Shattered Fleets(OOC, Open)

[Australian Antarctica]

Would it be posible to be an oil rig owner who is completely neutral and barters fuel for food and supplies?

Basically the operators would be keeping an area of neutral territory where no fighting is permitted, and sould also have defenses mounted should someone prove troublesome. To keep people from bumping into eachother (and therefore fighting) radio contact and pre-planned arrivals would be strongly enforced.

Basically I want to make that rogue base who is operated by the semi-shady person who will deal with just about anybody for the right price.

Naw, I'd rather keep this Ship-Oriented.

M16 is still in use smart one, also it's not a military vessel and not everyone on board is military, you never said we HAD to keep thing hypermodern

The M16A4 is in use. The M16 is in limited use in certain militaries, and almost completely gone from most modern arsenals. And really? Be realistic. No USS Constitution, or the like.

Sorry not going mainstream, especially considering the constitution is still in seaworthy condition and sails occasionally, so yeah, plus the fact the constitution requires no fuel means it's practical considering it only needs to stop for supplies and ammo, so again I'm not taking part in an RP where the OP plans to have everything uniform, so either accept my app or goodbye and I'll spread the word of your quality

Sooooo, Sealand?

also can I use sealand as a base of operations.

First mistake, disrespecting AA.

Second mistake, arguing with AA about guns.

Third Mistake, no, it's been 80 years. No M-16s.

M16A4s fine.

M16s? No

And thank you bud.

You mean wanting to keep things realistic by not having a 221 year old ship made of wood that could be destroyed in one hit with a modern ship's gun? Because I'd rather have a few quality RPers over a few dozen one's who don't want to be realistic. You leave, fine. You start spreading the word that I'm a bad person or something like that? Then I'll go to the mods and report harassment.

yes spread word of us being tough on people. also we are doing this to be fair on you. the consituttion is barely seaworthy, hasn't been I active duty since the civil war and in this rp be going against destroyer class ships from the 90s and early 2000s. You tell me why he's not letting you in.

[Wallenburg]

Local Gun Stores? You ever read about the gun laws over there? You can't even buy a normal gun usually! And the police in Ireland don't carry ARs. MP5, MP7s, P226s, and others, but not the AR.



Assault is a behavior. The correct term would be Battle Rifle or Combat Rifle.
And you honestly wouldn't be able to acquire them over there.


So? I prefer the M14, but I won't arm my crew with them because it wouldn't be practical to get a hold of the guns.


M1 Garands? Not used since the '60s. M16? 80s. So...no.

M16 is still in use smart one, also it's not a military vessel and not everyone on board is military, you never said we HAD to keep things hypermodern, and I don't plan to, plus there are so many Garands in existence, I see them everyday in ROTC, plus 3x06 ammunition is still one of the best out there. So I'm not changing, and I'll spread the word of how much of a jackass you are to boot

Insulting the OP, what a genius way to get accepted!

Even I, the most silver tongued typer on NS, couldn't pull off that one.

Trust me, I tried.

Did it twice, succeeded once. Trick is to make it sound like a compliment.

I've tried to compliment an OP before, but they took it as an insult. It went all downhill from there.

So anybody feel like trading with ICGV Þór? Or should I just spend my time bombarding oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico?

What you got against my oil rigs bro?

What you got against my oil rigs bro?

They're the only target I can plausibly attack and not get completely wrecked.

I mean, the ICGV Þór is a patrol ship. I am not going to go around challenging destroyers to a fight.

Oil rigs, on the other hand, should be easy prey. Especially if I start running low on fuel.

Blowing up oil rigs isn't a very efficient way of getting their fuel.

I'm a fucking aircraft carrier.

And I have about ten sailors on a rig, policing larger numbers of refugees.

Oil rigs are usually not equipped to survive bombardment from 40mm shells. And your aircraft carrier can't be everywhere at once. Unless you have enough cannons to put one in every oil rig...

Yeah, but it wouldn't be hard to track a boat in the Gulf, when I'm an aircraft carrier.

Send out some helos to scout, once they find you, send a raptor to sink you.

[Sanabel]

I might make a South African frigate. Because I don't have any other ideas.

Well, that's true enough. I suppose it's a little difficult to stay hidden in an environment that is perfectly flat and monotonous.

ICGV Týr?

We can make a little club of Icelanders. And two 40mm Bofors is always better than just one.

[Australian Antarctica]

That moment when you realize you forgot to finish your own App...

[Plzen]

Hmm, OP, what would be the state of the Icelandic ports around this time?

The capital Reykjavik has a truly gigantic 6-figure population (Reykjavik proper has 121,000 people and its surroundings have another 50,000).

But other than that, even big cities like Árborg (pop. 7,890), Reykjanesbær (pop. 14,500), and Akureyri (pop. 18,100, the biggest Icelandic city that isn't a glorified Reykjavik suburb) are more towns than cities by American standards. So how well did they fare compared to bigger cities in other countries?

If Akureyri or, even better, Reykjanesbær survived more or less intact (i.e. isn't smoking ruins), I'll be very interested in developing into a base where I can make some repairs and gather some supplies.

except when your biggest rival has 3 77mms and two SAMs

Whaaaa? What rivals? The RP hasn't even begun and someone already hates me?!?

...that is not a good sign. But you sure you don't want to buy our services? I mean, if you're looking for a viking theme, who better to talk to than the Icelanders?

I will burn your tundra and eat your tiny horses.

Tundra doesn't burn.

But seriously. Whyyyyy?!?
