We need to start developing some tech.

[Ludolf Vaas]

I occasionally like to peruse the Republic and OS forums to see where they're at tech-wise, and anyone who has spent a significant amount of time around this topic as well as invasions, etc. knows that things are, to say the least, competitive out there. Developing competitive technology seems to be an important (though not the only) ingredient in the success of a faction when it comes to expansion, invasion, and battles. So we should start talking about what we can do to join the game and make ourselves competitive.

Right now the Republic seems to be revamping their tech to compete with OS. We will probably not get on their level for a while, but the important thing is that the Republic and the OS are wrapped up with each other right now. This gives us the perfect opportunity to quietly grow in our corner of the galaxy while they slug it out. Admittedly I know very little about developing tech for this board, or even what constitutes "good" and "outdated". But as I learn, we all shall learn, and if anyone has experience with this, or owns companies/has access to technology we can use, let's discuss that now.

I'm very much in the same boat with very little experience within the submission field. However I'm looking into it with great enthusiasm.

There a several vehicle concepts I want to attempt as well as submissions for our rank and file armour and modifications.

The only sucky part is of course right now as a minor faction we have a limitation on larger ships. [member="Ludolf Vaas"]

Moira's company can sell you some toys.


It's mostly a droid company specialising in HRDs (SW Terminators), but it also got its hands on plenty of former Atrisian Empire tech and OP toys (such as bolters and other anti-Force-user weapons). It can also clone soldiers, even forcers.


Oh, and turn heretics, prisoners and malcontents into productive, well-ordered machines by processing them into HRDs.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

[member="Aram Kalast"] in the meantime we can work on smaller things, like Stormtrooper armor, hand weapons, tanks, and starfighter craft. I'll write something up for the Stormtrooper armor, I also brought my alt [member="Maximilian Jens"] over who is a TIE pilot. I'll probably submit something for our standard issue TIE fighter under his name.

[member="Moira Skaldi"] That's awesome, what specific weapons do you have that could be of use to our army?

Stuff Archangel can sell includes bolters (ideal for taking down Forcers), shatter gun variants (e.g. shatterbolter), anti-force user grenades, metal-eating insect grenades, Shadow Rifles (modern version of the canonical Nightstinger) and other things.


Along with HRDs, battle droids, droid tanks and artillery. HRDs are essentially elite assassin/assault droids designed to blend into organic society. Think Terminator. Can be designed to look like a variety of humanoid species. You can find more details about them in the storefront (link is in the sig - it shows all the robots we make, though not the toys we acquired through raids).



We also have a toy that the First Order could find useful to exert control over Force-users: http://starwarsrp.net/topic/13027-x4-2-biological-threat-containment-system/


This is what the Atrisian Inquisition used. Control device implanted in the spine with wires leading up to the brain. EMP shielded. Can induce either extreme pain or paralysis. Archangel has the blueprints since AE's former Empress and chief scientist works for it now.


We also have a phrik mine on Seltos that can sell phrik. Obviously not for mass produced stuff, but enough for say limited phrik armour production. If any of this is of interest, Moira can do a quick thread with one of you about selling toys to the First Order.

 

[Aram Kalast]

Working on some submissions today.

[member="Moira Skaldi"]
Very interested in some of the stuff you offer, especially any deal we can make with a phrik mine.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

[member="Moira Skaldi"] I'd be game for doing a thread that lays out a business plan. Would you like me to start it?

[member="Aram Kalast"] which subs are you working on? Just so we don't overlap.

 

[Moira Skaldi]

[member="Aram Kalast"]


Excellent.


[member="Ludolf Vaas"]


That would be nice.


Can set it at Archangel's Seltos base if you want to buy phrik in the thread.


For sake of transparency, Moira runs Archangel under her cover identity as Nalia Alderana and is not publicly known to be an HRD. I'll post with her or with my Callisto alt. Just tag Moira Skaldi in it.

I was about half-way through stormtrooper armour update when I saw you were working on one. We can post both into the Pre-Factory and go from there.
I've got two underway for a troop carrier and scout speeder based on the vehicles already seen for the Force Awakens.

As for the TIEs, I have a concept based on the information for the TIE/fo which is a shielded variant to the classic we know.

I haven't started any weapons just yet but can move onto that if necessary.

I also feel we should establish a company specifically for the FO unless someone is dedicated enough to allow their existing company to become a FO driven entity.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

[member="Aram Kalast"] Actually I haven't even started on the Stormtrooper armor yet because I'm a procrastinator. Haha! So go right ahead. Maybe I can do a little R&D on weapons.

[member="Moira Skaldi"] sounds good, will start it when I can.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

[member="Moira Skaldi"] I started our thread and tagged you.

 

[Aram Kalast]

Need to get some small scale naval ships up as well. I've seen a few we could try and claim already posted.

 

[Kamon's OOC]

I have a ton of submission experience so let me know if you want help.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

Thanks [member="Silas Fox"], that would be a big help. Also welcome!

Right now I think what we need most are the following:

-Stormtrooper Armor
-The standard-issue weapon & sidearms for Stormtroopers (either create our own or use something existing)
-Standard TIE craft for the Navy (again, either create our own or use existing tech)

I'm in a thread with Moira Skaldi right now securing an arms deal with Archangel for a bunch of specialty weapons for the military and defenses for Starkiller Base. Do we have any volunteers to tackle any of the three things listed above?

 

[Kamon's OOC]

I'll take the TIEs.

 

[Ludolf Vaas]

Fantastic!

[member="Aram Kalast"] , if you need help on the sub for stormtrooper armor, I can lend a hand.

 

[Aram Kalast]

I've already got an accepted TIE up: Here
However we can use some variants on this in order to cover all angles.

I'm working on the stormtrooper armour now, just have to work out helmet systems and it should be done once I've formatted it all nicely.

I would like some real attention spent on some cruisers and larger ship basis for our faction to use. It is the one area I feel we can really add some flavour.

Another area is the already 'canon' spottings from the First Order such as the transporter and the shuttles. Both of which are on my to do list but can be done by anyone.

[member="Silas Fox"] [member="Ludolf Vaas"]

 

[Aram Kalast]

[member="Ludolf Vaas"] I wouldn't say no. Feel free to do a some research into more advanced helmet systems for our troops.

I've got a basic outline, but would love some input.

 

[Kamon's OOC]

I'll do a variant TIE and a cruiser for us.
