Megas Ship Technology
All Megas ship technology and classes can be found on this site: http://www.geocities.com/coltman45_24/enertech.htm

President Deikun finds your interest in this specific line of technology intriguing. New Neo Zeon already has primitive mobile suits manufactured, if you'd like, we could ship some to you for quicker study. Check the New Neo Zeon storefront (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=361613) if you'd like to purchase any. We would also be willing to send our original blue prints for an extra price.

Megas has just released its first innovation in mecha technology, the Veritech VF-1!
http://www.geocities.com/mecha_megas/veritech.jpg

Ok, even as a space nation, you could not have mechs built in what, 2 days? But hey, it doesn't matter. Your mech turns into a fancy plane. Thus, it conclude that is 1 foot tall, made from plastic, uses a spring to launch powerful orange plastic missiles, and came from a box.

In short: Pwned.

That's just wrong. You could've just told me that I should'nt have posted that early. You didn't have to be so sarcastic. After all, I am a noob, or newb, or however you spell it.

This is the Fascist Whites Broadcasting Network. We are reporting an official statement from the KSS: After evaluation and intelligence gather, we have come to conclude that the newly formed nation of Megas, is hereby, due to resource and economical lacking, unable to create a mobile suit in two days.

This has been the Fascist Whites Broadcasting Network, the FWBN and a live report from the KSS. Have a good day, and remember: Impurity is infidelity.

Another news break, the Veritech VF-1 actually has a 3rd transformational state. This is the guardian mode, and it is between the fighter and battloid modes.

OOC: I'm not that new. Although I only have a few posts, I have over 110 million people.

Greetings Megas, i am the Serafima representative that was to be sent a while ago, there was a breakdown in communication sorry,

The elegant Moonshine Parlov stepped off the boat and walked down to the dock and tried to find the leader of Megas.

she knew he would be interested in seeing her, from what she had heard he was very good in bed and a very well spoken man, she knew she was onto a winner.

OOC: I'm simply an old nation with a new name. My old nation got deleted. This nations site says I have 280 million people (Or so), but as posted at the begining of it, I claimed my population and everything from my old nation; Thus, my population is 1.48 billion. Heh..

The antion of Phalanix has fighters simmilar to the VF-1. And as a friendly exchange would like to offer you a VA-14 Pulsar for a VF-1. If you like the Pulsar we would gladly be willing to sell you some and if you wanted offer you the rites to build it.

Greetings. It is a pleasure to see other nations exploring experimental technolgy such as mechs. Tanakeir has been doing the same w/ minimal results. we have spent the last year or so constructing a platform/station in space capable of storing/launching/researching vehicles such as the veritech in zero gravity; but are more interested in vehicles based on ground combat. We would be willing to trade use of our station for information on such things.

((basically would like info plans on mech type vehicles))

Moonshine flounces around the office trying to find someone to talk to or flirt with and comes to a dead end,

she soon gets bored and goes back to her room, she is sure she was being followed....... :eek:

Due to the growing popularity of our designs, the Holy Empire of Megas has resolved to open a storefront featuring our mecha. If all nations that have proposed deals or trades with Megas would be so kind as to give us a few days, we will have a full storefront up and running from which you will be able to purchase an assortment of mecha.

she knocks on the office door and waits for a reply...... she wants to go and see if her MANY VARIED services are required at all......

OOC: Hehehe, silly newbie... Mechs are for kids.

Seriously:
Future tech tanks>Future tech mechs
Future tech aircraft>Future tech mechs that can transform into crappy fighters

(Crappy as in, it cannot be as good as a real aircraft because it has to compromise design to work as a mech)

We assure you, the technology that we are developing is capable of competing with any other future-tech weapon.

Serafima: The shadowy figure followed the fair maiden wherever she went. He was ordered to constantly keep an eye on her. Ever vigilant in his duty, he recorded everything she did in his log-book. At the time, she was approaching a door. She will like what's inside. He thought to himself.

Somebody call the noob network!

And we assure you it will lose to any other future tech weapon of equal armarment, speed or armor.

It works like this: You'll be detected first, and thus fired on first by a tank. If the gun doesn't kill you, it will knock the mech on it's arse, where it will be basically screwed.

And don't say the 'rough terrain' advantage, because that's when helicopters and VTOLs own you.

As for your variable fighters, real fighters own them because they'd be faster and more manuverable (bigger engines, more weapons, fuel, because you have to have room for all the mech bits)

Nowhere Place just began (pre-)pre-production of 8 MS-05A Zaku I MS units (OOC: which, as most UC Gundam fans know is the epitome of a shitty unit, just a step above a Ball, and the prototype of said unit, at that), mainly because we received the tech from other nations within our region and the fact that our biggest industry happens to be Arms Manufacturing. These units, however, will make up only a small fraction of our forces.

But, to be a nation no larger than ours to actually be selling VFs (which are, in all intents and purposes, much more advanced than almost all the other mech types on your production list) is absolutely absurd. The technology required would be more than your nation could possibly have achieved on its own at this point, unless you got it from Hoobeebia, the largest naiton in your region (which has only 3 nations within it).

