Can a ship use an active sensor lock on an enemy made by another friendly ship to fire on the enemy? I'm guessing not or it would be too easy to just use swarms of cheap, disposable, tiny scout fighters to get active locks for much bigger ships with actual guns.

Huh. So is there a downside to using a bunch of hard to hit and disposable scout fighters for most target locking needs to keep the big guns safe? I'd guess that you can't really fit a very good active sensor in a fighter or FAC frame.

So the game is modelling GLADIO as a whole AI-controlled empire? Can it build spaceships?

Purely hypothetically, would nuking it from orbit be an option?

The other reason the deoclonization demand is important, and why it should actually be very publicly reported on as a demand the Comintern made, is because Japan's whole line of diplomatic attack is going to be "You're just another empire!" So it is good to have them on the record as refusing to dismantle their own empire.

Mister Bates posted:The XCOM Cydonia team prepares the first of several preliminary reports on their initial exploration of the Face and surrounding environs. This one is on the most immediately pressing issue – the biological remains. All told, over two thousand skeletons and corpses have been found in or immediately around the Face. All of them are of the same species as the Roswell aliens. With a few exceptions inside the Face itself, most of them appear... to have expired from injuries sustained during combat – blunt force, penetrating wounds from projectile weapons, shrapnel, cauterized full-body puncture wounds the team conjectures are from energy weapons, slashes from blades. Some things about this whole scenario are very mysterious. So, one side (attacking) had all the same gun, the other side had a mixed variety of armaments. All the corpses show a diverse array of wounds. This seems to imply that the defenders won, and the corpses are all the attackers. But the scenario otherwise seems to imply that the attackers were the better military force (actual standardized weapons and heavier armor, like real soldiers) and there are signs inside that it was the Roswell aliens defending the compound (some of the bodies being shot were behind a barricade). There's also the strange fact that the losing side's corpses were just kinda left around and there's only dead Roswells. Would make sense if the attackers won and then removed their fallen in a hurry... but then what were they attacking for if they left the compound intact and operating? Alternately, this could be some kind of civil war between Roswells, so regardless of which side won all the corpses would be of the same species.

Not sure it's especially bastardly to cite the very real fact that capitalists tried to reignite nuclear war in an argument for preventing them from being able to do that again.

I mean yes there's a choice, we can choose not to cite the very real fact that capitalists tried to reignite nuclear war in an argument for preventing them from being able to do that again, but if we chose instead to do that, it would not be any kind of underhanded move, it would be entirely in good faith because we don't want capitalists to be able to kill more people with nukes!

Pirate Radar posted:Another part of our current suggestions involves an upgrade to the DS001’s capabilities and usefulness by expanding its operational range. Unlike the above enhancements, greater range is achieved not by upgrading the design itself but by envisioning, as we have before, a “FAC Carrier” design with a central carrying bay large enough to accommodate a single fast-attack craft. This ship would be able to travel much farther and operate for a much longer time than the craft it carries, sparing the fast-attack craft from the need to haul the additional fuel and life-support around at all times. The carrier craft would also be able to refuel the fast-attack ship from its own tanks if necessary. Is there a game mechanics reason to have a carrier to move one railgun FAC around as opposed to swapping out the hanger for more/bigger railguns

Sorry if this is well understood and I missed it, but: -The Minervans are a different species from the Roswells, right? If so, helping the Minervans could implicitly mean "picking a side." -Do we even know why the Minervans are out there? Not saying not to give them sorium but it would be good to understand what we'd be getting ourselves into if we help them out!

Crazycryodude posted:For this one at least I'm pretty sure the them-but-not-them the Minervans are talking about is trying to communicate a concept analogous to civil war, or multiple polities mainly populated by the Roswell species, or something along those lines. Hm, I'd interpreted it to mean the Roswells are a multi-species empire.

Asterite34 posted:Very much this. Whatever their political affiliations were originally, they're likely willing to at least appear amenable to whatever we, the local major potentates, are into. They likely know as much about our political situation as we do about theirs, and saying "Congratulations on your revolution against whatever thing you successfully rebelled against" is a pretty noncommittally good thing to say in general. "We mourn that we weren't able to do the same, which is why we're stuck here" isn't though, that's the more specifically interesting part.

"Historical people" could easily be its own third "track" from aliens or people with any possible living relatives. Actually it might be best to have several tracks based on the known level of general scientific knowledge of a time period. Getting someone from 1850 AD up to speed is going to be easier than doing the same for someone from 1850 BC. (Or maybe not, given the Ancient Greek writing!)
