Revision: Core Resupply Network

We have a working cold fusion reactor, now what? Now we miniaturized and commercialize. All our resupply and repair equipment runs on nanite generators, and nanite generators require power. The aim of this project is to refine the form factor and reliability of the core reactor to fit into the space of a bunker while also adding hookups along the power network to allow for unlimited resupply, repair, and healing at designated points.

Design: Lammergeier class Fighter(Pilot Specific) - Version Von Doom
A Pilot-only heavy airborne hybrid ground support/air defense fighter, the Lammergeier is a far smaller and sleeker craft than it's sister, the Roc, and is about the size of a conventional fighter. The Lammergeier boasts engines with the same horsepower as the Roc, allowing it to match or exceed the Wasp in contests of speed. The airframe is optimized for pilot operation, with the VTOL engine rotation being controllable by neurohelmet for maximal in-flight maneuverability when combined with the complimentary control surfaces. It is armed with a 20mm gatling cannon on a nose turret to target ground forces while wielding two large pods of Sentinel missiles for air combat. While it is far less armored compared to the Roc, it has retained enough to survive most area burst , and possesses basic missile countermeasures (chaff, flares). The Cameras from the Roc are maintained to provide an unprecedented amount of situational awareness. This craft carries one pilot, no passengers.

Design: Manta class Fighter (Pilot Specific)
A pilot-only heavy VTOL fighter with a crew of one and no transport capacity, the Manta operates on the principle of "Don't get hit". The craft takes on a very flying wing shape with four compact but powerful rotating engines, each controlled by the pilot. Armament is very simple - a rack of sentinel missiles and a center-mounted 30mm autocannon. the control surfaces of the aircraft allow for very high maneuverability at speeds up to 750 km/h. The craft is covered with just enough armor to survive area burst weaponry hits, and has IR smoke countermeasures and chaff. The pride of the aircraft is the vehicle-mounted hardlight shield, which can be activated and deactivated by the pilot.

Design: Abhorrent P ASF - Pilot only version
Four powerful engines mounted in ablative armoured housings, two are at the root of the wings and two are in the tail to increase manoeuvrability. Capable of STOSL (Short Take Off Short Landing) due to high thrust to weight ratio and thrust reversal of engines if desired.

The pilot is protected by an armoured cockpit compartment surrounded by ablative armour, the aircraft provides the neurohelmet with (zoom optional) optical, IR, NVG & RADAR (or whatever future sensor everybody is using) outline view data allowing them to look through the aircraft in their chosen vision mode and designate targets for missiles allowing them to fire in any direction desired.

The fuselage is shaped to reduce RADAR signature, the aircraft is fly-by-wire.

The aircraft can carry weapons or mission equipment on hard-points on the wings, there are 6 hardpoints, 3 on each wing between the engine and wing tip, and an internal weapons bay (Rotating carriage allows for multiple missiles) or under-slung (under-slinging blocks weapon bay but the object can be jettisoned or fired to allow bay to be used).

There are two 30mm autocannons on either side of the aircraft pointing forwards, these can accept pressure-flak and armour piercing shells in belts.

The aircraft has chaff dispensers and a flare system that attempts to mimic its engine IR signature.

Radio transmissions are encrypted using AES-512 bit open standard encryption. (the method of programming the encryption is open standard, the actual keys are very much not, minimum effort on our part, they need an extremely, ridiculously powerful supercomputer and/or quantum computing to brute force this)

The interior bays will remain empty for now and a missile pod will be made for Sentinels.


Notes:
The Abhorrent is a stand-off craft, if it is getting into gun range for air to air combat then it wants to get away if at all possible. Technically it can carry out gun-runs but it is not advised. For dog-fighting it follows the energy fighter theory, out-manoeuvring the enemy is not to be relied upon.

