Your own personal military equipment

[amadeus]

What would you get? I’d want a BATTLECRUISER.

Tanks, can’t take them on the road. Airplanes, really cramped and I don’t like to fly.

But a battlecruiser? Show those rich yacht snobs who’s the boss. What are they going to do, play squash at me?

What if I just get Eddie Deezen to help get me in? I wasn’t expecting to think about Eddie Deezen today but here we are.

You can always take the ammunition out! If someone has a military-grade weapon around me I’m not waiting around to find out if it’s actually loaded or not.

Assume the military goods, procurement and upkeep alike, in this case are gratis and therefore you need not adjust your caloric intake beyond your own choosing.

It would cost a fortune to maintain and operate (I assume an All female crew ?)
Of course one could "hire out" ones services to as a means though there arent that many countries with deep pockets that can afford.
Maybe Japan could pay you a retainer fee to keep your warship around

An ornithopter, preferably one with giant swan-like wings.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

An ornithopter, preferably one with giant swan-like wings.

Ornithopter wings resemble a dragonfly.

I wouldn't want a battlecruiser. A trireme took mine out in a Civ I game

then i'll get a battlecruiser so i can sell it

 

[Zardnaar]

Probably something like a destroyer use it to putt around the South Pacific.

Fiji, Rarotonga, Samoa etc then north to Palau.

Ye ha look what I got mom!!

Battle cruisers sink in stormy weather apparently.

They can but the dictionary definition isn't as specific as yours.

That’s why I wouldn’t be paying for it! Lease out the naming rights to Admiral… wait, no, Commodore… wait.

(I assume an All female crew ?)

They’d just need to be competent sailors regardless of gender. Besides, it’s uncouth to use your subordinates for those kinds of things. Picking up dry cleaning and calling the telephone company, that’s all good.

I think if you knew me I’d go for something retro anyway so its use would be limited to defenseless vessels and coastal villages. Also I wouldn’t want it to get stuck in the Suez like an idiot.

Why on earth would I want anything?

To do what man has done since the first cave painting: show up some jerk.

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

Choose to live a life with less jerks in your periphery. I don't want a gun thanks.

 

[Farm Boy]

A gun seems to be a tool designed just for that...

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

No, that just makes you the Jerk.

 

[Samson]

I want the military grade surveillance systems. If the state can put Pegasus on my system I want to be able to put in on theirs.
