WMDs/Anti-WMDs

During a brainstorming session on how to counter nuclear weapons, Velkyan scientists came up with a anti-ICBM system that does not require ABMs, but it needs funding and the Velkyan defense budget is occupied with it's conventional forces. Here's how the system works:

Missile Launch:

The ICBM is launched from an enemy submarine, silo, or SD.

Detection:

A recon sattelite detects the launch, calculates the trajecotry to the target (in this case, a Velkyan Carrier Battle Group), and broadcasts it to a ground station.


Ground Alert:

A alert is sent through to a ground station (also a sea-borne station can be used), which automatcially fowards it to a nearby Katana patrol.

XAMA-1 Katana Specs.

Full name: EXperimental Anti Missile Aircraft Number 1
Arament: 2 AMBM missiles, laser targeting system
Size: 20 ft long, 32 ft wingspan
Max Speed: 4,000 mph
Engine: 2 State Aviation Company Dragons Breath Engines for normal flight, 1 SAC Fireburner for Mach 5 speed

Flight Trajecotry Determined:

The Katanas fly towards the ICBM reentry point, and with the aid of the recon sat. they achieve a lock on the ICBM.



Interception:

Once the ICBM is in range, a ASAT missile is relased from approx. 100 miles away at the missile. Another missile is fired to ensure a hit.

Destruction:

The 2 ASATs impact with the missile, detonationg it's payload 23 miles above the target and 100 miles away from the Katana flight.

The whole system costs 150 billion and includes:

50 ground stations

10 Laser Targeting Sattelites

50 Katana AMAs

500 Air-Launched Anti-ballistic Missiles

The systems has a 75% chance of taking down a ICBM before it can release MIRVs. If you already have a ABM system, then this will compliment it very well.

Total Money Made off Storefront:

$1,408,040,000,000

Total Blown on Weapons:

$150,000,000,000

It's all saved in swedish bank accounts. :p

So that's why you wanted all those F-5's, eh? ;)

Please put us down for 2 LMF's, we would like to evaluate them. 30 million has been wired.
Theao
02-08-2005, 06:54
ooc: looks good, though why is the Nosburg Class Frigate price done in a different way than the others?
The Velkyan Union
02-08-2005, 07:02
Hell yeah thats why we wanted all those F-5s. Actually, the F-5s that I bought are modified to LMF standards, these are production models.

2 is a small amount. If you try to reverse engineer my shit, you will be shooting at both Bolkians and Velkyans. :p

Just kidding. Order complete, but it's free, since you are a close velkyan ally and the order is minsucle anyhow.

Production rights are 1 billion. If you want to, you can ask for permission to sell it at your storefront, for a 20% royalties price.

I will correct this pricing error. Would you like to but something?
Theao
02-08-2005, 07:06
ooc: no, not because of quality but because we don't buy from storefronts.
The Velkyan Union
02-08-2005, 07:10
Well, why not?
Theao
02-08-2005, 07:16
Strategic reasons, if you become dependent on foreign servicies for vital supplies and services, you risk being brought under thier subtle control, as they would hold a powerful bargaining chip over your head.
The Velkyan Union
02-08-2005, 07:31
Velkya is not like that, we really could'nt see how we could control large nation like yours. But that aside, let us send you 1 LMF demonsrator, free of charge, but in the end, it is your choice whether to buy foreign weapons. We admire your idependence.
Gelfland
02-08-2005, 07:34
so, which F-5 is your fighter based on?
Northrop, Lockheed, Vought, Shenyang?
some NS plane unrelated to any of them?
The Velkyan Union
02-08-2005, 08:01
The Freedom Fighter. Maybe Lookheed. It's based off the F-5e variant.

Interested in purchasing a few?
Theao
02-08-2005, 08:05
We thank you for the gift, but must inform you it will be torn apart to find out how it works, and any useful components will be reverse-engineered. Should you wish to avoid this we shall return the craft.
The Velkyan Union
02-08-2005, 08:14
Stripped down demonstrater has minimal avionics and a normal engine. Have fun reverse engineering a F-5E with forward swept wings.

We would like in back then.

God Bless You Man!!! God Bless You!!!

Order Confirmed!!! Ahahahahah!

Outside of my crazed chanting, Donnet Class are too short even for a LMF, as they are built for helos and VTOL craft. We shall be posting the Eagle Class Carrier Unit for purchase soon.
Serapindal
03-08-2005, 05:38
Well, could you assume that the Eagle-Class Carrier holds 72 planes, and I bought it in advance? Oh yeah, you've gotta be out of stock now!
The Velkyan Union
03-08-2005, 06:29
This order will take several NS years.

The Eagle is more money, but we'll let it slide. (ALLY). The Eagle is MUCH longer, and can carry 100 aircraft.
The Velkyan Union

Do you have any low-budget carriers that can support at least 15-30 LMF's?
The Velkyan Union
03-08-2005, 20:12
Both orders confirmed.

40 million is the cost, Piglantia.
Piglatnia

03-08-2005, 20:20
Do you have any low-budget carriers that can support at least 15-30 LMF's?

No, although you did make a sizable purchase, we shall give you a discount on our Eagle carrier.

How does 3 for 4 billion sound?

Also, would you consider joining our region, we are about to undertake a regional defense initiave, (RDI), to better defend the region against aggressors of all sizes, and joint projects are to be it's mainstay.
SkyCapt
03-08-2005, 20:56
OK, I'll take you up on your Eagle offer, and yes, I'm interested in joining your region. But would I be able to acquire 2 LMF-1A's ($30,000,000) for testing and modifying purposes?
edit: OK, I'll be joining your region as soon as you tell me which one it is. ;)

OOC: Any normal or ETC cannon becomes less useful than a similar diameter missile after 30". The only ship that has ever carried a larger gun was the "Compensator-class Death-Boat" a proof of concept boat built for The Lone Alliance, utilizing the 800mm GustavX cannon. It was utterly useless. The Lone Alliance could have purchased many more AEGIS cruisers and had the same or even more effective capability in anti-missile action. Oh well. Just saying, 40" guns, are INSANE!
SkyCapt
04-08-2005, 16:02
So, when should the Eagle Carriers arrive? Wait, has the order even been confirmed?
SkyCapt
04-08-2005, 19:03
I'd like to place an order for 1 Donnet Class Heli Carrier ($1,000,000,000)
$1 billion will be wired when order is confirmed. Oh, and we'd like permission to modify the Carrier for testing with our project.

This is concerning the VSTOL Project, in case you didn't get my TG for some bizarre reason, and since you might not go to the forums:
Testing is finished, all is well, although there are a couple minor problems, the biggest being that the thrusters take 5 seconds to extend/retract, so the pilot must extend at least 5-10 seconds before landing. The DCHC is modified to accomodate the modified aircraft, and we were thinking about production of modified Donnets as carriers for the VSTOL LMF's. With your permission, of course.
The Velkyan Union
09-08-2005, 01:09
I'll add it to the storefront soon.
SkyCapt
09-08-2005, 02:03
As I've posted in the forums, if you post the LMF's SkyCapt manufactures, please post them as the LMF MkII, to prevent confusion. As for the VSTOL, do whatever. Also, will you be posting the Modified Donnets? Testing with those coupled with LMF-1X's is finished, and it's turned out well.
