Royal Grifftigers?
Oh they are the ones with 4 RL-10’s mounted, right?
Nah, just Bastet's cubs. Because the house rule is, 'those who play pranks on the Queen are fair game for chasing-and-pouncing practice'.

It'll probably be a while before I'm willing to spend DoME actions on this, but as a feudal ruler this is exactly the kind of long term vanity project we should be doing (not that our other shorter term ones aren't as well)A sixth ice comet would bring in sufficient water to truly start a proper water cycle on the planet and potentially make it marginally habitable, albeit only within radiation hardened shelters for at least a few centuries.
I think a 5,900 ton Aerodyne is a tad too large to a relatively cheap and expendable PT boat.
It’s been months since the impact on Griffon II, however for safety the orbitals had remained evacuated and shifted to significantly higher orbits. Which proved to be a very wise decision as in early December a swarm of increasingly serious volcanic and seismic events on the planet culminated in an enormous mega volcano erupting at a scale comparable to the Deccan Traps, only far more explosive. Additional super volcanoes are erupting elsewhere on the planet, and it is estimated that within a month or so the entire surface will be lava.
Engineers at the Aerie have meticulously studied the samples of anti-personnel gauss weapons that were procured from the NRI. The report has you shaking your head in a mix of exasperation and amazement. The mad geniuses had evidently started with a far deeper understanding of gauss technology and materials than you had, and had applied it to convert a machine gun of nearly identical design to your own into a gauss machine gun, still using the Browning feed that had served for over a millenia to feed steel slugs into the breach for the magnetic coils to sling down range at ludicrous velocities. It’s somewhat bulkier than a ‘normal’ Machine Gun, at least in the hand-held form factor that you have samples for that is evidently used in the Roman’s power armor.
Jeremy now is wearing a pointier pointy bit to his uniform than you ever had to wear, since you’d managed to keep yourself technically only a Colonel, while he’s just been promoted to Brigadier General and placed in command of 3rd Armored. This is helped by the fact that you refuse to wear the abomination unto the fashion gods that is the ‘Empress’ uniform your loving children have come up with, with the truss-supported pointy bit that can’t pass through doors and has to fold down to avoid being crushed by ordinary ceilings.
Any uniform that you have to wear a power armor suit in order to simply support its weight is a uniform you are not going to wear, thank you very much.
The grifftiger kittens are incredibly cute, even if they get into literally everything. Wadjet seems to enjoy finding the most unlikely places to hide, then mewling for hours until somebody manages to find where she managed to get herself stuck this time. Sokar, by contrast, seems to think that everybody else in the palace exists solely for the purpose of petting him on imperius command, and if he weren’t cute as a button doing it he’d probably not get half the free pettings he seems to shamelessly extort from everybody.
You blame Jane for challenging you to use the word ‘well’ that many times. So now she was on kittensitting duty, which meant that Sokar had a dedicated petting person for a week and Jane was also now responsible for Wadjet Wrangling.
She’s still pouting about this.
Are you thinking of the line of tactical knives?I could swear I have heard that word somewhere, But for the life of me i can't remember where. And google fu is failing me. And no I do not mean the Dinosaur for once.
It's Google big surprise there.
Honestly the main problem I have with converting the Mirco/Velociraptor lines to the Troodon at least is that one it's a bit too big for PT Boat analog and two the lines are planned to be converted to other designs and have further production planned to boot(although I suppose we could always build more lines to compensate). I have no problem with the Troodon being built assuming it's being used in the role of flotilla leader for smaller PT boat designs like for example the proposed Tarbosarus design
The contest called for it to be that fragile though, rules were that a PT boat design couldn't go higher than armored 6.The problem with the Tarbosaurus design is that it is incredibly fragile and has barely one-fourth the firepower of the Troodon while still costing sixty percent as much. It's really not cheap enough for the "expendable" concept to work.

Its also never supposed to get into normal weapons range and stay at cap/subcap ranges so most of the Troodon's firepower would be getting used 90% of the time.
fair enough I suppose.Yes, the Troodon is outside of the PT boat competition. My argument is that the limited PT boat class is inherently flawed (anything with Piranha missiles will simply not ever be cheap enough to be that kind of 'disposable' combatant) and that the more capable Troodon is the way to go instead.
Piranha's are actually fairly cheap compared to most of the dropship itself though (2 million for the launcher 3 million for an ammo stack when looking at MML) unless i'm missing something.Yes, the Troodon is outside of the PT boat competition.

If nothing else the fishhook manuever we did in the simulation against the Kuritans would have been a heck of a lot more successful if they could also attack while shadowing them.
... You know, I never actually put that together. Looked at the major unit tracker, and that thing is legitimately insane. A factory building these will be a making bit less A/D than a Devastation factory (but a bit more HP; they're both pretty close beyond the theoretical ability to kill one of these and half the A/D earlier than killing the Devastation), but these will be... I think they'll actually be cheaper than Velociraptors (if barely) after we finish the first one.I will point out that with a Battle Value of 38,106 plus weapons reach out to Capital Long, the Troodon is absolutely insane. Even though it's much smaller, it's second only to the Devastation for raw firepower, and outguns smaller SLDF destroyers.
