After we draw this discussion out Poland-ball style.

Also, I just realized, what with most of you boycotting Lyras... that would actually make me a pretty attractive arms-supplier.

I don't buy others weapons.

Mostly.

I make my own.

I use Lyran, Hurti...
I don't have the time to make my own.

As a matter of curiosity on this point, how many of you folks actually boycott my work? I accept that a particular ship-class doesn't fit many folks' way of doing things, and that's fine, but I'm curious as to the rationale for the rest.

Woah! That was magical.
(You post it, and they will come...)
As I said, I've made multiple purchases from you.

That is rather... unnerving. Makes me wonder if he has a bot going around alerting him when his name pops up in a thread or something. Man that would be cool...

Anyways, I (and my puppet) don't really buy from anyone. It's all either real world materiel or stuff I designed myself. That said, I've never really had a complaint with Lyran Arms. I've occasionally come across people using their equipment, and its all been fairly realistic high-end military gear.

Ta for the sentiment it's good to know. I do try. Try to integrate my forces with our current understanding of technology, and try to generate the most useful combat effects. I wore green long enough myself to get really frustrated with cost-cutting. It can bite harder than people realise, out at the pointy end.

GAmeTopians, I lurk. I read, take in, and try to see what niche I can fill with my next design. Hasn't been much new stuff needed of late, incidentally. Some things being built, but the effort I put into each means I generally want to be fairly sure what I want to build, before I spend the months it takes me of research and writing before the next is ready.
So I do chime in unexpectedly, every so often. This seemed as good a time as any.

I'd like to see you come up with some drones. That would be amazing.

How the hell can we have 30 votes but only 27 members?

Peopleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, we had a system.

EDIT:

Lots of images on Lyras' arms front btw, probably should fix that man.

Stop.

31 is too many for 27 members.

We have 4 outsiders who voted. I vote for a lynch mob to track said outsiders down.

Most of us boycott Lyras?

And h my gods, we finally summoned him.

I boycott for bandwagon effect. And because I'm trying to take the arms supplying niche in my own region and some people buy Lyran and we can't have competition.

Think there are a couple. Tend to make noise, though. I'd be happy to discuss any criticisms, but no one seems to really want to discuss such. That's a pretty legitimate rationale, though. Protection of one's own defence industry is entirely valid.

Do we have any on going rp? Dark sun seems closed to me D:
I is wantings into rp

Technically kind of closed/open right now. Hard to explain.

The other ideas are in development hell, but that might change soon.

My economy works on a trade deficit and balances the checkbook(along with paying for the state-owned corporations and the military) by selling billions in arms deals.

You'll be able to post in Dark Sun in a litle, I'm just sorting out the bad guys.

Shush, you.

I'm still trying to make a tri-mode motor-pulse-ramjet for a drone with lines similar to the JB-10.
-Then I'd strap a 35mm automatic grenade-launcher to it.

Lyras is posting on the Project Warfighter thread? Whut?

Emmeria stocks Task Force Atlas with Apex Internationale equipment though, in case a squad lacks certain ordinance. That and alot of Emmerian tech is derived from partnerships with Apex...

I don't buy weapons because I like having my weapons and tech secret.

My nation is a fictional eastern-western crossbreed, or at least I think it is.

My stuff comes from 2-3 major home corporations.

URA is there a place for Aerial Special Operation Units?

Like, my Tier 1 Unit is based off the HAWX Squadron from Tom Clancy's HAWX and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon series.
HAWX Squadron has their own ground elements but is a predominantly Aerial force (Jets etc).

It operates closely with the USAF, USMC and USN.

Oh trust me, I know HAWX. So far, there hasn't been a need or use for one.

But you're a puppet, so I'm now wondering who you are, eh?

It ain't mine.

I'm HAWS, remember?
