Are there any 'red cross' type orginizations out there, cause if not I'de like to establish an international humanitarian network as such. We could break such a network into respective divisions of regions and such, it'd add an additional resource to EII namely a network outside of politics that works with every government and is RPed by everyone. Just a thought...any comments?

Hey Brink, loving the new LOS post. Your damn good at that diplomatic stuff, keep it up, this RP is getting better and better I think. (When will you continue the investigation angle in Somalia?)

Nero, I have a Red Cross but it only helps Hirgizstanian causes, like Ukraine, Ivory Coast, Gulf War etc etc. From past experience with trans-national diplomatic organizations, an aid version looks un-attainable, but best of luck nonetheless.

Good idea,.

Thanks Hirg but I can't hold a candle to your writing ability. Your battle scenes are better then watching Black Hawk Down and that is no joke.

no prob, I just graduated so I got a wee bit of shiite to do but all that happens at night...so im stuck for the day, hey Lay do you want me to send someone to Layarteb city or do you want to come to the, wonderfully hostile toward the empire, city of Voldagrad. I can't send Tanya, security reasons and such but if all goes well in the first talks maybe one day the chair person (whoever it might be at the time) and your emperor can talk personally.

Thanks Lay I love to write but compared to you and Hirg I feel quite inferior.

I'll come to you but also, for security reasons, the Emperor won't be attending. The Minister of Foreign Affairs shall be present to conduct business.

I wouldn't call you inferior at all. I would call a n00b inferior, someone who can't put together a coherent sentence or someone with grammar errors left, right, center, up, down, and middle. The best way to improve is to do it more, see what you like in both Hirgy's and my posts and use it. Who cares about plagiarism here, this isn't a college thesis class.

I totally agree, if you want to improve part of your writing you just go for it and do it till your happy with it. I wanted to improve my character and combat RPing so I decided to do a long, action-filled RP based around several key characters. The more you do it and get involved and have ideas the better the writing gets, practice makes perfect.

I always say, if I wrote something and you like it, adapt it to your own. You won't learn or improve copying word for word but if you take the gist, go for it. I'm sure after my Delaney scene, Hirgy is teeming with ideas.

Well, after getting my soul sucked by Hearts of Iron II there for about a week, I'm back to really get down to business.

From what I can tell, there seems to be a nice conflict breaking :3.

If anyone's got a helpful idea for me, though, that'd be nice. Otherwise, I'm going to be stuck thinking for a good part of the evening :-P.

Edit - BTW, I thought it'd be nice to change my name to something more native sounding...

In other words, Infinite Republic. The Federal Commonwealth crap is going to be my Government Type. Federal between the Slavic States, Commonwealth with the "Hohenzollern Dominions", ie Romania and Hungary.

i'll make a post soon Brink, just had a massive hangover...or maybe just a regular headach brought on by too much drinking o.O. Still along with that work kinda wore my mind into a gooy substance so now im entertaining myself with the wonderful antics of Mario Party 8 on the wii.

Hi there to whom has the Balleny Islands in Antartica, Rhodesia made a statement somewhere I think...

Technically in RL it is a part of Ross Depency, Is that the case so here, If not Id like to make an R.P "scientific" claim on the islands with the Auckland Islands ( Which like Ross depency are parts of new Zealand in RL) is that cool?

Also Cotland is it fair to assume Sakhastan has a sizeable Cottish population?

Yes, it is.

Pushka, the the idea sounds good.

Okay I'm back. How much have I missed in the Australia Region? I'm still not on the maps or claims list.

Okay I'm back. How much have I missed in the Australia Region? I'm still not on the maps or claims list.

Nope you weren't added. You claimed Tasmania which required an RP to establish and no RP was posted. You also claimed Kangaroo Island, which sort of just got lost in the fold. Both are still available. You came in and ducked out so fast I figured you weren't coming back so I didn't push the issues. You want them though, you can have 'em.

Is there any other land left, now that my population is considerably larger?

Then in Addition to Tasmania and Kangaroo Island, I would like to claim Victoria and South Australia. That is 18,792.01 over my limit, so just clip off land starting from the west side of South Australia and going east from there.

Also I don't know much about what Terronian had in those lands, so if anyone would like to RP as his forces, I would very much appreciate the help. Thank you.:)

I think it's safe to say that Terro had good equipment but I don't recall seeing a proper listing.

OOC: Hey, can we colonize space locations or is this limited to earth?

Bull Hornia Announces Space Colonization Plans

Earlier today Alexsandr Lashenko announced plans to send humans, and colonization equipment to Mars. Scientists will then attempt to terraform, (process by which the climate, surface and known properties would be deliberately changed with the goal of making it habitable by humans and other terrestrial life).

In the not-too distant future, population growth and demand for resources may create pressure for humans to colonize new habitats such as the surface of the Earth's oceans, the sea floor, near-Earth orbital space, the moon and nearby planets, as well as mine the solar system for energy and materials. Thinking into the future, some scientists point out that the Sun will eventually grow too hot for Earth to sustain life, even before it becomes a red giant star, because all main sequence stars brighten slowly throughout their lifetimes. When this happens, it will become imperative for humans to migrate away to areas farther from the sun if they have any hope of surviving. Through terraforming, humans could make Mars habitable long before this 'deadline'. Mars could then be in the habitable zone for a while, giving humanity some thousand additional years to develop further space technology to settle on the outer rim of the solar system, before Mars becomes uninhabitable by the sun.