Marianas - Air superiority fighter (pilot exclusive)

A departure from our VTOL style of vehicle, the Marianas is a jet boasting two engines based on an upgraded Roc design that can pivot in a wide degree of motion, controlled by the pilot. The shape is malleable taking advantage of nanites to adjust the shape of the wings to allow for high speed dives and high G curves. A countermeasures system and a hull camera network allow the pilot to both "see" through the hull and respond to missiles coming from odd angles. The plane is armed with two wing mounted 20mm autocannons, and two sentinel missile pods. Due to the configurability of the plane, it's difficult to determine maximum speed.

"Annihilator" Assault Tank
As a result of our fading armour efficacy on the battlefield, the Annihilator is an attempt to revitalise our armoured forces.

The armour is replaced with a metallic-polymer composite armour more suited to dealing with energy weapons than what the ERA was capable of handling, whilst providing an increased level of protection. Moreover, while the Annihilator retains the MG and main gun of the Destroyer, a battery of eight sentinel tubes is built into the rear of the turret, enabling a good level of anti-air capability, and in the hands of a pilot, an additional ability to engage vehicles.

But the vehicle's layout is the most dramatic change; by shifting the distribution of the internals around, the tank and it's crew, gain a greater level of survivability by virtue of the turret being unmanned; controlled from it's hull by either a crew of three, or a single Pilot. While the engine in the front of the vehicle likely presents a greater change of the vehicle being rendered immobile, the second feature comes into play; The extra space in the rear is built into a transport bay that, while small, is enough to comfortably transport a fireteam of soldiers and an engineer or two; giving the vehicle an additional capability whilst ensuring that, no, the enemy can't snipe or else pick off the brave men and women repairing the vehicle in the heat of combat.

Turn 4 Design Phase

Proposal: Lammergeier Heavy Fighter
Difficulty: Normal
Result:  6+6=12, Unexpected Boon


The Lammergeier Project was a sweeping culmination of Terrestrial Reserve properties across the board in order to create an aircraft that could redefine war in the air. This single-Pilot aircraft has a sleek form and utilizes gimballed thrusters embedded in the wings and tail to achieve VTOL flight while also reducing impact on aerodynamics. The engines are high-power and high-efficiency, granting the Lammergeier speeds of 1000 km/h, while vector nozzles at the nose of the aircraft allow the Pilot to perform near-physics-breaking maneuvers.

The entire aircraft is protected by the newly-patented TerraScale^TM Composite Armor. Made from the latest in galactic-age materials, TerraScale^TM Composite Armor is very resilient for it's weight and extremely effective at dispersing heat and mitigating energy-based weapons damage. Thin layers of TerraScale^TM Composite Armor are pressed together to provide even more protection for the Lammergeier.

The 20mm gatling cannon in the nose turret and two missile bays each have an ammo fabricator of their own, meaning the Lammergeier could potentially stay active until the pilot had to call it quits. The two missile bays house four missile a piece and are set into the front of the Lammergeier's wings. While not as big as perhaps initially planned, the ammo fabricators' ability to reload after a few moments without the need to extract from the battlefield should still prove to be a game-changer.

Chaff and flares are also controlled by the Pilot, who can see the entirety of space around the aircraft thanks to armored lenses embedded in the aircraft. These countermeasures also have fabricators providing a near-limitless supply.

Pilot interface with the Lammergeier is also instant, and Pilots report that linking into one of the heavy fighters provides a rush not unlike various combat stimulants. Everything in the aircraft responds to the Pilot's desires, and the line between man and machine blurs spectacularly.

But there's more! The aircraft has a large number of systems requiring a lot of power. This power is provided by a Cold Fusion Reactor scaled down to fit snuggly into the aircraft. While repeating this feat will still be difficult in other projects, we've proven it can be done and have the groundwork to build upon further.

With everything but the Pilot's energy in practically unlimited supply, the Lammergeier will certainly prove to be the aircraft of choice for long-range patrols, loitering around, and everything in between. The impressive nature of this aircraft makes it so desired that it offsets the frankly insane costs of producing the vehicles thanks to demand nearly outstripping even our improved production, meaning it is very much (CHEAP).

(For a general visual idea, think the XCOM Interceptor)

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

IT IS NOW THE REVISION PHASE! You have TWO revisions, and both will be affected by a Resource Credit!

