« on: June 25, 2020, 04:57:10 pm »Oh, you hush. This is steampunk, screw propellers and Da Vinci Aesthetic have mad buffs.Makka AirshipSo let me get this straight.
-snip-
You want an airship, and your first thought is "what if we make a helicopter airship out of a literal ship?"? And furthermore, you actually think a SCREW PROPELLER is capable of working as a helicopter rotor?
If this was, like, a da Vinci helicopter design it'd be OKish enough. But, like, lifting an entire ship into the air is a little absurd particularly as a first try. For goodness' sake the double-action revolver was Hard, just how literally Impossible is this likely to be?

M2.2 Haaheo-C Automatic Rifle
A Revision of the Haaheo-B rifle, the Haaheo C rifle goes above and beyond to fix the rate of fire issues our soldiers have been experiencing. The battery is moved closer and reshaped to reduce charge time while maintaining balance, and the nickel "thread" has a widened cross-section to improve recharge time, resulting in an extremely fast recharge. As a result, the latch that previously held the firing pin from retriggering has been modified to have an "off" mode, allowing optional fully automatic fire from the weapon. Semi-auto is also much faster in cycling time.

Look, the answer is simple. Make the steam core drive 4 batteries of 3 rotating barrels.

A weird thing that happened in Camden was actually that the police force became *less* representative of the population after the rebuild, because they had to hire new officers, and had to look outside the city. The force went from ~60% black to ~40% black.
Edit: Many majority-minority cities don't have representative forces, though. Camden was a bit of an exception there. And representative forces aren't perfect either - See Atlanta.

Majority black and other similarly disadvantaged minority cities still suffer from the historical lag in capital growth, and it's common for some of the poorer cities to have a lot of out-of-town landlords. Furthermore, a city like Camden is entirely possible to still suffer from discrimination from banks and lenders even if it is homogeneous.
Obviously, each city is different, and I can't explain the history of Camden or what causes it's issues, but a lot of majority black areas in the North are due to White Flight/Redlining, which dropped property values.

The info posted was several Facebook streams linked on Twitter with photos and local news articles. It is entirely possible that the civilians burned he house, and it's to me unclear exactly how the kids were found, but it's extremely clear that the Police didn't find them.
Either way, Milwaukee police not being willing to investigate the missing persons case due to "insufficiently cooperative" family is really bad.
