How about some information on what it is and what it does?

After messing around with a new weapon known as the A-60 M.E.R., Rithiatic Scientists have found it's true potential. This can digitally read from a home base or Deployable Military Headquarters(Under Research) and quickly fire at strategic locations automatically. The weapon comes in different sizes and is mainly to be used on vehicles. Depending on the size of the vehicle, We can send you a custom order.
We will calculate your order for you. Due to differences in currency you may have to pay more or less. We will let you know ;)

To order, let us know the size of the vehicle you are ordering and as i said, we will calculate the order for you. There are two types of A-60 M.E.R.s as seen below

Type 1: A long slender A-60 with less firepower but is easier to manufacture and comes in crates of 4 at a time

Type 2: A much wider, and longer A-60 with much more firepower but is harder to manufacture and very heavy to carry around. Comes individually.

A crate of Type 1 is equal to a Type 2

Axis, i have already explained it is a weapon which automatically fires at designated targets from a home base, usually attached to a vehicle, but can be customized to a handgun

OOC: Come again? Fires What? How far? How does it fire what it fires? How does it know where to fire...and don't say "digitally" because that is just stupid.
How many times can it fire before it needs to reload/recharge? How fast can it fire at one target? How quickly can it acquire and engage a second target? How is it against multiple targets? Is it chocolate or nacho flavored?

Dont address Axis Nova like he asked a stupid question...you're the one who hasnt posted what this thing is "...its weapon...yeah..and it shoots...like strategically...yeah."

Oh I do hope its Nacho flavoured...


Rithian: As others have mentioned you ahve provided no details fo what this is other than some kind of remotly operated weapon, that can be mounted on a vehicle or a hand gun for use against strategic targets. Forgive us if it all sounds a litle strange...

I interpreted his question wrong, i thought he was asking what it was. I guess what he really meant was more specifically. So, you need to pay attention to the fact that you can't tell how people MEANT it over the internet. So yes. More specifically, well I'll give you the Rithian News Report.

"The A-60 M.E.R. is a weapon produced by the Rithian War Agency. It comes in two forms(I leave this part out because i have already stated it above) but the reason it makes this weapon so special, is that it is programmed from a Military Headquarters or the soon to be Deployable Military Command Center(DMCC). The DMCC is the main reason this weapon was invented, because it is very easy for the weapon to lose it's connection, as we all know, the closer the target, the easier it is for a wireless connection to be reached. The A-60 is programmed from the Military Base or DMCC to fire at targets that are usually stuff like Walls, Buildings, and other Tanks. This weapon attaches to a PzWKf III-sized tank. However the weapon, when ordered can be customized to meet the need of the customer. The first type of A-60 can be fired around twenty-six times before it must be reloaded, which is done by support troops that have always been near the tank, if there are no support troops, someone can reload them from the roof. The second type of A-60 fires around fourty-nine rounds before it must be reloaded. One fault that the developers are working on is the relocate target feature. It may take a fast-working human at the Military Base around 30 seconds before he can assign a new target, but it takes the machine around 40 seconds to recognize the command. This is fixed with the Query feature that comes with the Type 2's programming suite. This is hoped to be added in to the Type 1 very soon. The Type 2 is Pre-Programmed to Destroy/Kill targets 1 at a time, so it concentrates on one. The Type 1 is Pre-Programmed to fire at multiple targets, the feature to assign multiple targets comes with the Type 1 Programming suite. For those who are wondering, it is neither Choco or Nacho flavored, it is steel flavored."


Well, that's the article. Now do you guys understand?

Oh by the way, the HandGun is only available as a Type 3 which is still under research :)

Well, that's the article. Now do you guys understand?
Not in the slightest.

We know now that it has more than one shot, it seems to only be able to shoot targets with a RFID tag on them, and it has a really crappy computer system, being able to shoot one target every seventy seconds. We still have no idea what it is. Is it a gun? A missile? A grenade launcher? Perhaps a mentally handicapped chinchilla slinging it's poo at nearby targets? I'm leaning towards the last one, as that really supports the low target acquisition rate.

OOC:

Listen.

