I regret nothing in my post, except now I wish I did sign gibberish.but I did think she read lips, aparently I was mistaken.

Mute people just can't (or in her case choose not to) speak. They can hear things fine. Am I missing something here?

Do you guys wanna get underway? You should be able to walk and talk a little and I sense the chatting is getting a little old. I may be wrong but the last thing I want is to bore you guys.

Chatting is fine, walking is fine, everything is fine. I was just giving some people time to write a post before I started posting back and forth with people. Either way works for me.

Are some of you guys substituting certain airships for such a navy, or are we going with basic rules and designs? (Typical ww2 designed battleships, gunships, destroyers, etc.)

I think we should go a little more steampunky than that, but it's like someone said earlier, your sea ships can be faster/heavier because they don't need to be kept in the sky. Lighter or smaller airships are what I think are mainly used by most of the nations. I don think anything will be able to overcome the amount of cargo that a sea ship can hold.

@Invictus yes...so let me get this straight: we are at totally opposite ends of the ideological spectrum, are already inclined to be hostile to each other ('Heretic!' 'Counter-revolutionary!'), are competing with each other internationally because we both produce goods, and furthermore I think we have the groundwork of a national feud between us...

Yes it does seem to create yet another feud within my neighbors. I was really hoping that some other people would create similar religions or I should have taken a slightly larger piece of land because everyone is against my people.

But mechs cannot take recoil as well as tanks, which means that your aspirations for mechs to be these self-propelled anti-tank turrets aren't founded in reality. If you are going to factor that they can trip over often enough that you need to make specific technology just to get them back on their feet, what is the point? Why go up stairs with a mech when you could have a squad of men do it better? Why even go up mountainous terrain with a mech when you could ride up it with a powerful tank? Why go over barricades when you could smash through them, giving you an even bigger advantage.Tanks are more mobile, easier to get a crew into, easier to hide, can have bigger guns, and can have more armor.Tanks better, man.

Ahh, but you see my Mechs aren't going to be anything like they are tanks, mine are more of troop transport, small runners/quad legged scouting machines, and mortars. You can bust things down with tanks and send squads up hills, but I can send a heavy mortar to climb over a small mountain and start raining hell down on the battlefield from the protection of the other side (given I have spotters with sight).

Oh, sorry, I meant I would be trading my goods for your food. The Solaran Administration has a distinct lack of agricultural land...As for the heretic thing, that would normally work the other way too ('damn lie-spreading religious dogs!') but the Administration would definitely be ready to turn a blind eye if food was a possibility...although, if you produce goods yourself, a trade might not work out...

A shame about you producing goods also. As for the heretic thing, that was kinda why I decided to play a crazy religious nation. It caters to both side of the spectrum and allows for me to create freedom fighters/rebels within my own nation; allowing other nations to interact with the rebels in an indirect way to get at my nation.

Damn, I forgot to account for the 'looking damn fine' factor in my argument. Rule of cool always did triumph over reality...

Yeah, for something that is in a made up game that many are playing...I'm sorry if I enjoy how something would look in a friggin Rp where Mechs can be just as effective as tanks.

As for nationwise, my nation is "slightly radically religious" so they aren't too keen on trade with heretics, but their production does include pots and pans among other produced things.

Mechs are worse than tanks. Or rather, if you have the technological capabilities to build mechs better than tanks, you could build something else much better. This is evidenced by the fact that no military in the world uses mechs, but nearly all of them use tanks. For example, instead of mechs you could just build a much faster, more mobile tank, or even make 'power armour' for normal soldiers.

Well we could argue this for days I guess, but the militaries do not use mechs because they are, like you said, not feasible in this day and age. That said if we had the technology to build good mechas, we would probably have some of both. With a mech you can transverse almost all types of terrain. Hell a mech can climb stairs and over barricades and things. Sure they are easy to trip or knock down, but if you have the tech to build them in the first place you can figure out a way to get back up. Also Mechs have more uses, they have finer coordination than say a crane. There are many more arguments, but I'll give you a chance to respond before I write a page.

And plus, they look hella cool.

Sorry, I'm working on my sheet now. Iv just been hella busy. I'm probably gonna go for a hitting things guy.

Actually I'll leave it up to you guys. Would you like a huge "brute" of a human (not a mutant) or a stealthy stabby close ranged kill you silently person?
