So, tomorrow, I'll get that PW bar up people were talking about, unless someone beats me to it. That way we can leave this thread for relevant information only, such as operation planning and applications.

Here ya go, you animals. I got it done early. It's a sucky OP, but you get the idea. Enjoy, Now, since it's 4:00 am, I'm bed.

[Esalonia]

So, is my app accepted?

[Exantos]

Patience, kleiner, patience. Do you guys want me to get up the next post on legion about my characters or should I wait until DEN's boys come closer?

[Die Erworbenen Namen]

This all depends on my posts speed :/

At this point I'm pressed for motivation.

[Greater Soviet Ukraine]

Even though I started it, I'll blame Monfrox for turning it into a meme.

For those who missed it, Monfrox submitted an app for a pair of snake-people (the Scytale sisters? [you can tell them apart by hair-color]) with sniper-rifles.
-From what I gather, they have a lower IR signature, don't need to eat or breathe as much, etc.

Blame me, for I have been thinking of a way to enact that idea for about a year now.

Yes, they're sisters. About 2-3 years apart from birth. They'll be easier to hide and won't show up on thermals as much. Though they're still technically classified as warm-blooded (because they need to be able to withstand other climates), they have a lower natural body temperature.

Also, assuming is how things get broken and people get hurt.

Scytale? But that's a Dune character. Oh no.... not again....
THE SPICE MUST FLOW

EDIT: Oh wait, didn't see URA's bar post. See you in twelve hours and don't expect me to be sober.

I was actually referencing this

Well DEN's guys are still a ways off, whereas my team is practically on your front doorstep.

[The United Remnants of America]

So, is my app accepted?

Oblaren: Your AMAT is... Accepted! Welcome to Task Force Atlas!

Birtonia: Your Rangers are... Accepted! Welcome to Task Force Atlas!

Esalonia: Your SEALs are... Not yet Accepted. RP Experience is necessary, sorry.

The Rest of You: It seems as if they last 4 pages was about the following topics: AC-130s, My gender(Really, though, what the fuck, guys?), trains, and memes. I'm so proud of you all.

In reference to this, I shall update your standing to: Accepted. Welcome to Task Force Atlas.

Hmm, ROMULUS drop, eh Shyluz? Seems like my Hailstorm constellation has competition.

Care to elaborate on how your system works? I'm curious.

You want everyone's stuff, don't you?

[Oblaren]

Crew of the Deadman's Express called in an airstrike...I think. Could my team save them, by shooting down the zombies and get the survivors and get away before a missile hits?

*cracks knuckles*

Time to get my orbital physics on!

Alright, so, approximately 100 kilometers above the atmosphere is Shyluz's civil space station, known as Khrabrost. It's your generic space station for civilians. At approximately 95 kilometers orbital is Shyluz's military station, which is still mostly classified. It is commonly known as Khrabost Square. It is equipped with several point defense guns of the thirty mm caliber, and is primarily intended for ground support. It is given several types of ordinance pods, the ROMULUS pods are equipped with a ROMULUS class automated sentry, and can be dropped from orbit using disposable ion thrusters (these are real, they have the thrust equivalent of the weight of a single sheet of paper,) it then falls into atmo. Once at one kilometer up, it deploys drouge chutes, and cuts them at 500 meters. It also detaches the heat shield at the 500 meter mark. It then lands using integrated solid rocket boosters. The second kind is a REMUS pod, which deploys much in the same way, but with a REMUS class automated sentry instead of a ROMULUS. The third type is given weaponry instead of a sentry, and is used as a mobile resupply point. The fourth and final pod type is the highly classified TITANICA pod. Which amounts to a standard rod-from-God system, but the heat shield is filled with small explosives, it essentially acts as a armor penetrating area of denial weapon.

Science-y enough, Cong?

Also, just call me Shy.

*high fives*

Your Titanica sounds a lot like my S5 Orbital Kinetic Weapons Platforms, which are a system of eight sats that use the rods from god system as well. I also have a slightly similar space station that's totally not a rip-off of the Clancyverse Freedom Star station... *covers name of my station, which is immorally stolen as well*

We're all friendz here.

No... Not at all...

HEHEHE!

ROMULUS isn't an airstrike silly, it's an airdropped sentry turret!

With a ridiculously over-sized mini-gun.

And then I'll call in a TITANICA and level the golf course.

Not the golf course. Unless you want the shockwave to damage/kill the VTOLs over-flying the area right now.

A lot better than most orbital weapons systems I've seen here. I have a few minor nitpicks, but all in all it seems fine (except for one thing).

• Ion engines take a long time to generate meaningful Delta-V. Timeliness is a priority, so you should use a liquid fuel engine. Your soldiers do not want their support to arrive in a few months.
• I can see the motivation to deploy the drogues and parachutes so low: it increases speed, and, more importantly, accuracy. You are putting a lot of stress on the system by doing so, though.
• SRBs aren't very controllable. They're fine to just slow it in the last few seconds, but they won't help with guidance.
• The atmosphere ends at 10,000 km, one third of the way to the geosync (depending on what you go by). You should measure the height of your station above the ground, not the atmosphere.

Oh, and one major problem: It will take hours for the system to deploy, depending on where you are in the world.

I assume that Khrabost Square is in polar orbit. Assuming the pods aren't using a lot of Delta-V to sharply change their orbit prior to reentry, they will need to wait for Khrabost Square to be coming up on the part of Earth where the supplies were requested, which I think will take a couple of hours at least. I could be wrong about this, though. I'm going off of guesswork, not simulations.

Then may I save your troops?
