[The Greater Gambia]

Anyway, here's what my troops look like.

FIS Field Operative

Federation Army Trooper

Federation Marine

Tagali Homeguard (common Tagali armor, adapted for Santara Rangers and the FIS Head Hunters

Federal Officer Uniform

Federation Pilot/Vehicle Crewman

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

The only words that I can think of to describe it are "annoying cringe". Basically every anime I've seen has just been so lame, and so cringe, and repetitive it's annoying because the underlying stories are okay but they just drown it out with terrible effects and annoying, dramatized characters.

Mmm. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion in certain nations around the world. I get really cringy when I watch media that is supposed to be historically accurate, not being historically accurate. Really Company of Heroes 2? The regular soldiers were 1944 uniforms while the officers where 1941 uniforms throughout the game? Come on Relic. Also stuff like this.....

Also here is the list of uniforms in the ASR Military. For fun, the list of common military drones in the ASR military are posted as well.

Disclaimer: All uniforms are adjusted for species wearing it

• Augmented Infantry Exosuit (Exosuit)
• Heavy Body Armor
• Standard Body Armor
• Work Uniform
• Dress Uniform
• Ministry of Public Welfare Enforcement Division Judicator Uniform

• Mk. II Bipedal Humanoid Enforcer Drone (Automated Enforcer)
• Mk.II Bipedal Humanoid Infantry Combat Drone (Automated Infantry)
• Mk. IV Heavy Bipedal Multipurpose Combat Drone (Automated Heavy Infantry)
• Mk. I Transformable Aerial Combat Drone (Automated Aerial Mech)

I am apologizing right now because severe writers block has suddenly happened to me. The post is semi-worked on, and I have no idea when this writers block will disappear to let me finish it. It may be a couple days. Sorry...

TG me what you got, I'll give suggestions to help you stay motivated.

Too low-tech for my taste.

[The New Earth Federation]

Well, here is what my soldiers kinda look like,

Human Trooper

Dracoian Male Trooper

Dracoian Female Trooper

Commando

One of the many Paladin armor styles

What do you mean?

Not enough love goes into their soldiers. They need something... Bigger.

Like a twelve-foot suit of powered armor to protect them and supply enough firepower to kill a battalion.

What does it have a mini nuclear warhead launcher?

That's an option, yes.

Well then......I would like a battalion order please

[Alinora]

Alright, so basically Atlas uniforms overall.

Basic Infantry - most common on the battlefield and in space

Heavy Trooper - designed to provide infantry support, though operates in strike forces that need to deal a heavy blow quickly

Spec. Ops/Assassin - basically the guys who manuever behind enemy lines during battle

Dress Whites - standard dress uniform

But that goes against the entire Federation Military Doctrine.

Doesn't the Federation heavily rely on combat mechs both on the ground and in space?

Yes but like everything else in the Federation, they rely on speed and maneuverability instead of heavy armor and firepower.

[The New Earth Federation]

Alinora what is Atlas's military doctrine in terms of full scale battles or skirmishes?

Ah I get it. Try to be fast and take out the enemy before they know what's going on.

They need to get a new doctrine then. Big and burly is the way to go.

[Alinora]

Allinora what is Atlas's military doctrine in terms of full scale battles or skirmishes?

Atlas doesn't engage in full-scale battles.

Though in skirmishes, Atlas tends to utilize the efficiency of it's fleet to tear away at the enemy in multiple ways. Most Atlas ships (save like Cruisers and Dreads) are equipped with stealth drives and many with cloaking technology. They tend to have powerful cannons, and due to the fact that Atlas basically threw every race's tech together, are very wild-cardish, for lack of a better word. When fighting in space, Atlas tends to try and stay below the enemy fleet and hit them from the bottom while they use cyber-warfare to make things difficult and in some cases, go as far as deactivating weapons or shields. Basically, Atlas really gets under your skin and never engages directly because they cannot fight a conventional war.

I am going to try to work on my post some more.

[Alinora]

Got a new tactic:

J-4 "Biden" - Also called "Suicide Ships", they are usually remote-controlled vessels with near-light thrusters that are used to go near-FTL into enemy ships in order to literally tear them apart. They are commonly sent in swarms of thousands, and are horribly deadly.

Hopefully makes sense.

What if the ship it's targeting stops or changes direction?

Like, it's moving, so the Joe Biden, which moves at such an incredible velocity that any sort of further acceleration would be impossible, has to predict its target's movement. Since it's moving at less than the speed of light, any range exceeding more than a few light-seconds requires either a lucky shot, a stationary target, or a really stupid crew. This is also the range where there's guns batteries, starfighters, or both.

As for swarming, it's essentially just a pricey fighter so countering with your own swarm of fighters is effective enough.

It's mainly designed to target slower ships during battle, so it's not hard to miss a Dread. They're pretty cheap as well, since it's basically a hunk of metal flying nearly the speed of light. A few thousand of those hitting the hull of a ship will do damage. Likely won't destroy it, but will damage it.

Well, no. That is not true.

I don't know more than the basics of Relativity, so I can't really say anything about that. But I do know that under Newtonian physics, all you would need to make that kind of suicide ship viable is for the acceleration of the suicide ship to be capable of matching the acceleration of the target. Since such a suicide ship will likely be fairly heavy in sensors (for in-flight tracking) and be built with manoeuvrability in mind, that is not a terribly unrealistic requirement.

Never underestimate the sheer scale of kinetic energy.

If a ship can't stand up to heavy nuclear bombardment, then it definitely can't stand up against relativistic bullets either. If a ship can survive impacting with a one-ton bullet at a quarter of a billion metres per second, then as far as I care that ship is functionally impossible to destroy.

Even for a slow-moving dreadnought it has to be within a certain distance to be accurate against ANY moving target, and it's guaranteed that distance is within the range of the enemy's everything.

I still stand by that it wouldn't be able to turn. Most of it is given to gigantic thrusters for moving forward. Any turning thrusters would be tiny by comparison, not able to match the acceleration of another vessel.

Its flight path would also be incredibly predictable, and it can't dodge. I think turning would also test the limits of the ship's material as well.

Maybe it's a temporally invincible ship that can return to a state before its destruction through probability or some shit. It's magic, I ain't gotta explain ship.
