Is it really that hard to put stuff in a proper NS instead of putting up bits and pieces these day? >_>

[King Solterra]

@ClocktowerEchos Well you haven't posted yours in the tab at all
>.>
<.<

[Wernher]

>I can into greentext?

[Wernher]

Oh wow, it's like 4chan in here.

>implying.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Cale Tucker Its actually the third post on the first page. I just never felt like it was complete enough to be put in the Char tab

[King Solterra]

@ClocktowerEchos I know it's on the first page, I'm waiting for them all to be in the character tab so it's easier for everyone else to see

@Wernher 4chan? And why is my text green :I

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Cale Tucker Happy now?

[King Solterra]

@ClocktowerEchos My end goal is for everyone to be happy

@ClocktowerEchos
Oi, what'd you say if my and your nations had a sort-of trade deal- I sell advanced kinetic weapons to you, and you outfit my ships with gauss weapons?

Because my ships are gonna rely on MACs and lots of missiles and drones. But since I can't make good of both, being good at one and purchasing the other works just as well.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@WilsonTurner

I like the idea but Ryukyu doesn't actually have all that much need of kinetic weapons. Mostly due to the fact most their gauss weapons were based on astroid guns and still double as them to this day. Hell, they only have one actual military-minded gauss gun and that's on their only real military ship.

To them, selling gauss for kinetic would just mean giving up some form of environmental protection for a form of weaponry they don't really see the need for.

[WilsonTurner]

@ClocktowerEchos
The Draconians would want big powerful guns in their ships, so I think they'll sell you things other than kinetic weapons for it. Supplies, more political influence/support, even Draconian sergeants, for training or otherwise.

Essentially- a bunch of my ships are gonna have MACs, and you're the only guy that makes them. So either I can not have MACs and stick with missile spam, or you can sell MACs to me and get a Major ally.

[ClocktowerEchos]

@WilsonTurnerI'd honestly just be fine trading for raw resources over military stuff. RIA and RIN have good enough crews and soldiers and are AI assisted but there is totally a lack of secret super soldier stuff which obviously never and cannot exist hush hush. Plus some of the other stuff I'm planing.

If I had to say it, the "victory condition" for Ryukyu isn't as much as conquer and subjugate than it is to basically rule over the entire econamy by out producing everyone else and making JP Morgan and Rockefeller proud.

Asteroid defense or not, the designs can be easily redesigned for specific ammunition. You make money out of something originally intended for defense. Win/win if you ask me

[ClocktowerEchos]

@Cale Tucker

I see it easier and cheaper to create a slug of metal that can be shot out of a rail gun to kill an astroid than it is to make rounds large enough/explody enough/strong enough to kill one. Just my view of it.

Think of it like getting a laptop vs a computer. Yeah the laptop has its benefits but in terms of sheer ability, the computer is just better

[WilsonTurner]

@ClocktowerEchos
So our two nations will have a sort of alliance from the start?
Nothing significant, just a political trade agreement, yes?

We can become fully allied later, and stomp everyone when the Draconians feel ready.

[greywolf375]

@WilsonTurner My people, however, would be willing to do business. ((Weapons Tech = Gauss, Level = Superior))

My NS should hopefully be up tomorrow, got other things drawing on my attention today

[Sovi3t]

I haven't heard any objections beside Cale for using there races in my organization

[greywolf375]

@Sovi3t What even is your thing?

[WilsonTurner]

@greywolf375
But you haven't posted your NS sheet.

Well then, looks like @ClocktowerEchos will have a competitor, in terms of selling gauss weaponry to the CDE.

@Sovi3t
Their*, not there. Sorry, it was bothering me.

You need to fill in what Weapons/Shields/Armor you specialize in before you can do anything.

[greywolf375]

@WilsonTurner the details are mostly done, I'm just really busy today. also, its called a Trade Alliance. it could be three way
