Can there really be 600 000 Mindy IVs in there? I thought the Mindy IV was still kind of uncommon.

As for the quanity of Mindy IVs, it may just be my perception. I came to the site when the Mindy IV was replacing the old model, so I'm under the impression that the Mindy IV is the primary SAoY power armor.

Also, no Izanagi-class dreadnoughts have been built yet, so, I imagine that the first one would receive a fresh and brand-new inventory.

It has also been under construction since the 2nd Mish war IIRC. The M2-2D may be the most common reserve on board the ship while the space Daisy might be used for interior defense. A little diversity might go a long way strategically. Of course I seriously doubt there will be any need for reserve PA on a ship like this.
 
Oh my god I didn't realise there were 600,000 Mindies in there. That's the equivalent of 30 Rikugun Legions :0

I'd also like to say if this got through it'd be a potentially great boon to myself and @paladinrpg's plots.

It would also be a great trial run for the class given total planetary capture is too large for a single conventional battleship (Sharie) to undertake but obviously it doesn't make sense to dispatch a large fleet to field enough infantry for a prolonged assault campaign when the space element is unknown.

Otherwise you'd be tying up a force like the 1XF much like Ame is doing but for a extended time where they could be better used and dispersed. Roll it all into one ship and have ten escorts plus a few landing craft and everything's sorted, there's no need to use several battleships when you can use one.

In addition, we're going to be coming up across all manner of tech old and new, plus some NMX salvage, which this ship was designed for. It'd definitely put the class through its paces as a trial before more were rolled out through a huge range of hostile tech.

I think I'll take the non-FM review for this. Alternatively, @Wes may want to review this himself on account of this being such a... Potent element of the setting.

You need text after major headers/ before images/bullets/charts/etc. You do this in History and Background and Appearance and in these two instances:
NOTES:
Vehicle Complement
TEXT
Power Armor

Ship Systems
TEXT
Armored Hull and Hull Integrated Systems

It is hangar not hanger

Talking about glassing a planet easily is bombastic language and not a neutral point of view

This submission is not FM approved @Wes

I will finish this: asap
 
FM approved, but the article's OOC notes need to say that Khasidel was the original creator and designer, and also they need Adam Kopala's art credits.

I have accomplished these things.
 
I'm fairly sure you're allowed to make a WIP version with your proposed edits to submit, not to be rude but no one else has brought it up and many people have said in the history of the world "If you want something done do it yourself"
 
I’m not sure if @Ametheliana just didn’t read the sub articles or if she thougjt the fire rates were fine. Either is a problem.

She also let the ship have weapons far in excess of weapons limitations, which she absolutely should not have done.
