A bit shorter than the others, as I predicted, but I don't think I could have padded it out much more without compromising the story. Enjoy.

10/10, laughed my ass off. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks buddy.
IMO your best work yet.

This might be just nitpicking, but I think 'butt' or something would fit the atmosphere of the story better than 'ass'.

>>187003164
It's actually pretty hard coming up with ones that aren't just the exact same thing.
>>187003554
I didn't want to try and give the player character too much direct characterization, otherwise it turns them from "Blaze" to my own character.
>>187003838
Gee thanks.
>>187004483
Yeah, I really really should do more editing. It's probably my biggest weakness. These are written 100% stream of conscience as the words pop into my head, and I throw them up as soon as I finish.
>>187004528
I think I started off using words like "butt, rear" etc, and then switched to more impolite words as the action got more inappropriate.

>>187004886
That's a good point. In any case, excellent work. It gave me the beetus.

I think slycooper wrote a better fic. He really nailed the experience of being a mercenary pilot. And the interpersonal struggles one must face while engaging in high intensity aerial combat.

>187007321
Ok sly

I do wonder if the ruins of Megalith are going to be making an apperance or mention in AC7 since the Princess was mentioning Oseans attacking indiscriminately, not realising that her own country almost bombed the Usean continent as revenge, as well as attack civilians seen in one mission. There's so many oppertunities for references that it would be hard to count. Plus it would be nice to hear what happened to ISAF if that wasn't covered already.

>it's more socially acceptable to admit you like skycooper's shitty teentier fanfic than to admit you like something with sex in it.

>>187008058

>>187011897
the S/MTD is a sign of treachery at this point and a fucking cool sign at that
>inb4 S/MTD is canon plane

Why Huxian isn't Mead, in three main points:
1. Mead has a brace on her right leg, which would make her unable to fly
2. We never see her in a flightsuit, only doing mechanic stuff.
3. Why would Mug-dude be explaining to Mead the story of Trigger being foolish and trying to help his allies reach safety, if she was there?

>>187009606

Most of those are fair, but considering how some people flew shit in the world wars a brace is not really a reason not to fly if she really wanted or had to

>>187013429

I was thinking human-sized capsule, carriable on a hardpoint or in a slot where the copilot would be.
My idea involves a psychic pushing the aircraft around and slowing down incoming projectiles. Giving further details would be quite rambly.

>>187013661

>>187013834
That or something TLS or even Macross pack sized if you want the experimental look is what I would go for for a shield. No clue on the spoiler

>>187014196
The spoiler is specific to the setting I'm working on, but it gives an idea of the system's size. It's also the way I explain those feature without ripping off the Armored Core in-universe "scientific" explanations or the GN particles from Gundam 00.

>>187017636
What's so bad about it?

What sort of relationship do you guys think Cipher and Pixy had? Do you think they were close friends? Maybe friendly rivals? I always thought it was an uneasy friendship, as in they were amiable enough toward each other, but they were both extremely confident in their abilities and both men believed they were the better of the two, and generally tried not to get in each other's way when on the ground, in the downtime between missions.

>>187019090
write a fanfic about it, lel.

I wonder if ego and talent at the amateur level are diametrically opposed. On one hand we have sly who has a massive ego and little talent. On the other we have fapfic anon who doesn't even namefag and writes good.

yeah, grindcore is extremely angsty. its an offshoot of extreme metal mixed with metalcore. that band I linked is probably the most listenable grindcore band out there.

I also listen to drone and ambient stuff but I recognize it 100% isn't for everyone. I just care a lot about this general and value people's opinions here more than the average place on 4chan, I guess.

The eclipse reminded me of this album, though. I think you'll like it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCu2RVCpges

I don't think that's right at all. The earliest MiG-21s had 2x 30mm guns, but for most of its life it either had 1x 30mm gun, a single 23mm gunpod, or a single 23mm internal gun

http://uboat.net/men/schnee.htm

>>187034195
Are you perhaps thinking of the MiG-17 or 19? The MiG-17 had 2x 23mm guns and 1x 37mm gun, while the MiG-19 had 3x 30mm guns.

Ya but the burst mass is what matters, the total of the 20mm all firing at once is equivalent to 52.5 ounces whilst the 7.62 would only be 5.2 ounces per one round burst. So it comes down to speed and less recoil being the 7.62 whilst the 20mm focusing on immediate firepower to destroy anything the rounds hit.

