@TriVector 2000 parts is incredibly complex. to put it bluntly, Aerodrome maintainers would slit their wrists before even trying to work with that.
we struggle with 600 parts and beyond due to aging simulation software and hardware, and a 2000-part destroyer might take 5 times the maintainers stretched thin.
thanks for the offer, but we'll stick to pulling our hair out over the alliance-class.
@Livingg017 Phenomenal. we're happy to work with you on the alliance class.
Looking at it's weapon canisters, we believe arming it shouldn't be too much of an issue, however it's high complexity and part count means working on it may cause things to move slowly. we're up for the challenge though.
it'll also likely need a customized anti-air missile, looking at the dimensions and part requirements, which we're willing to do for you for sure. testing it from the ship might be a complication for us, however we have other test platforms to run it from and can surely make do with what we have. we'll do our best to make the part count as low as possible while keeping ANNA integration.
Assuming each missile canister is 16 parts (about as simple as we can get a weapon canister), *32 on the ship, that's an extra 512 parts on the ship, plus an extra 2 or 3 per launcher the rotators on the launchers on the ship. very tight requirements, but we'll see where we can optimize our design.
We're running another big partnership with another user at the moment, so this might be slow to complete.
Regarding the F-2B, Droo Aerodrome's Doctrine is calling for a light-midweight fighter with a smaller footprint of what already exists. it's pilots will be trained to take off from Forward Operating Bases, makeshift runways, and uncleared areas (Collectively, "Bouncepoints") to make targeting them harder and to spread our forces over the area. it's, in essence, a multirole aircraft with a leaning priority towards Air to Air.
We appreciate the aircraft donations greatly and will be sure to play around with them to see where they can be improved, simplified, and how they fit into DSC's defenses. However, we suggest you keep your airworthy retired aircraft, however. it'll be helpful for you to be able to rip spare parts from still-capable aircraft.
We're intrigued in this secretive aircraft. The Aerodrome has been looking to lower their logistics profile, and is working on a contract with others to make transport seem a bit more normal to civilians. this might be a step towards that.
Overall, we're happy with this partnership and will begin designing a missile for your needs and are confident we can move forward with a tight alliance.
@TriVector While this deal does seem tempting on the outside, The aerodrome's current mission, defending it's research and space exploration technology, does not need a strategic asset like a submarine. It needs force-projection through increased range (Absolute Aerospace's Alliance-class), and partnerships (arming and trading with Belaria/Usrelia). a tactical destroyer does seem like an interesting deal as well, however we'd like to see performance, capability, and part count before we close a deal with you as well.
We chose to trade systems with Absolute Aerospace because their armament is based on the same basic logic pioneered by @TritonAerospace for the war against Issil-Rinari. integration of their systems would go smoother as all that would be needed is an upgrade to ANNA standards. we're not looking to be the strongest in the region, just strong enough to defend ourselves, our allies, and our assets.
Allyship proposal from Droo Aerodrome
We, The People of the Equestrian Peninsula, believe a partnership with Usrelia is one of the best choices to move forward, in both defense of the aerodrome (and its surrounding urban zones), and in trade and international relations. Our parliament requests negotiations with Usrelian officials.
We receive 2 Alliance-class nuclear supercarriers, to use with our F-9C Dragonfly and F-8B Skipper fighter aircraft, and future E-70B Navalized Magpie. We would also like to expand our seaport with an additional service center for these ships, as well as future ships purchased or partnered with you.
You, Usrelia, recieve access to ANNA Datalink (as well as ANNA Block 2 upon it's release), F-2B TDR (Light-midweight Fighter) which are combat-ready, Rosemary-class GPS bombs (upon their release) and interconnected defenses with already-standing DSC weapons.
This trade is meant to be the start of multiple future trades, partnerships, and allyships. We are open to further negotiation.
@Livingg017 @TritonAerospace it's fine.
Ive recovered most of what I needed (although I'm still incredibly pissed about my subassemblies) and already found a way to write reopening into the lore. Expect an increase in production quality soon.
@Livingg017 [OOC]: Oh damn- uhh... if you ever get the chance, make sure to check. if not, we can sort out some other form of communication. up to you.
@Livingg017 [Penny]: this isnt too ambitious whatsoever.
Check your private channels [OOC: Discord]. You've been added to a communication line between DSC and Ali.
@Livingg017 [CEO]: Intriguing offer.
The Orange Coast and subsequent Usrelian Armed Forces would be an exceptional strategic partner to have. While extreme force isn't Droo Aerodrome's primary focus at the moment, having a partner further north would be nice to have, for both coverage in defense as well as expanded military capability and know-how.
Your plans as well are extremely ambitious. Air refueling support would be an amazing technology to have, and Aircraft with the ANNA system (or a similar system that can work with it) would enhance DSC's capabilities further.
We've always had a neutral relationship with Juno Village and the greater Belaria, both DSC and Ali. They've done a surprisingly good job at remaining neutral to us so far [OOC: as part of the AU, they've remained almost entirely neutral for the entire timeline], but have bought a few aircraft and systems for their own defense.
Hmm... we'll take you up on your offer and forward it to Security Chief Adde and Parliament. I'd like to see where it goes.
@Livingg017 [OOC] there are actually a few people behind the company in the storyline.
The person you see the most is Penelope Janelle Patterson. Shes the Co-founder, head of Quality and Inspections, and the long-standing best friend of the CEO. Her MBTI is ENFJ.
Then theres the CEO himself, an anonymous figure who keeps his life private. Hes got a lot of issues and trauma, but tries the best he can, with the support of his mom, Penny, and Kiara (Penny's Fiancée). His MBTI is ISTP.
There are a lot of extras from inside and outside the company scattered around lore pages, posts, and videos.
In reality, its just me modeling these weapons on my own, with help from @AlphaSpaceTechnologies and @TritonAerospace occasionally.
Im actually really glad you asked :)
@Livingg017 [Penny] hmm... interesting idea, however the tactical and strategic implications of an ICBM dont line up too well with DSC's plans or ideas.
Its an interesting thoughtstarter though. I'll have someone hit you up through a private channel to discuss this idea further.
@Livingg017 so youre telling me.
You want a nuclear air to air missile.
Immune to terrain, high maneuverability for its speed, with a mach 5.5 coast speed?
So, in essence, a ballistic nuclear air to air missile.
...I dunno man. Thats completely out of my skillset. Youre better off just building a Ballistic missile, because tracking targets at those ranges is extremely hard. Speaking from experience.
If im being honest, youre probably better off redefining whatever your doctrine is supposed to be. I have no clue how to go about any of that.
But yeah. Im out of the contest. Maybe triton is smart enough to do something for ya 😭
@Lacker [OOC] Yep. This isnt kid-friendly lore unfortunately.
[Penny] I know its a bit shocking, but I assure you, the company will do just fine. I just need to remind him to take some more time for himself more often.
@Lq11 fair enough lmao
