that's looking excellent :D well done
This work can be described in a only way: Masterpiece ;):clap!
designer 79, ACE-FLO. outstanding achievement. it has been a long project indeed, but the finall product is a beast of beauty. :clap
RBR-AG
to mske our apperance im the upcoming AG-racing season official, we at RBR-AG have decided to release the performance output of our new prototype "taurus mk 1.2"
Speed:8
Thrust:9
Handling:9,5
shield:6.5
as always we at RBR-AG have and forever will prioritize agility over physical strength. and we are proud to announce that our ship is achieving phenomenally on the tracks, especially on the challenging ones. this is due to our vigorous testing with various airbrake systems, and also maximizing performance output of our massive main engine. also we have concluded that our dualwing design is a solid succes amongst our testpilots in regard of manouverability.

Thank you for your support, Mu5 - Andy - Xpandrome2097 and Motorsagmannen.
Not forgettin two integral members of A.L.T.E.R.N, Mdhay and Kyonshi, for their incredible input to the team... this thread is so rich now with the tapestry of new teams we've all imagined, helped to see get designed and made into mock ups using 3D software... There's a lot of talent on these boards. We all know it! 52 pages of this thread alone tells us that :rock
@Moto, the RBR-AG is interesting. :) Please visit us at A.L.T.E.R.N (AirLicker Technologies Enterprising Research Network) The info is in social groups, thanks :)

