tell me anything helpful; im not really FT so i may nee dsome hints

ECF gave me some ships and money but im clueless really

I am going to have a double-RPer nation, having a 2010 and future tech in one nation.

One of my designs is a moble suit that resembles the new race that is comming with my FT portion and its new technology. I would like to talk to you about it if you wish to go far enough into FT and get me on my feet there.

im totally new to this as well; i was hoping for help with the designs but my friend ECF is teaching me the basics

EDIT: i Rp in like 3 times zones lol; earth 5, WW2 sometimes, and now FT

Well, I know all about moble suits, as they are fairly big tanks and infantry armor, but of cource with my new race means new design and was wondering if you went far enough future tech (around 2800 in Earth tech, but the RL time is around 2340 in the planet's years) me and you could co-design new ships and such, as my race is a little "wacky" I guess, and would be different.

why mobile suits? tracked vehicles are faster, harder to destroy, better gun platforms, and have the capacity to carry more guns.

I personaly prefer variable mobile suits. Hell my airforce and space force uses varible fighters. Very useful but we do have afew MS for the more dificult areas where tanks are worthless.

not tanks, i'm thinking larger, more like Bolos. Mountain too tall to get over on tracks? Blow the top off. City streets to narrow? Who cares, 36,000 tons of duralloy armor doesn't care really. With two fusion reactors and up to three Hellbores and two Hellrails.

huh im talking about like gundam stuff; mobile suits capitble of suit/ship and suit/suit combat

not tanks

I understand, and I used to be into that gig, and then my friend ran a scenario. Keith Laumer's Bolos from his book series against Gundam suits from the Gundam series. So far I have read every Bolo book except for Bolo Brigade and Book 3: The Triumphant. (Can't find it...I just skipped it)

oooh, gundam. A little off topic, but which Gundams have you seen?

all of them; ive seen SOOOOO much anime and xenosaga (its an rip off of gundam but an damn good show)

Even those weird ones, where the gundams didn't even look like gundams? Oh, movies too? I'm interested because I haven't seen many who are into gundam, even among anime fans.

thats because most people think of it as an kinda kiddy show (which it is; kids piloting 100 million dollar mobile suits and destroying all oppostion) but the tech is still interesting

my friend is making & buying parts to make a Madaloriun Armour suit

My ideal mech was always a lightweight, UBER-output stealth mech, with medium armor plating and close range laser-scythes. designed for assassination and behind enemy lines work.

Couple that with a heavy artillery mech from the back lines and a front line infantry mech with lots of weapon variety, (small machine guns, rifle, pistol sidearm and missle compartments out the yingyang)

......yeah

Find a way to hinder guided weapon's useless, and then you'll need mobile suits.

Frankly, look at the MS-6F Zaku 2 and ask yourself, "If I had a squad of these, how quickly could I destroy a battalion of tanks."

You forget, mobilesuits are atleast 20 meters tall, and have a small nuclear reactor.

Take a Zaku F for example, a 120mm machinegun, basically you're shooting 120mm rounds, picture an Abrams firing its main gun, 600 times a minute.

In other words, their very cost effective if you have a large econemy, they could lay waste to present base defense and such. But there would be issues against wire guided missiles and such, and large cannons. Plus getting the reactor small enough to fit inside of a mobilesuit.

I myself would love to have Zakus...and Goufs...and Doms. Hell I'd love to have my own little Zeon navy. Tis why I'm not considering future tech.

apperently im getting no negative feed back so im going to create:

750 of the X-75 (main battle version
250 of the X-76 (also going to make an B version; like sniper)

And this is going to take (guessing) 3 years to complete this order at an total cost of: 45,000,000,000 billion
(my nation isnt that ready to machine an mass order of suits yet; once the nations war industry is tooled for production it wont take as long)

My FT budget and MT budget are diffirent intirely considering Ft is further down the timeline

Nuclear.....uh no....thery're eletricly powered systems and for populsion they're hydrogen/oxygen full celled (like the shuttle)

Nuclear isnt really going to provide rocket type thrust

watch 08th ms team, they ambush a squad of old style Zaku's, and they say flat out, don't hit the nuclear reactor

Exactly, and if you were to go further enough into FT, than you could develop cannons they used in the Gundam series, like plasma guns and Charged Particle Rifles, although those are fairly large and heavy (use it on your sniper).

Nice idea, now you have me going to be FT now. Congrats.

just remember Mobile suits CANNOT work on their own, in space, they need ships to be launch platforms and retreat points. that'd take a nice chunk out of your budget too.
