Okay, I'd love to know more about the Trinary Builder. Just how do I use it, exactly?

Jellico · « **Reply #541 on:** 20 October 2015, 21:18:47 »

Go to the first tab. Select an empty cell. Refresh. Del in Excel or Backspace in Open Office will do it.

And it will roll a Trinary for you based on the FM3145 RATs with a +1 weight bonus. Frontline, second line, tanks, BA and Aerospace.

I find the Arcas very Smechsy. One of my favorite illustrations of it is it on i think a sand dune with a cape/hood.

WarGod · « **Reply #543 on:** 22 October 2015, 18:03:16 »

the arcas looks ok, the grizzly, new kodiak, Vulture 4 ect.

Never cared for the Kuma, Ursus.

Foxx Ital · « **Reply #544 on:** 22 October 2015, 23:43:37 »

I like the Ursus, keeps the Skull theme. The Kuma? it's as ugly as it is a bad mech.

marauder648 · « **Reply #545 on:** 23 October 2015, 02:52:42 »

The Kuma's alright its just very...plain and 'humanoid mech is humanoid'. The Arcas is an amazingly sexy machine, the art of it on the snow/sand with its cape, very nice, the damn things even got ice cleets on its feet! I'm not really a fan of the Ursisisisisisisisiiissis looks, the original looks like it fled a manga, the II looks made of play-doh. Sure I can understand some stylizing but those two take it a tad too far.

I'm not disappointed with it, though.

Wolves scored too. Arguably the Horses as well.

In all three cases its the implications rather than the kit.

MidfieldMarauder · « **Reply #550 on:** 23 October 2015, 17:32:18 »

Before this XTRO, I thought there was no way that the Ghost Bears could be interested in making a play for Terra, much less that they'd have the ability to get into position for it.

Now, I'm not so sure.

Seems several clans reinvented their scientist caste, now with IS proportions.

I just want to see it ram Malvina's warship like a freight train through a pickup truck. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK.

well now we know what was being whispered about in our shipyards. 20!!!!!!! DOCKING COLLARS!! *runs around screaming like someone said the secret word of the day* the fact the Ravens might be getting in on the act is pretty awesome too.

I think i've found the Leviathan III's theme song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLl5YjiIpJM

Lyrics.

Quote

And so the carnage has begun
no hiding place for anyone
no quarter given or none taken in the bloodiest of all battles

the war to end all wars is here
the air is filled with heavy fear
Humanity is disappearing suffering as millions see slaughter

If there's no ending to this fight
eternal darkness is our plight
the darkest hour is upon us dying on the edge of destruction
multitudes will fall in the end its all universal
tragedy befalling the end of mankind

Gods cannot help us then no one can save us if
no one can save is then we
will be gone for all time
the - end - is - here - the - end - is - here - the - end - is - NOW

Re the Bears actions in 3150 onwards, I still think that basically they will not do much save defend themselves against raids and the like, but if they are pushed too hard the Bears will do their typical HUGE over-reaction and push back very very hard, instead of just punching those poking them to go 'Stop' they will not stop punching and kicking until who ever poked them one time too many is in dire need of a hospital.

Indeed, we don't know her name or if she's completed yet but the Leviathan III is very much a Dominion vessel.

You know..that makes sense, the republic likes to do false flags. What if they blew the ship up or badly damaged it under construction and then pinned the blame on someone else. The Bears would go RAWR.

As long as they pin the blame on the Combine and not Clan Jade Falcon.

Something tells me that's what they'd do. Pin it on the combine, engage troll face, step back and watch. The DCMS would have to halt any offensive into Davion space due to Clan forces spilling over their borders and you can bet that the Raven's would join in the kicking as well.

MidfieldMarauder · « **Reply #563 on:** 24 October 2015, 10:10:12 »

I just always like the idea of the Ghost Bears and Snow Ravens teaming up. If the conjecture is correct, and the Quatre Belle construction is connected to the Leviathan III somehow, then I would hazard a guess that the Ghost Bears have ordered a big bunch of Snow Raven aerospace fighters for use with their new Battlestar.

Jellico · « **Reply #564 on:** 24 October 2015, 10:29:42 »

In broard terms the Ravens build Baskirs, Wusun, and Sabutai.
We build Sulla, Ostrogoth, and Jengiz.

The Ravens have 15 aero regiments and 17 Clusters.
We have 50 Clusters requiring air support. Our navy requirements are probably bigger too. Seriously not everything is WarShips.

And the fluff says planning started decades ago so the ASF probably already exist. The Ravens are most likely technical support. They probably can't afford to play with new WarShips or Direct Interface given their boots on the ground problems in FM3145.

That's one of the things I think about often. We have so many JumpShips running around at this point, carrying Aesirs, Vanirs, and a whole mess of other stuff that we've been building this whole time. CGB might have the best equipped Navy of anybody.

Also, they just updated the XTRO to have the Leviathan III's Record Sheet!

MidfieldMarauder · « **Reply #566 on:** 24 October 2015, 10:45:06 »

And now that I take a closer look at the Record Sheet, I think they're making a joke.

Jellico · « **Reply #567 on:** 24 October 2015, 10:50:24 »

Navies are one of those things that grow at the speed of plot and are ignored as needed. We are never going to get a hard number but neither is anybody else.

The whole civilian market makes the Dominion's JumpShip questions more interested.