RED Weapons : Quake Disruptor / Missile / Rocket / Cannon
________________________
Quake Disruptor: Delivered from undercarriage, placed below the cockpit. Magno-Pulsonic technology harnesses magnetic energies from the track surface, harnessed then concentrated,into a field of energy which can be fired onto the track, giving the desired Quake Disruptor punch delivery to all ships on track.
Prime difference which causes controversy in the league is our clever use of Magno-Pulsonic technology - unlike other ships, we've actually placed our unit under the cockpit. At the back half of the ship, where the ship weighs the most. The advantage of this is, the ship doesnt experience getting a slight lift on the nose when firing the Quake (which can slow you down by a fraction). Instead, when the Quake is fired, it lifts the back (heavy) end of the ship up instead, givin better aerodynamics... and as pilot, Jaded_Blade discovered - if used over the correct bump, can give you enough lift to execute a Barrel Roll, and do something amazing... RIDE THE QUAKE! This is Tez Dharkan Technologies, the promise of Potent Fear is Near...
________________________
Missile: Fired from the Lower openings in the Frontal Arms of the ship. (AirLicker/Magec Deuce Finnesse RedSnakes, developed by Magec - tuned by AirLicker Group)
That was then, this is now...Quote:
The AirLicker Group funded a new technology which draws power away from the shield and re-invests that power into the weapons engine onboard, giving weapons a 35% boost in impact measured. This does leave our ship open to all threats when we engage a weapon, as our shields are ineffective at point of weapons engagement. But this is a risk we are willing to take. ? We like to take risks here. Details of our revolutionary shield technology remain the intellectual property of A.L.T.E.R.N and cannot be revealed.
Improved relations between members at A.L.T.E.R.N has ensured the ongoing evolution of our weapons systems. Previously, everytime we engaged a weapon - our shield suffered as a result, Now however - it only affects the ship when a missile is engaged. So, though this is our achilles heel - people forget achilles had a supernatural strength - so do we. Our missile hits measure a 35% increase in impact measured psi, when compared to those measured from other teams. And that's enough to eliminate most opponents with below 50% shield in one hit...
Technical data: Apace crazyhorse/Global Switch mk4 M-Nesia line Power Management - Used to transfer power between engines, to help facilitate the rapid deployment of integrated weapons - whilst limiting the power usage of the craft, ensuring long term shield stability. This Power Management System is only utilized for the Missile weapon, whereas previously was used to manage all weapons power management.
//Locking Engine: ISIS TwinSnake Technologies (utilizing the TRDnL technology from the Xpandrome2097 - thank you mate (TRNDnL = ThermoRadialDetect-N-Lock))
________________________
Rockets: Cleverly placed inside the upper openings of the frontal arm sections - but able to fire from each arm individually. A set of 3 projectile rockets, shot out on the track surface, delivering heavy damage to all ships on their trajectory, indisciminately.
Technical Data: //Red/Rockets: B.R.A.P.P.E Systems/ (Breathe Real Action Poseidon Power Execution) Custom tuned and manufactured for AirLicker Group
Again, Rockets are a dangerous weapon indeed. They do not discriminate between chosen targets - preferring to unleash 3 fury driven projectiles down the track. This time round, the polarity thrusters have been re-calibrated to allow for the addtional decrease in overall weight of the whole ship. This is largely due to the fact that there is no need for additional power management from the main system, resulting in less mass for the team ship. Couple this with the shock force of firing rockets - the cockpit usually suffers bone shaking movement - often leaving the pilot unable to keep concentration for that crucial fraction of a second. Not anymore - F.E.I.S.A.R. from the AirLicker Grouip had invented a technology which encased the pilot in a vacuum, where vibratioon and movement outside of the vacuum had no effeect on the pilot. Although this technology is largely patented, a patent release was granted to us (thank you so much for your contribution F.E.I.S.A.R :)) for a limited use of the technology. Our limited use of this technology does not allow for us to build a "dispacement pod" inside of the cockpit, so we modified it to encase the resistance zones of the cockpit instead. After almost 4 months of complicated physical and mathematical workings and testings - we've managed to shield the pilot form shock enduced concentration lapse.
________________________
Cannon: Not a favourite amongst the pilots - the cannon is difficult to aim when firing whilst hurtling along the track, its' only recompense is its' power to damage ships from distance - and over 5 cannon hits to any ship in succession - its' ability to stop a ship in its' tracks. Our Cannon weapons unit is hidden under the adjoining seections of the arm, sat in a suspended mehanism which remains hidden away when the cannon weapon is not in use. When flying over a weps pad, if the Cannon weapon is unlocked, the cannon house mecahnism repositions the cannon turret, now visible - the pilot is ready to take aim and fire.
Technical Data: ///Red/Cannon. KbL_Saracen: 75HOLE_MAKER with complete custom composite housing (AirLicker SuperLightsTM. Saracen/Apace response engine. Shells: FX500 standard issue proton cannon hull borers
Nevermind the controversy surrounding us, we have to date accomplished much in the way world of High Speed Anti-Gravity Combat Racing. We've put up with having to scrap entire projects at the behest of the governing bodies for our beloved league. It took us a very long time to ensure that our promise of Potent Fear is delivered... we're almost there. Almost. We have ourselves a ship which has been approved by the AG-commision for FX500 league competition. We've gone over budget many a time, and had to scrap entire technologies which the commision deemed either too dangerous, too uhnfair, or too iverbudget. For much of this project, we felt as if our hands were tied behind our backs. We had personnel issues too (Preeti and Jade - cat fights :D) not to mention the time in our history when our 2nd Pilot - Arjan Tankaria, sadly passed away... unsettling, to sat the least.
But, we are A.L.T.E.R.N - The Air-Licker Technologies Enterprising Research Network - and with the combined contributions of every member, their support and love of team Tez Dharkan Technologies, we pulled through. You know who you are, gentlemen, I love you all :)
Anyway, It aint over yet... we got more to share with you fine peeps, so watch this spACE ;)
@motor: Great idea for a ship/skin!! :) Nice one
Following the Race Commission's decision to introduce a new speed class,Mach One, that can only be used on speedways(think Daytona USA or,if you are a student like I am(poster,that is), the school track)because it is soooo fast,we at Quadteki have won the bid to create the standard ship for ALL teams to use in this new speed class.With the new technology created that encases the pilot in a vacuum to reduce bone shaking from weapon attacks,this speed class will be much safer.We have come up with the design and are testing it.
CEO,
Ernie Desmond Jeremy
P.S:Not related to me in any way!(except ship)
We are now in the process of placing the airbrakes and weapons bay,with a gatling gun beside the pilot just to balance the craft(pilots will still need to race over weapon pads to use it).The ship design is a bit similar to the F9000 Auricom(in terms of cockpit placement,that is).
Ship Statistics(same regardless of team)
Speed:20/10(Think F7200 high speed prototype ship with speed stat of 10)
Handling:9 /10
Thrust:8/10
Shield:7/10

