Before I get started, I'd like to preface this with a short statement. First, I know the metal storm subject comes up quite often. I also know that it the merits of such a weapon system is much debated.
I don't care. That's not what I'm here for. ok...so...now for a little background. Reading the description of the Yamaha Sakura Fubuki, there is mention of "Yamaha's new line of electronic weapons" which intrigued me. I pondered this and thought, "what are the other Corps doing as a response?" Since Metal Storm would probably have been bought out/absorbed/bankrupted by the time 2070 comes around, someone has to have purchased the IP associated with it (name, patents, designs, etc.) Whoever did probably decided to dust off that part of their portfolio and started research into a new line with the "original Metal Storm, trusted since 200x" to try to hedge in on Yamaha's new market. In the game I'm running, someone has done just that and the players were hired to snag the designs along with a batch of their first run production models. So I've created a line of electronic firing weapons, which I will post here in a few weeks after the players have completed the run. But what I need your help with as a community is which corp should be resurrecting Metal Storm? I don't really want to do Ares, cus there is so much Ares stuff out there already. Other than that, any weapons manufacturing Corp, be it a mega or a AA, or even A rank Corp. [edit] Here is the information on the new line[/edit] |
