Mostly likely so we can get our powah armor. But yeah, I agree we should take advantage of the PR right now, so I'll vote for that.Tylonius said:Why do some people want to hide out in the Garage? We can do that later, if we do it now we lose initiative and the ability to use the publics shock at us getting free to get stuff done.
We won't. We'll just focus on selling other things. Weapons are good, but they will become a secondary priority.BoSPaladin said:I don't want Tony to stop selling weapons!
That's why I want him to hide in the garage, to make better weapons!
What will the primary priority be?Tylonius said:We won't. We'll just focus on selling other things. Weapons are good, but they will become a secondary priority.
power generation via arc reactors.BoSPaladin said:

Public opinion always matters. Also, if we wait people will start to ask what we are planning. If we don't tell them they'll start preparing defenses, if we do they'll freak out. Not to mention if we just wait an head into seclusion people might think we've been damaged by our experiences and maybe not suitable at this time to run a large corporation.Antumbra said:Such as? Public opinion means basically nothing substantive to Tony Stark's control over his company, they don't dictate or influence his actions. Disarming Stark Industries will be frontpage news next week, or next month, or next year.
Seizing the initiative here doesn't actually get the things done that we want.
Alternatively stark walks into his lab and then walks out with an Arc reactor design. I mean the idea that he needs to look at his dads notes to create a scaled up version or one suited to mass power production is utter bullshit.Tylonius said:Public opinion always matters.

No, waiting is not a good idea. Better to do it now.
We already know the Arc reactor works. There is one keeping us alive at the moment. Besides, we don't need to announce exactly what we are doing. It would be a press release. Just say we are shifting from Weapons to Robotics and Energy. The details can come later.SuperSonicSound said:Alternatively stark walks into his lab and then walks out with an Arc reactor design.

His small design works to power the iron man suit there is absolutely no bloody reason that can't be used for power generation in exactly the same manner you don't need to scale it up at all you just build hundreds of the bloody things and run them in parallel as I said previously.
No one is going to give stark shit if he comes out of this with a massive 'win' in terms of future projection for money making and it means that the weapons division can be put on hold with out it crashing the stock value because investors will have to consider the actual potential value of something that can under cut the entire rest of the energy market trivially which means billions of dollars in terms of potential revenue.
We can build the Iron Man suit afterwards. No one is saying we shouldn't. And we can't attack Obi without a reason. He's one of Tony's oldest friends and one of his most trusted advisors.Mochinator said:[X] Hide out in your Garage : Right now, what you really need is a little peace and quiet and some time alone with your gadgets and tools, not people yammering at you over your miraculous survival. You have enough shit to deal with.
This, because i came here to play Ironman Stark, not business mogul Stark. I want us ready to launch a replusor beam into the face of Obi, since he might go crazy if we start investigating the whole mess too soon. Remember, Obi won't be happy to be found out, hence it be good to have some protection before running around investigating stuff.

Which we can do later.SuperSonicSound said:The current arc reactor he has is a temporary and shitty design built a cave and hand crafted.
He needs to design a mass producible variant and the accompanying plant equipment for it what he has is a working prototype that's not really 'good' enough.
Plus there is more that Stark can work in his lab and I expect Roarian to give us nice and juicy options to work from.

Indeed Stark is a showman, no one expects him to do anything quietly. I'd like stark to carry out an investigation on the down low once he's had time to work with Jarvis on something useful towards that end.Antumbra said:Who? Who will start preparing defences? Who will expect Tony Stark to do anything at all?
Planning? The most complicated things Tony Stark plans involve expensive alcohol, expensive women and expensive cars.
The evidence leading to Obadiah is gone it was gone almost before it appeared - and we pretty much saw to the rest of it. Running around making loud noises - that is what makes them ask what we are planning. That is what initiates the backup plan to remove Stark.
And the company is going to be far less inclined to oust him for taking a week of doctor-mandated recovery, than if he calls a press conference and starts being dramatic with a cheeseburger.
He doesn't even know who the real enemy is yet.
Well the Board of Directors for one thing. They may think him a drunk, but they know he's also a genius. And from a meta perspective SHIELD is less likely to be worried if we declare to be stopping weapons production temporarily then if we vanish.Antumbra said:Who? Who will start preparing defences?

Why will they do that? They only do it in movie verse because he was shutting down the weapons division, we aren't doing that yet. This is literally what does stark do as the first thing when he gets back home.Tylonius said:
Apparently i didn't write clearly enough.. What i meant was that by investigating we might gather Obi's attention, and to protect his secrets he might kill us, as such have something like the Ironman suit as a self-defence / highly advance prosthetic to protect us would be useful.Tylonius said:We already know the Arc reactor works.

Nope, it's a highly advanced Prosthetic, the fact that it can shoot lasers and micro missiles is just a coincidence.Mgunh1 said:"So what are you working on now, Stark?"
"Well, ever since Iraq, I've been thinking. None of it would have happened if I had some proper body armour. So I figured I'd make some."
"So, you went and made a powered armoured suit, with lasers and micro missiles that can fly?!"
"Yeah." Shrug, "Body armour."
Yep. Tony Stark channels Cave Johnson. This'll go well![]()
