Missiles and jetpack make her about 20% more badass.

RedCore said...

Now I just have to read this...

*reads*

Power-armored Rainbow Dash? Win potential in this story is high...

RedCore said...

By Celestia, we need some pictures ASAP...

Vander said...

This is epic!
I cant wait for more chapters.
Be sure not to make it short!

This seems a little bit too much like that one fic, the fires of war.

You must construct additional (armor) pylons.

Markeith said...

This sounds as though it could be good...very good..

Am eagerly awaiting more

I've gotta say, while there isn't much here yet, so far this is looking pretty impressive. And I'm not usually one for warfics. I think the fact that you set it several years in the future helped. The other thing that usually steers me away from warfics is the whole "So you're going to attack the country whose rulers are the immortal goddesses of the sun and moon. Wow, great plan there, guys." You, however, managed to wrap that up pretty neatly at the end of this chapter.

Keep it up, dude; let's see where this goes.

This is about 20% than any other Grimdark Pony Fanfics on Equestria Daily.

A Tom Clancy style fiction,with pony?
Well...it's good :D

Good stuff here. Am I the only one getting an Ace Combat vibe off it?

RedCore said...

Hightech ponies in war may sound unfitting at first.
It's not.
I love this.

HOLYHORSEDICKS!

Why would the formatting in the reply button be wrong?!

TenchiFreak5 said...

Well, that certainly explains why Blueblood hasn't taken over the government.

I'm liking this story more and more as I read it. Get a lot of Tom Clancy-ish vibes from it.

For some reason its been borked for a couple of days now. I've just been typing it up by hand.

Banana said...

You have a pretty neat progression going here.

Cheers mate. Keep up the good work.

Eclipse said...

Very nice. Can't wait to see what happens and especially what Applejack and background ponies like Trixie do in the future.

Awesome story so far! Like the small introduction of badass Fluttershy at the end! :D keep getting these out man they rock!

Kenai said...

I'd just like to thank all of those who have provided feedback so far. It's what keeps me going :D

Jim Prower said...

I'm liking the way this is working out. For some reason, I like the technicality of warfics.

Personally, I would have gone with Assault Horizon.

TenchiFreak5 said...

Fluttershy portrayed as a... well, to prevent spoilers I won't put it here, but Fluttershy in this story is pretty damn scary. And yet, it somehow seems to work.

7heSama said...

EXCELLENT.

TenchiFreak5 said...

Patton reference. Yes!



Every time a chapter of this story comes out I have convinced myself that this should not work. And yet, by the end of every chapter I find that it does. Amazing.

Fadhil Anshar said...

And I was just thinking to myself about worldwide wars that would affect Equestria. This one is pretty close to what I've been playing in my own head.

Shimmerstrike said...

Spec Ops Fluttershy is best Fluttershy.

Dam! Love me a good warfic!

Chapter 4 was just.. awesome. A plan that crazy could never work twice, but when it works, hell you get results.

This may help.

Great Warfic here, but personaly my first thought was: "woow, author must have played LOMAC a lot"

Don't He ?

AppleMarineXX said...

So Freaking AWESOME!!!
missiles, bombs, armor, war, PONIES, holy shit, this is good...

Anonymous said...

Someone here played LOMAC a lot.

Kenai said...

Actually, not really. I have the game but I was never able to get it to run at a playable framerate. XD

SkyrimOrBust said...

...Ace Combat 5? The Unsung War?

The Twilight War?


Am I right on the money here?

Anonymous said...

I'm getting a distinct Ace Combat vibe, too.

Anyway, this is great read, and I've been watching it since part 3 came up. I was hoping this would pop up again.

TenchiFreak5 said...

I fucking love this story. What more can be said?

Thornbough said...

I agree on the AC stuff. Archer, and all the other things, it can't be an accident.

Milienius said...

Mother of God where's an update?!
