Generic Drone Database text: A generic surveillance drone equipped with a TV camera and IR night vision. Basically, this is a remote control version of the Chotia Weedhopper, equipped with a camera with zoom (marine binoculars), IR night vision (night vision goggles), and MAYBE a laser designator for painting a target for other aircraft, etc. It is meant to simulate the dozens of drone models built by countries around the world. It can also simulate any future or homebrew drone models such as those that might be purchased or built by terrorists, criminal syndicates, spy agencies, countries torn apart by civil wars, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chotia_Weed…

Just a few more ideas (again, designed so they can be done simply, using existing platforms but adding new names so Victory Conditions can be set more easily)... STRC - Commercial District Use: STRC - Factory Description: An area of a town or city used primarily for businesses, services, etc. STRC - Shopping Mall Use: STRC - Factory Description: A large shopping center with numerous stores, restaurants, etc. BLDG - Lecture Hall Use: BLDG - Generator Building Description: A lecture hall with classrooms and other facilities BLDG - Conference Center Use: BLDG - Generator Building Description: A conference center with meeting rooms and other facilities…

All right, I did a bit more research and I think my earlier request was in error. I also think some versions of the LCS may be armed more heavily than they are supposed to be. The LCS basically comes with the following as its “baseline” combat system… 1x BAE Systems Mk 110 57 mm gun, 400 rounds in turret and two ready service magazines with 240 rounds each.[8] 4x .50-cal machine guns 21x RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile Surface-to-Air Missiles And then it has these two open modules. I’m assuming that the “standard” versions of the Freedom-class and the Independence-class has the two 30 mm. guns (the “surface combat” modules) and the SURTASS version sacr…

A few minor issues with database text... (Sensor) TRS-3D/16 3D <-- this is, I think, a radar system, but is listed as a chaff decoy system in the descriptive text; I suspect this is incorrect (Ship) LCU 1646 (G) <-- Not sure the text is correct; I think this is simply an American LCU, although it may have been exported to Saudi Arabia; perhaps just use the text for the LCU 1610: “American class of landing craft utility vessels” (Ship) LCU 1646 <-- Not sure the text is correct; I think this is simply an American LCU, although it may have been exported to Saudi Arabia; perhaps just use the text for the LCU 1610: “American class of landing craft utility…

Minor correction for ALL of the LCS platforms... It looks like all of them should have, in addition to their currently listed weapons... 4 x 12.7 GPMG 2 x Mk46 30 mm. Bushmaster II The Independence-class has the four machine guns already, but not the two Bushmasters; the Freedom-class variants do not appear to have either yet. (Obviously, one would want not only the weapons added but magazines allowing re-loads, too.) ANW HUD-4 v1.2
