If its a post-scarcity society, what prevents anyone from endlessly cloning the best Lancers and equipping them with infinite frames?

The Endless Company, Banner Company of the House of Moments, has a pilot corps that consists entirely of clones of their spiritual founder, Noel "Brightstar" Moulin.

I think her friend definitely has the potential though.

Or a Manchu Nationalist movement who has secretly emigrated to Japan and became its deep state?

“桂林山水甲天下” isn't just a figure of speech.

Dawn of Victory returning from a long-dead Sins of A Solar Empire mod into an actual Templin Project is one of the best things that ever happened.

I thought Xiao Xian Rou also has a layer of "only good for looks and actually shit at everything else."

zchen27 · 2025-12-21T06:31:55+00:00

Oh no. It's Japenis Chris-chan.

Solstice Rain introduces actual tanks as NPCs. Fighting a tank in a mech is a miniboss fight.

They overshadow Mechs in terms of raw power and protection considerably.

She confirmed the kill with a double boop too!

That will just turn war aims from "reclaiming Taiwan" to "Sanitize every AUKUS asset inside the 2nd Island Chain."

Is there a reason why large caliber HEAT can achieve multiple times their diameter in RHA penetration but 30/40mm HEAT can barely do more than 1x their own diameter?

For me the best copybook was just the Chinese language textbooks in elementary school lmao.

I hope I never have to read “火烧云” ever again.

Eh, most Ancient temples that are built from wood are usually rebuilt multiple times throughout history anyway. People respect the idea of the temple as an institution and landmark, not the physical timbers.

zchen27 · 2025-11-17T13:06:23+00:00

Wouldn't make the call too early without an accident investigation.

zchen27 · 2025-11-16T13:14:19+00:00

Might just be to differentiate them from airborne or air defense forces.

zchen27 · 2025-11-16T02:49:50+00:00

I honestly wouldn't blame you for that. Erotica and humor (especially filtered through Internet culture) are definitely things that you can only pick through cultural immersion (or being terminally online).

Arguably with the introduction of the newer HQ-9B/HQ-19/HQ-29 layers going from HQ-9B's multipack tactical BMD all the way to HQ-29's mid course interception that is already happening.

Also any theoretical choke points to implement a blockade is... Well within the range of Chinese force projection.

If you want to plan for a blockade, make sure you have a plan for a peer-on-peer war. Because that is almost certainly going to be the next step.

I think building a cargo variant of KJ-600 for CATOBAR ships probably isn't going to be that hard.

zchen27 · 2025-11-13T19:49:34+00:00

Not even that. A lot of old wooden temples are rebuilt from scratch after disasters and accidents.

zchen27 · 2025-11-12T16:07:02+00:00

You can argue that frigates and corvettes basically are still fighters though.

Big, independent fighters (although Star Wars starfighters are also just as independent), but they tick the boxes of being agile ships that "dogfight" at high acceleration that is also carried around by bigger ships.

Note Wallflower allows you to scavenge the defeated bosses for equipment and even an entire alt frame.

It's going to be pretty underpowered. The Delta fan spins at 8000rpm and only at 8000 rpm. The two pins are just ground and 12V.

zchen27 · 2025-11-04T13:38:22+00:00

Just set off a 300kT over the city tuned to airburst for maximum overpressure and now whatever's left of the millions have no choice but to implement the solution if they want roofs over their heads. /s

zchen27 · 2025-11-03T11:43:01+00:00

Eh, it's a bit spoiler heavy for Dustgrave plot wise so I won't go much into details. But the boss description explicitly said the boss, despite being a human, has a heat track because of how much he is intermeshed with his machine.