A.L.T.E.R.N - Inside Everest part one - "FX500 Racetrack Stratus 4"
Home of Team Tez Dharkan Technologies, the A.L.T.E.R.N HQ situated in the mountain of Everest, (New India) is a monument to Anti-Gravity technologies. The mystery surrounding A.L.T.E.R.N and the secretive technologies which are developed there are shrouded in the same speculation and guesswork as the infamous Area51 in the USofA, circa 21st century. But we are not area51, and the technologies developed at A.L.T.E.R.N are seen by the world, in significantly shorter time frames. Making no secret of our purpose, we have erected an anti-grav race track on the summits of Everest. Stratus 4, a track designed, developed and overseen by the Co-director of A.L.T.E.R.N, Mdhay. The significance of its' placement high atop the mount, plays a monumental role in reminding us at A.L.T.E.R.N HQ that nothing is impossible.
Many objected to the Stratus 4 racetracks' proposed initial placement on a world heritage site, but the epic nature of the project was such that Mdhays' grand vision had captured the imaginations of some very important and influential people. This lead to the planning authorities wanting to see a plan of the proposed racetrack. Upon producing our paperwork, we were surprised to hear that the authorities were in favour of allowing a racetrack to built there. I was present at this meeting with govt. officials, and was not expecting the govt. to actually be in favour of such a plan. I made it known that I was not excpecting such a reaction, and though pleasantly surprised, I wanted to know why they had taken the decision to suppport us. I was told that they wanted New India to be recognised as a nation which is aspiring to change convention, and renew itself from its' troubled and fragmernted past. This project of ours was like an inspirition to that vision, to reach new, seemingly unnatainable heights which push us to our very limits and redefine our boundaries. And where better to do that then atop Everest, On Status 4, sitting in the Tez Dharkan - flying at speeds which would leave you unable to think, just react out of sheer memory and skill... hearing that, I almost drank myself into a fun frenzied stupor, such was my joy at their acceptance of our plans for Stratus 4.
Due to a server glitch(possible reference to the PS3 8001050F Error?),we at Quadteki have been unable to release new data as the whole workforce at Quadteki have been helping solve the glitch.
However,hope is not lost.Some data that is on the servers were on spec sheets were printed out on paper for me to see,so I will be concentrating on the data that I have.
We have decided to made slight changes to the ship design.Due to the ship having a max speed of 1100 kph,the downforce created will "push down"
the ship due to its nose shape.

