NationStates Jolt Archive

Alright I've been thinking about this idea for a while. (After watching Starship Troopers).

Basicaly we would have a world that would be populated by different nations (Us), who have just started to build Space stations, ect. (Not yet true FT but close) A bug asteroid (Mabey more), crash into our planet spewing the bug menace forth. Our respective nation of course would put aside our differences (Except for one or more if you want to stand alone?) and form a collective Coalition to rid our planet of this Horrid Menace. Expect Millions to be massacured and billions to Die. This is Genocide This is the Beggining of a Horrid War.
We have known about the Arachind Beings for quite some time but niether Governemnt has told the populace. So Panic/Rioting will be widespread. Try and think how the world would react if it actually happned and post it. You can either be part of the Coalition or your country can try and stand alone. Now there wil be Millions of Bugs...so if you stand alone you have less of a chance or surviving.

Information on the Bug Menace. "Know your enemy."

Bump #1

You mean this will be a PMT tech RP?

If so, I'll be a bug player.

So, it would be based on the movie Starship Troopers, and not the novels?

Hm. Alright. The bugs are just one big as overwhelming force. If you can do it right you can have 'em.

Can I make my own bug breeds later in the RP?

Yeah I always felt like there coulda been different breeds of them. Just model them after Real Life Bugs.

im coaltion with you yuka

I'm definitely in, Cromry would mostly be involved with Colonization and fleet activity, with some R&D and special missions.

Now remember Sep long posts....detailed too. It's not a race to see how fast you can post.

Cromyr stand alone nation or Coalition. And there is no Special Missions. The Front Line is everywhere. Colinization is non existent.(Yet) Terra Forming hasnt been perfected.

Prepare to be annihilated by the ultimate bug... (http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/1688/tbug7dw.png)

Nice....I Don;t think any trooper will be able to take that.

is this book or movie Starship Troopers?

Both. Not many read the book. (At least I don't think so.)
You in?

I might join if it's book. It can't be both, book and movie MI and Bugs are vastly different.

Nice....I Don;t think any trooper will be able to take that.

Exactly...

Meh...but its the same premise.

maybe aces roughneck might be able to

Mabey...But so many will die. Our planet when this is over is gonna be fucking barren.

soo round what year would you place the tech level at, as i have seen people place PMT at 2010 to 2100 so i just want to know about where this will be so i can Rp my tech in the right area

Around 2200 its Pre-FLT. Were so close to getting FLT. Weapons havent changed though. Still balisic based. We've all put so mush R&D into Ships we left Ground weapons alone.

ill suply the armour and fleets aces roughnecks are sas in this thread
ooc yuka posti n our other thread

You won't be "suppling" anything. You will need all the Armour you can get. You will only have like one fleet, and they won;t be any help on the ground.

OOC: ok, i'll join. i'm assuming the water navy and tanks are about the same as they are now? thier should be some type of water bugs to :)

Nebarri_Prime: Coalition?

Velkya: Yes Make a damn water bug!

Don't worry, I have that covered as well. (http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/3916/seamonster6mc.png)

Better fire up the ol' fishin boat.

sure i'll join the Coalition forces

Alright...Bumped...

Arg two bumps in a row.....oh well.

as i remember, not many people are on at this time of the day. night...whatever it is where you are

Yeah true, well there are more places in the world...

yuka postin de other thread

Bumped

I'll be coalition, unless this has to be Troopers canon tech...

I'd like to join, although I know very little about the series.

The Tech is anywhere between Starship Troopers - Halo You can have experimental Lasers. But they would be few and overheat too fast.

The Tech is anywhere between Starship Troopers - Halo You can have experimental Lasers. But they would be few and overheat too fast.

I was actually going to be a bit more on the "Powered Armor" side of things, not like Master Chief SPARTAN armor, but like very light Mecha, or very heavy infantry... No lasers or anything like that, just alot of generally vehicle mounted weapons...

If anyone has read John Ringo's "Into the Looking Glass", it's like a beefed up Wyvern MkII.

Powered Armour is fine. That will actually counter the Tanker bugs. Mech are fine ever seen Blue Gender?

Ugh, BG was an interesting series, but that's about all I can say for it...

