In such fantasy settings, Ethno-states are incredibly common, with diversity often being limited to those species or races that share an alliance. Also there are often species or even entire groups of species that are not welcome any where because they are incredibly violent due to inherent...

Except we recently found some secret tunnels under one of the schools that were involved in that.

Hypocrisy is basically the entire point of the UN.

Not this again. PPCs, mech flamers, and plasma cannons/riffles all can be described as plasma weapons. Technically you can also call a vehicle flamer a plasma weapon too, because fire is plasma formed by a combustion process. Plasma riffles and plasma cannons from battletech are not what any...

They will do anything to avoid a man who would hold them accountable for their actions.

I'd peg it at 9 tons, 5 point clustered damage with 6 clusters, 24 heat. That would make for some absolutely terrifying light mechs. That would fit with the EA havign Pulse cannons that are equivalent to clan PPC and ER-PPC with 8 and 12 heat respectively.

Maybe the energy weapon equivalent to an RAC/5, with PPC ranges? The big issue for them would be heat. Even if EA pulse cannons have better heat efficiency than PPCs, somewhere in the range of 18 to 30 heat for each of them.

I typically stat out rotary/gatling ppcs as the energy equivalent to an SRM-6, though since the EA pulse riffles are more avanced than PPCs, maybe closer to rotary light ppcs.

The biggest misconception about war crimes is that they are crimes. They cannot be crimes, because crime is a matter of law and war is above the law. The law is written by the victor. War crimes are actually a framework do describe the intersection of three things: Military discipline...

Passively powered devices need to be low power, and due to the physics of how light works, that means any passive RF device needs to big enough to be visible. The smallest implantable chips I can find are 1/4 inch long. The blue tooth and radio stuff is controlled opposition, stuff propped up...

The war likely did not end in an unconditional surrender, instead a ceasefire and negotiating terms of peace. Atlas would have found disbanding their military unacceptable, and trying to force it would mean restarting the war. Instead, lets say Atlas accepted terms that made them limit the...

Not really, they often had to make due with impurities that we don't have in our food. Bread infamously was contaminated with a weed that caused upset stomach, people couldn't completely eliminate that weed from wheat fields until synthetic pesticides. They also ate a lot of expired food because...

Yeah, this is why to get a true comparisson you need to compare their performance and suitability to helicopters.

They were also used to support a myth that teaching abstinence in schools does not work as a sex ed policy.

They would refer to species that are in the society by their species name individually (or a species specific nickname) or as citizens collectively. Outsiders would be called aliens.

Its also constantly judge outside its niche. The A-10 is not a strike fighter and should not be judged as such. It is a gunship, half of its competition are helicopters. It is designed to fight while flying in the tree tops with squirrels jumping onto its wings, yet for some reason people always...

There are multiple variants of the IQ test. The culture invariant IQ test is the most robust, which is why I named it specifically, but it is more common to use variants that are dependent on culture and education level because those are easier to administer. This is a misunderstanding that is...

The cultural invariant IQ test is the best measurement of overall intelligence we have. If you want to say there is a better measurement, at least name it if you can't prove it.

There are two huge heresies that the Catholics were guilty of that made a reformation inevitable. The most egregious is that the churches were accepting money in return from prayers. This is an act that literally had Jesus Christ chasing people around with a whip. The other major heresy is the...

Yeah, the urban mech is a lot closer to a tank in construction compared to other mechs. Its speciallization also very good at contrasting the differences in handling and doctrine between tanks and mechs.
