I'm afraid not, you can only pick one thing though. However if you want to increase your odds of success omakes and fan art are encouraged.

Alright then the plan stays the same. I am at work so can't make anything for omakes and I can't draw for shit so it is up to the rest of you to make some. For the record if I do post any pictures unless I say that I made it the art was made by someone else so no bonuses from that.

Actually I do have one thing that I did in fact make the picture used in my profile is one I made. So that works as either a personal insignia or as a squadron symbol. For anyone to use not just our character.

could you do a pair of raven's wings bracketing a spear? if we have the call sign Valkyrie it would work.

Can't use it for anything but I will give you a +10 to a roll of your choice.

Now is also probably a good time to mention that I'm going to take Sunday off to avoid burning out.

@manofjay can we use both military actions on fleet reorganization and tactics?


Again we haven't earned a new call sign yet. And Valkyrie is a very bad one because like I said it means death to our allies. Because a Valkyrie is someone who carries the honored dead away. In the context we're not taking other side pilots we would be taking our own so it doesn't work. In fact it would be extremely insensitive and completely misreading her views.

Except a call sign isn't like being an ace you don't need to earn it rather it is simply something your squad mates/superiors for numerous reasons assign to you. For example in the USN the instructors come up with a call sign for aviators when they graduate based upon their performances for the lucky few, or a lot of other reason that often produce call signs that have little bearing on the individual in question.

Also a Valkyrie from my recollection is the "chooser of the slain" everything else is window dressing. So it makes sense for someone who warned "Pixie" saving him in the combat exercise, and resulting in a turkey shoot despite zero experience combat experience much less piloting a mobile suit meaning I can see the other two members of the squad besides "Pixie" not objecting to it, but realistically it is something based upon "Pixie" his interaction with Alexandra that he'd pick simply from her somewhat negative reaction distinguishing it from all the other possibilities.

Alternatively it can be seen as a sign of respect that an ace is actually picking Alexandra a call sign based upon something she actually did instead of doing the more cliche hazing of the newbie by simply giving her a bad call sign.

It is a call sign not a moniker, so anything better than nugget should be okay. Maybe fox or something

No a call sign is a very big deal. And nugget is simply a term for rookie pilots it is not a call sign at all it us a description. When a call sign is chosen/given by the other pilots it is a big event. It becomes a intrical part of the pilot.

No but that's mainly because I am not good at drawing anything. The picture I made was extremely difficult to do the basics of. I could maybe try but don't expect anything great.

And I don't really like Valkyrie because it doesn't fit us. If we went around and unfortunately got some of our teammates killed then it would actually fit a bit more.
 
Blatantly irresponsible wild guessing. :V
  • Aliens shows up on turn 4 with overwhelming force. Gihren fed them space rocks filled with nukes.
  • Casval still wants vengeance and remains guilt stricken, since Zeon blow up Char Aznable instead of him.
  • We will mass produce guncannon since the war started before Gundam is completed.
  • Side 7 bites the dust.
  • We are not going to design a ship that is both tall and wide, aka less white base more ship from 00. Ship with legs get out. :V

best to skip right to the Volga if we can for the hanger capacity.
 
[X] Sorry Alex you're a Valkyrie not a Guardian Angel.
-[X] Rebuilding the Government -Well both the highest and lowest of the government remain mostly unaffected by the purge, there are a lot of middle positions that need filling, new laws to write, and old ones to fix. (DC varies)
--[X] What standards and laws should the new Federation Government be held to. (write in)
---[X] The Government should obey the established international law on topics like taking care of its citizens, protecting environment, and developing resources in a controlled manner. The Federation Military should be supervised by the civilian government unless a war breaks out. The citizens will vote for government leaders but the government civil servants will remain non-partisan and requires exams.
-[X] Fix "red tape"- Overhauling the bureaucratic infrastructure of the federation is going to be a challenge to say the least. (DC Very Hard)
-[X] Reorganize Fleet tactics- The exercise was a wake up call, the fleet needs a major overhaul. (DC Hard to Very Hard)
-[X] Design new ship- The Magellan-class is showing it's age and needs replacing (will lead to mini vote)
-[X] Rebuild the Spy Core - It is easy to find good spies. It is much harder to find loyal ones. (DC??)
-[X] Project RX - The second prototypes are entering their final test phases. Mass production can begin soon. (No DC advances Project RX)
-[X] Study the computers (DC??)
--[X] Both Teams
-[X] No
-[X] Train Melee
-[X] "Pixie" took Alex's complaints about being called "Nugget" to heart, and proposed new ones until he got an even stronger reaction out of Alex with "Valkyrie" who proceeded to make it permanent by taking issue with it.

Well the moratorium is over so I'll cast my vote before I head to bed. Feel free to make suggestions for change whenever though.

As before, full suite of reform and getting new fleet tactics. Refit the Zudan into something more stable but leave Zaku I as is.
 
[X] Plan Revamp Revamp

Political Actions (Pick up to 2)

Military Actions (pick up to 2)

-[X] Design new ship- (will lead to mini vote)

"Diplomacy" Actions (pick up to one)
-[X] Rebuild the Spy Core - (DC??)

Research Actions (Pick up to 1)
-[X] Project RX- (No DC advances Project RX)

Alien Ship Actions (pick one)
-[X] Study the generators (DC??) at 10%
--[X] Add Zeon team

Special Actions (must pick one and only one)
The Zudah is an excellent but problematic MS design, Anaheim has suggested we refit it to a safer, more practical design, along with improving the Zaku 1. (This will lead to a mini vote)
[X] Yes

Personal Actions (pick one)
-[X] Try to get to get to know them better
--[X] Roy Fokker

And this is a way to see my reasoning for the actions taken. Also I am omitted any call sign because if we really are going to come up with a new one then it should be a separate vote and not tied to a plan like this.

Hey so I am working on the Valkyrie emblem. It is three parts the shield, the wings, and spear head. I need colors you would like to see on them. Keep it simple like no more than three.
 
Not to sound nitpicky, but Anaheim doesn't exist at this point in time. :)

Nor would it canonically exist for another year or so, seeing that it was created by a merger of Zimmad and Zeonic (and possibly MIP), we've seen no indication of Gihren wanting to do such a reorganization yet and there's no way in hell he'd let the Federation exercise that kind of authority over the Principality's defense contractors.

Not so. While Anaheim acquired Zeon's Mobile Suit developers after the end of the war, they existed before then as an independent corporate entity, and according to various sources were already in the business of MS design during the One Year War.
 
Anaheim is one of those "they totally existed in OYW and the only reason they weren't mentioned is because the producer didn't thought of it at the time." :V A lot of extend world building came years later so there will be a lot of piggy back add-ons.

Like the beam rifle wielding MS-05 or the GM with shoulder mounted shields. (No I do not acknowledge thunder bolt as part of the main UC timeline, wild in universe rumors at worst and supplementary at most.)

:p Aliens call it a gun destroyer so i'm on the alien's side. :p (Carriers should not have such big gun, yes i said it.:V )

BTW if someone proposed to have an AI idol, shoot them. Actually, just shoot anyone proposing to develop AI. Mecha with AI is just asking for trouble. Not to mention "AI" built out of people.

I mean you say that, but the only AI the Federation ever made (in a sidestory) worked out great. It was questionably ethical maybe, but it literally never backfired and had amazing performance. It should be an option to keep in mind.