Mars consists of much of the chemical materials needed to terraform, including abundant carbon dioxide, water (although not as much as on Earth), and oxygen, in the form of per-nitrates in the composition of the soil. Due to the extremely low temperatures and pressures, a lot of carbon dioxide (CO2) is frozen on the poles, most of the water is either frozen or in its gaseous phase, and most of the oxygen is bound to the highly oxidized metal-oxides on the Martian surface.

It is generally thought that Mars could once have had an environment relatively similar to today's Earth, during an early stage in its development. This similarity is predominantly associated with the thickness of the atmosphere and abundance of water, both considered to have been lost over the course of hundreds of millions of years. The exact mechanisms which resulted in this change are still unclear, though several mechanisms have been proposed. For instance, the gravity of Mars today indicates that lighter gases in the upper atmosphere would have contributed to this loss, with the excess atoms dissipating into space. The lack of plate tectonics on Mars today and in the past, indicated by the thorough examination of its surface features is another plausible factor, since this would cause the recycling of gases locked up in sediments back into the atmosphere to occur at a slowed rate.

Terraforming Mars would entail two major interlaced changes: building up the atmosphere and keeping it warm. The existing Martian atmosphere consists mainly of carbon dioxide, a known greenhouse gas, so once the planet begins to heat, more CO2 enters the atmosphere from the frozen reserves on the poles, adding to the greenhouse effect. This means that the two processes of building the atmosphere and heating it would augment one another, and make terraforming easier. However, on a large scale, controlled application of certain techniques over enough time to achieve sustainable changes would be required to make theory a reality.

Actually that is entirely different from Earth II. Earth: Second Resurrection has a different premise to Earth II. Earth II was originally founded because Earth I was full and what not and grew from there.

I believe you're discussing politics through a soccer (football) analogy, more specifically the English soccer system. The U.S., being the most influential country in the world in terms of politics where the heavyweights come to play, is "the Premier League", the top division, and thus everyone pays attention to it. Britain, conversely, is so insignificant politically that it's like the Nationwide Conference Third Division (well, the Blue Square North and South divisions, since the Conference is no longer sponsored by Nationwide and only has two levels), which is actually the sixth level down from the Premier League in the English soccer system. For more on the English system, look here:

Pretty much...it's scary to think that a joke party can do a better job than the "real" party, but that's the reality of the situation right now. I mean, Ontario and Quebec held a joint Cabinet meeting to discuss issues the Capitol usually discusses and the Prairie provinces hammered out free trade agreements with the U.S. states bordering them. If that doesn't show how inept Ottawa is right now, I don't know what does.

Lay, due to time differences, it would probably be easiest for us to discuss the Brazilian plans on here or on TGs.

The current 536 serving F-22B Raptors will be replaced, one for one by the newer and upgraded model, the F-45A Scorpion. In addition, the Imperial Layartebian Air Force will seek to replace the 2,664 F-16G and F-16H Falcons in service as well.

Also, even though SL resigned I have his bank files and I will be doing some work to get that active, hopefully in a week or so. I really just have to sit down and iron it out.

Can I buy them?

I need a new long range, all-weather interceptor for the Alaskan Air Force, time to design one.

Perhaps the L.D.C. could help you out, if you want, telegram me your requirements and I will be more than happy to draw up a proposal. Include size, range, weapons abilities, range, ceiling, speed, and how many you want and I'll see if the L.D.C. can make some specially awesome. I used to be the #1 arms dealer for a long time but I've lost that title to many others, time to get it back :).

But what if Panucci stood up, rather than did the typical Italian thing of rolling around on the floor, surely then it would be onside. For all the cheating in their game, the Italians deserved that. Come the Oranje!

You get clocked that hard and tell me if you get up...and what, the Dutch don't flop either? C'mon now.

I doubt the correct call would have changed the game (Holland was just better, even before van Nistelrooy) but that was still a bad call, I won't relent on that.

Brydog's fighter is kickass!!!

Lay, that fighter is awesome.

Thanks, any changes you would like? I took a lot of liberty with the specifications you gave me but basically you gave me an F-14. While the most epic awesome fighter of all time, I didn't feel that the F-14 would have suited you properly for what you were looking for in the end. You really would have only had 4.5 generation with those specifications so I gave you 5.5 :).

It s pretty kickass...

BEHOLD THE NEWS!

As you are all probably aware, today is Friday the 13th, usually unlucky. But today, of all days, the luck (and backbone) of the Irish people has defeated evil once again.

How?

Well, yesterday Ireland was the only nation in the so called 'European Union' to vote on the Lisbon Treaty, which is the failed EU Constitution in all but name (the same Constitution rejected several years ago by France, Holland and others), a fascist document intent on destroying the hard won democracy of all nations on the European continent.