I would say the same thing..but Mechs around that "area" would be perfectly fine.

Hmmm...an interesting project which I might want to get involved in. However, these questions first:

1. Will this be based on the book or the film? I would recommend the film, as the book is an extremely different ideal altogether.

2. Could we use canon technology - Morita assault rifles, Powered Suits, mini-nukes, or would it be our own generic technology?

I would say the same thing..but Mechs around that "area" would be perfectly fine.

Ok, these are actually probably less advanced than that... They generally mount things like Bushmasters, or 30mm Vulcans, they're my PMT version of heavy infantry and mechanized all in one...

I think they can handle anything that the Bugs could possibly throw at them...

Skinny87: 1. The movie although if I can find the book (which is somewhere in my house) I might implement it...very unlikely.
2. Yes (you can also implement your ideas too, but they need to fall within the same "area" of tech.) With the Mini-nukes I always thought that it acted more like a missile. In the movie when it exploded it didn't seem "nukish". With power suits...use them for Special forces unless you want to give out defective and shitty ones to your generic trooper.


Mini Miehm: Thats fine. (You could put 40mm Bofors on 'em too.)

Excellent, excellent. In that case I'll use the ST film canon technology along with powered suits for some squad commanders and SF later on in the period, not straight away. The nukes will be sparsely used at the beginning, and will act like missles luanched by squads.

I'd suggest not using the book - it will only confuse things, as the bugs are completely different in there.

This should be interesting - Just did an analysis of Verhoevens directing of the film, and I think I'll use the same bombastic, melodramatic propaganda style in my nation.

Hell yeah. The nukes will defenatly be used though. Billions of bugs will Invade....Many "Civilians" will die many....

Actually, they can equip anything I might happen to have in my armory, but those two are the most common weapons, or a 50 cal gatling.

Bumped for two more people.

And a bumpitty bump bump.

Counting down two more.....

Oh and I'll join the coalition.

Alright

Bump for joinage.

hey, mind if i use weapons from a game called Perfact Dark?

If it falls into the same Tech level. Then I don't mind. Every country will have different Arms.

hey, mind if i use weapons from a game called Perfact Dark?

Heh, if they don't know PD, they deserve to be shot, just try to avoid the various Maulers, Phoenix, Farshight, Callisto, Slayer...

i know, i would love to get my hands on a few Farshights or Slayers for this though :p

Heh, Reapage... Question, K7, or AR34? Personally, AR34, but I want a little input from outside.... Or, hell, even Dragon or Super Dragon...

SMG, RCP, right? Everybody loves the 120, though the Cyclone also rocks...

And last, pistols, Magnum, or scoped Falcon?

hate the K7(to much RPM for the smaller clip for my likeing), like the AR34 but i like the Super Dragon the best

RCP is cool, have the thing for the little black gun(forget what it is i havn't played for some time)

as for Pistols i like the DD44 i think its called? though i like the Magnum more then the Falcon

how about Grenades or N-bombs...

Grenades, easily.

You like the CMP? That thing was crap, high rate of fire, small clip for its speed, and low damage... The again, to each his own...

The DD44 was a gun from Goldeneye, though it could be gotten via cheats in PD.

Dun dunna dun dun Bump for me.

i'm sorry, like i said i havn't played it for some time, i ment the MegSec4

i'm sorry, like i said i havn't played it for some time, i ment the MegSec4

Magsec was powerful. My only complaint was accuracy on 3-round burst...

I just decided that I'm going to start issuing my PMT infantry AR34s and SuperDragons... Maybe even a few K7s, what with the increased damage they do...

Would it be possible to join the coalition against the bug scum?

Bumped FOR ONE MORE Horahh.

meh i use my own asualt riffle

meh i use my own asualt riffle

Thank you for sharing, no one asked.

my tiffles based on the ak74u buy use m16 ammoa

Thank you for sharing, no one asked.

Kinda funny, considering no one asked you either.

Anyhow, Sephrioth, a real rifle uses the 5.56mm NATO round (aka the M-16 round) called the AK-101, it's based off the AK series of weapons. Here's a pic:

To add to this myself, my troops carry a modified version of the claw, which is armor piercing and has unlimited ammo :D.

We were having a discusssion on the effectiveness of PD weapons. It was perfectly relevent...

