Title: New Country - the Pawns!
Post by: Latrobe on January 17, 2014, 12:14:05 AM
Well... not really a country, but the ability to fly countryless. Nothing, and I mean nothing, sucks more than having tons of planes around but not being able to shoot them because they're on your country. Give us lunatics the ability to fly without any country colors so we can shoot everything!  :D :joystick:


 :cheers:

No country means no strat, no strat means no dar, no airfield, gv base, no cv's, no port = no flying, good luck finding a fight  :joystick:

Not sure what prompted that epiphany, Latrobe, but I'm amused..

Holy crap!!

What field would you take off from? Air Launch at 15k 1 sector from the nearest con.

This could be good stuff!

This idea would have more merit if you had chosen the correct chess piece.  Pawn just does not sem to fit.

Your countryless country should be called the "Queens".

If memory serves, Macross?  Not an anime head, I just love the idea of a flying carrier.  Should've maybe gone with the invisible SHIELD thing from the Avengers.

Always like the idea that Pawns were sort of country less mercenaries who were doomed to always fight for the country with lowest population".......... being switched every #minutes

They should always carry the Pawn icon..... Which would be red or green appropriately......... But would earn double perks............

The cartoon is called Star Blazers in the US.  In Japan its "Space Battleship Yamato".  They made a live action movie of it about 6 years ago...and yes, the ship IS the WWII Yamato rebuilt as a space cruiser.

Lots of pawns in the DA. 

I like the country setup myself.  Two countries would be fine as well.

On the topic of that game though, I noticed the RCL pods just tear those things to pieces.

We already have "Pawns", they are the knits. Always doing the Rooks biding, well until the Rooks take 20% of Bish fields.  :neener:

Truly an interesting idea there.  :aok  That would fix all the complaints about the 12hour rule too!

Wow, I never heard about the movie. I will have to check that out.

The only thing that I would rather see is a USS Enterprise (CVN-7) version. After watching the Battle 360 series the Enterprise was the one ship that lucked-out many times, but always came back and kicked some a$%, very similar to Star Blazers. Even the first Battle 360 episode mentioned how the Enterprise was due in port on the morning of the Pearl Harbor attack and would have surely been hit the hardest, but she was held back by a tropical storm, aka. the divine wind.