But a nation of just over 6 Million (4 if you don't include Northern Ireland, because we didn't get to vote, we're under the British dictatorship) today, on track to upstage the machinations of the un-elected bureaucrats in the EU. Our 2.5 Million+ voters have spoken for the 490 Million forcibly silenced (because Ireland was the ONLY nation to give its people a referendum on a treaty that would sign away independence) people across Europe to stop the onslaught that many believed had ended with Hitler's death in 1945, but of course continues in the EU.

The Celtic Tiger has roared for freedom and democracy and has stopped the fascist Lisbon Treaty dead in its tracks (because if a single country rejects it it is kaput! Although, have no doubt the Hitler-fanciers in EU power will try and force it in the backdoor again as democracy means nothing to them). The people of Europe owe Ireland a massive debt of gratitude for preserving their sovereignty and speaking for them when they couldn't.

Our David has killed their Goliath. Democracy at work today in Ireland.

Will the L.F.L. get involved now/?

Yes, technically you could already be involved. I won't be RPing it for a bit but there are SOF operations going on out of Mandiana in Guinea Bissau. It would be stuff like laser designation (for COH and USB aircraft), assassinations, behind enemy lines, stuff like that. Be my guest on that front.
The large ground-force thrust into Aboisso will come soon.

Like it or not, the trend in the world is for *more* EU-type systems and not less. Large countries just don't work anymore politically, so they'd rather splinter off and only unite economically (because the reality of the global economy means that small countries aren't self-sustaining). In fact, I doubt in 2100 Canada and the U.S. are even going to exist- there's just too much regionalism.

I think the economic side of the EU is beneficial, I don't think thats in dispute. The political side is what worries me, and a lot of other people. Sovereignty, I think and hope, will always trump inter-regional organizations. Canada and the US (and Mexico) have NAFTA, I reckon thats about as close as they'll ever get economically. Politically, I think all three are far too different to ever come together. (Then again, the same thing could have been said of European nations and now looks what happend!)

Trust me though, I live in the so called EU and it isn't democratic in the least, you can't vote for who runs it and who sets the policies. You can only vote for European Parliament Members (MEPs) and they are useless because the Parliament is a rubber stamp and there are so many differences any agreements would take light years.
(We're used to a lack of democracy in N. Ireland though, since we can't vote in British elections like the Scots and Welsh, oh no. We get told what to do by that Dictator in No.10. Tony Blair was great, he actually listened and helped get our local politicians back in office, but they just get overruled by the current Prime Minister so we're back to dictatorship again. Ain't it grand?)

Yeah when will I be committing those aircraft I have and gorund forces?

Commit the aircraft whenever you want, the air campaign is ongoing, all the time. I am currently working on the ground invasion into Aboisso, so expect that to be posted by Friday, then your ground forces can get rolling aswell.

OOC: New aircraft everybody. Prae said it was ok... Thanks to Lay for the halp.
IC:
Earlier today the Sukhoi Branch in Bull Hornia announced the release of a new fighter, The Su-36 "Flanker-I." The Flanker-I is based off the Su-27 but has upgraded flight systems and air search RADAR. It has many features that the Su-27 lacked, including: the ability to refuel while in-flight, thrust vectoring, and advanced AESA RADAR.

Su-36 "Flanker-I" Air Superiority Fighter
http://www.globalaircraft.org/photos/planephotos/su-27_1.jpg



Background

The Bull Hornian Air Force had acquired Su-27s after being freed from Soviet control. In the rapidly changing battlefield the 27 was quickly becoming obsolete. So leading Bull Hornian engineers began working on an upgraded version. They had begun designing in 2000, they had many difficult challenges to overcome. First, the Su-27 had very primitive air search RADAR, a newer system was needed. Second, the Su-27 is not capable of refueling while in flight, this capability is basically standard for all Air Superiority Fighters, so that needed to be added also. Their first prototype was not the success it was made out to be, it was difficult to maneuver, so the engineers added another feature, thrust vectoring.

Now, the stage was set for greatness, pilots would no longer fly obsolete aircraft into the face of their demise. They would be flying newer, more advanced, fighters, that would give them a fighting chance, it was the birth of the Su-36 "Flanker-I"

Overview

The Su-36 is roughly the same size as the Su-27, but has a more advanced RADAR and flight controls. It is crewed (hopefully) by two personnel, a Pilot and a RADAR Intercept Officer, who is in charge of aircraft detection and basically serves as another pair of eyes.

Design

They Su-36 has multiple features that set it apart from the Su-27, such as:
An Advanced AESA system
Advanced Imaging Systems
In-flight Refuel Capability
Advanced Flight Control
The AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) system is capable of "seeing" targets at over 200 kilometers, the system is referred to as the "Argos" Mk.1 AESA system.

The Su-36 has visual light, thermal, and infrared cameras for targeting and target acquisition.

As is known by many, the Su-27 is not capable of in-flight refueling, but the Su-36 is, it also has a small LED monitor and infrared camera to help position the fuel nozzle in the right place.

The Su-36 has thrust vectoring engines, meaning it can make sharper maneuvers while still being in control, this may help pilots achieve the upper hand in combat, meaning they have a better chance of coming out alive. The pilot has the ability to manually aim and lock onto targets by looking at the target, eye reading sensors pick up this movement, and the he may press a button to lock on to that target.

