/meat/ fucks around and finds out a lot, huh?

>>47931259
Ichorite definitely can contain more conventional “combat drugs” that elevates short-term combat prowess at the cost of long-term health and sanity although I imagine it mostly being used by less regulated units and individuals like bloodthirsty Moleym mercenaries. I imagine the strongest (not necessarily the best) fighters from /vnug/ being basically hooked to their mecha that pumps them full of drugs. They would basically be a force of nature in battle but at the same time most of them would also be too unstable for most duties even in a military. They would basically be shock troops on steroid (literally?) that can punch a hole and wreck havoc against anyone you point them at, but you won’t want them to be near anything you don’t want to destroy. Their on-board AI probably helps control them more but in a way it just trades unstable pilots for potentially unstable AI especially if you suspect they might be plotting something. I think a common space /vnug/ urban legend would be pilots that are basically consumed by their drugs and/or AI that they become some kinda wandering host in space who simply fight anyone in sight
As for psychology I think space /vnug/ people probably lean heavily towards some form of group mentality since every step of their development, from the first Belyms being made to establish colonies in distant worlds, the first generations of Belyms on Despina being raised by an AI designed more for colony administration than raising children, to the hostile environment of Despina encouraging people to cooperate for survival, and the mind-based interplanetary communication and machine control method derived from crystalline vitubium. I feel that more than physical isolation, social isolation like being disconnected from the network or get stranded without AI to keep them company would drive Belyms insane much quicker. That might be why Belyms who have to work alone aside from their AI (like mecha pilots and maybe some sorta outpost maintenance) often grow very attached to their AI as they’ve become their main source of social interaction

Pic related, am retarded.

>>47969798
Is that a deadbeat pilot? heh. Pilots gone berserk are always fun, pushing for ever more power at the cost of your sanity and health is good setup for drama. It a classic in cyberpunk for one, I enjoyed how they did it in Edgerunners. It definitely feels like the relationship between the pilot and its AI is going to tend to the parasocial. Or rather social, depending on the AI's sentience level, AIs being able to also go rogue makes it sound like they're pretty sapient.
I think I have a pretty good idea of how the deadbeat mechs are gonna be now, I'll go for some kind of biomechanical deal, at least for some of them. They'll living creatures that fuse their skeletal system with the pilot's, and I think there'll be that flooded cockpit thing, always thought that was a cool feature.

bump

>>47980257
The pic’s from G Gundam, the person in it basically got assimilated by machine. I feel that might be how /vnug/ pilots who went down the deep end ended up being like. They might be so drugged up that the mecha has become their life support system, and the 24/7 mental connection with the AI probably mean their mind’s completely linked to the on-board AI. As for the AI’s sapience I imagine they’re “human-like” enough that it’s hard to tell if they’re truly sentient or just very good at mimicking sentience. It’s a question that space /vnug/ people try to not think about too hard due to the implications either way. Chances are no AI has “officially” gone rogue and the pilots usually got blamed in their stead

Wonder how the whole /meat/-/unou/ interaction is shown in lore. /unou/ is shaping up to be a fun lore place in world.

>>47984960

>>47984960
Right, getting addicted to drugs you depend on to function in war makes sense, was pretty common with morphine iirc. That would make reintegration of veterans into civilian life more interesting too. That AI setup reminds me of Macross Plus, there's actually this scenario of an AI-assisted mech reading the thoughts of the pilot a bit too smartly and executing an offensive command that is what the pilot wants, but not what he would do. Though in that case it's officially blamed on a bug in the software instead of the pilot or the AI... If they're so effective the people selling and using that tech would have a pretty strong incentive to silence this kind of incident. (Also Macross Plus is pretty great, it does some things with human-AI relations that you might find inspiring, would recommend).

>>47992416
Truth be told I won’t be surprised if militant groups are deliberately encouraging drug usage for shock troops and other high-casualty roles in combat in part because they hope the fighters would die in the line of duty so that they won’t cause troubles after returning to civilian life

>>47994781
>>47992416
If you look into viking berserkers they got shitfaced on a cocktail of booze and drugs before rushing into battle. The drugs made them keep fighting long after they're mortally wounded.

>>47995061
I think it’s a pretty common practice and Vitubia-era /vnug/ also does something like that even if they might not remember that specifically. I do think the AI helps a lot with automating some of the simpler functions and they have enough autonomy to let the mecha fight even after the pilot has died. I guess having the AI go berserk against enemies that have killed the pilot even if it would lead to the unit’s destruction mirrors the berserker practice well

>>47996187
Ehh... Mechs are also expensive. Human pilots are replaceable but the mech fighters are not. So mechs returning with dead human pilots would be more common than not I think.

>>47994781
Used and thrown away like a worn sock... Pleasantly dystopian. Having a class of discontent, militarily trained individuals in your population is known to be a source of political instability, that's pretty much how every coup starts.

