Orbital Space weapons of mass destruction.

26-12-2003, 22:43
I have launched a new space weaponary programme which means that i can wipe out areas in Nation States. This will not mean that i will go "crazy" and go and destroy everything but this gives us a new area to understand more about this. I will be selling my new SOWMD(Space Orbital Weaponary of Mass Destruction) in the new year and if you are interested then tell me and i will be glad to send a dossier of information on the weapons ASAP. Many Thanks.

You can have that weapon all oyu want. I won't ever RP with anyone who has it though ;)
26-12-2003, 22:47
Im asking if you agree with it, the research i mean?
Pwnica
26-12-2003, 22:50
If it can be used more than once, then I disagree with it and you'll stop researching it or I'll stop for you.

If it can only be used once, then I say "meh".

You will not stop me USING IT and i never said anything about using it i will only use it on deserted areas in my nation for military research and it isn't going to be fully operational for 5 years. Even then i will need to be given the consent of 4 Key regional Delegates and mods.

Rephrasing - if you use it against someone (don't mind it in deserted areas, for research) THEN I'll stop it.

Yes it will take a long time to research, an extremely long time, especially for such a new nation.

Hallal, SIRF is not warfare, it's... never mind, you'll see. And Pwinca, if you want to copy it it's under the "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" thing near the bottom of the page.

Oh no ship would have the equiptment to be able too................actually its top secretish at the moment to a certain extent but i will keep you posted on what i can and cant mention. Sorry about that.

No ship would be able to destroy it you're saying?

Want to try that theory out against me when it's finished?

I can afford to do this so i will and if it doesnt suceed then at least i tried!?!?!?!?

You said that no ship will be able to destroy it.

I have 5 letters to say to you:

26-12-2003, 23:17
I AM NOT GOD MODDING AND I HAVE A FEW MORE LETTERS THAT I COULD SAY TO YOU. Im not trying to cause the next world threat so why cant we just talk about this in a civilised way????
26-12-2003, 23:17
Hallal, I reccomend that you go meet the rogue nation of TYG. He and you think along the same lines as in, " Hmmm... I think I'll try to do something way over my brainless head and get laughed at for it!"

26-12-2003, 23:18
Okay, let's talk civilized.

Did you, or did you not, say that no ship would be able to destroy it?

So are we talking bout a FOBS, right? Or what exactly? We can't tell you if it's any good unless we know more. How does it work? Oh, and being able to destroy entire regions will be looked on as godmodding. possibly because it very much is. There is no weapon on earth that could do this, you know. And if you are building a FOBS, you're too new. It's too advanced.
NOTE TO OTHERS: I am not rejecting this out of hand, because, well, I've heard of similar things in the real world. Like a FOBS. So maybe this guy wants to create a new and improved weapon system. Let him try, as long as it's not godmoddish.
EDIT: In the time it took to write this, things in this thread have degenerated to a.. 'civilized' level. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. Oh, and to destroy a satellite, a ship would need something in the order of a MRBM (in range at least, seeing as it needs to go vertically not ballistically) to hit a satellite. It's possible, but much more economical to make smaller missiles and fire them off a fighter (see 'Red Strom Rising' by Tom Clancy for a bit more on this, or search for ASAT (anti-satellite) on the web).

Ok, maybe you are not intentionally godmodding, but to most NS players you will be if you go ahead with this yet. Most nations wait a few months before they even begin to talk about orbital weaponry. You may have had the orbital weaponry issue (i'm guessing here), but the idea of a nation born less than 1 month ago having such weaponry will be widely ignored on NS. Also, your claims that no ship will be able to destroy it suggest that it is a godmod of some sort, as if you are creating the next Death Star or something (yeah, it was destroyed but you know what I mean). Most of the big nations won't even acknowledge this development of yours, let alone allow it to be RPed at all in any military situation you may become involved in.