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)

Sentinel Guided Missile Launcher: A Shoulder-Mounted Missile Launcher with standard and thermal optics. Laser designation requires constant input, exposing users. Locking on is excellent, even at a distance or against clustered signatures. It is highly suited to  both AA and AT work work, and the warhead is effective enough to blast a hole in most hardened positions we should expect to see. Usable by: Heavy Assaults, Secondary Weapon (CHEAP)

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 (CHEAP)

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)

Lammergeier Heavy Fighter: A Pilot-specific VTOL fighter capable of 1000km/h with impeccable maneuverability. Protected by TerraScale Composite Armor layers to protect against all forms of damage. Has a nose-turreted 20mm gatling cannon and two 4-missile bays in the wings, as well as chaff and flares, all with their own ammo fabricators. Cameras provide complete spherical view for the Pilot. Powered by a Cold Fusion Reactor. (CHEAP)

Roc VTOL Paratrooper/Bomber Craft: A Pilot-only heavy airborne troop transport capable of carrying two dozen soldiers OR a full load of somewhat effective bombs. Travels at 160 km/h. Has a 20mm gatling cannon on a nose turret as well as four other point-defense turrets positioned elsewhere on the ship. These turrets fire chaff or airburst flak to defeat missiles and close-in aircraft. Camera systems provide an unprecedented amount of situational awareness. (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)

[TricMagic]

I kinda wonder if I'm allowed to post here, but this is amazing. I'd suggest the obvious of improving the basic neruohelmet's cost to take full advantage of the cheapness, and blow the enemy out of the sky. Much luck!

[Failbird105]

With TerraScale™ Composite Armor now officially in production and vastly outstripping our basic armors in effectiveness, it is now time to begin utilizing it further and further. Some members of our team have suggested it would take too much time to refit all of our vehicles with TerraScale™ Composite Armor, so in acknowledgement of them, we will limit ourselves. For now.

Part 1 of the TerraScale™ Rearmor Program focuses entirely on the Renderer and its variants, the Teamster, Thunderer, and Workforce. These four vehicles will all have their armor completely replaced with TerraScale™ Composite Armor. This will drastically increase their effective defenses against VS and NC forces, with an estimated minimal increase(or perhaps even a decrease) in their weight.

Additionally, we've realized a critical mistake that we and both of our opponents have been making this whole time. A complete lack of branding. From now on, starting with our TerraScale™ armored Renderer variants, we will be proudly emblazoning our logo on our vehicles.

[KhazintheDark]

Set in motion and organise the mass replacement of Legacy of Terra (LoT) armour panels with units using the new TerraScale™ composite, a simple task in terms of design complicated by the sheer number of suits in inventory. If projected time allows then effort should be made to allow soldiers equipped with LoT to carry additional auxiliary equipment. Either through webbing, magnetic strips or new compartments in the armour that do not sacrifice protection (this may make the compartment area more bulky). Additionally off the shelf paint sprayers will be made available to quartermasters to allow for the matte painting of armour in desired field camouflage. Given the number of units to be painted this task may be submitted as punishment duty.

[Doomblade187]

Renderer Optimization Update

This revision will affect the Renderer base model, as well as all it's variants. The outdated armor on our multi-role vehicle will be upgraded with TerraScale™ armor, marked with the TR's logo at the front, a stylized globe bearing the company name. Additionally, the vehicle will come equipped with armored exterior lenses, now dubbed "Omnivision", to allow superior situational awareness. All armed variants will be bolstered with a gunner-operated Sentinel launcher pod.

[KhazintheDark]

Update the Omnivisor with firewalls and encryption.

