One more for the CV, and that's all my current variants done.

Was just wondering - I tried altering the colouring on the labels somewhat, added some gold to make it a bit more ASAEA-y:

(Image)

It just seems as though the combination of the gold and the light font is too faint to be distinguishable on the grey background. I tried adding red as a substitute, which works better.

(Image)

Not quite the gold-and-grey colour scheme I had in mind, but I could always make the program logo red-on-white, I suppose.

So, the question is - should I go with the gold, the red, or just keep it solid white as it was? Sorry about disturbing you guys with such a mundane question - I promise this'll be the end of that.

White looks more uniform, yellow looks more patriotic (in your nation) and red looks badass as all hell on white and grey.

Pretty much, yeah. It's just that the gold doesn't work at all, and neither do most variations on yellow - but my entire storefront's built up around a grey-and-gold colour scheme...

No idea which way to go. I'm stumped.

Stick with the usual colour then.

Or, why not change the MA11 CV BLOCK 1 part to yellow, and put a bit of yellow here and there? Maybe add some stripes or something.

Because I was hoping to use the continuous colour to highlight the many variants that the family of vehicles is built around. I tried making the 'MA11' and the 'Block 1' gold, using the white as the continuous colour, but it looks awful.

Stripes? Dunno, I feel as though that'd ruin the minimalist vibe. Though it already is quite a cluttered image, I guess.

Just in the corners or something to add a bit more flavour to the pic.

Like so, but near the bottom or something.

I suppose that's the best way to do it, yeah... Was quite happy with the fonts as they were, alas.

Something like this? The gold definitely comes out better this way, that's for sure.

So lets say I had an AK and it fired at 650RPM, how would I get it to speed up or slow down it's firing-rate?

Lighter or heavier bolt?

Force is mass multiplied by acceleration. Since your bullet is the same the force is the same. Thus a lighter bolt means it gets accelerated more quickly and will move quicker cycling the action more quickly as a result.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

Why put an M2 on that? You are just removing glory. The T-64BV ran on glory, you're ridding it of the only thing that made it decent. Remove NATO.
