Pick n' Mix: 2 Pence Ideas and Thoughts

[Croft]

While I recover from wheelbarrowing a literal tonne of mulch down 1/3rd of an acre garden, my mind has been free to wander over the many aspects of Disco lore accumulating in this rather disjointed list, enjoy!

1. Why did Gallia attempt to invade an already heavily entrenched Bretonia rather than an over-extended Kusari? Not only would they have severed the Emperor's control but also deny a large portion of H-Fuel supplies to Bretonia and Liberty.

2. If Bretonia is so heavily outmatched and down on resources, why are they not importing black market weapons to bolster their armouries?

3. How does Liberty get the resources to build it's fleet? Rheinland chose the mining area, Kusari took the Fuel, Liberty chose habitable planets and Bretonia got the dregs, yet Liberty is supposedly has the largest fleet, barring Gallia. Do they import everything?

4. Why are Rheinland built Cerberus turrets named after a Greek mythological creature?

5. Why are they called Razor's and not Cannonades?

6. Do tradelanes need refueling?

7. If MOX is stored within containers in solid pellet form, why does it degrade?

8. Does anyone actually trade Oxygen or Water?

9. If Gallia is low on resources, why does it sell so many kinds of ores?

10. Why do Research bases sell lasers and not blueprints or data?

11. If shipyards produce ships, why don't they sell export models as a tradeable commodity?

12. When Nomads reach into people's minds do they get songs stuck in their, what I will loosely call a head? And what happens if the Mindshare gets it? Would all the Nomads be singing Bohemian Rapsody?

13. If credits and shipyards are all thats required, why doesn't Kishiro/Samura/BMM/DSE have private militaries to protect their assets?

14, Who made the codename weapons and why are they so utterly useless at keeping track of them?

15. Why aren't Furs sold for their highest price on New Berlin?

16. Why do the Bundschuh sell fertilisers?

17. If Gallia runs on oil, what kind of life exists on their planets?

18. Why is the Core named so? Aren't military companies known as Corps?

19. If the Daam K'vosh were so advanced, why was the Proteus Tome written on parchment?

5. Why are they called Razor's and not Cannonades?

These are the questions we should be asking

[Pavel]

2. probably they get lots of hardware from Liberty now, of much better, military-grade quality
3. From Rheinland through imports
4. idk
6. this is a restricted Ageira info
7. half-time; radioactive elements constantly "die"
8. if you count POB supply grinding as trading...
11. nice idea
13. I bet they do - look up for ALG for example
14. digital anvil
15. would make sense, but trade balance
16. because their main base is close to a Daumann planet which produces fertilizers - they steal some shipments
17. the kind with severe lack of democracy [:
18. core doesn't make much sense in lore
19. again, digital anvil

14, Who made the codename weapons and why are they so utterly useless at keeping track of them?

Well, in Singleplayer, you could salvage wrecks only once.

For number 14.

Dunno the answer, but it would really be interesting to see some backround RP being built around the existence of codenames. Maybe have the backround to each specific one match the backround of the ship which is salvaged from. (Eg. If you salvage ONYX off the S-13 Wraiths they must be some super mumbo jumbo secret Rheinland experiment thingy.)

Dunno. xd

I guess that planets are the most resource-rich assets a faction can have.

Nah, by the lore Liberty doesn't have many own resources, it needs to import those

[Haste]

Liberty is supposedly Sirius' financial hub. So it's got a huge tertiary sector rather than industry that in turn made the House wealthy enough to buy everything they need(ed) to build a bigass fleet. Something like that.

I thought as much but it seems a stretch at the current point in time, Bretonia under siege, Kusari a Gallic puppet and only recently had the war with Rheinland stopped. Perhaps a resource crisis should take place?

H-fuel embargo, ordered by the Emperor (king?) of Gallia
