RA Rx posted:Have you considered turning over Angola to a friendly country and running it as a shadow colony? There's precedence for mercenaries taking over African countries. Unfortunately it doesn't end terribly well for anyone involved. If I can think of an entertaining way for us to have a "friendly" government we could roll with that. But I'd rather go as we have been and let the nation building part play out in the background, if at all. I'll definitely let the plans get revised as you guys see fit. There won't be any new intel. The mission is built, I finished Rohan goes crazy script. The scenario just needs a bit of polishing up now.

As long as the Count provides us with a safe harbor and a steady supply of fissile material he can build his nation however he wants, that's not our job.

do keep in mind we are mercs, not the brotherhood of nod. so I don't think we are taking over continents unless we discover some extremely valuable alien space rocks capable of completely changing the world's economy forever. :V

 Operation First Impressions is a go.  I'm hoping to give it a shot tonight, but if I run out of time maybe tomorrow. The scenario is pretty straight forward. The other 4 factions are all active doing "things" as well. Some to us, some to other people. It should prove to be a damned bloody affair.

Taking land is always a hassle, it's full of people and some weird "government" thing. It's far better to make land. Seasteading is the future. A massive raft built around something that can be used as an aircraft carrier. Hydroponics. Aquaponics. Humanitarian aid - homes and jobs for refugees, on the free and wild ocean! Or sea. A large lake might be better.

Honestly I'd much rather have our own floating hypercarrier period. That's infinitely cooler than any other base we could "acquire." Though I agree with my fellow posters that it needs omni-terrain capabilites.

I just checked the Gorgon stare and goddamn what a recon pod, especially at day time, ~40 nm detection limit, ~18 miles classifiaction and ~6 miles it can read the fine print of a contract.

I hope to first impress some bombs on something? Also, how recent do the museum holiday photos have to be? I can whip up some poo poo if you give me three years of leeway. If stuff need to be at least this year, I am probably better suited for the other thread...

Stago Lego posted:We might hit oil! Depends on the complexity and how clever I want to get. The first two Tibet scenarios went together quick, the third one took a bit longer as I tried to get some new scripts into the mix. It took me maybe an hour or two to build the entirety of Angola's air, radar, and SAM infrastructure. So maybe 3 hours tops? Plus a few more to test it and make sure I don't set a WRA wrong and no one shoots or the MLRS's go to machine gun range and don't fire rockets. Jimmy4400nav posted:On top of that, are you actually coding in missions or does CMANO have a mission editor that you are using? I was curious how these missions were actually made! There's a scenario editor that you can do a ton of stuff with. In addition you can use Lua scripts to get even more flexible. The more I'm playing with it the more stuff I'm discovering I can do. Basically I set sides, add facilities, assign them as needed, propagate aircraft, set mission areas, and whammo, let em go to town. To add some variance I usually set multiple missions and set them to be random. For example the JF-17's in our 2nd mission only had a 30% chance to enter the battle. That way it's exciting and interesting for me to run it too. Yooper fucked around with this message at 20:35 on Apr 22, 2017 |

If we're talking museum photos, I think I have some photos from my trip to ESAM last year I could throw up. It's mostly early cold war stuff, but I'm sure there's something there we could use.