A.L.T.E.R.N. UPDATE!!! New Development Team
Team Name: Code 194 Systems (C194S)
Province: Bronx, NY
It was a long day in Hell when Assegai changed the field of Handling and in Thrust. It's time that we take control and put them into the museum with their out of date junk!
Pilot #1: Drake Ducane, Age 31
Pilot #2: Twanna Smith, Age 27
It's almost time to bring in a new era, but before that happens, we will take back the US circuits. Assegai and Mirage, you need worry about us, because if you don't, you'll end up in the hospital!
Currently, the information of the team is strictly confidential, but they did leak a few things about the ship they pilot:
1. It is incredibly light and is speedy at takeoff.
2. The ship can handle turns like a pro.
3. It's delicate to impact in particular.
4. Will have an unusual color scheme.
More to follow!
Welcome to A.L.T.E.R.N, Raziel-X007 :) that was pretty cool :) unusual colour scheme eh? that's what I'm curious about.
Ace,
Chairman, AirLicker Technologies Enterprising Research Network. :rock
You'll have to wait until Tomorrow.. But here's a preview from HR, the Logo!
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/alb...pictureid=2083
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/alb...pictureid=2083
A.L.T.E.R.N ALERT!!!!
New info on the Color Scheme from Code 194 Systems!
New notes exclusive to the company now reveals the color scheme, stats and model of it.
Model: FTXS4600 Prototype (Field Tactical Xtreme Ship)
In a recent test run of the ship, the design is similar to the Assegai fury Upgrades with two major exceptions:
A. The Tri Servo Mk 3 Engines are placed at the points of the ship: One to the left, right and center.
B. The cockpit will be located in the center of the center spirepiece in the FTXS4600 prototype. This makes for an interesting view and top notch turning capabilities.
Also, the left and right spires are shorter in length compared to the center spire (by 33%). The ships design will be opposite of Assegai's latest ship with the cockpit spire sticking out, almost in a trident fashion.
Stats:
Speed: 8.5
It can keep a steady speed and hold its own compared the rest of the ships out today. Though questionable against Icarus and Triakis, it has be tested to keep a decent speed even in the Mag capture fields.
Thrust: 8.0
A backseat needed to be there for it's amazing handling and top-tier speed. The thrust, though up to par with many a ship, is very odd at the moment. It works well when hitting the boost panels and at the start, but for lack of better term, it stalls after hitting a wall and after taking substantial damage (30% and lower).
Handling: 10.0
Superior due to it's very light body, the handling is considered the best in the circuit today and as such is very easy for even new pilots to pick up and drive. It's Auto-Pilot system (when available) makes for one of the most craftiest ships every to his the course.
Shield: 5.0
Where handling is superior, the armor is very delicate. Again, the light material will almost leave the most vital sections of the ship exposed with constant maintenance and a nimble flight program. Three "average" rockets or one plasma will automatically stall the ship with a condition known as System Cmmand Freeze (or SCF).
System Command Freeze is where the ship will stall and become nonfunctional for a few seconds, but has been known to remain in that state for over an hour. Once back online, the ship will not respond to it's pilot controls until 50% or more of the ship's functions is back online.
Color Scheme: The scheme will be black body with Crimson and Azure streaks from the left and right spires. The unusual section is that those colors are trailing the ship when it speeds up.
More to come in the coming days!
A.L.T.E.R.N. Update
Important news will be updated:
- Volcano Hi-Tech has created an exclusive weapon...our mastermind, ACE-FLO, knows all the details;
- Kiwazuka Labs has finally finished their works about its exclusive ship, "Leviatron XL", a serious monster of ship based on the exclusive "Lateral Torsion Physics Engine" and, also, has finally selected the definitive colors of the team;
Very recent new:
- Someone whisper about an entry of the Norwegian Colossus "Novatech", famous for the elimination of third world's debt happened in 2170, into the AG-Racing...only this can be revealed at the moment.
Raziel-X007, welcome on A.L.T.E.R.N., very nice ideas!!!!
C,mon guys, everyone of us knows the recent events, but I want to say: don't destroy your imagination, don't abandon your ideas, Sony can't make this!
Hope and force, for everyone of us!
XpanDrome2097
Thanks... XpanDrome2097!!!
More from C194S tomorrow..
A.L.T.E.R.N UPDATE: Quadteki - "Impressive Technologies"
As mentioned in a previous update, the Quadteki cpu's were plagued with internal server errors, which delayed the production of the teams lateral stability engines. That matter was resolved after a brief meeting at the AirLicker Groups' Prototype Testing Centre. Turned out that F.E.I.S.A.R had some interesting ideas for the lateral stability engines. He wanted to stray away from convention and implement an untested but sound idea. Things were going smoothly until the dataloss affected the progress of the Lateral Stability engines.
That was not long ago, but the data was not all lost. I had a copy of the sensitive data at A.L.T.E.R.N and managed to relay this info over to Ernest in time for the regulatory committee inspections. They went so smoothly, that even I was impressed. This team is a sure fire crowd pleaser, and why not? It's origins are traceable to fine roots, its progress has ensured a rebirth for the Teki-Go scene all around the world. Rumours are circulating that sponsorship offers from multinational companies are on the table, going to the highest bidder. This is something Quadteki knew was going to happen and their constant connection with its' ever growing fanbase has ensured that it will. And it doesn't stop there.
The awareness of this team on a global scale is staggerring. The revenue generated from thei sales of Quadteki merchandise has raised eyebrows. Clever marketing of the Quadteki brand on their part. Ernest and his team are truly a fan fave - we are now good friends and am pleased technologies from Qaudteki have been implemented in Tez Dharkan (see Rocket weps data - A.L.T.E.R.N Red Weapons datacast from last week).
The development team at Quadteki continue on in putting the final tweaks to their Lateral Torsion Physics at this time, and will be ready for final inspection soon.
For now however, I am pleased at the progress they achieved in a relatively short time frame. A true achievement :)

A.L.T.E.R.N UPDATE: Volcano Hi-Tech - "Vagrant Logic"
Quite possibly the most loved personality in the FX500, Guilio Galletti has constantly defied convention when it came to his true passion - giving you what you want! :) Yep, the fans say it all here - and he obeys them. Everyone loves this guy :) His company made anything mechanical that his fans wanted, en masse.... but when they asked him to enter the world of Hi-Speed Anti-Grav Combat Racing, and put a team in it, it seemed a little too much to ask from him - that's what I thought. But I was wrong :)
Guilio has a certain, vagrant logic in his approach to success. Once he gets an idea into his head, he pursues it with almost calculated yet very unconventional methods. And he gets great results.
Our partnership with Guilio Galletti has helped us both to network our contacts together, in the spirit of friendly team rivalry, ensuring that we are constantly discovering new ways to outwit eachother in terms of business and pure old simple fun and games. He is likeable, unconventional, a natural charmer and a great friend and ally in the cut throat world of the FX500.
Though he is despised by governments the world over for his "Lovable Rogue - the govt. can't stop me, it's for thew people" attitude, he rmains a firm favourite for his rather unconventional ways, and his dedication to the people. His way works, he proves it over and over again... now that's some vagrant logic :rock
A.L.T.E.R.N Update!!!!
Code 194 Systems
In recent days, the Tri Servo Mk 3 Engine Output has failed to keep things in check, so to compensate for the recent events, C194S will be conducting more tests at Chengou Projects for more "accurate" results...
Investigations have uncovered that the glitch was not an accidental one. There was a saboteur in the company that came from Sadan Incorporated and he had caused the glitch because his bosses from Sadan told him to as they did not win the bid to build the "Mach One" speed class ship.They failed getting the bid as their proposed ship design was a pitchfork,with the narrow end facing forward.This did not win over the Race Commission as any ramming into the back end of the craft would severely damage the craft,resulting in an instant elimination of the contender.
On a more positive note,we have fully recovered from the damage dealt from Sadan Inc. and are now finalising the ship design,but we are also considering partial usage of the COnnection For Flight INterface or COFFIN of which the pilot/operator is connected to the craft for better reaction times through neural connections. More details will be made known at a later date.

