Turn 2 Revision

Proposal: Core Stabilization Refinement
Difficulty: Very Easy
Result: (2+1)+2=5, Below Average

Well, it isn't perfect, but we managed to do it to a degree. The Core Fusion Reactor is stabilized in both senses of the word. The reaction is better regulated by nanites within the device, and it is now secured within a shock-absorbing framework of pistons, springs, and metal. The Core Fusion Reactor works kind of as intended, save for the fact that it's even larger and uses more material to construct, making it less attractive to potential customers. It remains a (NATIONAL EFFORT) but can actually provide power to a sector reliably.

----------------

IT IS NOW THE STRATEGY PHASE!

Pick a hex to attack, how to deploy your Outfit and any potential National Efforts, and adjust any loadouts you want to switch around.

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, Secondary Weapon (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)

Sentinel Guided Missile Launcher: A Shoulder-Mounted Missile Launcher with standard and thermal optics. Laser designation requires constant input, exposing users. Locking on is iffy at a distance or against clustered signatures, but that doesn't matter as much with it's Long maximum range. Low fuel makes missiles highly unsuited to AA work, but the warhead is effective enough to blast a hole in most armored vehicles we should expect to see. Usable by: Heavy Assaults, Secondary Weapon (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)

Extra Sentinel Missiles: A pair of extra Sentinel missiles to add a little more reusability when resupply isn't readily available. Usable by: Heavy Assaults (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 massive cold-fusion reactor used as an auxiliary power source for bases and defensive positions. Reliable but costly to build. Can only be deployed Defensively. (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.

Okay, so. I like C-6 over A-2 for several reasons:
  -First, A-2 (and C-8) feature a lot of underground fighting, where neither our artillery nor aircraft will be usable. The dense ruins are not idea either, but they're better than a tunnel.
  -Second, we know we can beat VS, we don't know if we can beat NC. Obviously VS might've developed tech that makes that not true anymore, but I figure it's better odds than facing NC (who can also beat VS, and have the medic advantage thing).
  -Third, if captured, it would prevent C-4 from being cut off, unlikely as that is to be a concern.

I also included directives for our outfit to follow, since I was re-reading the rules and we're encouraged to do so.

Bastion Defensive Network Centre

With our CORE power generators finally able to be deployed in an effective manner, the Bastion is intended to serve as a combination of network hub, defensive position and spawn point for our forces. Equipped with eight spawners, the Bastion is capable of sustaining a large force in it's area and rapidly reinforcing in case of an enemy assault on the bunker itself, it's defensive capabilities bolstered by the 12 turrets embedded on the structure; Eight on the top of the structure, armed with twin sentinel launchers and fed via ammo fabricator to ensure a steady stream of missiles flowing from the launchers, and four twin bulldog turrets arrayed around the bottom of the structure to suppress and eliminate enemy infantry. All twelve turrets are manned rather than automated, both to protect against VS operators and to simplify design costs.

The biggest benefit of the Bastion however, is it's network and sensor systems. With a wide-spectrum array of sensors and a formidable network emitter the Bastion is capable of detecting, pinpointing and co-ordinating the elimination of enemy forces into the sector it watches over. Moreover, the data structure of the Bastion requires enemy hackers actually enter the structure in order to effect changes onto our tactical networks; the scale of the changes necessary requires direct access to the Bastion's computational resources, which are not accessible via wireless means due to device whitelisting.

Peregrine VTOL Fighter [Pilot Exclusive]

At first glance, the Peregrine looks like a swightwy larger Wasp, with similar aerodynamic suwfaces to capitawize on maneuverability. However, power plant upgrades have yielded top speeds in excess of 1200 kph. The craft maintains it's manuvewabiwity at top speed, with one notable feature. At the pilot's command, the Pewegwine can shunt thrust down out under the wings at chosen locations to allow sick loops strafing. Of course, to protect the Pilots, g-force cushioning nanites now pad the cockpit. Armor is slightly thicker than before, but only so that small arms don't bother it as much. As for awmament, the Peregrine sports the same rotary autocannon and wocket pods that the Wasp mounted.

I want to point out that VS made a fighter called Peregrine just this turn, but given the W's, I'm unable to tell if it's intentional or not.

Vigilo High-Evasion Fighter: Pilot Specific
For quite some time now, we've been wondering how to fully take advantage of the significantly increased control and response times of the Pilots with their Neurohelmet. Enter, the Vigilo.

Vigilo is a vehicle intentionally designed to be used only by the pilot. As such, the cockpit itself contains minimal controls. All control is done through the Neurohelmet. All the cockpit holds is a seat for the Pilot, a connection point for the Neurohelmet, and a pair of cameras on the back of the cockpit that allows the Pilot to observe what is in the air behind them.

The Vigilo's shape is that of a saucer overall. Curved on both the top and bottom for aerodynamics, and the cockpit is halfway sunken into the center of the craft, both for the safety of the pilot and preventing to great a losd in aerodynamics. With the missile pods directly on the bottom and able to close up so as to look identical front and back, and two main guns on the front to the sides of the turbine closed up and hidden when not in use. The front and back are almost indistinguishable until it starts firing.

The Vigilo's method of propulsion is its most unique aspect however. Four of our normal Turbines in the 'corners' of the craft, however, rather than providing that thrust directly, it makes use of thrust vectoring to instead output through a variety of 'shunts', that can be opened and closed. These shunts redirect the output of the turbines into that direction. Additionally, the turbines themselves can be opened up on either end for straight forward(or backward) flight. These shunt allow the force of anywhere from one to all of the Vigilo's engines(depending on the side) to, at any time, be directed in a completely different direction. This permits the Vigilo to perform great feats of aerial agility. Switching rapidly from flying forward to strafing, suddenly rising flat or dropping, spinning (roughly)in place, and though this requires skillful multi tasking; even using the rear cameras to fly backwards while firing on enemies in pursuit.

While we have done what we can to improve engine power, we doubt it will keep up in raw speed with the enemy fighters. Instead, the Vigilo relies on its ability to rapidly out-maneuver enemy missiles and fighters.
It should also be noted that, due to the size and shape of the Vigilo, ground based Anti-Air is liable to be rather effective, though direct gunfire being moreso than missiles or rockets.
Additionally, the issue of climb and drop speed was brought up. Drop speed should be fine despite the air friction, being assisted not only by the Vigilo's full thrust but also gravity. Rising however, is less certain, and may end up either slower or faster than sideways strafing
