Island Hopping - A GSRPG of Violent Land Grabs (OPEN)

Reader mode
OOf, we got some real technological powerhouses coming in this turn. Wonder what this world has in stock to return fire with.
 
I just write said:
I mean, if you can get your ships in gunnery range of my boats you'll probably be able to sink them. That aerospace supremacy though.

I mean maybe my Specials can duel with your normal and elites (probably not, cruise missiles are hugely lethal) but one of your specials can take all of mine out from space. Something pretty horrible is going to have to be thrown at you to match that sort of advantage.

On a separate note, I wonder what the epilogue will look like for our failed factions when they get back to their own worlds. I don't know that much about the world of fallout but I assume Ceaser's legion will have a field day and takeover much of the wasteland in the wake of the ruinous social upheaval.

As for ATLA, if you assume this is before the first season but with very slightly aged up characters then this is a major divergence. Zuko would have to be recalled and re-instated as crown prince now that Azula is dead or insane, which would change the journey of the gang a lot throughout the series. The fire nation would find out about them much later allowing them to move much more quickly, but it wouldn't stay secret forever and there is no way to know about Sozin's comet and the incoming earth kingdom invasion. On the other hand Ba Sing Sai would never fall so maybe their forces would be accessible during the day of the black sun making that invasion a success, especially without Azula to run interference? To many variables to look that far in advance.

I would like to remind you that the High-Penetration Orbital Probe Deployer is a research tool. It is designed for geological studies, rather than bombardment. As such it cannot reliably hit mobile targets.

Also, most of my boats literally just have an autocannon and some depth charges. I literally only have, like, eight naval units with more substantial armament. Two of which are submarines admittedly, but still.

If I do go with the GA, they are relatively friendly. But if you become their enemies.. well it won't be pretty.
Still trying to figure out which faction I want to do

Yes, and they are armed with cruise missiles. 24 cruise missiles is a colossal threat to both my navy and my entire nation and that's 2 frigates worth. Not to mention these ships are from a time before auto-cannons were even invented. They are still capable of doing huge damage.

I don't know why you're taking this side in the argument, these hundred odd years of rapid technological developments would obviously make a huge military difference. It's the equivalent of comparing a sopwith camel and a modern jet fighter only with 10 or twenty extra years of gap in each direction.

If I pick the Grand Alliance, they are already alllied with the British on their world, with a British officer as a Rear Admiral. I can see them allying with you here. At the very least that brings you up to a WW2 tech level. (The Army is.. well.. ACW/WW1 level)

Hmmm... Valid point I suppose. Honestly, I feel like the scariest things in my arsenal are combat rover spam and my relatively few armed spaceplanes. I'm actually not sure what you could bring to bear that would realistically be able to defeat a battalion of rifle-proof autonomous ground vehicles all packing heavy machine guns and ATGMs. And the armed spaceplanes I've got are quite frankly some of the scariest machines in the sky out of all factions. Seriously, only Skynet comes close in terms of sheer airborne lethality.

That said, I still think my mini-ships would be easy pickings for you for a simple reason: they only mount a LIGHT autocannon. I'm pretty sure your ships are heavily armored enough to literally ignore it. A Kerbonaut on the deck with a rocket launcher presents more of a threat, but that still isn't much.

Anyway, behavior-wise I'm planning on being mostly friendly until I bump into someone hostile.
 
Ha Ha Ha Ha jokes on you plebs my roman strength will obviously carry the day, so just surrender and we will treat you well.
BTW I kinda want to see how the British react to actual Romans, well any of the other factions too as well obviously

K-DEC: "Slaving pricks. Just glad they don't have even the slightest knowledge of spacefaring required to drop massive rocks on Kerbin from orbit. Honestly we're more worried about the Brits, since they could actually do that if they ever got to our portal."