Variants

There are no variants at this time.

(Just for a little sneak peek if anyone's interested in knowing what it looks like check out the YF-23 ^.^)

Would I be able to jump into the Ukrainian conflict real quick (I wish to do some supplying of rebel forces there as well as add a little somethin else to the scene)

If anyone wants to help maybe I would love it, don't really wanna post up in the draftroom though...don't really want to hear critisism on something thats not really all that finished.

Just some minor things. The operational ceiling shouldn't be higher than the maximum ceiling and you have a typo on the fuel. With only 952kg of fuel you won't get more than a few miles from the airbase before your plane is out of gas.

Ya, the fuel thing I knew was wrong but with only an hour of work to compile that I just slapped what I saw they had on the wiki for the YF-23 onto it. Thanks for pointing out the ceilings though, within the next few pages here I'll be posting a full informative post about it, this was just to introduce it so I wouldn't be left out of the group of new planes coming out (Don't wanna be late for the party ya know =P)

So, I'm gonna do a quick production run for the "Flanker-I", if anyone wants a couple. (20 in 1st production run)

I'll probably export the F-55 after Brydog gets his fill.

So basically, you've copy-pasted wiki's faulty stats for the YF-23 and given it a new name.

International address directed toward Hirgizstan

The state is very pleased to hear that the European states of France, Germany and Switzerland are being freed to self-govern their own. This crucial step shows the state that we were wrong in our assumtions of the government of Hirgizstan. Although relativly out of our concern this step allows us to feel the world has gained less tension and hopfully this could provide better terms for which this state and Hirgizstan speak.

(So I assume NG's return just fell through then?)

"Shadow Moses is an island south-west of Alaska in the Bering sea off the Fox Islands." I like it as part of my claim.

Checking in real quick, how be things going?

PS: Won't be back in full force till August.

"Shadow Moses is an island south-west of Alaska in the Bering sea off the Fox Islands." I like it as part of my claim.

It probably already is but I will take a look into it.

Gentlemen, for the record RomeW and his brother are cool people! They now officially like Jack Daniels, though it might have been a little strong for them LOL!

Good to know. Their next scheduled stop is in Philadelphia and lunch on South Street...or tenth and Walnut with me.

And you ignore the foreigner...bastards.

Another bit of a preview from later on in Ride the Lightning.

"There's a scripture passage from the Book of Isaish that reads, 'Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the stability of thy times.' They put it on the GE building down in Rockefeller Center for a reason. I don't really know why, it was 1933, things were bad, the Depression and what not. Sort of has a ring to it today, don't you think?" Things were quiet on top of the bridge, overlooking the island of Manhattan. Rebel forces had breached Governor's Island, the Emperor's stronghold and last remaining, major, government holdout. The war was already over, the last bits of fighting coming to a slow stop all around Layarteb. Standing atop the Queensboro Bridge were these two snipers. They had been stationed there to provide sniper fire against enemy fast moving boats running through the East River. Far in the distance, they could see the setting sun and it cast its orange rays over the battle torn city.

"At least we won the war."

"Won? Nobody won. We fought our own brothers but for what? What glory are we taking home?"

"It's over. The reign is over."

"It isn't over. This war will never be over. You and I, we'll live this war everyday of our lives and in our sleep too. You know I shot a kid with a doll because he had a grenade? A kid! With a grenade! C'mon you can't tell me we won. Not with that."

"Civil war. It isn't meant to be civil."

"You can say that again..."

I'll post a thread up along with one claiming those two territories...also with this addition of land I can come out with the chechen uprising (revised version) thread and put that back into play. Its gunna have to be after a little while, I got work in an hour or so till real late then I gotta take some more time afterward to walk home...but I claim those territories and anyone who dares post a claiming thread will be answering to the neighboring military zone of the chechen states that I have set up....

With the relations thread, if you wish to start it (if you just choose not to wait till I get back) just a little info, with your arrival the city of Voldagrad is ment to look like an overly nationalistic parade of flags and banners along with strict military protection across the designated paths the caravan would be taking your delegate, only two of the 28 (This isn't the correct number...but its close) councilmembers will be greeting you along with their aides and such but mainly the bulk of the talks will be within the council chambers infront of the federal congressional council without Chairwomen Victoria as she is in the USB.

Eh...so anyone going to tell me what happened since I left?

not much, a lot of opening of talks and such but otherwise the only major thing to go down was really just a verbal confrontation and nothing serious, something about the return of the fourth reich and me not liking that idea one bit and everyone else complaining about me complaining about NG's return then it all pittered out into nothing as NG just disappeared again.

I would like to claim Switzerland, please. :-)

International news information

Ealier today a report was brought to this news industry that gave evidence toward CSN bombings of the Ukrainian city of Kerch without permission from that territories direct government within the Eurasian empire. The bombings were to discourage Ukrainian fighters from entering into the chechen zone as well as shatter any possibilities that the chechen rebels could build a supply line between the two zones. Reports that suppliers of the chechen rebels could also be supplying the ukraining rebels has the state's council in an uproar about the closeness of the two fighting zone's and the distance in relations of those nations fighting off the rebel 'scum' so to speak. When asked about the bombings councilman Joesph Maltik from the Kirovian province had this to say.

