credit won't go towards votes for the design of you want to vote for something else but don't mind the credit usage.

Coat Of Arms

Using the technology of spinning mineral wool out of molten stone, we can create a hefty overcoat of arms for our soldiers. Aimed to cover the torso and part of the legs, the mineral wool is sandwiched between two layers of durable weave k-wool. The mineral wool particles are bound with a light layer and other chemicals to avoid dusting, and the tunic has arm and head holes for easy donning and removal. Respirstory masks are recommended to be worn in combat to ensure lung safety.

Royal Abbera Assault Cannon

A halberd with a 25mm gun shield and a full auto firing mode, adapted to use a belt feed of 40mm shells. It stands on a tripod that is deployable, with k-wool padding at both the tripod and the stock. The barrel doesn't use any caelium- the only caelium in the design esixts to lighten the gun while carrying, and is turned off before firing. Optimal belt size is 50 to 100 shells.

[Doubloon-Seven]

I like the the Coat of Arms, but I'm not a fan of the RAAC. Here's something more like what I'd like as an autohalberd.

The Halberd has served Abbera's armies well in the fight for Harren. Yet the Salviosi still have superior firepower, at least when it comes to machine guns.

The time has come to change this.

As a machine gun, the Bardiche sports a firing mechanism in the vein of the Scythe, yet scaled up to handle the increased size of the 40mm round, now found in belts of 75 rounds. Due to the increased firing rate, we have persisted in our use of the K-Wool recoil reducing pads, despite the fact that the Bardiche is not intended to be man portable.

Instead, it rests on a wide elevated tripod, with rails so that the weapon can be racked up to aim higher than would normally be possible. On a leg of this tripod comes a small Prometheum battery, just enough to power the electrified barrel that still remains from the Halberd, now cooled by a shroud in which nodules hold D-Prometheum dust mixed into gelatin.

Indeed, not much remains, for the gravitic weight reduction of the Halberd has been stripped out, to make room for the firing mechanism and to ensure accuracy of the rounds fired.

As accessories, the standard iron sights can be screwed out and replaced with aperture sights, or a gun shield can be fitted to protect the operator.

Sidenote: if we do the bardiche this turn, we just do the icarus next turn with a body mounted bardiche, and get an actual A-10 warthog, and as doubloon suggested, throw it on the Orleans as well.

Edit:
If we want to use our +1 from salvosi salt, we can do this:

Bardiche v2:

The Halberd has served Abbera's armies well in the fight for Harren. Yet the Salviosi still have superior firepower, at least when it comes to machine guns.

The time has come to change this.

As a machine gun, the Bardiche sports a firing mechanism in the vein of the Scythe, yet scaled up to handle the increased size of the newly rechambered 60mm round, now found in belts of 60 rounds. Despite the increased firing rate, we have actually removed some of the K-Wool recoil reducing pads due to the fact that the Bardiche is not intended to be man portable.

Instead, it rests on a wide elevated tripod, with rails so that the weapon can be racked up to aim higher than would normally be possible. On a leg of this tripod comes a small Prometheum battery, just enough to power the electrified barrel adapted from the Halberd, now cooled by a shroud in which nodules hold D-Prometheum dust mixed into gelatin.

As accessories, the standard iron sights can be screwed out and replaced with aperture sights, or a gun shield can be fitted to protect the operator.

[Doubloon-Seven]

60mm is a bit absurd. 40mm fully automatic on a tripod instead of a gun carriage is already a bit absurd, but it should work. 60mm is funny though.

[Man of Paper]

Right so to simplify your guyses votes, let's knock it down to the Icarus and Bardiche (sorry Kashyyk)
In order to speed up the process though while you only vote for one design, vote for whether or not you're using a credit for each.

[TheFantasticMsFox]

Updated the Icarus, key points being no wood, only aluminum, C-steel, and K-woll resin plates construction. ALso added an other halberd and added ammo, and 80mm HE shells.
