Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

I think we're good on the weapons. However I'd like to recommend focusing on either heavily armed or armored for the vehicles. As it is they might either wind up being not particularly good at either, or lacking dreadfully in other categories.

Transports are specified, so it's specific enough if that's what's decided.

Preferred Weapon Type: Ballistics (1) TricMagic
Primary Infantry Arms Focus: Accurate, Good Quality and Reliable (1) TricMagic

Primary Vehicle Focus: Good Terrain Mobility over a number of different types, and Armor, Quality Armor.
(Air, Sea, Space, and Earth. We are good at making something with Quality for every requirement. Be it Deep Sea or Space Travel, Sandy Dunes or lush grasslands and mountains. You name it, we can build it, even deep earth operations and vehicles for Magma. This also translates to being very good at armor, give hulls and barriers are a vital part of what we do.)
Terrain/Environment/Armor Specialization (1) TricMagic


Rather than focus on weapons platforms, let us focus on Terrain and Environments. Armor is also good, as it's part and parcel of the package.

Gonna need to be a little more specific in regard to vehicles. "We can make things for every situation, also they're mobile and also they're armored" is quite the opposite of a focus.

Put more simply, the vehicles we make are designed to go in/on/across a variety of terrain, and can make the transition with little to no change. Multi-Terrain, in which Space and Deep Sea can also be considered terrains.

Armor is more the fact that our Hulls are designed to prevent destruction from affecting the inside.

+1 for vehicles that can traverse rough terrain. Definitely prefer mobility over heavy armor/heavy guns.

Edit: And I agree with the weapons

Mobility over rough terrain matters little if we can't do much with the mobility. And kinda screws over our aircraft designers as well.

Given how I described it...

The General idea is being able to deal with any environment type,be it deep space, underwater, atmospheres. Terrains in this case being everything. I think Man of Paper got that when we discussed in the discord.. If you have a better definition on that?

Quote from: Discord Ad for Terrestrial Reserve
When you explore Uncharted Regions of Space, but don't know what awaits you, the Terrestrial Reserve is who you Call. Our Vehicles are outfitted to survive a wide variety of environments you might face. Be it Heat, Cold, or EM waves, our gear will keep working to complete your mission and bring you home.

Designing Veichles that can survive Space, Reentry, atmosphere, Exit. As well as stuff that survives just about any condition, I think that is called rugged?


Apparently most combat will take place in atmosphere.. Still say our ground veichles handling any terrain is a good thing though. Air Support can be shot down at times.

Not exactly sure on the subject of vehicles. I largely want to see us building up to the point of basically bringing our own fortresses to the battlefield.
Heavy transports could eventually be extended into mobile fortresses, but the All Terrain Armor could be possibly used for constructing in-field fortifications...

Edit: nyeh, fuckit. I'm probably not gooing to wake up in time to change my mind. I'll vote transports and not be heartbroken regardless of the winner.

Bops. You do know that effectively place us in a coin-flip situation. All-Terrain can be modified with weapons, and will never be a bad choice, no matter what field we fight in. They also are a good base for bringing our own fortresses in a way. The one you picked would likely be a bit worse off in that reguard, even if it can get to that point slightly quicker.

But by going with transports, we ensure that any mechanised forces we have will be very well equipped, if not outright feared.

Besides, having our MBTs also serve as IFVs would be great; the look on our foes faces as they realise our tanks also carry their own infantry support.
