Wisp Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sure. We have a bit of a waiting list right now, but your ship would be finished within 5 years. Grim, yours will be done in around 5 years too. And then if mrmegakirby wants one too, his will be finished a few years after that. All money gained from this will go directly to the space elevator, or research of new ships. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_ Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Now that our railguns are close to being viable for mass production, we have begun working on a new weapon, mechs. Armed with a large, thick, frontal shield with gaps for firing our soon-to-be-made railguns, and a large generator in the back, these mechs are more like tanks in appearance, especially because they are moved by tank treads. Also include anti-infantry flamethrowers (crew operated) on the sides, heavy machine guns in the front, and a heavily fortified sniping turret on the top. The whole thing is about 100 yards in length and 20 yards in width. They each cost about 10 million dollars to create. A~We already have super tanks they are called HAW's B~Are you kidding me 10 million dollars is not going to get you anywhere close to that.

Guest Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hmm. I'll be selling raw materials (minerals of all sorts, fish and wood) to any country who needs it. Theres a war going on...I might as well try and profit. And doom. Can I pay off the 300 billion over 5 years, paying you 60 bill a year? If so, then I'll take one.

Wisp Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That should cost atleast 75 million. That's pretty complicated, and really really big. 10 million is really low. And you can mega. That's fine. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Aetherian forces in Canada are constantly launching assualts on the Britannian lines. The drone legions think and move as one, wrecking all in their path, you can't hold them back forever. Can we have a map of this battle strategy? There we go, I'm basically just pushing a wall of drones against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasignhagj Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Project colon is complete. What it is is a massive tunnel between Mainland TROK and Mongolia. It can fit a twinned 3 lane highway, and a bullet train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisp Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Rocco. Your building something with advanced technology. Advanced technology is expensive. In 20 years, it might be less to build with new techniques, but building a 300 foot long and 60 foot wide tank is gonna be expensive, especially with the massive amount of energy needed for railguns. Building new technology is always going to be expensive, but building older tech with new techniques will cost less. There's a balance And if anything, base costs for resources will have gone up. Oil will be fairly rare now, and believe it or not, we are depleting the earth slowly of iron. Hegemony-Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think 100 million dollars will pay for +/- 20 tons of iron, 10 rail guns, a solar generator, tank treads, machine guns, and flamethrowers? Originally you said 10 million, so I was basing it off that. A solar generator would also not be enough to power a railgun, not even close. Those things take up a ridiculous amount of power. No matter how efficient the generator is. Solar could probably back up or recharge a high capacity battery, but not power it outright. 100 million makes more sense though.

Wisp Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 So how exactly is the energy moved from Mars and sri lanka to the tank? And I know wireless energy transfer is possible, but in real life that's about .5% efficient. Even if that was boosted to 5%, that would still be impossible to power.

Wisp Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Ah, that makes sense. The way the mass drivers (Glorified Railguns) on my Desta Battleship works is it is directly powered by an onboard nuclear reactor. So plenty of energy there.

Wisp Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm surprisingly the only country to have invested in nuclear technology, so mine are much ahead of the world's. I don't know if a nuclear reactor would really work in a tank, but nuclear charged batteries would be much faster to produce. And the Desta is in space, so getting rid of waste is much easier, and it harvests most of the materials needed for the reactor from Jupiter. EDIT: Heh, 150.
