About a Cobra base... My brother and I had a good conversation last night about Cobra's answer to the Flagg. An Aircraft carrier (or any surface ship) just doesn't work because a satalite could find it - it would just be a matter of time - and then the U.S. Navy would hunt it down and kill it. What's far more useful for Cobra is a huge, nuclear submarine. Obviously it would have to include MARS technology that crossed over into the realm of fantasy, but the basic idea could work pretty well... especially if it included a small flight/landing deck on the top of it. Basically, the top side of this giant sub just needs to be flatened out to allow for small planed and helicopters to land. But if, for example, it could launch Firebats out of tubes like the Terror Drome does, take off becomes much less of an issue.

A mining town would be the only way you could pull off building underground, you'd go in thru the mine and then cut back thru the town. Having a quarry would be a plus, as it would help explain having a ton of heavy equipment. Mine and Quarry, helps explain all the truck traffic all the time.
It's kind of like how I'm setting up the backstory of the Society in my 'Verse. Their goal is to "heal the world". Pretty noble goal. But the means and way they are doing it isn't exactly "good". Cobra needs to have some goal that makes the common trooper go "this is worth fighting and dying for". Would Cobra work as a One-World type organization? Or the complete opposite, abolishment of any set governments or religions?

I think the Pres would get a phone call from Kim "You turn a blind eye to my next nuke test and i'll let you bomb that fleet all you want"

It would have to be political but in such a way that it wouldn't alienate any religion or race.

I think even North Korea would be a little leery about letting a terrorist organization's aircraft carrier and support fleet into their waters uncontested.

But that's all if Cobra is "known". What if they're a secret organization? What then?

ARBCO is known. Cobra is not.