>>47997938
Remember the battlemech guide to defeating a mech, hit the legs to make them a sitting duck, hit the weapons to make them no longer dangerous, hit the pilot to skip these steps. Killing a pilot would likely be a core point of mech combat and training, automating a detection system for them to return to base after pilot vitals are no longer detected would make a lot of sense.

>>48005446
There is risk for mech returning to base to obtain another pilot. There's also a predictability element for mechs to return to base. Also a mech can be programmed to self-destruct in a kamikaze attack with a dead pilot. It depends on how much the enemy values pilot's life how mechs will react.

>>48005446
I guess that depends on how dependent on the pilot the mech is. If the pilot is mainly there for decision-making and an ally can take over remotely for that if he dies, I can also see mechs continuing to fight with a dead pilot. It would likely depend on tech, doctrine and other things.

>>47960812
yes it is

throwing a drowning man a floatation device is different to building him a boat

>>48016452
>floatation device
Explain to me how a boat is not a flotation device?

>>48016609
they serve the same function, one better than the other, and the implication of building a boat involves a more complex process than just throwing an item

>>48016784
That's not what he asked, anon.

>>48016823
I said building a boat, the action of building a vehicle for traversing water that functions as a floatation device, is different to throwing a flotation device (inferring that device is a hand-held object). He asked to explain how a boat is not a flotation device to be obtuse misrepresenting the point of the original statement and so I didn't answer his question as it made no sense in the context of my prior statement. I think it's fair.

>>48016951
You're using a lot of words to say that while every boat is a flotation device not every flotation device is a boat.

>>48017238
The extra words are there to make fun of anon for being ESL, not because they contribute to answering the question.

I ain't taking a side in this "argument" but I don't think talks in the pisscord weigh much against the threads worth of talks both sides actually had during the early days of the thread plus all the lore that has been written.

>>48021963
Oh please go on anon. Tell us how you really feel.

>>48021963
This doesn't even sound like much of an argument at all, I suppose you could say that it lacks meat.

>>48021963
eh. I don't think it's great to have /vtwbg/ writers funpost in threads just to get something to write lore about, but really it's the same thing as just making up an in-universe interaction. I just wouldn't make in a habit, we don't want a reputation for messing with generals on top of everything else.

>>48022276
NTA but I feel like essentially forcing someone to post in a certain thread and then using that as an excuse to build lore around is weird and artificial. The two nations are close enough in world where this is not really needed, they would interact regardless.

I like the breakdown of number of cyclones/hurricanes for each region, that's probably the best way to get across the severity of the weather.

KEK
Also, I now know what the weather channels meant when they talked about the "polar vortex", interesting.
Regarding glaciers, I do not believe alpine glaciers in temperate regions such as /uoh/'s are a significant source of icebergs, those would tend to melt as they descend in altitude, instead of calving all in one piece like some polar glaciers. Though we don't really have an analogue to the /uoh/ glacier irl. Nice section as well and cool document, thanks anon.

Anchor under Climate & Biome Overviews. Reminder to anyone that they can ask for one of these for their own nations at any time and I will attempt to get it to you in a timely fashion.

>>48032927
The problem with /uoh/ is we have absolutely nothing to compare it to irl as you mentioned but also as another climate, geology, weather anon, I would caution comparing it to alpine glaciers largely because of the scale. We can probably get a better understanding of what is going on when we have more in-depth lore about the whole /uoh/ icecap itself to make judgments since it's such an anomaly that is likely caused by magic (imo unless someone wants to disagree.) There are also some smaller ice caps in fetish that can also be explored with that in mind too, but i would reckon they would follow the alpine dynamic you suggested.

>>48028248
Good job anon! Thanks for your work!

>>48043520
I agree that the uoh icecap is pretty exceptional and we don't have its equivalent on current Earth, though I'm not sure it couldn't be formed by natural processes. But whether it's magic or not, the reason alpine icecaps don't create icebergs is unrelated to that and is pretty simple. It's just a matter that while descending down their mountain, the glacier has to cross a region warm enough for the ice to melt. For the /uoh/ glacier it would either be the Bsk region to the south, or a coastal border of Cwa/Csa to the north. Glaciers move relatively slowly, so I think it would melt into a river while traveling towards the ocean in those warmer regions.
That's all assuming a natural setup though, if the uoh glacier was like, supernaturally drawing atmospheric moisture and expelling glaciers at an accelerated rate, such that the glaciers get shot down the slope fast enough that they don't have the time to melt, that could result in iceberg creation. But that weather system would be pretty very weird, I wouldn't go for that without worrying about the climates for the rest of the continent first.

>>48046302
Correct, I wouldn't worry about the icebergs from it myself either for the reasons you outlined. Ultimately, as stated, we need more in-depth lore on it to understand it properly in the context it is presented in and the map does not do justice to our understanding of it either I believe.
