[quote=MrFoxNews] Are you using Reich Rail guns? Or some sort of Custom variant based of the Reich ones? [/quote] Their own. It'd be very expensive to ship someone else's weapons and ammunition into orbit, and there isn't any guarantee that they'd hold up in a zero-gravity environment. They're designed more with firing shots off than any real power; anything that's in space right now wouldn't be exactly armored, especially a space ship. All it'd take is one railgun round to tear through a shuttle. Note that anyone who helps the Ceres Independence would have to be in for a long-term investment. At first, the Ceres Independence would be a put of a guzzler; they'll need more advanced electronics from Earth before they can start producing their own in their own factories, which would still be a ways away. I'm making it so that America doesn't have much of a chance of keeping the Ceres Independence with them, whoever the Americans are now. All the changes were lost on the Ceres, which is quite remote, so I must dutifully be lost with what's gone on as well. :3