[Doomblade187]

HyperCore

Our engineers have been hard at work on our fusion generation capability, and now it's time to bring it into the field. Combining the raw power generation capacity of the Core reactor with the technological improvements from our aerospace reactor, we aim to create a smaller resupply generator that we can use to power all our (static) equipment in the field. One prime example of this is our resupply and repair equipment that runs on nanite generators. The aim of this project is to refine the form factor and reliability of the core reactor, such that it can be easily constructed in the footprint of a small home. Additionally, we will add hookups along the power network to allow for fusion-powered resupply, repair, and healing at designated points via our existing equipment. (i.e., hooking a Herald or Ammo Fab trailer to the power network.) The generator should be able to be towed, either in component form or in whole, by Renderers.

Some members of our team have suggested it would take too much time to refit all of our vehicles with TerraScale™ Composite Armor, so in acknowledgement of them, we will limit ourselves. For now.

Part 1 of the TerraScale™ Rearmor Program focuses entirely on the Destroyer. The Destroyer is not a bad tank, but it is an unfortunate product of its time, with armor entirely focused on taking on Kinetic weaponry. To rectify this issue we are replacing its armor plating with TerraScale™ Composite Armor. This will drastically increase the Destroyers effective defenses against VS and NC forces, with an estimated minimal increase(or perhaps even a decrease) in their weight.

On top of this, in place of the current ERA bricks over important areas, which we have found actively detract from defensive effectiveness against Energy weaponry, we will instead be putting thick plates made of several layers of reflective thin-films.

With the armor part of the improvements out of the way now, we can begin talking about the further upgrades we can make to the vehicle. First and foremost, is the introduction of the OmniVision™ Camera System, which connects to the Omnivisor to provide the same level of maximum situational awareness to non-certified pilots that it does to our Pilots.

To go with the OmniVision™ Camera System installation, we will make several improvements to the Destroyers armaments. Firstly, the cannons rotational speed will be enhanced, permitting drastically faster aiming should the Destroyer be ambushed in combat. And secondly, an upgrade to the machine gun turret to allow far greater degrees of vertical rotation, and attaching a Sentinel Missile Launcher to the turret as well, to allow the vehicle to retaliate against potential enemy ground-attack aircraft with greater ease.

Additionally, we've realized a critical mistake that we and both of our opponents have been making this whole time. A complete lack of branding. From now on, starting with our newly improved Destoyer, we will be proudly emblazoning our logo, a stylized globe bearing the company name, on our vehicles.

Some members of our team have suggested it would take too much time to refit all of our vehicles with TerraScale™ Composite Armor, so in acknowledgement of them, we will limit ourselves. For now.

Part 1 of the TerraScale™ Rearmor Program focuses entirely on the Osprey. The Osprey has repeatedly proven itself key to both our offense and defense, the ability to deploy our already hardier than average soldiers directly to the front-lines from respawn has proven vital time and time again. The problem? Well, the Osprey is old. Indeed, it hasn't been improved since we first made it. And with its mobile respawn point having a critical flaw, we will need the additional resource allocation to ensure we can deploy as many of this game-changing craft as possible.

First of all, we will of course be replacing its current armor with TerraScale™ Composite Armor of the same thickness, which should make it drastically more resilient against our enemies weaponry. Then, its engines will be upgraded using the technology of the Lammergeier. While we don't think the Osprey will end up being as fast due to its greater scale, greater weight, and less aerodynamic profile, it will absolutely be far faster than it is currently.

With the armor and engines out of the way, we can begin talking about the further upgrades we can make to the vehicle. First and foremost, is the introduction of the OmniVision™ Camera System, as used in the Roc and Lammergeier, which connects to the Omnivisor to provide the same level of maximum situational awareness to non-certified pilots that it does to our Pilots.

To go with the OmniVision™ Camera System installation, we will be making two final mechanical upgrades. Namely, replacing its 24 dumbfire rockets with a set of 4 Sentinel Missile Pods(halving the number of missiles, but making them, y'know, far better ones). And secondly, a set of missile countermeasures, the same variety used on the Lammergeier, with a fairly substantial internal magazine rather than the in-built fabricators.

Additionally, we've realized a critical mistake that we and both of our opponents have been making this whole time. A complete lack of branding. From now on, starting with our newly improved Osprey, we will be proudly emblazoning our logo, a stylized globe bearing the company name, on our vehicles.
