It is an open fact about how many IS cores does which nation own.... You can't just falsify data and claim that you actually have 1 core short from the official report

Edit: Unless they claim that it is stolen and Lyon is screwed.

Considering that everybody know that Ichika is the only male IS pilot and probably also the fact that Houki is the only IS pilot with an unclaimed IS core.

Plus considering how precious an IS core is, What are the odds that countries such as China is waiting for such moment to happen? They may have spies implanted in USA to gather discriminatory information so that they can get their hand another America IS core by revealing the "under-table" trade to the rest of the world.

besides,

IS is basically the universe equivalent to a nuke.... there is NO WAY America is willing let an ordinary person have them....

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 09:31

I don't think they need mercenaries, their method of working is intel gathering and sudden strike/ambush.

Blitz might be able to expand the scheme though.

Eratas123 · 2012-03-17, 09:34

So they're more akin to spy organizations?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 09:35

Spy + Covert ops.

At least in the modern incarnation.

Eratas123 · 2012-03-17, 09:40

That's interestig. Does that mean they'd lose in an all out frontline war?

demino_hellsin · 2012-03-17, 09:43

out of all the possible endings. What's the ending you'd expect for Icarus Wings?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 09:45

They don't have enough manpower to fight in a battle of attrition.

Mass Produced I.S. clone might change that though, with each of them being one-woman army against conventional forces. (This is how they breach through the heavily defended [Erased] base in ST)

Though M1R tank crews get medals for their crazy stunt

Eratas123 · 2012-03-17, 09:50

@ Demi - Your decision.

@ Senpai - Approximately, how many operatives do they have? Are they separated by tasks and roles?

Can any bullet damage an IS?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 09:54

@ Demi
I still bet on my own proposal.

@ Eras
Numbering in hundreds.

Nope, small bullets won't do jack.

Eratas123 · 2012-03-17, 09:57

Hundreds? Woah, that's pretty small for a multi country org. How many IS do they have currently?

Woulf it at least distract them?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 10:02

If you count the organization supports them, the number would be hundred thousands, hell, probably millions.

Yes, they would laugh it of.

(Damn plot bunny still nagging me from the afternoon

)

Eratas123 · 2012-03-17, 10:07

Which of them are truly, irredeemably evil?

As long as someone has an IS, they're more resistant even if they don't have the full suit equipped?

What bunny?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 10:14

I can only point individuals, people like Squal or Autum definitely one of them. A good portion of executives too, though some of them are sympathetic/pragmantic.

If we count PIC, yes, they're also more durable, to what extent I don't know.

I reread this thread from page 1 and one improbable bunny slip in.

"What if both female and male can use I.S., albeit the rarity is extremely different, as in: million times rarer or even more"

It'll destroy the very concept of story, apparently.

Eratas123 · 2012-03-17, 10:16

How is Squall pure evil?

Think it'd still stop a regular bullet?

Isn't that the basic plot of just about every male IS pilot fic?

demino_hellsin · 2012-03-17, 10:20

Then what if it were the reverse. What if absolutely no men could pilot the IS? :-?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 10:21

You'll found later.

Stop maybe not, but it'll turn pistol into a peashooter for sure

I mean there's no justification whatsoever, bog-standard male student sent to girl school outnumber them by a factor of 50. (meaning roughly 3 males per year... and that's kinda desperate)

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 10:22

@ Demi
Mai-Otome? Strike Witches? Sky Girls? Hell no.

Eratas123 · 2012-03-17, 10:24

Fine, lets go back to PT. Do they have any uniform, insignia, or anything? Do they have a legal front?

Then that'll make the Laura fight easier

Can you be more specific? I don't realy get it.

@ Demi - No change in canon except Ichika not being there.

ZeroXSEED · 2012-03-17, 10:31

@ Eras
Nope, because seriously, they're evil secret organization, how could you achieve that if you can recognize them from the get go? (except when they're inside I.S., Visor are rarely used nowadays)

Basically returning to when this thread created: I count 4 male OC pilot, and only 4, before I came here. Like Ichika, they have no specific reason (Gender bender, Nanomachine, implant etc), they just did.

@ Demi
Lesbian romantic comedy =_=

demino_hellsin · 2012-03-17, 10:31

for some reason I feel like such a thing would be relevant. Ichika being the only male pilot makes him a shoe in to ISA. Basically the harem comes about because it's a dude shut in the closet with a hundred something girls.

But if all guys were locked out of the closet trying to get in... :-?