"Whether we had permission or not our enemies were within that city and the actions stand as the correct course. It seems whether the Eurasians would think the same stands to be seen but I stand faithfully by our militaries ability to locate and distroy the supply line of chechen rebel forces."

In an opposite side of the spectrum councilman Paul Rufkin replied to us with the following.

"It was a mistake in my book, the supply line of chechen rebels was not built by ukrainian fighters. We have evidence that points toward OA members as being those culprits and yet we turn around and attack a group of fighters that could prove useful to us in the fight against OA dominance. Although the territory of Krasnodar nearly touchs Ukrainian soil it doesn't mean it's within our area of attack, no permission should mean not doing it. Those bombings could easily provoke actions from Ukrainian fighters, because of them I must completely support militarizing and strengthening the Chuska pennisula that seperates the territories. We need tighter control and not preventative action, the rebels have their supplies already we just need to make sure they don't get more fighters as well.

As this information spreads to the international community only time will tell what is to occur within the world.

With the Third World Cup on the horizon the Football community is coming alive with anticipation. The World Cup Commission, headed by Ezra Hathenburg, has released this listing of the top five best players in the world.

5. Jackson Villareal | Hawdawg: This High School phenomenon was only seventeen when he entered the world stage in 2006. He has certainly quieted any critics since then leading Hawdawg’s national team in goals and points while taking them to the 2006 Finals against Hirgizstan. His speed and ball control are second to none and his ability to finish has made him a threat even at this early stage in his career. With Villareal as the centerpiece, the Hawdawg National Team should be competitive for years to come.

4. Hector Colón | Layarteb: Hector went relatively unnoticed in the first World Cup but that was fine by him. He worked effortlessly leading his team to a modest third place finish leading his team in points. During the second World Cup, riding on an aggressive Layarteb offense, he led the tournament in goals scored landing him the Golden Shoe Award. His offensive flair allowed the Layarteb National Team to improve to second place.

3. Chipo Banga | United States of Brink: Banga has led the United States in points since year one of international play. He currently stands in second for most points in World Cup play with nine behind this list’s number one. With eight goals he is an offensive powerhouse that led his team to the World Cup in 2007. Paired with rising star Farai Mosi his points should continue to increase.

2. Dunkirk | Hawdawg: Hands down the best goalie in the world. His energetic style of goaltending landed him the first Yashin Award and a runner up for the second. He kept a young Hawdawg team in the tournament during the first year of International competition. His leadership and talent combine to make him the second best player in the world.

1. Ahmed Al Karani | Hirgizstan: Karani is a sheer goal scoring machine. Notching eight goals and a Golden Shoe Award during the first World Cup he continued his scoring touch in the second year notching six more points. His ability to find the back of the net catapulted the Hirigzstan National team from underdog to World Cup Champions during the first World Cup. His presence is felt every time he touches the field and teams make adjustments specifically around him.

What you could do, since I'll take Ukraine then, is RP an escalation of violence and rebel attacks. Say I've been funding the rebel groups in an effort to gain Nerotikan support and keep them away from the chechen states. I could then, invade with a large force on the lower pennisula block (I'de claim it was in order to secure the Krasnodar border from ukrainian fighters coming over into the chechen states) I'de give small military help to the rebels and escalate the fighting even higher then finally you withdraw and I takeover =D...just a thought

Nero is the Chechnya thing post-Ukraine or during Ukraine?

during...since I already had a thread opened about it im still counting it sorta valid so the fighting there has grown into a serious conflict, it'd be easy for fighters to go to and from Ukraine to fight against either opposition.

Happy Fourth of July

I will be away from tomorrow for about two weeks so put me on vacation mode or whatever until I get back. See y'all later.

Hey guys. I'm back home now after nearly two weeks on the road traveling the Eastern U.S. It's too much to write in a single post here, but my brother and I pretty much went all over and we had a lot of fun. It was great seeing you Lay in New York (and I apologize Brink it didn't quite work out for us); and the South was everything I expected- very hot and very friendly (we *did* actually make it down to Atlanta- and we didn't have to rush back home at all...probably could have gone further south now that I think of it). I'd say the highlights were New York, the South (except Richmond- that place was a dump) and Milwaukee, which just may be my new "home" (it's a giant pub and has that small town feel while having all the pluses of the big city, like the bus :D). It sucks having to come back but I guess I have to. :( Hope our world is still in good shape without me. :D

Good stuff man! My text messages to your brother's phone didn't count as international. He ever find that church service he was looking for by the way? Also, how the hell did you make it down to Atlanta and then up to Milwaukee? Were you doing 120?

