how would you write a convincing story where in a far near-future where everything is advanced while trying to applying real-world logics without making it too nuance?
>>747562613>jammed In the future ammo would be caseless The ammo screen should be like a calculator screen with the little solar panel above. High contrast and high visibility without the need for batteries.
In Star Ocean despite being advanced the tech fails like all the fucking timeI feel like that’s very realistic. Sure we have this billion dollar ship, it might work twice
>>747562821We already tried caseless ammo, it's shit.
>>747562613at least its not like Far Cry 2 where you can barely fire a single magazine before the gun starts degrading
>>747563031Doesn't mean we won't have figured it out in the future
>>747562613It's all robots fighting and talking to each other, and you maybe glimpse one human, who are like elves or fairies.
>>747562821>>747563031GAUSS weapons don't use cased or caseless ammo. They accelerate the projectile through electricity and magnetism. So yes, a fault in the electronics could in fact result in an error in said electronics.
Who designs a gun that can jam but with no way to unjam it in combat
>>747563031The only issue with caseless ammunition is chamber fouling. This could be solved either by using another propellant, or by coating the chamber with something to prevent propellant residues from sticking to it. Neither are particularly far-future technologies.
>>747562613I'm not surprised the Dominion would cut costs when outfitting their soldiers. But I miss the redneckshttps://youtu.be/9AL-kScqdr0
>>747562613Just apply today's oligarchical abuse of the peasant class and apply it to a near future setting. With all of these technical advances over the past 40 years, America still looks like this.
>>747562613Don't you get it? It's satire! Trailer dude was training so hard, the goodest of goods! But in the end his training meant nothing, his gear, despite failing was worth more than his life and he is just meat slurry! Get it?!>>747563031You're right, everyone should be carrying bigger AK cuz it's cheaper.>>747563205Rewatch SC2 cinematics, those guns use cased ammo. Which comes in belts.
>>747563257maybe there's a way to unjam it, but the rookie was too busy shitting his innards out to do it in a timely manner
>>747562613Er, that's awkward
>>747564118I imagined the gun saying that out loud in the cinematic and it gave me a good kek
>>747564097Bigger AKs have more dakka, everyone knows that ya git.
>>747564097it's the fucking dominion, their playable coop faction was based around the fact they used insanely cheap conscription and giving them guns cost more than the soldiers. a core mechanic was sending replacement soldiers to pick up the guns of the guys who just got smoked. on top of that a core unit was a blimp that followed your army around blasting propaganda via loudspeaker.they don't give a fuck about their infantry.
>>747564002Based thank god for cold fusion poster.
>>747562613>Firmware update in the middle of the firefight>Please accept new terms of serviceREEEEEE
>>747565876That's *too* realistic
>>747562613>mutt's Chinesium gun jams 10 seconds into his first battle, then he dies for the DominionHmmmm...
>>747562613They managed to land on a planet that has a breathable, combustible atmosphere. Because they needed to show his face.
>>747562821Caseless is a dead end, and is solving a problem that doesn't currently exist.So caseless gets you some weight savings, but increases mechanical complexity, and likely then pushes you down the path of electrical ignition, which is another dead end from the 80s with the same problem of adding massive mechanical complexity for trivial performance gains. The pulsed power limitations are probably less crippling from the navy's railgun research, but bringing that down to infantry scale is going to be expensive, and again, for what gain? What problem is it solving?Ejecting brass is a huge component of heat removal, and caseless lacks that. It's less critical for riflemen, but for your suppressive elements, it's a non-starter.Defenses to suppress drones are the next major frontier in miltech, re-enabling maneuver warfare. There's several forms that can take, and if you're going the sci-fi route without considering the drone angle, you're not grounding yourself in reality.
>>747567292They also landed in the middle of an oncoming wave because they wanted the D-Day comparison. It's called visual storytelling
>>747563031And the first cars were battery powered too, shortsighted fool
>>747567440They are dogshit the second time around as well.
