King Kevz Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 But then your repair crew wouldn't know how to repair those 2016 airplanes properly, unless if your seller sends in their own repair crew. No offence but a plane is a plane. they all follow the same basic systems in regards to dynamics and hydraulics. However, some parts would need specialised training though all you have to do there is send small groups of engineers away at a time to the nation who built the aircraft and have them trained in how to repair the aircraft.

Then everyone in the world has the most uber tech there is because it would only take one giant tech nation to say "I give everyone all the tech they need!" And thus your tech is useless, and quality roleplay would have to decide battles. .......... When do we start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do we start? You are correct that is exactly what could happen right now if anyone realised it. If the largest tech nations agreed to send out their technology to other nations in exchange for money they would get very rich, very quickly and other nations would become more advanced. Now im thinking of making my own design of Power Armour so I must go and look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Wilding Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I must ask, even though I'm not officially on the map, I can still RP, announce my nation, etc, right? Just wanted confirmation before I started announcing crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is warfare in 2009 and 2016 isn't fought the same way as it used to be. Air combat are complex networks, with different equipment pieces linking up with one another on different vehicles. Its a whole system not just one individual unit. F-22s don't fight alone with their onboard systems alone, they sync up with EWACs, ground systems, etc. While that was somewhat true in the 80s and earlier, they information systems weren't in place to properly utilize the BVR warfare that most modern fighter jets are designed for. Additionally your computer systems wouldn't be quite up to part with what is being fielded on these units. Its not really a matter of ability to repair an engine in my mind, its being able to handle the avionics and support stuff that would be difficult.

Yes I didn't think about that part which are correct about but that does mean that technically you can still field the aircraft just at a reduced efficency. Also Im guessing that you are ignoring my PM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk11 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 OOC: This is a private RP. Closed to KaiserMartens and myself.IC: The Empress walked on, her Crown Prince trailing behind her. They walked through the city, passing the many statues of Martens as they went. It was time for a sacred ritual to be performed once again. The revolving door of CNRP continues.

hawk11 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I wouldn't mind so much if they did new characters. I actually have four completely independent backup nations drawn up for when I inevitably get rolled, which personally I'm extremely proud of seeing all of the same rerolls in play.

Uberstein Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mael, if by "nuking your threads" you mean "Presenting facts against your arguments", then yes, I'm nuking your threads. Nuking them with the power of science. Mariehamm Arms will provide weapons to every side, for cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Vortex Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) You still haven't proven to me your're an expert to be beholden to Uberstein, you really should just allow the mods to determine such matters and if they are really a threat to the community here. I made my case to HK47 because I didn't want to deal with arguing with the world and he was the one who knew the intent of the letter of the law he had established. I literally asked him to define to me the boundaries of my creativity and how I might operate within them.. he told me, and I acknowledged his wishes. Perhaps people should stop trying to moderate for the moderators? I mean, I can understand discontent or being in disagreement with something. But there are times it is readily inherent by your discussion you haven't even read my threads to know what you are arguing against before it becomes one.

But there are times it is readily inherent by your discussion you haven't even read my threads to know what you are arguing against before it becomes one. I made one mistake where I missed a line about your character being covered in robes, big deal, we're all human, people make mistakes. And I don't mind creativity, but it matters what the limits are, and in CNRP it has been established that science is important, it's why my doomsday machine couldn't really kill the world, it's why mechs aren't used, and it's why I won't recognize your lizardman leader no matter what the mods say. I like to pride myself on the fact that I attempt to use science and I correct myself when I'm wrong. I attempt to use formal debate tactics (like if you present an argument you have to back it up, not just tell the other side to find the info themselves because you're lazy/too good to find evidence for your own arguments.). None of the sources you have shown say that what you have done is possible within the near future. I will respect that HK made a decision, and my reaction is the non-recognition of your RP IC, though I will still attempt to stand up and bring in science when I can. You don't need a PHD, for in your own words, "Use Google". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