AirLicker Group design the AirLicker mkI Piranha skin for the FX400
Can't reveal much more except to say, It will be housed in our famous composites and shall increase turning abilities due to a lighter mass. Details will be posted upon full completion of the project.
Watch this spACE ;)
I'm very interested for this piece of art, I can't wait :hyper!
Well, this will be a working livery/skin. I hope you will enjoy the many hours of racing pleasure the AirLicker will bring you. :)
A.L.T.E.R.N DATACAST: The Method, Bane.
Something rang fishy when F.E.I.S.A.R called my line requesting a holo-call at 3am. I obliged, knowing F.E.I.S.A.R to be well respected amongst his peers and a close friend and ally to A.L.T.E.R.N. I was glad I did. He informed me of an attempted datatheft at QUADTEKI HQ. Though some data was stolen from QUADTEKI, I was assured the data was not sensitive, and the remote encryption authentication device (READ) on the disc which was copied, would render the data useless anyway. Clever. However, it was still an attempted theft and the thief was still largely at large. Danger was making itself felt in my bones as F.E.I.S.A.R continued to explain what had transpired at QUADTEKI.
I asked who the suspects were was told the following, same as what you heard last week -
What F.E.I.S.A.R didn't tell you was something I told him to keep from you. SOmething I want to now reveal. In order to do so, I will have to tell you a little historyQuote:

His final words to me before he was scurried off for tribunal were, "Remember Ace, My purpose was not to steal, my purpose is to give you a message. My bosses tell me that this is only a taste for you, First we will start with your firends in this 'exercise in futility' you call Anti-Gravity racing. We will crush them one by one, and we have many faces"
"Who do you work for?" I had to know.
"The Goki-Tengu Group" Pure terror at the sound of a name which hadnt been heard of in over a decade. The idea was that they operated under different names. Only using their Goki-Tengu brand of terror when they were making political statements. Sadan Incorporated is one such affiliate of the Goki-Tengu Group.
I won't lie to you and say we have the situation in hand. This is a problem faced by all and everyone in the FX500 league. AirLicker Technologies Enterprising Research Network is currently undergoing a full personnel reprofiling. We urge all other independant team entries into the FX500 to do the same , we will support where necessary.
If the Goki-Tengu Group succeed in bringin us down form within, we will most certainly have failed ourselves. It is at this time that i implore you all to be forthcoming with any information you may have. The Goki-Tengu Group want the patents on all our technologies for themselves I hope you understand what that means... it aint good peeps.
For now, I thank F.E.I.S.A.R for enlightening us all on this re-emergence of an old enemy. For this reason, I will with-hold the latest information on Volcano Hi-Tec Weapons Delivery System (W.D.S) for now.
You will be kept updated by members of A.L.T.E.R.N.

Giuilio Galletti:
"Today is a special day indeed, the grim days are finally passed.
Goku Sensetsu, one of the biggest leaders of this dangerous organization, was arrested by an helpful and very secret operation of the European Police Group, in alliance with the Italian Security Special Forces.
Its codename was "GxT0112af", and we have provide to give to him the correct identification:
Goku Sensetsu
Born in Kyoto, 19 February 2142
Male
But we have menaced this great piece of s**t to deliver us all th identification codes for every member of this organization:
Maximum leader: Yoshitzu Kiwazuka
Born in HK, 15 September 2139
Male, leader and founder of Kiwazuka Labs
Codename GxT0111mt
I feel very disappointed: the leader is Yoshitzu? F**k man!!!!
Some people at Feisar won't understand my suspects, and now I 've got right!
I'm very happy that my suspects was founded, because KZ Labs had got a serious donation from my bank some years ago, but this money was totally cancelled during the transfer, and now I understand the reason.
Goki Tenku group was an organization created to destroy the peaceful relations of the AG-Racing league, and their objects would be concretized in the project of a very obscure model ship, called "arXan666" (the "X" stands as a censorship), that in a very near future this could be the new model name of kiwazuka labs ship, not "Laviatron XL", puah!
Excuse me mates, but I want to say: N**i pilots f**k off!
Their racing stats was very unbalanced (ts 10, th 9, ha 8, sh 9) and the approvation of "Lateral Torsion Physics Engine" was only the first step to legalize their obscure plans to obtain an overpowered ship with a new airbrake system.
But the ship was only the smallest part of their plans: the first object of GTG was to steal informations about rival's technologies and create chaos in their peaceful lines, to win the championship and obtain the prize to increase their illegal traffic of information and world domination.
Hackers/Other members:

ex-member from Triakis laboratories in FX300 league
founder of the hated "inverted inertzia decelerator"
Codename GxT000az
Only 5 guys, but extremely dangerous!
Emil Vikar was the creator of "inverted inertzia decelerator" that was declared illegal by the AG Racing foundation, Triakis has immediately kicked out this guy after this scandal, but now we know his activity after the Triakis dismissal.
All the guys were arrested, GTG is only a bad memory now.
The trouble was finally stopped! Now I want to be sure that these b******s will get what they deserves.
Now the money recovered from KZ Labs will be donated to A.L.T.E.R.N. AG-Racing Foundation.
Remeber that the "war" is on the track, not a real war indeed, but this word must be taked just as a competition, and not as a declaration of domination all over the world, let's be friends!
Be In Peace.

A.L.T.E.R.N DATACAST : "So what I thought I'd do was pretend I was one of those deaf mutes..."
Sometimes I just want to leave my head in a bowl of cornflakes, and let it catch its' last glimpses of a dreamlike fantasy, and stay there. But being who I am, I can enjoy no such uninhibited comfort. Especially with the situation as it stands with Sadan Inc - I couldn't even entertain the thought of being entertained :paperbag
Guilio called me to say he had enough to deal with lately and that Sadan Inc were not just affiliates of the Goki Tengu Group, but 2 of Goki Tengus' founders were personal financiers to Sadan inc. I'm not surpised, but this doesn't lessen my worry for the situation we find ourselves in.
Yesterday I got this in my private mail channel, its' form F.E.I.S.A.R:
I sure do, dammit! I have an idea as to who the current Boss of Sadan is now, personal vengeance is a dead giveaway. My sus[icions fall on two individuals, both of whom are known leaders in the Goki Tengu Group and both are current financiers to Sadan Inc. Convenient, no? ;)Quote:

His recruitment into the Goki Tengu Group was one which was much anticipated by the underworld. Being of the Manji clan, he already enjoyed a reputation of being an almost mythical being - simply due to his heritage. Coupled with this was his fascination with Manji Occult histories, and books his families had archived off in their family library - when he came of age he was already a mean spritited and hungry individual. Preferring to buy alliances from his peers, instead of forging friendships. His motive was simple, to own those he kept company with. And he rose fast in the world of the criminal elite of Tokyo. Demonic by bloodline and by nature, he was noticed a mid level district collector for the Goki Tengu Group and Manji was impeded for hustling his extortion racket on Goki Tengu territory. It was here that he was given a choice. The only choice the Goki Tengu Group ever give anyone - "Join us, or die!"
Well, he joined and became a very influential member there quite quickly. It was his idea that Goki Tengu Group operate as separate criminal entities, with Goki Tengu serving as an umbrella organisation. It was also Manji who requested Tokyo police to "politely" address Goki Tengu employees, as "manners" were important in todays world where "ethics" were an endangered concept. Cheeky bastard. He didn't know what he was blabbering on about, goes to show - he's got ego, and is borderline moronic.
The last I could gather from my sources is that he is here, in New India. I think I know why...
Anyway, the second financier is Bertam Mason, once officially knighted by the King of England for services to the country, but lost his knighthood in the "Sylvia Corp. Scandal"* of 30 years ago.
A founding father of the Goki Tengu Group, and a bit of a father figure to the somewhat wreckless yet talented master criminal, Manji Dano. Bertrams' word carries the weight of recommendation and it was on his say so that Manji Dano got given "the choice" not many get. Bertram also took a personal interst in schooling Manji in the ways of the Tengu.
Tengu by definition
Mythical lore states that in ancient Japan, there lived a race of forest dwelling demons known aas the Tengu. These Tengu would terrorize entire villages on their campaigns of looting, murder and worse. They were spoken of in fear, and stories of the Tengu would be told to unruly children, by parents. Telling children that if they didn't behave, the Tengu would come for them.
The Tengu were often depicted in japanese art as fearsome ape-men with/[wearing masks with] elongated tubular noses. The Tengu were also reputed to be stealthy, intelligent, deadly and very secretive of their existence. No doubt, the original mythical Tengu have helped to inspire the birth of the Ninja way of life.
Modern day though, and the meaning of Tengu is something darker. No longer confined to simply ransacking villages, but taking down multi national conglomerates and acquiring technologies to serve a vision as dark as their collective Tengu histories is something which makes me wish I could leave my head here - in this bowl of cornflakes.
So, we know who we're dealing with at the moment. Manji Dano, and Bertram Mason. Bertram also claims noble blood. Apparently from the Knights Templar, which I find dubious since the Templar Knights raped and plundered like mad anyway... question is, which Templar Knight? These guys have egos which need constant gratification - and if it don't come to them, they go out and get it. You know what I'm saying, right? :? ...
Now, where's that bowl of cornflakes :lol
*Sylvia Corp Scandal - Bertram and a few other military officials in the British government were responsible for ensuring the destruction of surplus weapons. The scandal came to light when Bertram was exposed in BBC World Service in a video breach exposing Bertram making deals with Russian mercenaries. This led to Bertram and crew losing their knighthoods. Bertram left Great Britain and settled in Japan.
FX500 Datacast:
Due to the recent scandal of its own leader, we have officially decided that Kiwazuka Labs must be totally suspended from the FX500 league's partecipation.
From now the regular controls for every team involved into the FX500 league would be increased.
In the meantime, we are ready to accept the Novatech team partecipation, but we are still waiting for its A.L.T.E.R.N. presentation and verification.

WolfBane R.D.: EMERGENCY UPDATE
Statement Released By Joshuah Hoffman On The WolfBane Datacast:
"A.L.T.E.R.N. and Quadteki were not the only ones who have been attacked by the terrorist organization known as the Goki-Tengu Group. We here at WolfBane has also seen data and reasearch swiftly stolen from our databanks. How the hacker snuck into our facilities to gain acess to our private server are still unknown, although we fear the worst. And we also fear that their attempt of data-theft was...sucessful. Although none of our vital technologies were completely stolen. They managed to take a good chunk of our research. Their knowledge of our security systems was terrifying. To prevent the enemy from using these technologies against us, there has been a revolution ocurring in our organization. Our security systems and protocalls have been revamped, and we have proudly trumped all our previous technology making the data stolen seem primitive. Behold our new craft which utilizes all our new technologies. This craft is the very depiction of the revolution ocurring in our walls. I know you're watching this Goki-Tengu, and I dare you to try it again."

A.L.T.E.R.N DATACAST: 1064498//ALT-MEMBER//WolB-R&D
The Method Bane, delivered
Dear members of A.L.T.E.R.N, I understand you're all pretty busy so I'll make this quick as I can. I've not yet had the opportunity to speak with Joshua regarding the attack at WolfBane R&D mentioned above. Thie network of the Goki Tengu Group and its particular branch in question - Sadan Inc, is wide. It seems that Sadan Inc. are intent on collating data from various leaders in Anti-Gravity Combat Racing Technologies. Assuming they manage to acquire all the data they need from wherever they chose for a moment, please. Humour me, because they sure think it is possible, and I find that worrying. The question I ask is "What would they do with it?"
The answer is not one I can give I'm afraid, not til I know more... What I do know is this, The Goki Tengu may be intent on sending its Sadan Inc branch of skilled infiltrators to steal data from us, but so far - everything they have is not going to get them far.
I applaud Joshua for his deifant response to Sadan Inc.'s attack. For one, I know I speak for all of us when Isay that we are pleased at your progress with WolfBane R&D despite the turbulence at the recent events at your high tech labs, which your team had encountered. Which leads me to my closing point gentlemen.
I beleive we should all continue in the spirit which Joshua has adopted. The Goki Tengu and its affiliates have no rules, no justification for their cruel intent and actions on acquiring whatever they deem necessary for global domination, and worse. They are lawlwess, ungovernned and inhumane by nature. Their ethos is one so horrendous, it can only be described as bane... and to beat the bane, you send the bane.
WolfBane R&D have shown no fear in their dealing with the loss of sensitive data. They have managed to not only re-work their current technologies to make them "theirs" again, but in the process - develop a better ship also. This I call "The Method Bane", learn it. By our next meeting, I expect us all to have put the fear of progress in the dark hearts of those Goki Tengu and Sadan lot.
As promised, I am cutting this short. I've just had a report fly in, revealing the exact whereabouts of Manji Dano, I was right to suspect him being somewhere in New India. So I'm flying off to the Gujarat, while I'm gone, I'll be ex-communicado, but will biref you on my return on the ususal channels.