OOC: I agree.

IC: The Confederacy , while intrigued by this technology, prefers to stand by tried and tested tank and aerospace-fighter designs.

We do indeed confess that we recieved the tech from Hobbeebia.
OOC: And as much as you people knock the mechs, somebody must like them, because they're purchasing them from our storefront. As far as technological superiority goes, read the specs on my mechs.

OOC: Another thing, if you don't like mechs, go whine about it somewhere else, because I'm tired of seeing your posts constantly degrading them. This is FREE ROLE PLAYING!, which means I can develop whatever technology I want to develop. Granted, I did develop those mechs a little too quickly, but I had help from Hobbeebia, a fellow future-tech nation.

I dont see the point of mechs myself. They are less mobile, more vulnerable, slower, more fuel intensive, harder to construct, harder to repair, more expensive and present a higher profile than tanks.

OCC: Hey when I was a beginer nation I had mechs because I was a future tech nation. If he does the proper things (posting that he is studying the tech and such) it's ligit.

OOC: Oh, sure, mechs are possible in the future, it's just that tanks and CAS aircraft of the same level are better. If I was a future tech nation, I'd make Bolos and the tanks from Hammer's slammers.

OCC: Hey when I was a beginer nation I had mechs because I was a future tech nation. If he does the proper things (posting that he is studying the tech and such) it's ligit.
OOC: Would you mind giving me a few pointers in that area?

"This will be a grand warship." Supreme Warlord Niel Hawkins commented earlier this evening. "It will be over a mile long, and capable of carrying several hundred-thousand Megasian warriors."

*This project is 18 phases long, including seperate engine and hull development. This technology is based on the robotech universe, and while I don't quite know all the technical theories behind robotechnology, feel free to ask questions.

phase 1 out of 18 complete. designs drafted. manufacturing of test engine has begun.

Phase 2 out of 18 complete. Some engine parts fabricated without difficulty.

Phase 3 out of 18 completed. All engine parts fabricated without any difficulty.

"Who are you, and what is this." the foreman answers.



Phase 4 out of 18 complete. Engine assembly begins.

Phase 5 out of 18 complete. Engine assembly continues.

Phase 6 out of 12 complete. Engine assembled. Due to BioSteel technology recieved from Raven Corps, project now consists of only 12 phases.

SpecTech is selling a small mobile unit (I guess you could call it a small mech) at our storefront www.freewebs.com/spec_tech/ it is the ST 100

its only 13.5 feet tall, so its not really a mech as you would call it. and it doesnt transform into anything. basically just a big tank turret with legs.

Phase 7 out of 12 complete. Main hull assembly begun. BioSteel integrated into alloy.

OOC: I had some problems in the RL world and got behind on my posting. I'm going to pick up the project with phase 11 out of 12 complete. Main hull assembly complete. Inner construction begun.

Phase 12 out of 12 complete. SDF-1 fully assembled. Launch scheduled for tommorow. (RL time)

Success! The SDF-1 is in geosychronous orbit over our nation. This orbit is not around Earth, but is around our asteriod-based terra-dome nation (exact location classified). We have christened the great ship the Patton, in honor of the WWII general. Further names for future ships include Eisenhower, MacArthur, Schwarzkoff, and Powell.

SDF-3 M.I.C. MacArthur
SDF-4 M.I.C. Scharwzkoff
SDF-5 M.I.C. Powell

Each is loaded with one Reflex cannon (a very large charged particle beam) capable of planet-killing. Shielding is based on Star Trek tech, and can therefore take a good beating from conventional weaponry...all other weapons are classified.
Exact length is 1.025 miles.

I question the effectiveness of transforming mecha. Specifically, you're getting a jack of all trades but master of none that will be destroyed by any dedicated platform. (A fighter in the air, a tank/ground mech on the ground.)

Let's look at the facts, these planes have to have the armor to survive combat on the ground. That means that they are automatically less maneouverable than an equivelent non transforming fighter, due to the added mass.

But, these planes can't have too much armor because they still have to fly, meaning that they have less armor than an equivelent tank or ground mech, which doesn't have to fly.

Not that I'm slamming Mecha in general, which I think are cool and can be effective with the right mindset and techbase. It's just that when you start getting planes that turn into giant robots is when you break the limits of practicality. So of course you can have your veritechs, but you've just got to keep in mind that they will most likely lose to more conventional vehicles unless you have a huge force multiplier like super pilots, autotracking guns, stealth, et cetera.

The Gaian Ascendancy welcomes another mecha based nation into the stars. As a user of Clan BattleMech/OmniMech technology and the Clan military system, we can understand the difficulty in deploying such units.

As for those that scoff at the rp idea of mecha and it's usability, mind you ALL that the current military, namely the lovely M1's, F-14's, F-117's, B-2's, on and on.. were well scoffed too at the time they were considered.

..not to mention the fact that a century ago, EVERYTHING we rp and take for granted of today's military, was fantasy as well. Juiles Verne and other such open minded types were scoffed to by the world at large.

All I will say for those that scoff, is that there's a future generation that will live with the future, and with 'any' result that occurs. Nice to know there will be people to scoff then.