Thanks. :) That's good to know- unfortunately after Mass the phone broke so we didn't receive any afterward :(. Phone's back up and running now- battery just needed cleaning. He did find a service- a small Church that was near St. Patrick's Cathedral (which we actually thought of as an option but got there too late)- which didn't surprise me. Toronto has late night services, I figured New York would have as well. Actually, some parts of the South we could go 120- KPH that is (75MPH is 120KPH), but we wound up working out that we'd have to be in Milwaukee the Saturday night after we'd seen you so that's why we were able to make it to Atlanta. We even got to see the Coke Museum and got to taste different Coke products from around the world (they apparently like mouthwash in Djibouti...). We're definitely going back- Mike wants to see the Twins play some time this year and I want to see the Predators and party in Nashville (which looked like a lot of fun); and fit in a trip to New England (which we missed) as well (on top of returning to NYC of course- I am mad I didn't get in until 2AM on a Saturday, but good to know you guys don't have archaic drinking laws like we do up here).

Yeah we had about 2 1/2 hours before last call to enjoy. By then though of course we were all three sheets to the wind. I mean shit I had like what just the one shot and beer after you got there and I was already five in the hole by then.

Next time you should make it down to Raleigh, NC.

Good deal, Rome. You didn't really make it into the Very Deep South where I live -- high humidity, high heat, high crime rates, low income. Good to talk to you again. It's been some time. Anyway, I require one small piece of land in Europe or Central Asia and the rest will fall back into place as it was before... almost.

Also, my birthday is tomorrow. I'll be 22.

F-55 Shooting Star II now available for general export.

F-55 Shooting Star II

http://www.forsakenoutlaw.com/Graphics/Nation-States/LDC/f55.jpg

Overview

The history of the F-55 Shooting Star II dates back to the F-22 replacement program. Designed alongside the F-45 Scorpion, the F-55 Shooting Star II offered better range, performance, and weapons capabilities than the F-22 but was deemed inferior alongside the F-45 Scorpion. As such, the Shooting Star II was placed aside, only to be resurrected in early 2008. Seeking an all-weather, long-range interceptor, the Republic of Alaska (Brydog) was approached by the Layartebian Defense Corporation - Export Division. The F-55 Shooting Star II was offered with some changes to fit the Alaskan Air Force requirements.

Airframe

The Shooting Star II has an airframe similar to the F-22 but with noticeable differences. The wings are wider and larger to provide more area for even better lift than the F-22 had. In addition, there are two, small canards forward of the wings that provide lift and assist with agility. Original requirements called for a swing-wing fighter but such would have jeopardized the superior stealth advantage of the Shooting Star II.

The length of the fuselage is 64.00 feet (19.51 m) long and the main wingspan is 46.00 feet (14.02 m). The aircraft has a height of 16.75 feet (5.11 m) and has the same tail layout as the F-22 has. In addition, the canards have a span of 26.00 feet (7.92 m) and the total wing area is in excess of 950 ft² (88.26 m²).

The biggest change to the airframe of the Shooting Star II from its prototype days is the addition of strengthened undercarriage, allowing operation from rough, remote airfields.

Avionics

The Shooting Star II is equipped with an advanced and long-lasting avionics suite. Its primary system is the AN/APG-77(V)-2 AESA radar and it also carries the AN/AAQ-37 EOTS system, two systems used on the F-22 and F-35. Originally, the Shooting Star II was fitted with the same systems as the F-45 but these have not been cleared for export.

The AN/APG-77(V)-2 radar is a solid-state, active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, composed of 1,975 transmit\receive modules. Like its previous versions, the (V)-2 has a 120° field of view (60° left and 60° right. 60° up and 60° down) and the ability to conduct Synthetic Aperture and Inverse Synthetic Aperture radar processing. The (V)-2 is a direct development of the (V)-1, which added the full air-to-ground capability that the F-35's AN/APG-81 AESA radar had. The (V)-2 further refines that capability as well as provide a longer tracking and detection range over previous versions. It has a search range of approximately 250 miles (402 km) against bomber sized targets and 120 miles (193 km) against fighter sized targets.

The AN/AAQ-37 EOTS system is a slightly improved version of the EOTS used on the F-35 Lightning II. The EOTS used on the Shooting Star II carries the same three systems: CCD TV camera, laser designator, and forward looking infrared. These three systems allow the Shooting Star II to fly completely passively of emissions, even though the AESA radar is a low-probability of intercept (LPI) system. The CCD TV camera of the EOTS allows the pilot of the Shooting Star II to positively identify both aerial and ground targets before engaging, providing a safer environment for friendly forces. At higher altitudes, with a further horizon, the CCD TV camera can provide accurate targeting for standoff weapons. The laser designator allows for range finding and can be used in both air-to-air and air-to-ground engagements. Against ground targets, it can be used above 40,000 ft. (12,192 meters). The FLIR system acts as two separate devices, depending on the engagement. In air-to-air engagements, it functions as a powerful IRST and, in air-to-ground engagements it is an imaging infrared sensor. This allows the Shooting Star II to fly completely "noses cold," reducing its interception range.

The self-defense system of the Shooting Star II is unique as well. It revolves around the AN/ALQ-214 IDECM, advanced electronic countermeasures system. Able to jam an array of systems, ranging from radars to communications, the IDECM also integrates various missile warning sensors and the radar warning receiver of the aircraft, to provide the pilot(s) with minimal visual stimuli, allowing for less stress. In addition, the Shooting Star II is equipped with 120 chaff bundles and 60 flares.