BTW The Claw??? I don't like the sound of that infinte godmod you have there...

So what your troops carry a Drum..backpack full of 5.56MM Ammo?...Consider this 100 (1000) rounds of 5.56mm Bullets would way about 12-15 KG. So each man is weighted down with unnseccary weight? And if you go for Unlimited Ammo then how are you producing your Ammo? On site?

OK I just want to clear everything up incase of confusion.


THE BUGS WILL BE INVADING US WE AREN'T LANDING ON "THE BIG K" (At least not yet).

WE WILL BE MASSACURED...UNTILL OUR LEADERS GET THERE SHIT TOGETHER AND FIGHT 'EM OFF.

BILLIONS WILL DIE.

SPACE IS LIMITED UNTILL WE CAPTURE A FEW "PLASMA BUGS" AND HARNESS THE PLASMA ENERGY.(For The cores of our new ships..so we can have FLT.)

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

Do you know what a claw is?

I'm playing as the bugs, silly.

Anyhow, the main reason the MI loses so many men to the bugs is because of the fact that they have the tactical prowess of an old shoe. Watch the damn movie, they engage bugs at close range, were the bug's "weapons" are most effective, more often than not forgo an airstrike or "nuke" attack in favor of a idiotic close combat on enemy positions, and their fleets simply don't return fire when attacked by plasma bugs.

Billions won't die because of this, because even with aerial bugs, humans have the advantage of air and space forces, and the decently trained human soldier armed with an automatic firearm has a MUCH better kill ratio than a bug with claws. Common sense will tell you that.

No billions will die. What happens when you have unarmed citizens at a front line? also how do the bugs get everywhere? (Meteors man)

ok, this is what i'm planing for my military

Side Arm: Magsec4
SMG1: "Laptop" Gun
SMG2: RCP-120
Rifle1: Super Dragon
Rifle2: Dragon
Explosives1: Devestator
Explosives2: N-bombs
Close combat: combat knifes

aircraft: i have only my fighter picked out, its mostly like an X-302 from Stargate but without the Space capabilitys (unless i can have that that is)

oh, should i also have info on them? i suppose i should

That seems fine. The Space Capabilities can be there. We all have Space stations and Ships but none can go faster then sub-light.

ok well here is a little info on my weapons, hope they all get approved


Magsec4- a large, powerful, fast firing pistol the Magsec4 carries 9 rounds and can fire a single shot or a three round burst. It has exceptional range and aside from light lack of accuracy is one of the best pistols out there

"Laptop" Gun- what better way to be able to sneak a weapon into a room then to make it look like a labtop, literally. The laptop gun is very complex able to form three shapes. The first is that of a fake labtop computer. It can then fold into a light SMG with a fifty round clip or into a sentry gun that can cling to most surfaces, it will shoot anything that moves and it does not recognize as a friend this mode is somewhat inaccurate but holds up to 200 rounds of ammunition

RCP-120- a light wait, fast firing gun the RCP-120 carries 120 rounds of ammunition, but it also carries a prototype-cloaking device. However this device is disrupted when the gun is fired. And the user becomes visible.

Super Dragon- a basic assault rifle in most ways. It carries a 30 round clip and 6 Grenades that can be launched as fast as you can pull the trigger

Dragon- the only thing that changes the Dragon from the Super Dragon is the fact that the Grenade launcher is striped off and is replaced by a Proximity mine that can be activated whenever the user wishes. It is then laid on the ground(or thrown) for the next unsuspecting thing to come across it to be killed in a violent explosion.

Devastator- a Grenade launcher with a 9 round clip it fires at a somewhat slower rate then the Super Dragon but its Grenades are far more powerful as well the Grenades can be set to cling to a wall for a few seconds before dropping to the floor and detonating.


N-bombs- mach like a hand grenade in all but end effect. Once an N-bomb goes off a large black dome becomes visible. Inside this dome is some form of energy that creates pain, blurred vision and just plain disorientation.