F.E.I.S.A.R's Diary
Date:15 March 2288
It was an uneventful day at the facillity/school.However,as I left the research facillity/school through the back gate to go home,I was hit in the back of my head. I blacked out.
The next thing I know,I was in a prison cell. I could hear planes taking off and landing. I must be near the Singapore Changi International Airport. I certainly was not in a prison,so what is this place?
I heard clearly that someone "wants to get rid of Quadteki,Singapore Branch".They must have thought I was still unconscious.
Wrong! I was conscious. I inferred that they must be part of Sadan Inc,or at least the Goki Tengu Group. But they(Sadan Inc) have a branch in Singapore????
As I heard footsteps getting louder and louder, I faked unconsciousness. After I was out of the "warden"s view,I quickly took out my silenced tranquillizer handgun and shot the "warden" in the foot.He then collapsed. I reached around for the keys(keys????how old fashioned are they???) to the prison cell.After doing so,I freed myself.
Since leaving through the front door is as good as courting death, I was stumped. That was when I heard an employee say "Don't worry,the PitchFork-13 prototype is safe in this branch".They have already lost the bid,why for keep the prototype??
Since Sadan Inc likes unlucky numbers,the possibility of the prototype ship being at the 13th floor of the building is very high.I found a stairwell and it goes to the top of the building. I climbed up the stairs quietly to the 13th floor.
I was greeted with a security door,saying please enter passnumber.I was suddenly discovered by four employees.They had machine guns with them(Machine guns?I thought unauthorised possession of weapons is paramount to the death penalty*?)and tried shooting me.I had no choice but to shoot them with my silenced tranquillizer handgun.I entered the passnumber,which was 13666.I dumped the four employees into the back seat(back seat????I thought AG-Craft were supposed to be single seaters??)and took off form Sadan Inc,Singapore,back to the research facillity/school.
However,there were Sadan Inc b4st4rds chasing after me.
I found machine guns on the ship that were usable even without flying over a weapon pad.And used their technology against them.They(the chasers) were wasted.
I made it back to the Research Facillity's/school's Hangar(The hangar is for AG-Craft Racing in the CX-70 AG-Racing Side League),but,the PitchFork's A-Grav Generator acted up.I made a right turn into the hangar.Then,the ship suddenly lost grip and lost its A-Grav field,causing the ship to grind on the ground.It landed safely,but it was only a few centimeters from the FEISAR that I use in the CX-70.
After this incident was made known to the public,especially South East Asia,stock prices of Sadan Inc SEA(South East Asia) plunged 90 degrees down to zero dollars and zero cents.
At least I got to try the PitchFork:)
It sucks:frown:
F.E.I.S.A.R
*In present Singapore,unauthorised possession of guns is punishable by death.In this dimension,because I race in the CX-70 Singapore AG-Racing Youth Side League,the government has given me the right to possess weapons
Gah, I'm having the hardest time with this new ship I'm trying to design. The side was super fun to draw but I cannnot make the top view match up. :( So I'm asking for a little help with my new ship for anyone that wants to give me a hand. Tell me if you're intrested. I'll go ahead and post what I have now. Please keep in mind that these are just sketches. :paperbag
AirLicker Group would like to have a go :)

Excellent :D We here at WolfBane wish you the best of luck :+
i'll try to get the top view to match up if you like. :)
Go for it. Any and all help is appreciated :)
hope you like it, I had a little trouble with the back wings but I reckon it looks really good :), I saw your colour scheme too so I thought I'd add that, I went for a camo sort of thing, dunno if that's what you had in mind haha. I can send you the photoshop file if you like, it'll help if you wanna colour it in better than I have.
well, I hope you like it wolf
That looks great andy :D I'll PM you my e-mail adress so you can send me those photoshop files.
Looking excellent. :rock Nice translation, Andy :+. :)
the tests are yielding spectacular results, i've ensured that the verification process will be thorough. And since we're having probs with Goki Tengus lil brother Sadan Inc, i'm beefing up security around the NovaTech hangers. It's hard even for me to get in without the proper clearance - and I like it that way...Quote:
