IT IS NOW THE DESIGN PHASE.

Spoiler: TR Armory (click to show/hide)

Weaponry

Overseer Battle Rifle: The standard weapon for TR-supplied forces, the semi-automatic Overseer fires 7.62mm rounds from it's 20-round magazine. It's most effective at Close and Medium ranges, but is accurate enough that even with standard iron sights a skilled marksman could pick off distant targets. Usable by: All Classes (CHEAP)

Adjutant Pistol: An extremely reliable 10mm pistol capable of highly accurate semi-auto fire. Holds a 12-round magazine and utilizes red glow sights for better target acquisition. Very comfortable to use, and easy to fix in-field in case of a very rare failure. Most effective at Close range. Usable by: All Classes (CHEAP)

Imperator Sniper Rifle: A 10mm bolt-action sniper rifle designed to take targets out at Long and Extreme ranges. It uses a 5-round magazine and comes with a 4-8x Scope. Usable by: Infiltrators (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Bulldog LMG: A 7.62mm Light Machine Gun that can be quite cumbersome to fire from the hip or shoulder and benefits greatly from it's bipod. It uses a 60-round box magazine or can be belt-fed with 100 round belts. The Bulldog fires at 650 RPM and is most effective at Medium ranges. Usable by: Heavy Assaults (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Class-Defining Equipment

Basic Nanite Cloaking System: A small module that uses Nanites to divert light around the wearer. It provides invisibility to the naked eye for twelve seconds before requiring a full minute to recharge, though movement drains charge much faster. Infiltrator Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Basic Jump Pack: A backpack utilizing jet boosters to provide upward thrust in order to reach high ground or reduce speed when descending. The boost can be sustained for five seconds before needing to recharge for twenty seconds. Light Assault Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Basic Medical Applicator: A small handgun-shaped healing tool that uses Nanites to mend wound slowly (for active battlefield standards) and is unable to Revivify fallen comrades before the Nanite Revivication Process respawns them at a secured base. Combat Medic Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Savior Heavy Medical Applicator: A large rifle-like healing tool capable of "linking" to multiple targets, reducing the amount of work it does for each individual. Due to it's size and bulk it also takes the place of the Primary Weapon slot. Can be continuously used thanks to a nanite generator connected by tubes and carried on the lower back. Combat Medic Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

--Herald Heavy Medical Applicator: A somehow more cumbersome, but more effective, variant of the Savior. Connects directly to OmniVisor Helmets when available. The size and weight of the equipment takes up the Primary Weapon slot as well as an Auxiliary slot. Combat Medic Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

TR Repair Tool v2: A device that uses Nanites to mend constructions and vehicles. This Terrestrial Reserve design utilizes heat sinks to keep the tool from overheating as quickly as the standard model under extended usage, and liquid cooling as well as an extra nanite generator increases mending abilities further. Quickly overheats without replacement coolant cartridges, and is slightly more susceptible to battlefield wear and tear. Engineer Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Basic Overshield Generator: A module that, when activated, projects a mesh of Hard Light against it's user. This shielding can deflect or absorb some incoming fire but will fail under a significant or sustained attack. The barrier can be held for thirty seconds and requires two minutes without use to fully recharge. Heavy Assault Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Basic TR Neurohelmet: A helmet with a complex neural interface allowing Pilots to assume direct control of many of a vehicle's systems. Directional controls still utilize conventional methods. The helmet filters feedback so the human mind isn't melted by, say, a massive hole being blown in the craft taking out multiple systems. The system provides a significant boost to a Pilot's abilities at the cost of needing up to five minutes to interface with the Pilot before every use. Pilot Class Item (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Auxiliary Equipment

Extra Cooling Cartridges: Spare cartridges meant for the TR Repair Tool v2's liquid cooling system. An extra pouch of these goes a long way. Usable by: Engineers (EXPENSIVE)

Upgraded Omnivisor Suite: A major upgrade to current TR helmets, adding brainwave scanners and a multifunctional visor. The visor can switch between Black-Hot and White-Hot Thermal Imaging, Low-Light-Night Vision Mode, and an IFF identifier mode that outlines infantry in force-specific colors. A pair of buttons in a small compartment control IFF and comms. signal power. A signal spoofer continues giving hackers false information while they are disconnected. Mouth vents open when comms. are turned off. Usable by: All Classes (CHEAP)

Legacy of Terra Standard Armor: Sleek carapace armor capable of reducing the damage caused by infantry-sized weapons and increasing survivability from the larger ones. Contains an Upgraded OmniVisor Suite as well as a built-in nanite generator for very basic first aid. The suit can be sealed and has a few hours of life support. Usable by: All Classes, requires 2 Auxiliary Slots (EXPENSIVE)

Vehicles

Renderer Armored Troop Transport: The Renderer is a tracked troop transport capable of holding eight fully-loaded passengers as well as the driver and gunner. It's 35mm armor protects it from small-arms fire, and it has a max speed of 70km/h on favorable terrain. A 30mm autocannon capable of hitting 400 RPM is mounted on the top of the Renderer, is capable of 360 degree traversal, and is controlled remotely by the gunner in the vehicle. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Teamster Armoured Logistics Truck: A Renderer that's been stripped down and hollowed out to allow transport of an increased number of men (16) and materials. Speed of the vehicle maxes out at 95km/h, though an Ammo Fabrication trailer can be attached, bringing it's speed back down to around 70km/h. The turret is replaced with a hatch and the sides swing open thanks to hinges at the top. (EXPENSIVE)

"Workforce" Engineering Vehicle: A Renderer-based construction truck that uses an open bed containing a large Nanite Manufactory and deployment system in order to break down and clear land to facilitate construction of basic structures. Comes with two basic Prefab blueprints.  Nanites can replicate steel, iron, and concrete. Building components have a (limited) snap-to ability. Uses treads and can hit 60km/h. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Thunderer Self-Propelled Artillery Piece: A Renderer with it's roof completely remodeled to accommodate an open-top turret housing a Hail Artillery Piece. Armor was cut down to 15mm to alleviate weight issues with the added gun, and it can still tow an Ammo Fabricator while keeping up with it's relatives. Deployable struts provide additional stability. The turret fires at a steady 8 RPM. Deployment is tied to the cost of the Hail, with the expense level here being it's absolute limit. (EXPENSIVE)

"Hail" Artillery Piece: A 105mm cannon capable of engaging targets at Extreme Range and beyond. Utilizes HE and HE/AP rounds for soft and hard targets as well as airburst flechette for soft targets in the open. Mounted on a carriage with ready rack towable by a Teamster. Target areas can be guesstimated based on laser designation. (EXPENSIVE)

"Destroyer" Main Battle Tank: An MBT with a 125mm autoloading cannon, a 12.7mm machine gun, 105mm-150mm armor, and bricks of Explosive Reactive Armor over vital parts of the tank. The tank is capable of traveling at 60km/h. (EXPENSIVE)

Wasp VTOL Strike-Fighter: The Wasp is a small, nimble aircraft capable of performing tight maneuvers but suffers from practically nonexistent armoring. They can reach 600km/h and can utilize a single 20mm five-barrel rotary cannon installed in the nose as well as 12 rockets split between two pods that are capable of remote control via Neurohelmet. (EXPENSIVE)

Osprey VTOL Transport: The Osprey can transport four soldiers to a combat zone thanks to 35mm armoring and can provide cover or clear an LZ with the nose-mounted 20mm and a total of 24 rockets. Utilizes a Revivication Chamber as a "mobile" spawning point, but is unable to use it while in-flight. Can reach speeds of 280km/h. (VERY EXPENSIVE)

Other

Core Fusion Reactor: A large, very sensitive cold-fusion reactor used as an auxiliary power source for bases and defensive positions. Vibration often causes a shut-down, as do power fluctuations. Needs to be deployed in controlled territory. (NATIONAL EFFORT)

Panzer-Grenadier-Battalion "Donnerschlag"
Favoured Equipment: Tanks, IFVs, SP-Artillery.
Methods of Engagement:
-Strategic: Strategically, the Donnerschlag battalion is used as a spearhead unit, breaking through the weakest point in the enemy lines in order to encircle and cut off an enemy strongpoint. Using it's superior firepower, protection and mobility afforded to it as an armoured unit, it is capable of chewing through an enemy line in short order.
-Tactical: The Donnerschlag Battalion is relatively flexible, given the armoured units the unit possesses and the support options available.

TR-H1 Anchor (Auxillary Slot, Heavy Assault, Light Assault)

The first dedicated "Heavy Weapon" by the TR, the Anchor is at first appearance similar to a conventional rocket launcher. However, instead of rockets, it fires high-density uranium alloy tipped penetrator spears that penetrate enemy vehicle armor at high velocity and then expand to lock the dart into place. The dart is attached to a carbon composite nanofiber cable that unspools as the dart fires.The launcher has a built in "Anchor" mode, in which a small construction nanite cluster on the back of the launcher builds an anchoring spike for the cable (at it's current length) into the surface the launcher is placed against. The launcher can detach the cable by unlatching open, to allow the setup of multiple cables.

In addition, the Anchor comes with an alternative firing mode: tripwire. In Tripwire mode, an IR beam (range of a few hundred meters) is rigged to fire the harpoon when broken. This process is hardcoded, and also triggers the anchor feature on impact.

This weapon can be reloaded, though it is time consuming.

Revision ideas:
Remote control module for when we're against the NC.
Tripod that can anchor to allow anti-air usage more easily.

Sentinel Guided Missile Launcher (MANPAD/MANPAT; Secondary Slot for Heavy Assault.)
With the likelihood that encounters with both enemy aircraft and armour very much certain, the necessity of a weapon that gives our infantry to fight these vehicles is a necessity. With a multi-spectrum sensor to ensure a minimum of false-positives, Necessary due to the existence of the hawk, The Sentinel is able to accurately acquire and destroy targets within range and boasting a warhead developed to blow through the Hephaestus tank NC has deployed, and guided through a mixture of IR and UV spectrum sensors (Which can be disabled as expediency and/or VS hacker requires). Furthermore, to further bolster reliability, the sentinel is capable of using both fire & forget and laser-guided munitions.

[Failbird105]

Grenades have proven themselves quite effective when utilized by NC forces. They, being who they are went out of their way to create some sticky gun-launched plasma thing, we imagine we can most likely achieve similar effect without spending all our time adding extra 'experimental' features. Thus, we dusted off the old Shattershell. It's a frag grenade, no fancy extras or gimmicks. An inner core of explosives, surrounded by a perforated casing made to separate into evenly sized and shaped pieces. Just pull the pin, it starts the five second fuse, and then it explodes at the end. So make sure it's out of your hand by the time the five seconds are up.

The Neurohelmet is frankly a wonder of a thing. The main problem, of course, is that, well, it's old news at this point. We've already had the Neurohelmet for some time now, what the higher-ups want is something new and fresh. So the question then becomes, what do we do to improve upon it? Refining and miniaturizing the general hardware of the helmet itself is possible, though the much harder option given the current limits of our knowledge. The easier option meanwhile, is also the one that provides the most large scale change.

Where the Neurohelmet was, well, just a helmet, the plugsuit is a full body suit. Some amount of padding is applied to this suit, though no more than our old standard non-LoT armor. The main draw of the plugsuit however, is that while the Neurohelmet can only connect straight to the head, the plugsuit allows the Pilot to plug themselves in at several places along the spine as well. The increased number of connection points means greater bandwidth for the neural connection, which in-turn means faster initial linking and faster(if perhaps only slightly) response times.

Our Pilots unique capabilities provide us with a major advantage in the realm of vehicular warfare that our enemies simply can't properly match. That being: Agility. The problem of course, is that due to making all of our current vehicles able to be controlled by non-Pilots, we're forced to make sacrifices, both in the vehicles capability, and in terms of adding limited manual controls.
The Skirmisher does away with that entirely. Instead of standard manual controls, such as pedals, steering wheels, switches, buttons, and levers, the Skirmisher is controlled entirely through the pilots Neurotech. This allows us to save the space that we would otherwise have to dedicate to controls, and allows us to give it much more complex and versatile steering than we could with a centralized wheel.

From the outside, the Skirmisher looks a lot like a sort of metal box, with the wheels attached at the corners on separate 'limbs' that look similarly like metal boxes, but with a wheel at the bottom. It is not entirely rectangular of course, but it gives a very blocky impression. In contrast to its name as an ATV, it is also fully enclosed. The Pilot lays in a rather cramped cockpit. With a direct camera feed transmitted directly through the physical connection either to their Omnivisor(replacing their normal sight), or projected onto the inside of the cockpit itself if they're not wearing one. The 'limbs' that the Skirmishers wheels are attached to meanwhile, can individually move around the corner of the vehicle that they're attached to. This allows the Skirmisher to theoretically move directly sideways, raise or lower them to permit easier traversal of rough ground, or even spin completely in place, perhaps even while in motion if the Pilot is particularly skilled.

In terms of weaponry, the Skirmisher is generally rather lightly armed, being meant for fighting infantry rather than enemy vehicles. Its armaments consist of a pair of Bulldog LMGs, one on each side of the vehicle. Additionally, to lessen size and allow for greater speed, the Skirmisher is rather lightly armored. Infantry rifles are able to penetrate its armor, let alone proper vehicle weaponry. It relies on its great speed and maneuverability to run circles around enemy infantry, while gunning them down with heavy weaponry.

Others have brought up the possibility of VS Operators hacking into the vehicle and causing problems for the Pilot within. Thus, similarly to the Omnivisor, any form of wireless accessability can be disabled by the Pilot.

An old option brought back and two new ones put forward.

Wallflower Satchel Printer (Auxiliary, Light Assault/Infiltrator)

The Wallflower is an upgraded nanite ammunition printer, with a focus on speed. It only prints 40mm fragmentation grenades, but does so very quickly. It is a small box with rigid carrying handles, about the size of a lunch box, and has a 40mm launch tube sticking out by 2 inches. The printer has two buttons - Cut and Print.

The "Cut" feature uses deconstruction nanites from a small integrated generator to cut hole just large enough for the launch tube through to the other side of a surface (limit ~1m)

The "Print" button starts or stops the frag grenade printer. Each grenade is launched by a small powder charge that is printed alongside it, and is a 40mm diameter spherical fragmentation grenade with a 3 second timer.

Much as I am fond of the Fuze bombs, I feel like proper infantry based anti-vehicle munitions are a must. They'll likely make our Heavies quite a bit more expensive, but frankly, I feel like that's worth the benefit.

Plus, since I've already got plans for improving their Class Defining gear in a way that should nicely decrease cost regardless, it should all even out in, like, a turn or two.

I honestly feel that our anti-infantry is our weak point. Our vehicles have seen most of our designs and revisions, and we only really won the VS matchup because of our vehicles. While I'm not opposed to the Sentinel, I just personally prefer a more infantry focused design at this time. (Also, I do think we should lean into having good tanks, but we can't keep neglecting the soldies.)

[Man of Paper]

Turn 2 Design Phase

Proposal: Sentinel Guided Missile Launcher
Difficulty: Easy
Result: (2+1)+1=4, Poor

The Sentinel should have been a fairly easy product to develop, especially as we'd focused development of the weapon system specifically for our Heavy Assaults. While things didn't go smoothly, we still managed to produce a workable weapon.

The Sentinel takes the shape of a metal tube with a boxy sight, both trigger and forward grips, and a shoulderpad for bracing. The sight, while it doesn't actually give much magnification, provides both standard and thermal imaging, and has a small laser designator installed. The lack of magnification makes lock-on targeting of distant or clustered targets something of a challenge. The laser designator also requires a target be constantly painted during the duration of flight, meaning the user needs to remain exposed after firing.

The missiles themselves could also use a bit of work. While they communicate with the launcher well enough, the space required for electronic equipment while simultaneously giving the missiles the ability to take on enemy MBTs and remain man-portable means there is little room for fuel. Maximum firing range on the Sentinel suffers greatly as a result, making it most effective at Medium range, with absolute maximum falling within Long Range. This makes them highly unsuitable for antiaircraft work, as even if a Sentinel gets a lock and fires, the missiles burn fuel too quickly to follow an aircraft through evasive maneuvers.

The Sentinel Guided Missile Launcher, in a massive shock to all involved in it's development, doesn't take off well among the soldiers. The Anti-tank capability is welcome, but limited munitions, limited range, and being told "oh this will totally work against aircraft too" by Marketing when it actually doesn't sees the Sentinel deploy at (VERY EXPENSIVE), and is Usable by Heavy Assaults as a Secondary Weapon.

The missiles are still cumbersome on their own, resulting in only a few rounds deployed alongside each launcher. A soldier can be equipped with Extra Sentinel Missiles, but they only come in a pair for each Auxiliary Slot equipped with them. Each set of missiles is (EXPENSIVE), since nobody really likes the system itself, so getting more ammo for it isn't really anyone's top priority.

[Failbird105]

The Core should have been a cornerstone of our defensive efforts, enormous size or no. Yet as is, it's practically too broken to even use. Being that we're about to be on the defensive, it's important this does not remain the case. This needs to be solved.

The first thing is to, as one designer put it, tell the nanites to "cool their tits", or, in more serious terms, make them react more reasonably. The range for how major a power fluctuation has to be before the Nanites respond. Of course, we have made certain the range is not too large. After all, a generator that shuts down when it shouldn't is far better than one that doesn't when it should.
We would have similarly worked on the 'shuts down from excessive vibrations' issue, but thus far, the members of the team who designed the thing have refused to tell anyone where the exact problem lies, nor allow us to see the blueprints in enough detail to figure it out ourselves. In fact, it's entirely possible that settling the Nanites tempers has already solved it. Until this wonton disobedience is dealt with however, we've decided to simply reduce the amount of vibrations the generator can receive.

As such, we've added some basic shock absorbers. This way, we can trust that the device will work at least until the building it is directly contained in is being bombarded.

Core fixes. Would have fixed the vibration issue directly, but there's no information given as to what's causing the issue, so it'll stay like this for the time being.

Make Missile Gooder
It boggles the mind that a simple electronics package can take up a significant portion of a missile's mass. Just because some designers like to take inspiration from 20th-century technology, doesn't mean we actually have to use 20th-century electronics in our equipment. Fire whoever is responsible, and replace the electronics package with a more reasonably sized version, thereby allowing for an increased fuel capacity.

Sentinel Improvement Program
With the issues arising from the Sentinel's electronics package and fuel supply, the improvement program for the sentinel involves dealing with both of these issues effectively. Utilising a newer, nano-packed fuel sources, and a more efficient electronics package improves both ammunition capacity and fuel capacity and efficiency, ameliorating the range issues and ensuring the launcher is able to be used practically against aircraft.

Cerberus Auto Cannon Array:

While we deal with vehicles and have vehicles this is fine. But we need a weapon to deal with all targets. A family of two guns, same make but different size.

The first model is a squad carry heavy machine with a single barrel, using our most advanced munitions in terms of delivery and storage. The biggest kick is the ammo itself. Massive slugs of reactive cores that when they strike, in moments of impact it releases an proverbial hell storm of heat upon the target.

The bullet does damage, then the burns, the target is on fire and makes target easier to be shit by combined ally fire.

The second model is for our vehicles, which is our strong point. Here the Cannon is a true barreled model that depots bullets at a much faster rate of speed, scale I’m too s and same result. Against a vehicle target that needs wiring and fuel, it is unfortunate for them as it is met to shoot into them and make them go boom.


Aside those ideas had an idea from X Com ( that’s always popular.)

Holo Bullets: Patterned display rounds that give off display lights to mark them in flight for the purpose to better hit targets, especially air craft.