Cockpit

The cockpit of the Shooting Star II is very advanced. It takes much of its layout from the F-22 and F/A-18 Super Hornet. The single-seat variant of the Shooting Star II is very similar to the F-22 whereas the twin-seat variant is similar to the twin-seat Super Hornet. The cockpit is completely heated and air conditioned and the canopy is tinted with gold, to reduce its radar signature, as first observed with the F-16 Falcon. The cockpit is designed around the pilot and lessons learned from previous fifth generation aircraft have created a cockpit that is entirely pilot-friendly.

Engines and Fuel

The Shooting Star II is powered by two turbofan engines, both providing afterburners and thrust vectoring. The LDC-AE-78A engines that power the Shooting Star II are fed by twin air-intakes that shield the fan blades from radar. Each engine puts out 22,500 pounds (100.09 kN) of thrust in military setting and 36,000 pounds (160.14 kN) of thrust at full afterburner, slightly more than the F-22. When the Shooting Star II is empty, the thrust-to-weight ratio is slightly over 2:1 and, at maximum weight, it is 0.8:1. At normal combat weight, the Shooting Star II has a thrust-to-weight ratio of around 1.07:1.

The Shooting Star II carries 29,400 lb. (13,335 kg) of fuel in the single-seat variant and 28,200 lb. (12,791 kg) of fuel in the twin-seat variant. The combat radius of the Shooting Star II is limited to 1,450 miles (2,334 km) and the ferry range is 4,100 miles (6,598 km).

Performance

The Shooting Star II is a very high performance fighter. Built with the lessons learned on the F-22, it exhibits even more amazing performance figures. At maximum thrust and, at an altitude of 36,000 feet or higher, the Shooting Star II is literally a shooting star. Its maximum speed is 1,749 mph (2,815 kph) or Mach 2.65. It is rumored to be able to achieve Mach 2.75 in clean, lightened conditions. At sea-level, the aircraft can fly as fast as 950 mph (1,529 kph) or Mach 1.25.

Speed isn't its only capability. Climbing at a speed of 65,000 feet per minute (330 m/s), the Shooting Star II can zoom climb to 85,000 feet (25,908 m) and operate at an altitude of 75,000 feet (22,860 m). In addition to this impressive ability, the Shooting Star II has a takeoff run of just 950 feet (290 m) and a landing distance of 3,950 (1,204 m) without the aide of a drag chute. The Shooting Star II is also rated for -4G and +10.5G maneuvers, although pilot limitations can inhibit full performance.

Lastly, the Shooting Star II is designed in the wake of the fifth generation series of fighters. As such, its stealth capabilities are more refined and it has a radar signature approximately 25% less than that of the F-22. In addition, the skin of the aircraft as well as the stealth paint used allow for limited defense against over-the-horizon style radars.

Variants

The Shooting Star II is offered in four variants in two blocks. The "A" and "B" variants are single and twin-seat models, respectively, without air-to-ground capabilities. Each cost $110,000,000.00 per unit. The "C" and "D" variants are single and twin-seat models, respectively, with added air-to-ground capabilities and cost $120,000,000.00 per unit.

Weapons

The Shooting Star II is a fighter first. Its weapons load is optimized for air-to-air engagements but a block upgrade can easily provide it with air-to-ground capabilities. The Shooting Star II is equipped, primarily, with four internal bays, two ventral and two side. It can also fit six external pylons. In the "A" and "B" versions none of these stations can mount air-to-ground weapons. The "C" and "D" versions allow for air-to-ground weapons capabilities.

The Shooting Star II is also equipped with a GAU-12/U Equalizer Gatling gun. The GAU-12/U is a fire-barrel Gatling gun and it fires a potent and deadly 25mm shell. Originally, the Shooting Star II was equipped with the M304A1 Impulse Revolver Cannon, a 25mm weapon. The GAU-12/U is fed by 800 rounds of ammunition, featured in a drum behind the cockpit.

The internal weapons bays of the Shooting Star II are very similar to those of the F-22 except they are slightly larger and have more capacity. The two ventral bays are rated up to 2,400 pounds (1,088 kg) each and can be fitted with as many as four pylons per bay, each rated at 600 pounds (272 kg). This allows for a full complement of eight beyond-visual-range missiles or four to six long-range missiles. For the "C" and "D" variants, the ventral bays can carry up to four air-to-ground stores each, such as the JDAM, AARGM, Brimstone, Maverick, and JSOW, depending on the size and weight of the munition. The two side bays are strictly for air-to-air munitions only and can each mount a pair of dogfight missiles. Each side bay is rated up to 600 pounds (272 kg) though a pair of short-range missiles will often weigh under 400 pounds (181 kg). If the missile has large forward canards, the side bay is limited to only one missile per bay due to space.

