Power armor arms race, Legacy of Smith thread (Turn 4, Phase 1)
« on: October 31, 2019, 09:15:17 am »

Core thread
Legacy of Smith
Welcome Esteemed brother, to the high council. Find a seat and let us begin.
As you probably know the Order of Mason has begun trying to lay claim to the high value neutral areas of our fair colony. And analysis suggests that our weapons, while excellent on our home turf, would prove insufficient should we attempt to destroy them completely. Therefore we have recruited you to upgrade our armories and direct how they are deployed on the battlefield. Go now and get to work, that we keep the foolish Masons from allowing APOPHIS in. We have at most 6 months (3 turns) before combat truly begins, so get to work brothers, that we may be victorious.

The Jack(s)

The Jack is, in the simplest terms, a medical procedure to connect electronics to the bottom of the spine, where once our ancestors used their tails, and to the base of the spine, near the neck. These two, while separate, serve to different purposes, but both allow us to better make use of our natural talents.

The Base Jack will allow us to manipulate coding with the most efficient of the Supercomputers, the Human Brain. For starting out though, it will simply allow us to control our suits more simply, being able to send commands along with our bodies natural movements, making any power suits far more flexible in usage. better aiming and fine control, mostly.

The Tail Jack has a different purpose, and is a proof of concept. A mechanical tail that can be used in day to day life. Combined with the Base Jack, it will serve as a decent proof of concept, and is somewhat simple to do in comparison.

This Jack is mostly meant to be Prototype work, leading to better connections between man and machine later on, when we design things around them. As such, the designers have been told not to modify our suits for Jack use currently, but simply focus on making sure everything is working.



So, apparently Hard for this. It is the prototype to direct control of suits however, which will likely improve our ability to create them. And the sooner we have it, the better for the future. The other two designs will likely be a greatly improved suit, and a weapon of some sort.

Legacy Assault Smith Enhanced Rifle-1:

The LASER-1 is sadly not a laser but rather an automatic rifle that our soldiers can use to have their  combat effectiveness be way better, to a minimum of improving their medium range at combat and because the power of intermediate rifle rounds they can most likely go further. This 30-round box magazine fed automatic rifle carries a 5.56mm cartridge with a gas-operated long-stroke piston, tilting bolt action that fully automates the rapid-fire nature of this gun to about 500-600 rounds per minute when in action. Made mostly out out of metal, only the wooden stock and utilizing iron sights was designed to reduce down the cost of the weapon.

All LASER-1 are equipped with a metallic bayonet that can be enhanced with our Exos that improve muscular power of our soldier, allowing mechanical action to go to work and having the spear blade on the rifle to penetrate face plates with enhanced force and for our soldiers to always have an improvised weapon handy when underwater where bullets are less effective. The LASER-1 utilize smokeless powder in its rounds so it’s own oxider and shouldn’t we hindered when in the vacuum of space. Therefore this becomes the mainstay service weapon of our soldiers, adapting to the plentiful roles that it has to fulfill and it can come to the tasks.

While fine, it can also be made later on than the Jack(s).


Likewise, wasn't such a weapon as the LASER rated to be Hard to Very Hard? So the difficulty has no real advantage towards being created right off the bat. And as said in discord, what would you use revisions on?. The Jack will likely need 1, if only for integrating it for Exo Use on a good roll.

Bullets also don't work underwater.

Legacy Smith Advanced Component Assembly Plant (LSAC-AP):
The LSAC is a gleaming building in our industrial sector of the city, created right in the center this building has a single purpose role the creation and fabrication of advanced components, in which assembly conveyer belts and robot arms help workers process salvaged material and take the important bits out in the creation of advanced components, such as electronics, advanced organics, and metals by a group of human workers where goods are manufactured or assembled chiefly by manual and automated machines.

The second step of the LSAC is the fabrication part in which the collected advanced components of advanced technologies from the salvaged ARC are collected and through a Guns work force and automated machines, the Assembly Plant has the work force perform a series of mechanical and chemical operations on the advanced component scrap in order to change into a usable form for higher technologies that more correlate to the ones that we used in the Arcs. Therefore we have a factory that can translate salvaged material from the Arc and other advanced scraps that we collect and and through processing of that collected resource we have a independent chain of production, and have the start for creating advanced components.

Smith Fielded Light Rifle D-6 (SF-L "Ventilator" D-6)

The sixth iteration of our standard Rifle, the SF-L D-6 is a high-caliber anti-mech weapon, designed to be wielded by mechatronic forces. As such, it chambers a large caliber, 13mm x 100m.  The weapon is designed to be compact, with a construction molded plastic frame and steel parts. The magazine is relatively small, designed to handle 20 rounds, and manufacturing is geared towards producing as many filled magazines as possible so that while our forces will be forced to reload often, they will not run out of munitions. The chemical reaction used to accelerate the is a smokeless powder created from a process that turns wood into nitrocellulose. The weapon is semi-automatic.

This place does have a discord. And we kinda already agreed on infrastructure to start getting advanced components.

I just got to say that I hate the idea of relying on discord for games like this. As it doesn't enable folks who are just casually reading through the forums dont get to see the decision making process.

Yeah i stubbornly resist but that is more simply a character trait among me and my kin folk then anything else, any sort of change we got to fight haha. So i keep all my posts forum based so folk can at least read through a little something.

5+5 = 10 -2 Hard Difficulty. 8, average Result
The LSAC is an achievement of our people which has catapulted us forwards in manufacturing. Thanks to its advanced foundries we now have a steady supply of Advanced components for the war effort. +1 Advanced components.

2 Ore, 1 Organics, 1 Advanced Components.

Smith Fielded Shotgun- 11 "Exodus" (SFS-11 "Exodus")
the SFS-11 is a restructure of the Shotgun mk1, with the primary goal of reinforcing the barrel and adding a simple internal magazine that makes the weapon into a pump-action reloader. The weapons furniture is redesigned to be used by power-armored personnel with small magnetics embedded into it, allowing for suit-based magnets in the griping appendages and forearms of the LSF 1 to be used: Our soldiers will be able to hold the weapon more steady, lessening the effect of the recoil of the shotgun.
