"We are currently developing a mobile SAM carrier that is capable of traversing mountainous terrain and forest. At the moment we have come up with the basic structure and are now in the fine tuning stage of the development."

ooc:- Basically I am asking for help fine tune the stats for this Defensive unit, before I add it to my military.

SAM Walker Drone
http://www.users.on.net/killerkoala/samdrone.JPG
Cost to Build: - 21.75 Million Union Paws
Length: - 20.75 m
Height: - 14.32 m (Including SAM Launcher)
Width: - 7.23 m (At standard spread)
Average Speed: - 40 Kmph
Max Speed: - 60 kmph
Power Source: - (Hydrogen fuel cells )
Armor: - 10 mm Nogra - V4
Weapons: -
Surface to Air Missile Launcher: - 12 missiles
Retractable 20 mm Machine-guns: - [list:cb29e9f6a3] 2 in the front (1000 rounds each) 2 in the Rear (1000 rounds each)[/list:u:cb29e9f6a3]
Notes: -
The unit is a drone operated by a controller who can be several kilometers away, and who can also be operating more than one drone at a time.
The unit is a walker model to handle the rough terrain of Slagkattunger mountains and hills, this unit is not designed for use in the Rainforest. It can be used on the plains of Slagkattunger but it speed is halved due to the soft surface.

ooc: - Did I miss anything? Questions welcomed as they may help fine tune the unit.

[ooc] A great design, however, weight of the rounds, armor, mechanics etc, might call for a lower speed. As for power hydrogen fuel cells (if current tech mind you) if your willing to take a slight power of movement decrease.

Hey! it looks pretty good!
I like the stats, they dont go into to much detail..
one thing, you might want to post a tad more on the missiles themselves like range and type of guidance.. nothing much, just a bit more 'flavour' text.

Ps, good use of DoGA there!

I didn't go into the SAM themselves as I haven't got any stats for them yet (They are just more advance versions of todays SAM's)

I've dropped the speed (I did think they were too high myself, I just had to see if I could get away with it :P )

As to the DoGA would you believe this only took an hour to make from scratch?

Perhaps my scientists and your's could exchange design ideas.

Here is SB's current prototype, during tactical testings:

heh, No probs, you going to list them from omdern sources? like modern weapons?


As to DoGA I can well believe it! its handy for this kind of thing, I use it a lot myself.

ooc:- SB did you do that or did it come from the web?

ic:- "We mainly design defensive weapons, and yours looks very much like an agressive design. That said we might be interested in developing a drone unit with you if we had a goal for the unit."

ooc:- Basically what would I use the next design for? I had a VTOL gunship drone design except I realised it would be mainly an aggressive unit with little defensive use :? so I ditched it.

OOC: how about a spotter Scout? most useful use for a flying drone unit..

IC: Unless you are developing offshore and submersible technology Im afraid there is not much we can do to help you.
Steel Butterfly

OOC: Both. I found the basic model on the web, added texture, background, "land" or spaceship or whatever, lasers, and lighting.

IC: "Ah, yet we are still unsure about our goal for the unit. We are not a race to normally use mechs of any sort..."

ooc:- Aqua Nation Atlantica click on the national profile link under my tag, it will take you to my (in construction) nation profile there you will find a link to my military. Look down to the drone section & there you will find a drone that we use for Coastal patrols.

ooc:- SB nice adding of texture then.

IC:- "Steel Butterfly the unit doesn't have to be a walker unit, just a drone like this one we have just developed. Aqua Nation Atlantica we are currently thinking of developing a research/ drone launching submersible to increase the capabilities of our ICBM intercepting drone, would you be interested?"

"Naturally we'd need more information on the subject," the scientist replied while concentrating on his chemicals.

OOC: thanks, have to esx' a noob.

IC:we would be delighted, we are currently in the final stages of design stage testing for the Cowrie Class remote Scout drone to be used in conjunction with out Tope Scout Submersible. But as a stand alone unit it would I believe be highly viable.

ooc:- Nice colors Aqua Nation Atlantica.....I'll post an image of the sub I'm designing & we can get down to work on developing stats for it, is that ok with you?

Ic:- (this is sent to you Steel Butterfly) "Well we understand that you are a nation with experiance in space, currently we are developing a Space Elevator and hence we will soon have an easier access to space. As a result from some politics already occurring we realise we will need a drone to provide defense against hostile space nations. Will you help by giving us pointers on space combat and weapon types used?"

ooc:- Keeping in mind that I'm not that far advanced into the future ie:- no laser/ plasma weapons, anti gravity/ artifical gravity etc.

OOC :Thanks! Post away, being as I am new here still getting stuff together for the actual Nation, but safe to say, its not that far in advanced of modern, only a few peices can be considered high tech.

ooc:- How about (when I get to it thursday) I post a picture of the drone & you help with the stats?
