 Posted: 11-Jun-2007 22:05 Post subject: The WoBies are even more scary to me now |
  |
|
I was reading through alot of wiki stuff today, starting with the b-17 and ended up here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-26_Falcon
Good golly miss molly! Do you really need a 250 ton effect air-to-air missile? What would stop the WoBies from having this little toy? A single squadron of 12 fighters could devastate enemy groups, EVEN DROPSHIPS AND WARSHIPS!
What if they used this toy:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Atomic_Demolition_Munition
With insertion craft and smugglers, WoBie agents could just reak havoc on key planets. The bloody thing is only a 50lbs core with a 10 to 1kilo ton effect. What about in kamakaze like attacks?
Its scary what the US has managed to do, and the implications such things could have on BT.

Honestly, what scares me more than anything is their fervor and willingness to "re-educate". Everything bad about Comstar indeed.
Also, if people haven't been to BattleCorps lately, one of the freebies in the shop is Tech Readout 3072, which displays some nifty new Word of Blake Omnis.
I feel conflicted about them, frankly. On the one hand, I hate fighting an enemy with flashier equipment than mine. On the other, it's a pretty strong rule that the army with the snappier dress uniform will lose, yeah?

Yeah...but I can't be flashy AND tactically sound? Those 'Mechs are pretty, but honestly, most are rather slow. I would design them one with a 5/8 curve, but I'll need to do some research and find some angel or spirit or whatever to name it for.

...sorry, but if we're going to quote movies on this discussion, I think this one works better. 8)

It's in the BattleCorps store under the freebie section. Let me see if I can dredge up my link. Apologies, because this is going to be ugly as heck...
*checks* Er...nevermind. The site is down for upgrades until the 19th.
Anyone know the legalities on me transferring this to others? Strictly speaking, as a free PDF, I don't think there would be a problem...
That would enable us to bypass the problematic "Down until the 19th" problem.

Great minds...post at the same time?
Some quotes and sayings just don't work as well when mangled.