This may be difficult to understand but you arent even wanking here...this isnt even a product yet.

So it lobs donuts at "walls and stuff" yes donuts...or rather doughnuts.

Or perhaps kittens.

One-legged Italian Prostitutes with an habit of drinking port and pissing themselves...

Let me spell this out for you.


What does it shoot? As in Shell, Missile, etc etc...
What size is the thing it shoots?
What causes the damage? As in kinetic energy or chemical?
What is the range of the weapon and of detection?
HOW does it fire whatever the hell it fires?
HOW does it track and target?

DETAILS

I mean could you do the courtesy of reading at least one damned description of a real life weapon to see what exactly one should put in a description...seriously we are all trying to give constructive criticism.
And no there is no reason you shouldn't have understood Axis Nova's question as any idiot can see you haven't given any real description of this thing.

Make a little effort for goodness sake.

In need of kittens, eh?

We can have a shipment of the cutest, cuddliest, most blood filled kittens you could ever want in your country within a week. However, apart from shipping costs you would need to give us 10,000 USD worth of apple pies. Cinnamon apple pies.

Can you produce a model that can use kittens and one legged Italian prostitutes interchangeably? This time of year, it's notoriously difficult to acquire a sufficient supply of kittens.

[OOC: For goodness sakes, guys, he's new. Don't be so harsh on him as you would be to an older NS player.]

OOC:Could you add an extra syring of blood to that? I likes me a mess

[OOC: For goodness sakes, guys, he's new. Don't be so harsh on him as you would be to an older NS player.]

OOC: Indeed, he does have the newbie >10 posts mark. Be gently, like a one legged italian prostitute is with a virgin swede.

[OOC: An automated kitten launcher would be pretty cool. I would definitely invest in those for my military, even if they lack the one legged prostitute capability. Imagine the tactical advantage of the confusion caused in enemy ranks when suddenly pelted by a swarm of angry kittens.]

OOC: I had enough to sense to read the quality of other designs before I started trying to do my own.

What does it shoot? As in Shell, Missile, etc etc... Answering that: Type 2 fires shells and Type 1 fires bullets

What size is the thing it shoots?Type 2 is 45mm Type 1 is 13mm

What causes the damage? As in kinetic energy or chemical? Umm, (Forgets how a bullet works) just acknowledge that Type 1 fires bullets and Type 2 fires shells

What is the range of the weapon and of detection? The weapon can fully rotate so there is 360 degrees of fire. Type 2 fires 43 feet, while Type 1 fires 37 feet.(sorry if that seems unrealistic, i can't think of anything right now, if you need me to I'll change it later)

HOW does it fire whatever the hell it fires? Type 1 fires with pressure, Type 2 fires with chemical ignition.

HOW does it track and target? The weapon's head(Gunpoint) has a tracking device that sort of works like a GPS over the top of the weapon, it knows to target because of the tag the target is given on the weapon's screen. The weapon then is designed to fire at the tagged Tank, Building, Wall or whatever. <this is the breakthrough on how it does it on it's own, the only human intervention required other then assigning targets at the military base is reloading>

OOC: You need a lot of work. But that is much better thank you.

45mm shell..... 43 feet away.... And it's suppose to work against tanks AND walls as well

In absolute seriousness, the kitten launcher was a better idea.

Well, as i said i couldn't think of anything at the time. In fact i said to tell me if it was unrealistic and what you would like me to change it too.

OOC: What are you trying to design? Seriously.
Forget about something that does it all, give me an idea of what you want and I will point you in the direction of a real life system you can look at and get a feel for things from.

OH! I got a idea, why don't i sell the GPS-Like thing to armies? I think that will work. I never liked this one too much. I just wanted to post something new. But, anyhow what do you think of my idea?

This is hardly a new technology, Jinos employs the same thing, (which is better) hell, we're already working on independantly operating AIs to be implimented in our Next-gen think tank for special ops.

Most millitary in NS have GPS equipment standard issue.

Good Point, eh, i'll think of something, maybe i could sell Add-Ons to weapons and tanks, so in that way i would be different(I like to be different)