That's Lafiel from the Crest of the Stars series in a (in-progress) Muv Luv suit from the latest setting supplement. For some reason the Muv Luv /a/ threads often had Crest of the Stars fans around. Only one family has those ears, btw.

Crest of the Stars and Banner of the Stars (Seikai no Monshou/Senki) are a series of space opera novels published from 1999 to 2013. No idea if it's still ongoing, but novel translation died when Tokyopop went under. At least the three Crest novels are available. I would link the english trailer to the (dated, tbqh) anime but it really doesn't do it justice.
Lafiel is one of the protagonists, the princess to the Abh empire, an interstellar empire ruled by transhumans, the namesake Abh. The ears are the distinguishing feature of the Abriel family.
I think the crossover between Seikai and ML is that one of the main characters in Muv Luv had it's speech patterned after Lafiel's.

>>187059141
It's mostly about the relationship between Jinto, a Lander (normal human) elevated to nobility when his father surrendered his colony in exchange of remaining the governor, and Lafiel, an Abh, as he learns about the Abh and the rest of the setting. There's some politicking and a hefty amount of space battles, though those mostly pick up during the Banner arc, since that's when the Abh decide to go into all out war.
I'll admit it's been a long time and I only remember the exact plot for a few of the volumes.

>>187060856
If you do go ahead with the series, I'd recommend watching the anime first (Crest > Banner > Banner II > Banner III) mostly because the artstyle isn't that good. The more recent manga is currently covering the Crest novels and has great art and more fleshed out characters, so going from that art to the anime will be jarring at best.
Some warnings: avoid the first manga, it makes the anime art look like a masterpiece and skips a lot of things. The dub for the anime isn't very good imho, so I'd recommend watching it subbed instead.

>>187061498
I have my doubts that I'll get to it in the near future but maybe, mostly because I feel I should probably finally give Yukikaze another chance to see if Fukai is less of an emo than I remember. I'll keep it in mind regardless

The real question is if it surpasses SDF amd Initial D levels of quality though

Early on the artstyle has weirdly stylized heads before it transitions towards a more standard early 2000 style in the Banner series. The animation is however quite consistent and there are no major moments where things were off-model that I remember.
Crest and Banner are 13 episodes each, Banner II is 10 episodes long and Banner III is a two part OVA. There's also Birth, a shorter prequel OVA.
>Yukikaze
I've got to rewatch that one too.

How long a runway do you reckon the Arsenal Bird needs?

>>187071169
The wings are massive and it's going fairly slow by the looks of it so lenghtwise probably no more than any other big plane, two or three kilometers at worst, going off modern runways. The width however, no clue because it is pretty damn wide

>>187071169
OSEA likes their SSTO's it's also white like the arkbird. it's probably SSTO.

>>187071370
But it's not in space...

>>187071479
neither was the arkbird when it was a boss battle, it was clearly able to be sub orbital and if anything arsenal probably used the same runway.

>>187071370
Buddy, a giant prop plane isn't going to be anything like an SSTO. That doesn't even make sense.

>>187071370
>>187071610
It has propellers and massive wings. It's clearly atmospheric at least the version we have seen, perhaps there is a space variant guarding the higher up parts of the elevator

>>187071804
neither does a tower that shoots laser beams.

>>187071321
Would being a flying wing decrease the distance because it has more lifting surface than a similar size normal plane?

>>187071169
Not so much how long of a runway, as how wide... It looks like a super scaled up version of NASA's solar plane.

It would make sense if it was a seaplane, but again, it's so damn wide that it seems like it would snap in half if it was side on to a wave, plus there doesn't seem to be any landing gear from the trailer screenshots.

I have an idea of how I'd try to do it, but I don't think the engineering would would out.

>>187073180
There might be enough space in Erusean deserts.

>>187072810
Possibly, the main advantage would probably be weight though, imagine adding a massive tail to it. Look at gliders for some reference proportions.
The main factor here is to assume that it is light enough and that it produces enough lift that it doesn't need a really fast take off speed.

The thick but seemingly flexible wing and prop engines kinda hint at low speed flying

>>187073180
There is either some complex one time launcher that lifts them or the gear and all is well hidden and there are special runways. It's no seaplane like Gleipnir or the airfleet though, the wing probably wouldn't be able to lift off the water and half if not all the engines would be below the waterline anyway.

