So seeing as there aren't forums dedicated to each faction I thought I'd through this up just so we have a place to discuss the most important things such as general strategy or (more importantly) to decide what units we should research. I'll use this first post here as a means to keep everything organized and so that Loki will only needs to look in one place to see our final decisions. So, first thing first: Research for Tier 1
So apparently each of us gets one research choice and then we decide on another as a faction. So the best way to do this, I think is for everyone to post their personal choice and group choice so we can start a discussion.
So my personal choice is for the Dodai YS so we can have the flying Mech surfboards. My idea for the group choice, however, is the Zaku Ground Type. I think it's a solid upgrade for all current Zakus and will (hopefully) help assure an edge for MS-centric groups against Feddie hordes.

Final Tier One Choices:

What I think we NEED MS-06E Zaku Reconnaissance Type, HT-01B Magella Attack I'm willing to vote on each of these two -personal opinion though if the Recon Zaku, will get the Magella worse case-
I don't see much of a reason to get the ground zaku currently because of the fact of how few Mobile suit's the Feddies will get be getting, Maybe skip all the way to the MS-06F2 Zaku II F2, That way Feddie's won't be able to pick the Zaku Ground type sense it wasn't 'researched'

The zaku ground type is fuckin cheap, that's enough reason as is to get it. Really, that thing came out to be extremely affordable.
Edit due to Dark: I still think the Dopp would be a good idea, if anyone would buy them. While I could I currently lack any ships that could run them, so that's a thing. Other votes on my list would be marine zaku, or the ground type.

Well in my opinion just because Zeon is desperate need of some form of air power I vote Dopp even if its crap compared to Feddie aircraft its better then nothing at all.

Ok, so we replace the F-type with the J-type (seems to make sense to me) and then add in a Dopp for Pitman's choice. I guess the question is then for Elite to decide whether to go for the Magella Attack or the Recon Zaku.
Also Loki, would we still be able to upgrade the J-type into the Zaku F2? That could make a big difference.

Well the F2 isn't part of the UMP. That's the Zaku Kai or Zaku FZ depending on how you want to label it.

So the new decision seems to be:
Darkapostle222: Dodai YS Elitempire: Magella Attack or MS-06E Zaku Recon Richter: Zaku Marine Type Pitman: Dopp Faction: Replace Zaku F-type with Zaku J-type

I might be willing to trade out the marine zak, maybe. I think it'd be the best choice for an actual amphibious attack force, that'd be more powerful and harder to cripple on approach than weasels + marines or Merkz.
You lot think anything else would really be a better choice? I'm already not too sure on my ability to fight a dedicated ground force on my own, which is why I defended marine zak so vehemently earlier.

I'm really against spending points on getting a Shit Aircraft, that will ONLY work with spam tactics.
Also Ritche, I suggest getting the one I don't pick. This way we hold off until you can get REAL navy support unit's aka MSM-04 Acguy NEXT time we spend points after all why get the Marine zaku only to replace it NEXT time around? its a waste of a Research point ontop of that This way we can ensure that Ground-Force's get everything they need -meaning Actual tanks AND a proper Recon unit-

You're right, I didn't realize that we got the acguy so soon relatively speaking. Yeah, it'd probably be better to save up for those then.
So we want the magella attack then?

I'll take Zaku Recon, You take the Magella attack tank then. We all good then guys?
For the faction thing, can we say NO to upgrading to another unit and instead spend a non-cannon point on improving our units? - edited this question in.

Maybe when it comes too space the DOPP is worth it, but its still Spamming tactics.
Also, would I need to spend my non-canon point to KEEP my Zaku's when a faction wide vote happens?
