Having watched Last Exile, I have realized several things about the future equipment of my evil minions. First, the whole black and silver theme the Silvana officers had going on was pretty nifty looking. Also, my minions must fly around in those fighters the Guild had. Because, ok. Not only does it fly pretty much wherever it wants to, it can also walk around on land like a spider, or float in water. The only downside is the weaponry. Because, while quad MGs may have been respectable in the whole Sky Captain and the Chivalric Combat of Tomorrow world of Last Exile, or the 1930s, and while I have all confidence in my men's abilities to defeat Tom Cruise in a dogfight, some missiles would go a long way towards the eventuality that I will eventually find myself in beyond visual range fights with F-15s or something.
We will, however, be giving the whole flying battleship thing a miss. Because, honestly, didn't work out so well for anybody. Besides, my forces will have that novel new invention, gunpowder.
Just thought you'd all like to know.