As for the fighter it has Space flight capability and most other aspects of a futuristic fighter aside from energy shields, lasers, and FTL speed. And is armed with 2 heavy Vulcan cannon like weapons and about 4 advanced missiles that can be used for air-to-air or air-to-ground attacks. As well they carry advanced warheads

combat shotgun the rage sweeper 10 shell shot gun a 24 gauge
SMG: RCP-120
Rifle1: morita
Rifle2:dead eye sniper
Explosives1: mini nukes
Explosives2: m302 grenade launcher
Close combat: combat axe

ground vechiles
the warthog recon jeep equpied with a rage sprayer gattling gun and a morita rocket launcher

Perfect Dark of The Rare d'Ware von Nintendo64

What a marvellous game! :fluffle:

Anyways, is this RP still open for recruits? I'd like to come up with a SPABDI (Special Purpose Anti Bug Division) of about 10,000 (or so) men, that is funded straight by the Coalition and has men from all of the nations included.

A highly mobile unit that is used where the help is most needed. This would allow me to consentrate better and perhaps even do some character playing that could otherwise perhaps stay limited due the large scale warfare.

Whaddya say?

Do you know what a claw is?

But we aren't MI... The MI may be stupid, and the leaders may not want to use the heavier firepower, but, as I have mentioned, Wyvern Mechanized Inmfantry mount .50 cal Gatlings, as their LIGHTEST weapon... Heavy Weapons consist of a 130mm cannon(It's south African, or something like that...), 30mm Gatlings, like they mount on A-10 Warhogs, 25mm Bushmasters, and various other belt-fed weapons... Sure, I'll lose a few dozen cities, and regular infantry and armor will be easily overrun, but Wyverns should hold against any assault not backed by obscenely heavy Plasma Bug suppport...

Alright we have reached the 10 player mark so expect the Rp Thread to pop up. Sometime later today. The thread will be called "The Bugs".

ooc: im a big fan of starship troopers ive seen both movies and read the book and have the game but my computers is to old to play it :( anyhoo so is this thread open still?

If the IC thread is up, could you post a link? And if it isn't up, couyld you post a link when it is?

So sorry it's taken this long.

Checked that link to the game and what types of bugs are in it. and its missing some of the bugs from the game which i have played and beat. Most deadly of all the Royal Bugs. They are Huge bugs that look much like the Warrior yet bigger tho not as big as a tanker. They are more deadly. Their weakness is only their eye. They act as genrals for the Bugs or Guard the Brain Bug. Thought i might give you guys that infor.

The link leaves them out on purpose (suspense or just lazyness on there part?) I just didn't want to fill it all out. I'm shure Velkya has some good "Incarnations" of the Bugs.

C'mon you apes, you wanna live forever?

Oh sorry about that didnt know if yall had played it. Figured many hadnt do to the Game is a beast to play.

Yeah it is. The Targeting Reticle is way too small.

I know this off topic but what kind of system you running?

I have a AMD Dual Core 64bit
1 gig of ram
7800 GT

so i can play it on high settings very good game and very addicting. Too bad you cant be the bugs in a multiplayer game.

Pentium 4 3.4Ghz
256MB PCI-Express x16 ATI RADEON™ X550 Pro
1 Gig RAM

It's starting to get slow though.. I need to upgrade the Video and Sound Card...mabey with the money from Christmas. And the Processor. I'm gonna buy a Dual-Core Pentium.

I lost my Starship Trooper Disc along with Axis And Allies. Sad day when I couldn't find them.

Don't worry about the off-topic thing. This thread is done since the IC Thread is up.

Well ATI is about to let their monster cards out. I would suggest getting a SLI board and getting two Nivida 6800 GT's and run SLI. As for the core i might suggest AMD over Intel.

Mhm. I can't wait untill the new ATI cards. I'm more comfortable with Intel. But I might switch over to AMD though.

Also you might want to wait on Dual Cores i have had a bit of trouble with mine do to lack of support. When the new windows comes out thing will get better.

Hm. Good advice. Any Idea on when The Next Windows will come out?

Between Summer and this time next year. However you can get a hold of it a few months befor do to leaks.

O_o :( all i want for Xmas is a computer that has 1/4th that in RAM...

My ram only cost me 80 bucks. By Jan i will have another video card and 4 gigs of ram. I prob have one of the most powerful computers out right now. The trick is to buy the parts and not dells and alienwears. They are less powerful and cost more. Try newegg.com for good deals on ram.