>>187073416
A desert would be a good place to launch from. Arsenal Bird strikes me as something that seems designed to never have to land, which means nuclear or solar, both of which would give it flight endurance measured in years. It's probably totally unmanned.

>>187073619
I was thinking that if they had a bunch of these aresenal birds, it might behoove them to have some sort of low impulse launch vehicle like an ekranoplan.

>>187073619
>>187073860
Having no gear and being designed to never land seems like a really good way to have a single fault cause the entire thing to just crash into the ground eventually because no one can fix it. The thing would still need maintenance like any other vehicle.

>>187073960
Well yeah, but we are also talking about Strangereal superweapons

But I suspect >>187073416 has a point and it just lands somewhere on a large desert or whatnot with a ton of landing gear stabilising the whole thing

>>187073960
IRL, yes. But this is strangereal. The only way things ever fail is if you shoot it down, or the belkans/resistance sabotage it.

Like for magnetic rails, I mean it would waste tons of energy for contactless launch and recover.

>>187075968
Well from what I gathered Psychics tend to get fucked over a lot anyhow, so this isn't that far off. Still creepy tech

>>187076627
For some explanation, I'm working on two timelines (no parallel world shehanigans, just alternate histories), so they share major bullet points. On the other timeline I'm focusing on the psychics themselves without fucking them over that much (a much more peaceful timeline), but on the other one (continuous wars on Mars and no Earth intervention), it felt appropiate to think about how they could be applied as weapons.
It might be the creepiest set of technologies but I don't think it's the weirdest.

Sounds like a good way to kill 5-6 hours.

>>187081242
What >>187081319 said. There is also manuals floating around.

The general gist though is to connect a GPU or, if the plane has one, to start the APU, so there is power, and then the engines and avionics. Of course modern jets have a billion systems and procedures but I doubt anyone really needs those in detail in a story

But I only fly props so I only know so much about jets. I'm sure Thunder can autism an F4 startup together

You could always just put the excerpt up so people can give input on it

>>187081554
>only 5-6 hours
Being optimistic I see

>>187081242
You don't need to go into detail about that really (something like: "Flight Leader, I have you on my screen. You are cleared for auxiliary runway number two. Don't screw around. We have more hostiles on the way."
"This is Zero-Five-Eight. Roger. Auxiliary number two. Coming straight in." should suffice for those parts.

>>187082351
You mean what a boring one.

>>187081789
To expand on my example, which describes an a two-man Yuktobanian squadron coming back from a sortie touching down on an airbase that's been under incessant attack:
"Watch for the smoke, Flight Leader. We have burning fuel."
"With me, Fifty-nine?" Sobelev called to his wingman.
"Roger, Fifty-eight."
"You're in first. Number two's longer than it looks, but it comes up suddenly behind the trees. Don't flare early. You'll be just fine."
But Sobelev himself was unprepared for the sight of the airfield.
Fuel fires raged, and black smoke rose thickly against the gray sky. Vehicles with warning lights ran along the apron, and planes lifted through what appeared to be great hoops of fire. From several kilometers out, the litter Osean air raids had left behind challenged the pilot's confidence.
"Flight Leader, this is Control. I have you visual." "I'm rolling out. My wingman's coming in first." "Roger. Do you need assistance on the ground?"
"Negative. Not unless we bugger it up."
"Your runway."
The lieutenant, Sobelev's wingman, took his aircraft in cleanly. Sobelev remained surprised that they had made it this far, that they were still alive. For at least one more mission. He came around and followed his wingman in, bouncing on the runway.
"Talk to me, Control. Where am I going?" "Proceed onto taxiway four. Move out. Hard hangars, crescent B."
"Numbers?"
"Just take the first open bay. This is war, my distinguished Comrade Aviator."
Sobelev guided his plane through the trailing smoke and the wreckage of planes that had been caught on the ground. It struck him that all of this was an incredible waste, but now that he was on the ground, he realized that the focus of his life was to get to a latrine.

Not that I mean to tell you how to do yours , but that's how I would handle those scenes, personally..

Why is everyone hating on Thunder? I thought /aceg/ liked him

>>187082659
We like thunder because he's not egotistical enough to get into a huff when people take the piss like this.