Hallal, from what you posted originally, it seemed like you were trying to destroy entire regions. I misread. I would apologise, but you said, and I quote:
I NEVER SAID IT COULD DESTROY ENTIRE NATIONS DUMB ARSE SO DONT TAKE THE PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And this to a nation that was actually being nicer to you than the rest. Good way to win an argument, attack the people who WERE at least slightly on your side. All right then, here we go. You have a population of just over 100 million. The GDP calculator says that were you to spend 10% of GDP on this project, it would be just over 100 billion. In the 1980's, the US spent $50 billion just thinking about it (i think, can't provide figures for that or anything). You could safely assume that any such project would either bankrupt your nation, be so low-key as to make no difference, or take so long to produce that it would be obsolete by the time you launched the final satellite. So, in short. You are godmodding. You cannot have this technology unless you come up with the mother-of-all-RP reasonings. Good luck to you on that one, mate :P

I dont care about the US i hate the Americans. Anyway this is the beginning of an entire new research department for my nation and we will devote alot of our time to this research (enphysis on research).
26-12-2003, 23:45
If you insult "the Americans" you insult me and half the other users of this site. I'm no major Bush supporter but to say you hate the entire country is simply stupid and over-generalized. There are many people who don't like the way things are run here, and many of them are Americans. And how could you hate the nation that practically saved Europe from becoming controlled by Nazis? You are an outrageously stupid person.

(NB: This is Kalmykhia, just logged in as a different nation)
1. No-one nation one the second world war on its own. The efforts of the Allies, and the blunders of Hitler, combined to mean they won. The British did not win the war on they're own. The Americans did not either. The British could NOT have won on their own however.
2. America-baiting seems to be a popular forum sport everywhere. It is bad. Yes, America may be being run by a moron (my personal belief), but that does not make it a bad place, or everyone there a stupid redneck.
3. We have to work from real-world examples here, we are RPing a real-world thing, so we can't say it costs three peanuts and a fish. It has to be within the bounds of reason (and also fun, but that's another thing altogether). And if you're RPing in another era\locale, it still will have its rules of what is reasonable and what is not. Ignore these, you won't be RPed with.
Now is there any chance this could get back to a discussion of this orbital weapon system and its merits\disadvantages, otr is it gonna be anothe slag-fest? Hallal, the ball is in your court now.

Imperial Forces for years have spent mass amounts of it's military budget on Otbital Weapons research. Tests have shown that Using Satellite Platforms and REBs are the most effective way to build a orbital web over the world.

As for WMDs on Orbital weapons, one of Imperial Forces worries are that a acc missile launched from a enemy nation could successfully strike the WMD satellites and causing harmful particals from the WMD *Especially if it's nuclear* to spread over turly massive scale, that could effect billions of people worldwide, wether enemy, netural or even ally.

[Snippet from the Annual Spacial Defence Report]

"It is our belief that the nation of Hallal is incapable of producing orbital weaponary at it's current tech level and as such we feel that their statement reguarding SOWMD is a blatant example of propergander and as such we will ignore their future claims of space technology.

Meanwhile it is our opinion that our own defences should be prepared for satalittes that claim to be under the control of Hallal, as these could be attempts at subterfuge and we should destroy such craft entering our orbit. All other satalittes should be investigated fully under normal Free Iuthian protocol."

Siosia,

On behalf of Canadian Forces personnel past and present, I would ask that you read some history that does not centre on Americans. I would also suggest that just because YOU haven't heard of what you might consider noteworthy contributions by Canadians does not mean these contributions do not exist.

Canadians fought side-by-side with Americans in Normandy, for one thing. Perhaps you don't consider this to be a contribution?

Canadians also fought as part of the British Commonwealth, not something taught in American history classes, if what my American wife has told me is any measure.

I would also point out that if you take some measure of offense to Hallal's anti-American comments, then perhaps you could find deep down inside you to empathize with my feelings towards your casual dismissal of Canadian troops and the lives they too spent defending freedom and democracy.