The external pylons of the Shooting Star II are a mix of those on the F-22 and F-35. There are six pylons in total. The inner four pylons can carry up to 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg) each and the outer two pylons are limited to 300 pounds (136 kg) each. The inner four pylons are limited to only air-to-ground munitions, external drop tanks, or sensor pods. In the "A" and "B" version, they can only carry external drop tanks or sensor pods. The outer two pylons are for air-to-air missiles only and can carry only light, short-range missiles, such as the Sidewinder. These same missiles would be featured in the side bays of the Shooting Star II. Though these external pylons compromise stealth, the addition of four external, 600-gallon drop tanks can add 15,840 pounds (7,185 kg) of fuel, giving excellent ferry range capabilities.

Get excited people! Lets make this a nice way to introduce the newbies to EII and perhaps ease some tensions.

But tension is what makes EII worthwhile in the first place.

Alright so unforeseen complications putting the new parts together (BIOS being out of date, short IDE cable, etc.) so I'll be a few more days than originally planned.

Awwwwww yeahhhh sons!!! The hardware is a-okay and now I'm just loading the software. I'll be up and running in no time. My girl, she fought me yesterday but today she was in the mood for the upgrade.

Word of advice, when you have an ATX Full Tower and you buy any new mobo chances are the IDE port is all the way at the bottom and hard to reach so make sure you have a long enough cable.

I have to buy a 36" cable and guess what the $2.99 cable has a $6.99 shipping charge.

Important Announcement:

It is with great sorrow that I must announce my imminent departure from Earth II. It has been an interesting and fun filled 2+ years, I have enjoyed my time here and will relish the kinship from the members. The positive out of this after 7 very difficult years with numerous failed attempts my wife and I are expecting our first child. Taking care of any and all needs of my wife is now my number one priority.

I have a few requests before I go:

1. I would like to see the storyline about my departure focus on the anarchy created upon the sudden death by heart attack of Gordon Wells. The sudden loss of the Prime Minister would be the only reason my government would collapse overnight.

2. If you RP for some of my lands for god's sake do it right man! While I won't be on much I WILL be reading the epilogue of my lands.

3. Spizania, the next time you do pick a fight don't wait weeks and weeks to post. It kills the RP. Also learn to take reasonable losses, it will earn you respect in the RPing community not ridicule.

I am gifting the following lands to people:

OK gets my part of the UAE

Cotland gets Sweden and Finland

USB gets Nigeria

Hirgy gets Sao Tome and Principe

My beloved Texas will go back to Rome, I worked with him a long time ago to secure a peaceful state there and I want him to carry on with that.


My deed is done. Farewell Earth II, maybe I can come back at a later date.

Congradulations! As I said before, I hope everyone has a healthy and exciting future. Good Luck on becoming a papa.

Good luck Hawdawg, best of luck with the family and enjoy everything it brings you =)

Go for it. It would be good if you and I formed some sort of anti-thing between us, it'd be fun.

I am.

Okay good :). It's still going on...I made a new post in "The Winter War"...the floor is still open for questions.

EDIT- Now that I have Texas back, can I take the small area that SB had? If I need to give something up for it I will.

Well then, although I didn't want it to really happen while the OA offensive was still going...I have a proposition. Since Ukraine is switching control here and since your already fighting there would you guys be willing to co-op this offensive, after all were both dealing with the same problem, so what do ya say?

Just out of interest, how do you guys keep ontop of the number of posts in this thread? I come back after a night and theres several more pages in some cases

I'm still alive and kicking, just got back from vacation (somewhat).

Hawdawg, I'm sorry to see you go man, but I completely understand the reasons why. Regardless of what some people here may claim *shifty eyes*, real life always takes presedence over nationstates. Good luck with your family, and here's to a smooth and trouble-free pregnancy and upbringing of Hawdawg Jr.

*raises pint*

Also, I accept Sweden and Finland from Hawdawg.

Nero we need to talk, I'll be on AIM this whole sunday, get online.

Okay good :). It's still going on...I made a new post in "The Winter War"...the floor is still open for questions.

EDIT- Now that I have Texas back, can I take the small area that SB had? If I need to give something up for it I will.

SB is for newbies only. I have to check but you might be over the land limit too with Texas, you were close to the limit before. I'll check and get back to you.

I personally don't see a problem I mean you're basically aiding the rebels who I wuold assume are pro-Nerotikan, them winning and all.

I just go to my last post and read onward.

I'll give something else up for the newbies in return...I know I'm going to have to pare down anyway, I'll just leave that land (or an equitable amount to the counties that SB had) for newbies instead. It'll be like a trade. Besides, I'm not asking for a whole new state/territory or even a large chunk of land...just a small sliver of land that's already part of a state I'm going to own already.

Guys, I'll give up Tambov and Mordvinia to whoever want them, but preferably newbies.

All right. In that case, I shall now finally give up territorial rights to Yamalia and Khantia-Manisa to Nerotika (but I keep the rights to the oil).

A Nerotikan Empire emerges. The Empire is wary and looks upon this development with glee that we can finally have a true adversary to annihilator!

Your econermy is fail! You should revise your population stats too with all this new land and I'll update the excel sheet.

Oh I guess to make it official, I gladdly accept the territories of Yamalia and Khantia-Mansia.

Alright i'll up my pop to 195,000,000...and im still confuzzled about the time zone thing, I just don't get what im suppose to do with it.