>>187082659
The men of /aceg/ shit hard on the people they like. I don't know why, don't ask me.

>>187082910
Because that's how men are. One moment you're bent on punching a dude's face in and the next you're drinking beers with the same guy having a jolly good time.

>>187082587
I'd just like to add that runways are numbered according to the heading they have, so runway 02 is on heading 020. If there is more than one, paralell, you would go with Left and Right so 02 Left for example. Or, if they are different in composition you could have 02 grass and 02 concrete and so on

Can't speak for mil radio phraseology though, but sounds good for prose otherwise

>>187082384
That is a better word, yeah

>>187082659
Just friendly banter

>>187082910
Some men will never actually tell you they like you, you just kind of have to figure it out.

You should see the way Brady and Thunder lay into each other in stream chats. IMO it's pretty harsh but they're two of the closest friends around here.

>>187083289
I ship it.

>>187083289
Usually that's how it goes in America. The two most hostile ones are actually the closest friends.

>>187083289
>>187083840
But why? Like I don't understand that behaviour

>>187084450
You wouldn't understand unless you're a guy.

>>187084450
It's pretty hard to understand it if you haven't experienced it for yourself.
Really, it's mostly a guy thing. Women tend to be genuinely malicious when it comes to displaying open hostility of a similar kind towards someone. (usually other women)

>>187084450
I don't know, that is just how it works. Depends on the country or culture too, sometimes more, sometimes less.

>>187084450
Because it demonstrates that two people are good enough friends that they are allowed certain privileges and liberties with each other that strangers aren't.

What would be offensive if a new acquaintance said it, is not offensive between two friends, because there's the understanding that there's no hard feelings.

This >>187085358

>>187085358
Yeah, hit the nail on the head

So, what do you think about the ongoing SEA games? Do you think Strangereal ever hold similar events?

>>187085358
This, I wouldn't just shit on someone I didn't know.

Fapfic anon here.
Thanks for all the advice, I found a manual, so I should be all set.

>>187086386
What plane?

>>187086452
F-20A

>>187086515
Nice, F-20 doesn't get enough love in AC games.

In vatnik, I guess? I somehow doubt there's scanlation groups for this sort of things.

>>187088034
You would be surprised. I'm pretty sure I saw some translated Yak manuals at some point

>>187088034
Yeah, it's in Cyrillic so I can't read any of it, but it's still cool as fuck though.

The F-15E manual, on the other hand, is good shit so far.

I have a translated Su-27SK manual. It's in spanish, though.

>>187088903
I've picked up a bit of Spanish so I can catch a few words, but not much. Thanks anyway m80.

>>187089029
I could translate or summarise some parts if anyone wants me to. Not the entire thing, though. That would be insanity.

>>187089161
A lot of the pictures in the manual are pure sex though. A ton of cockpit and avionics details.

>>187089161
You wouldn't happen to have one for the spanish 109s?

>>187087307
Holy crap, that's a goldmine! There are manuals for EVERYTHING. Even found a YF-23 manual!

So, is it true that only science nerds with athletic physics are capable of becoming fighter pilots?

Damn, I knew there was a catch

>spam detector acts up

>>187089820
Working from the assumption the HA-1109 and HA-1112 didn't have their own manuals, they would have the same manuals as the Bf 109.
The one on patrulla-azul page is in spanish, but you might be able to find one in english, since the website claims it's a translation of the german manual.

Odd they have a really different engine, but perhaps they got lazy or wired up the Merlin to match the jerry manuals

Nuclear proliferation doesn't exist the same way it does here which allows the setting to have its vast open conflicts. Presumably the money that could be spent on nuclear weapons was spent elsewhere with such exotic devices such as AI appearing in the late 90s. That said, Belka developed nukes but they seem to be a much lower yeild than any of ours.

Put it in the OP

Fapfic anon here.
I wrote out the SFW part of the straight shota story. https://pastebin.com/jqJbbB8i

From here I'm thinking about writing two different stories for the lewds, branching paths from this common start, but let me know what you think of the nonlewds.

I'm not used to writing in first person,
please be gentle.

>>187091956
Y'know I actually might. This is an absolute fucking goldmine.

>>187092294
Yeah, I'd forgotten about it completely. Pretty sure we used it for some airbus simulator once

>>187092046
Looks good so far. Nice work.
