[OOC] New Dawn Rising

[Isotope]

It's pedantic lol, but It got me wonderin.

[Sigma]

@Monkeypants@Isotope Think I'm confident enough to say that the Grogar race is completed, two new strains added in.

[Inkdrop]

@IsotopeI didn't really author my nation with that huge lake in mind but I don't think it'd cause issues.

[Shorticus]

@Darkspleen How far of a range are your scouting ships flying?

(Important since I'd love to know if any merchant convoys to the NAU, Westerijik, or Franco-Iberia would be noticed.)

[Darkspleen]

@Shorticus The one's heading towards the US will be going over New York. The ones to Britain will fly over London. Assuming, of course, that no one intercepts them. Even with the external fuel tanks the jets headed towards the British Isles will be going right up to their max range.

Hope that answers your question.

[Inkdrop]

@DarkspleenThe Oceon Airforces will definitely be taking notice. That course will take them right through my airspace.

Problem is, my planes wouldn't stand a chance. My fighters have primitive IR missiles and cannons, and struggle to break the sound barrier. Particle cannons and lasers would rip them apart.

[Darkspleen]

On the upside Victoria's fighters won't be looking to engage, so you shouldn't have an casualties.

[Inkdrop]

@DarkspleenI hope so, because I might get your fighters with enough numbers but it'll be a phyrric victory.

[Darkspleen]

It'd be stupid of my fighters to engage. They're already reaching out at the upper limit of their operation range even with external fuel tanks and those very same fuel tanks are taking up all of the hardpoints that would normally be reserved for missiles. No. From a strictly tactical view it makes far more sense for them to just fly away or stay above your jets' flight ceiling.

That said my peeps also aren't interested in starting any hostilities, yet another reason for them to decline any attempts your peeps might have at initiating combat.

[Taeryn]

Married yet Spleen?

[Isotope]

lmfao

[Darkspleen]

>.>

[Sigma]

Ok then... :P

Anyway, @Darkspleen, It's gonna be quite interesting to see the Victoria's crew reaction to what the former US has become :D

And just in time for the War too XD

[Darkspleen]

Yay! War!

But anyways. Yea. It'll be very interesting. It would appear that democracy is not as common as it was in the old world.

[Shorticus]

Don't worry! Malagasy Enterprises exists as a paragon of Old World virtues! We're paving the way to a better tomorrow!

_{Quick, someone get me the CMO to deal with this "democracy" thing!}

[Darkspleen]

Lmao. I can already tell that I'm going to like you Shorticus.

[Sigma]

@Shorticus So, what does Malagasy Enterprises plan to do for the coming war in South America?(Not sure if that was answered pages ago :P)

@Sigma

Good question. I covered this in a PM discussion. It basically comes down to this:

Step 1: Grab some of the land. Do NOT annex.
Step 2: Try to run "free and fair elections" in the state, forcing this to happen because Peacekeeper forces are around to keep everyone "honest."
Step 3: ACTUALLY sell the land to the highest bidder between the NAU and Brazil.

• Or, you know, if nobody buys the land, use the opportunity to create a state that's in debt to Malagasy Enterprises.

Step 4: Profit.

"Free and fair elections" would include the option of joining one of the two nations, note. Which boils down to selling a rigged election.

[Darkspleen]

I'm going to preempt this question, cause I know that someone will inevitably ask me, and just say that Victoria's response is dependent on too many variables to accurately predict right now. =P

[Sigma]

@Shorticus How devious of them! :P
