Did you see my proposal to just say it was destroyed at the dissolution of the RDP?

The international travel part? I just wasn't used to that part of RP and despised it, thoroughly.
Yeah, I did, and it would make sense.
From my understanding of the Red Dragon, it is actually a sub orbital vehicle that can piggy back things into space. I never really realized that lerasi was gonna put the bugger in space. So, seeing as it wasn't built for the velocities of staying out of atmosphere, and doesn't have the engine or maneuvering capacity to maintain orbit due to the fact it is just a big, fast, brick means that it would inevitably fall into the atmosphere at ludicrous speeds that would cause it to fall apart like onions.

Great. You have no IC reason to hate me, because it was either A) non-existent or B) destroyed before I started RPing. Which version of the story would you prefer?

Ah, I wish I knew more about the original design a month ago. When I first heard of it, I just saw the Redevelopment post and thought I could do science with it. The ISS exists, so why can’t the RDSS exist? was my flawed logic.

If we do a different RP together, you can just telegram me (or even contact me via Discord). My other RPs have included a bit a behind the scenes OOC planning/“what do you think of this?” When I asked, “Have you ever been to an international marina” and you didn’t respond, I incorrectly assumed that meant, “Of course.” because

Answering my OOC question would have made me change the approach. As long as you have a specific reason, you can always say you don’t like what I wrote. And I will edit it or at least clarify it.

HEY WHO STOLE MY DELIVERY!?!?!?

<throttles La Xinga till he gives it back>

After a lot of intense environmental research to make sure rocket launches would have as little impact on the environment as possible - and how to reverse that damage, the first launch preparation is started.

The launchpads that had been constructed within Brethren's land were finally being put to use, for the movement into space. Land on this planet was occupied, and the people of Golbad must claim their land elsewhere. So, they would shoot for the stars.

This first rocket was simply a testbed, aimed to fly out to sea and then come back down, hopefully in one piece. It was designed to hit a max altitude of 18,000 feet, then deploy drag chutes at 10,000 feet, and finally deploy full chutes at 3,000 feet.

The entire flight of the rocket would be tracked by a mix of ground based radar stations at the launch site, and a locator beacon on the rocket, and the moment it hit 9,000 feet, a boat with a crane on its side would be sent out to recover the rocket.

On board this vehicle, were several instruments. A gyroscope to track vibrations, a thermometer to check temperatures, accelerometer to check speed variations, a barometer to calculate different pressures, and finally a laser measurement device to calculate deflection of the thruster nozzle. This is all to be used in order to construct a first stage solid fuel rocket booster.

Also clean up operations were brought under way immediately, the water in the area being filtered to make sure as little contaminants got into it, the air around the launch pads being filtered through large carbon scrubbers, and so on.

Is this still a possibility?

This information is much appreciated. The main way the project will be organized is as follows:
The nation of Golbad will be creating a large, highly modernized shipbuilding yard, that should allow for a massive drop in production prices.
The nations that assist in its creation will for the first 20 years of production, receive 25% of profits, and will have a 30-50% discount on all future ships produced by the shipyard depending on tonnage.
We hope this answers your questions. For now, it is only a source of funding, and the material resources that are needed. Requests for these have already been sent out however, and depending on those responses the project will either go ahead or be held back.

Golbadian ministry of foreign affairs.

Anyways,
The COIA sends the most polite letter they could muster to Osterreich und ungarn's War Ministry, which goes along the lines of this:

Dear Sir Eugen Rangel, Minister of War

We humble servants of our glorious republic are in need of modernization. The design philosophies of some of our combat vehicles are designed for warfare that hasn't resurfaced since the end of the 20th century. We humbly request the updating of our main battle tanks to be replaced with the Donnerschlag tank. The current model of Heavy tank in service is also in need of replacement, and for such a task we would like the acquisition of the schematics for the Reaper chassis and the rights for it and the Donnerschalng's production.

Furthermore, the COIA navy is also in need of refit. The Kaiser class dreadnaught was built yet again for a century past, and serves no more than to be a symbol. It has been determined that the best course of action would be to then transform it into a heavily armored carrier. Where as the refit of the Kaiser class dreadnaught into an aircraft carrier can be carried out by current ship yards, we wish to acquire 112 Nueport class corvettes and 42 Hoffman class destroyers. While the Kaiser class and Archer class are the only ships that will see their designs changed or otherwise stripped down, it has been determined that the specific ships requested would best serve the navy in terms of modernization.

In addition to these ambitious requests, the purchase/production of 150 Wildschwein, 300 Piranha, and 300 Maultier aircraft is requested. In addition to this, I would like to ask for the re-assignment, purchase, or production of 500 Jagdhund fighters, and the method of which these are procured is entirely left to you.

For otherwise more widespread changes, we would like the purchase of advanced radar, range finding, and other sensory equipment to modernize current warships of the fleet and men of the line. The addition of such would improve the ability to engage and destroy targets at sea, and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of bombings and artillery on land.

The COIA is ready and willing to pay for any of the requested changes.

Sincerely,
Grand Admiral Adams of the COIA

Oh yeah also the HARC can't be hypersonic according to Charity because of the fact they can't be shot down. If you have quarrels with this take it up with him, not I.
Also, I have no braincells left.

The Ministry sends a response

To: The COIA of the Autonomous Federal State of the Death Syndicate

As you all have been loyal patriots, not just to the Republic, but to the Nation as a whole, The War Ministry and both of the respective Army and Airforce Departments of Requisition and Logistics will grant you all requested aircraft and land vehicles from the current Federal Stockpile. However, the license cannot be granted as it is a maintained contractual relationship with adherent corporations that these licenses remain Federal.

Concerning the requested Naval Assets, we cannot currently grant them outright at this time due to our own desire to expand the Navy, however various shipyard and construction corporations can and will be asked to start constructing these ships for your own navy, all of which will come out of the Federal Reserve, so don’t worry about your State needing to pay.

Thank you for your Continued Loyalty, and may God bless both your syndicate and the Union.

Signed, Eugen Rangel
