Homeland Defence Program Initiated

As part of the homeland defence initiative, Ankhmeti Defensive Industires in conjunctions with Wilson Nano-Industries is proud to announce the creation of it's new offensive/defensive satellite system.

The system consists of 800 satellites in orbit above Ankhmet. Each satellite has 2 railguns and 10 nuclear tipped spikes used as ammunition by the railguns. In addition to that, they have laser and IR targeting, radar and espionage systems. If they spot enemy missiles, troops, tanks or planes heading towards Ankhmet they have a small AI in them which makes them target the incoming upon command by Ankhmeti Northern Defence Initiative. Upon recieving the command, they immediately fire 1 round per minute at the targets. The spikes have a yield of 5 kilotons. The weapons can also be aimed to hit other satellites deemed to be a threat to the defence system. If one is attacked, at least five others retarget to fire upon the attacker. They do not require authorisation to defend the network. They also have one 'hellraiser' 125 megaton nuclear weapon each, to be used offensively rather than defensively, in the event that ANDI decides to invade another nation.
Ammunition will be restocked as it is needed by shuttles. Once a satellite has less than eight spikes a flight is scheduled.
This is a warning to enemies of the USAR: do not provoke us.

Here, here! I agree with that. Sounds impressive but rather a lot. Too much stuff, to much money.

OCC:I'm with Rose on this. Those sats are gona set you back several trillion if not hundred trillion. Besides most people would label them godmod anyways.

(OOC: Yeah. I mean railguns? My grid is gonna have way less then that. 800 satellites is a bit overkill even by overkill standards. And that's overkill.)

OCC: Don't forget the fact that the projectiles have 10 nuclear tipped spikes each and a massive 125k ton nuke. Hell I'm a FT nation and I don't have that insane defense systems

OOC: 800? Are you kidding me? Not only would that completely bankrupt you, but can you honestly imagine seeing 800 satellites in the night sky o_O

God-Modding has hit new peaks today ;)

(Railguns:they don't have to be huge.heck, a tube with an electromagnet. Simple. IR guidance, not massive. Most of the size would be ammo storage. you can make them out of cheap nasty materials. By the look of it it seems to be made to swarm incoming hostiles with cheap, smallish loads, and Ankhmet is FT, so he has a whole planet to play with. 800 to cover a planet? Oooooh, filling up the sky now...Don't go overboard. Perhaps being an asshat isn't a great idea?Ever heard of constructive criticism you guys? I would suggest scaling down the single-shot warhead though.)
