That is true, will have to think about this, if i can fit it the updates that are still to come ore maybe in the near future. Some Thing like this might work? 1963: after the standoff that was the Cuban Missile Crisis The Dutch Ministry of Defence decides to create a missile defence system for Earth. Project Polderbreeker is presented to the generals. It will consist of one hundred satellites armed with five rapid fire phasers, two micro missile launchers as backup, a fabricator to build more missiles and will be powered by solar panels. The entire system is run by an AI that will respond automatically when it detects the full-scale launch of nuclear missiles. In case of computer failure the process can be started by humans. Polderbreeker is declared operational. One hundred satellites disguised as television and weather satellites are orbiting Earth, keeping constant vigilance against a doomsday scenario. 1983: Reagan declares his intentions to make a missile shield for the US and make MAD obsolete. Privately he turns to the Netherlands, who offer him a very watered down version of Polderbreeker for the low price of 5 million dollar a satellite. 1984: The Netherlands and the US sign a 2 billion dollar deal for delivery on the satellite systems and ground control centres. That could work. |
