Haha, no one responded to the first one so you had to remake it.

Faggot.

please just post whatever it is you are going to post so that this damn quest can be done and we wont have to see it clogging up the first page anymore.

>>5944857
>>5944859

Silence blasphemers!

Subprocessor is online, and prepared to assist.

ONWWARD, to profit, ale, and supercapital spacecraft!

>>5944857
I'm remaking it at the request of others. I was willing to delay it for a day but apparently other people didn't see the thread I had made.
>>5944859
Relax, it'll be over in less than a week.

Here!

>>5944857
>>5944859
If you don't like, don't read! Its not like its /b/faggotry being spammed all over. Grow the fuck up.

Day 21, Month 3

974132 tons
70868 fuel

+90000 tons/day
+8845 fuel/day

Active Mines: Mothership

Active Pockets: 114

Available Mines: 367

Available Gas Pockets: 191

The following research will be complete on Day 25:
Plasma Hyperweapon
EMP Hyperweapon
Pulse Laser Hyperweapon
Gravity Snatcher Hyperweapon
MK IV Sensors

You still have 3 idle tech. labs remaining.

200 fusion batteries have been created.

The former subcontractors for AlphaRange have arrived on your territory in a 'copter, with their various supplies. More details can be provided if required. They offer you:
Sonic Weaponry Technology
Slave Collar Schematics
Skimmer Technology
Thermal Lance Technology
Homing Missle Technology
Increased Payload Schematics
103942 TONS of metal
92036 UNITS of fuel

Your samplers report increased activity of natives near the gates of the Gurruk Empire.

The New Earth Missions are encroaching on former AlphaRange territory.

>>5944940
Build a base near where New Earth is expanding, two along the border with Lemmington, plus one somewhere in the middle.

Start examining Brain burner tech.

>>5944940
Let's set down a base roughly in the center of AR's former turf.
Let's deploy one carrier and the combat haulers to the Gurruk island, and the other carrier and the Freeman gunners to the pirate island.

Also, let's talk to Joanna and uni-peace. separately.

Let's devote a tech lab to the mysteries of Energy Shielding, also.

Needs more brain vat doctor and ex-greenfag NPC interaction

>>5944993
Something like this.

I much prefer the nation game to this.

>>5944993
Construction of the facilities beginning.
Brain burner technology is still in the crashed spaceship in Gurruk territory.
>>5944995
Jo: "Huh? What is it?"
UP: "Good news, man! Virus has stopped coming! Looks like we won't need to evacuate into your territory after all! ... Although, we still ain't go any idea when any damn dropships are gonna come by."
Moving one carrier to Gurruk, one carrier and two slavers to Pirate Islands.
>>5945008
Commencing.
>>5945012
Albert Sharev: "Mm? Yes, is there something that I can help you with?"

>>5945075
Well then lets go get it. Also, are we sure we've got all possible tech out of it, if not send some drones to nab anything that even looks shiny.

>>5945069
If no one appeared to enjoy this, I would've stopped a long time ago.
Besides, this started just a week or two ago and it's coming to an end. Have some patience and it'll go away.

Joanna -> "Well, your mission here seems to have been completed. We may not have seen eye to eye, but you did help us save everyone on the planet, so... What do you want to do now? Oh, also, do you know what's going to happen to the rest of Uni-peace? because your... replacement totally has no idea."

I got some time before having to hit the sack. To the good doctor Albert:

"So... what exactly do you want to do now? The virus is gone, but Tradestar is going to come check on us at the end of the month. By the way, how do you think they are going to react to us destroying the virus and any schematics related to it?"

>>5945105
Hey, all I'm saying is I miss the nation game.

We have until the end of the month to get our shit together, yeah?

You know, to really make sure all the traces of that virus or the methods to reproduce it are destroyed, we should try to destroy that research facility. After we loot it for all its worth of course.

>>5945104
How many samplers do you want to create to send into there to obtain the technology and what method of movement do you want to give them?
>>5945117
"Well, once the mission was over, I was meant to call in the dropships so that all of the volunteers could be shipped off world again.
"Except since I am in charge of the operation... They kind of need a code I have if they want to get off world."
>>5945118
"I'm not too sure, to be completely honest! I suppose once you get off of this blasted rock I might try and contact my family but until that point, I have no true goal. If you need any assistance with anything of a scientific nature, I will be glad to help."

>>5945177
You've kind of built your typical base complex over the research facility - two construction sites, one storage, one refinery.

>>5945205
How big is it? Could 25 drones get through it in a day or less? Could 5?

>>5945216
oh, well. How's that super computer we found? Was that were we got most the schematics from? And I'm guessing there aren't any more assassin/plasma bots running around any more trying to kill us?

>>5945205
"I'm sure none of them want to be let to rot on this planet... Perhaps a few of them could be, well, 'convinced', to join our cause?

>>5945205
Joanna > "Well, unless you have a particular gripe with someone else here, it seems you might as well send them home."

Dr robotface > "So. Doc. Know anything about shielding tech?"

>>5945232
20 medium samplers is the safest bet.
Samson 70 says:
"They've probably caught on to what we're up to now - they might be much more alert and may be aware of our cloaking shenanigans."

>>5945263
(Who's going to be more aware of our shenanigans? )

Let us construct more harvesters and haulers, and fill up all available gas pockets / mines. Lets also get any idle samplers to search for more...

>>5945263
Ok, twenty cloaked drones (The type that Samson designed) with whatever equipment they might to to extract stuff, and lasers for defense. Make a transport drone to take them there, VTOL. Can they get in the same way we got out?

>>5945263
SHENANIGANS!

Also, I suspect that the assassin bot wing is activately creating more assassin bots as we kill them. So why don't we form a attack squad and blow a hole into that wing to stop them?

IM BACK IN THE GAME!

I'll run down a schematic for a ship in a minute.

>>5945243
No. The brain had hacked into the local mainframe and had produced a defensive system for itself and was able to control the drones
You can destroy all remaining data on the machines in the research facility. Do you wish to do this?
>>5945252
>>5945253
Jo: "Well... I suppose they could be. I mean, despite the fact that you originally came here to defile the planet, you've helped the world more than you've harmed it. You're far more efficient than Uni-Peace ever was. I guess some of them might feel the same way about you the way I do, while most might not. You thinking of employing some of them?"
>>5945253
Dr. AS: "Eh, not my speciality, but I know a few things. What are you interested in, kinetic or energy?"

Well, I figure if we try to make a mark for survival, we could try going for one massive ship, or several mediums sized ones.

Massive Ship:

1,000,000 TONS Cargo Space
250,000 UNITS Fuel Tank
100 Persons Living Space
100 Synth Space
10 Onboard Construction Facilities
300 Locomotion Slots
150 Weapon Slots
2 Examination Facilities
25 Hyperweapon Slots
2 Onboard Tech. Labs
2 Onboard Heavy Construction Facilities
5x Reinforced Plating (also with kinetic and energy shields when we have them, as well as radiation shielding, which we NEED to develop. Also, cloaking technology.)
4 FTL Engine Slot

Smaller ship:

500,000 TONS Cargo Space
100,000 UNITS Fuel Tank
50 Persons Living Space
50 Synth Space
5 Onboard Construction Facilities
100 Locomotion Slots
50 Weapon Slots
1 Examination Facilities
10 Hyperweapon Slots
1 Onboard Tech. Labs
1 Onboard Heavy Construction Facilities
2x Reinforced Plating (also with kinetic and energy shields when we have them, as well as radiation shielding, which we NEED to develop. Also, cloaking technology.)
1 or 2 FTL Engine Slot

>>5945363
To Jo. "We don't need useless lackies. Someone with any kind of skill could be useful."

>>5945363
(We have kinetic shielding researched to maximum, right? if not, add to research list.)

"Energy Shielding. We were thinking of taking a little jaunt in our own personal supercapital ship, and we'd like to make sure no-one blows it up."

>>5945363
the brain could have made a synthetic copy of itself in the mainframe or some other kind of crazy shenanigans. I say we take a good look at the research facilities systems and if any of them seem tapered with, or have information that could be used to recreate the brain or the virus, I say we destroy it.

>>5945373
Also, can I get some input on this? If we're going to build any ships, we'll need to get some details decided on. We can choose the particular weapons once the hard details are chosen.

Also, Plasma, what's the progress on our Plan B clones from Lemmington?

>>5945304
You don't have combat-sampler hybrids. That's Lemmington's territory.
Also, it is possible but they also might've discovered the silo gate as well.
>>5945289
>>5945307
S70: "The monkeys."
>>5945307
Assassin drones are no longer operational - the brain was controlling them.
>>5945301
Samplers are already searching but producing harvester-hauler combination for gas pockets.

>>5945444
Oh, yeah. Well 20 sampler drones and 5 with lasers for defense.

>>5945436
Going beyond that, I say we take any research/schematic data we could use, save for any dangerous shit ala the nanites and central brain.

Scan scan scan the data we take. Have Samson look through it with his super speedy robot language to double and triple and quadruple check it.

Erase everything else.

ALSO. Since we have more than 1 Samson in action right now, deactivate the one that we started up for the missile attack. If he objects, EMP him. We don't need any crazy SHENANIGANS.

Oh yeah. almost forgot. Send some samplers to what was the MSM area, see if there's anything left at all we could reverse-engineer.

>>5945363
"With the right technology and policies, I don't see why mining and a certain degree of environmental preservation have to be mutually exclusive. Perhaps those of your former organization who are wise enough to recognize and would be willing to work with us towards this would prove useful additions to our conglomerate.

>>5945373
Let's remember that first we have to build the ship, and then we load it up with cargo.

>>5945405
Jo: "We had a few reverse-engineers but I think you killed or enslaved the majority of them on your raid. We might still have some left."
>>5945418
"There's a little problem with that. We're still trying to create shields that you can't fire into but that you can fire out of. So, for example, if you design a shield to block the wavelength of a laser, it'll block your lasers as well.
"In any case, energy shields can be made to prevent heat transfer to anything on the other side of the shield and they can be specified to block certain wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum. What wavelengths would you like this energy shield to block?"
>>5945436
It does have all the information and research data on the brain and the virus saved.
>>5945438
Your clones should be ready by Day 23.
>>5945459
Constructing.
>>5945460
S70: "Understood."
S70-2: "Now wait just a minuuuu-" Deactivated. He won't like you that much for that.
>>5945484
Updates will come tomorrow.
>>5945528
Jo: "You're absolutely right! I'm sure that I could convince some of our more valuable members to favour this cause."

Begin research into Thermal Lance and Homing Missile super weapons and upgrades.
>>5945373
And let's just get the mothership up and running first

>>5945373
Calculating costs.

>>5945597
>It does have all the information and research data on the brain and the virus saved.

DELETE DELETE DELETE

>>5945608
Homing missle isn't so much a weapon as it is an upgrade.

Your missles can now home in and follow targets rather than only hit specified locations.

>>5945615
The data is deleted rather violently by Samson 70. All useful information has already been extracted, according to him and it's time to remove any trace of possible recreation for the brain.

>>5945597
"Let's start with trying to keep out standard lasers, as they're TradeStar's favorite."

Plasma, can we please have a list of the weapons we've super- and hyper-sized?

Should we construct some more superheavy construction facilities?
To speed up the inevitable spaceship construction?

And also, let us mine some gas and metals! We must have discovered tons of pockets and mines, right?

>>5945688
I think we should make more Construction drones, and have them make Bot Production facilities all over the place
That way we could get Harvesters and Haulers into EVERYTHING.
..
EVERYTHING.

>>5945688
Yes.
How many do we have right now?

>>5945373
Massive ship:
165875 TONS and 331750 UNITS to create.
331750 UNITS per day to maintain.

It will take 664 fusion batteries to reduce the units-per-day to 0.

>>5944940
Who's that in the brown and dark green?

Sweet, made it in time!

Can you stack homing upgrades along with cloaking missile upgrades?

>>5945726
How long will it take us to make that amount of batteries if we prioritized it in our build queue?

>>5945722
9 Heavy Construction Facilities.

>>5945726
Mother.... we'd best get mining some fuel and making some fucking batteries...

>>5945757
9?
That's no good, we need like 50!
Construct Construction bots everywhere, have every construction bots that aren't occupied make more Heavy Constructor Facilities!

>>5945739
Brown is Core Mining Inc. we had a chat, they're decent enough. We've promised to keep off each other's turf.

Green is Nebula Estates, real estate mongers with fuckawesome robots. Their contact is unusually chipper, and they seem to have no need for us.

>>5945753
It's not the build time, more accurate, the resources which you lack.

Building those remaining 464 batteries will cost...

232,000 units

Can we get some stats on available gas pockets?

We need to start mining that, pronto.
Let's fire up our construction facilities and start pumping the heaviest possible harvesters and haulers that can mine from pockets...

>>5945788
Units of fuel I take it? Dang, need more harvesters, and to trade for fuel.

>>5945788
>>5945784
Contact CMI, and ask if they're interested in trading gas for metals.

What happened to the fuel supply in the mothership? Shouldn't we have free reign over that, ever since centauri were wiped out?

How much will it take to max out each Mine and Pocket? (In time and materials (Or rather do we have enough right now?)

Now, any further demands or do you mind if I advance to the next day, where there should be all sorts of things ready by?

>>5945858
fire it up.

>>5945858
Max out harvesters for gas harvesting purposes, I suppose. Really, we just need to start massively ramping up our harvesting to build this sucker.

>>5945858
More Bot Construction Facilities!
More!
So we can make more harvesters and Haulers and get more Gas!

>>5945797
>>5945825
Putting harvester production to the max.

Ok, Plasma, that first major ship seems a bit beyond our means. How about something more to this scale?

500,000 TONS Cargo Space
100,000 UNITS Fuel Tank
75 Persons Living Space
25 Synth Space
5 Onboard Construction Facilities
100 Locomotion Slots
50 Weapon Slots
1 Examination Facilities
10 Hyperweapon Slots
1 Onboard Tech. Labs
1 Onboard Heavy Construction Facilities
2x Reinforced Plating also with our maxed kinetic and energy shielding, once we get it all developed. Hopefully also with our cloaking tech, and definitely our best sensors.
2 FTL Engines.

>>5945896
Thanks mate.

Also, sorry for making you do all this math.

How about contacting CMI?

brb noms. 20-30 minutes.

Also, I have an idea for a weapon to develop.

The Jericho system.
The additional payload that the AR boys brought.
Homing from the AR boys.
Cloaked.

Could we develop these together into a hyperweapon?

Ok, so I've got this:
100000 TONS Cargo Space
25000 UNITS Fuel Tank
40 Persons Living Space 5
100 Synth Space
50 Locomotion Slots
15 Weapons Slots
30 Fusion Batteries
2 Onboard Construction Facility
4 Onboard Examination Facility
5 Hyperweapon Slot
1 Onboard Tech. Lab
1 Onboard Heavy Construction Facility
2X Reinforced Plating
2 FTL Engine Slot
2 Hangers
110 Fusion Batteries

Also, I did the math; tell me if you spot any errors I made:

19 x 125 = 2375
4 x 125 = 500
3 x 125 = 375
48 x 250 = 12000
13 x 250 = 3250
125
250
5 x 500 = 2500
500
500
2 x 500 = 1000
2 x 500 = 1000
2 x 500 = 1000

25375 TONS

19 x 250 = 4750
4 x 250 = 1000
3 x 250 = 750
48 x 500 = 24000
13 x 500 = 6500
250
500
5 x 1000 = 5000
1000
1000
2 x 1000 = 2000
2 x 1000 = 2000
2 x 1000 = 2000

52750 UNITS - (110 x 500) = -2250

God damn I always forget everything I want to mention.

Since Samson was the one to check the brain AI, let's check his system for infection by it.

>>5945973
I'm not sure he actually interested with the brain, but do it.

>>5945956
I'm too lazy to do all the math.

But let's double the weapon capacity and locomotion.

And make sure to have enough fusion batteries to power it completely in normal flight.

Day 22, Month 3

1,064,132 tons
88,748 fuel

+90000 tons/day
+17980 fuel/day

Active Mines: Mothership

Active Pockets: 177

Available Mines: 373

Available Gas Pockets: 133

Core Mining Inc. is offering an exchange rate of 1 ton for 3 units.

Joanna is sending calling in the dropships to ship out the Uni-Peace folk.

The Gurruk Empire appears to be preparing for war - also, your tech' collection guys are ready to roll.

One carrier is by the Gurruk Empire, one is by the Pirate Isles with two slavers.

Your samplers in former-MSM territory have uncovered nothing - although Lemmington's have appeared to.

Researching Thermal Lance Superweapon
Researching Anti-Laser Energy Shield
Researching Starship
Finishing Date: Day 26

>>5945956
Oh, wow. I totally miscalculated for construction and examination facilities.

I think the speed calc for ships was (total weight/(locomotion x 2)) but I can't remember.

If that's the case, then the ship Sang suggested would have a speed rating of: 253.75

And I think that was kind of average if not slow. We should definitely double, triple, or quad that.

>>5946036
Lets roll our troops in and prep for a preemptive strike on those monkeys. Move our remaining army to the edge of our territory line with them - along with our carrier and its lovely heat copters. We don't need slaves anymore, Alpha is gone, so lets burn em off the face of the map.

>>5946036
>>5945942

Can I get a ruling on my weapon proposal?

Also, cloak our units and get some recon on the apes.

If it looks like hostilities are imminent, begin taking them out with extreme prejudice once they leave their city. Try to keep them trapped within the walls.

I think if they start marching on us, napalm saturation is the key.

>>5946089
No capture and gas as we want the ship to be intact along with the doctor and the tech. AS once we capture we could always dump them in the middle of the ocean or some other island we are not using.

>>5946069
Tonnage/(Loco-slot number * 2.5) was what I finally decided was balanced.

The locomotion type you fit in changes things a lot though.

For example:
Propulsion Thrusters are incredibly slow in atmosphere, hovering requires no fuel and increase the speed category by one.
Ionic Engines decrease the speed category by half BUT they also half fuel requirement.

>>5946113
We might need to make some more missiles first, but as it stands our high tech combat force should be more than enough - one carrier should be able to wipe em out. Can we send some high flying cloaked scouts in?

Any word on gas in the mothership?

Actually, for ships.

We should make a really big one, or some smaller sized ones for intimidation purposes.

HOWEVER.

We should make a very modest sized, if not several super small, super fast, super stealthy ones for ourselves.

Small, fast, EXTREMELY stealthy. Cloaked. Hopefully, if things go badly, TradeStar focuses on the bigger one(s) and doesn't notice us in our small cruisers as we make our escape. We could put out clones in the big ship as the diversion.

>>5946132
It turns out Centauri Synthetics got a pretty bad deal because when the ship crashed and when you shot at the thrusters and the engine, you kind of ignited a lot of fuel.
>>5946123
That's meant to say "decrease the speed category by one."

>>5946036
Oh, have we started researching additional armor protection methods besides our one basic armor type and our shield?

>>5946128
Sure.

They appear to be throwing themselves into a war frenzy. Even the starving chimps and apes are dancing and thrashing and preparing for war, even though they look like they'll collapse at any moment.

Tens of thousands of them are also carrying around buckets of sand from the beaches, chucking the dust all over the floor.

>>5946172
You can build an additional tech. lab to research lead plating or reflective plating or ceramic plating or whatever plating you build like. Currently, all tech. labs are occupied.

>>5946213
Lets. Our constructors are doing little else, yes?

Superweapons: Lightning, Gamma, Plasma, EMP, Pulse Laser, Gravity Snatcher, Missle, Ramming Spike, Defensive Spikes

Hyperweapons: Lightning, Impaler
>>5946113
Yes, that is a potential hyperweapon

>>5946193
Start hitting them with everything we've got.

And by that, I mean things that will neutralize them, but not harm the ship.

Wide area saturation. Get the most out of commission as possible.

Set up several lines of VTOL drones, cloaked, ready to get any that escape the mass slaughter.

>>5946213
Well, in that case, I'd like to see 3 more tech labs to speed this up - any other input from my fellow subcontractors?

>>5946036
Send in the tech collection guys, as stealthily as possible.

(I completely forgot today was my birthday, holyshit).

>>5946213
How long would radiation shielding take to research?

Research it ASAP.

>>5946258
Can we research something involving the use of miniature gravity snatchers as a shield-like weapon, able to repel incoming projectiles around the ship?

>>5946302
Instead of a superweapon, you can put a battery of normal weapons in a weapon slot.

In other words, instead of a Freeman gun, you could have a hundred gravity guns dedicated to stopping projectiles. Wouldn't be good for much else, though.

>>5946323
Stopping projectiles is perfect. Lets put it into action when we build the ship.

Ok, fixed it.

19 x 125 = 2375
4 x 125 = 500
3 x 125 = 375
48 x 250 = 12000
13 x 250 = 3250
2 x 125 = 250
4 x 250 = 1000
5 x 500 = 2500
500
500
2 x 500 = 1000
2 x 500 = 1000
2 x 500 = 1000

26250 TONS

19 x 250 = 4750
4 x 250 = 1000
3 x 250 = 750
48 x 500 = 24000
13 x 500 = 6500
2 x 250 = 500
4 x 500 = 2000
5 x 1000 = 5000
1000
1000
2 x 1000 = 2000
2 x 1000 = 2000
2 x 1000 = 2000

54500 UNITS - (110 x 500) = -500

Here's a little diagram of my small escape ship plan.

If/when TradeStar confronts us, we've got that big ass ship up there to distract them. We put our clones onboard, already dead, or braindead, or whatever. That way if the ship is blown down, we're dead in TradeStar's eyes.

But really, we're in the smaller ships, cloaked to the max, and hiding either around the moons or on the opposite side of the planet.

Also, we should boobytrap our HQ's and the TradeStar bunker in case we have to abandon the planet.

>>5946274
Another tech. lab could be built for this.

Also, since you're in the process of inventing an energy shield, you can also design the shield so it also blocks high frequency rays - like gamma rays.

And since you're also dedicated to blocking out lasers, it also blocks out a portion of the spectrum. No red light will be able to go through the shield. Essentially, this will render your sensors partially colour-blind.

Alright, how about we trade 80 - 100 k metals for gas, then produce the requisite number of fusion batteries?

>>5946385
>>5946385
Color blindness, I don't know if that would be a good idea.

100000 TONS Cargo Space
25000 UNITS Fuel Tank
40 Persons Living Space
100 Synth Space
60 Locomotion Slots
15 Weapons Slots
30 Fusion Batteries
2 Onboard Construction Facility
4 Onboard Examination Facility
5 Hyperweapon Slot
1 Onboard Tech. Lab
1 Onboard Heavy Construction Facility
2X Reinforced Plating
2 FTL Engine Slot
2 Hangers
125 Fusion Batteries

With this, we get a speed rating of fast (actual number is 191.66...) for a cost of 28750 TONS and 59500 UNITS of Fuel.

>>5946438
We need more speed.

>>5946438
Wait until we get better tech first mate. And we need more cargo to haul some ore along with us - don't want to leave the planet empty handed now, do we?

>>5946438
We can go alot bigger than that ...

>>5946423
That's the problem if you design an energy shield that blocks out practically anything and everything, like the one around the brain.

On one hand, nothing gets in, nothing comes out.

On the other hand, an energy shield that prevents heat from passing through the shield and that stops every frequency in the damn EM spectrum basically renders all of your ships sensors useless and its communication useless.

>>5946451
Day 1 Month 1 we had 100 TONS of Heavy Metal, look what we did, 100000 is plenty of freakin' metal.

Here's the speed chart for reference.

Tonnage / (Locomotion Number * 2.5) = Speed Rating

>>5946466
So we go with multiple protective armor layers and basic-ish shields.

>>5946463
We can yeah, but It start getting a lot less cost efficient, we're already using more than half our currently produced Fusion Batteries.

Remember, at this point this is a back up plan for if we NEED to get off this rock.

>>5946501
We will NEED to when they come, see that we deleted their tech they SENT us to find, and then BLOW US OFF THIS ROCK!

>>5946466
Can we have one that blocks things selectively?

Because that could be pretty useful in emergencies.

>>5946495
Also, for reference:

Propulsion Thruster:
-100
Ionic Thruster:
+100

That's why I included a less-than-zero option.

In any case!

Do you guys agree with the plan to attack the monkeys?

>>5946438
NEEDS MORE DAKKA.

Yeah, leaving the planet is a back up plan.

IDEALLY, I think we should try to scrape by for another month.

We should make the island look like the plague is still active.

>>5946515
Yeah.

For example, currently the energy shield you're designing blocks out lasers, but the disadvantage is that you can't fire lasers or pulse lasers and that it renders your sensors partially colour-blind.

>>5946530
I doubt we can bluff them mate.

>>5946519
Attack plan.

Get an attack group cloaked at their temple. HIGH ALTITUDE TO ESCAPE ANY ATTACKS OF THEIRS.

Get a few VTOL lines outside of their temple to prevent escape.

The attack force bombards them with lethal weapons, gasses, gamma, etc; things that won't damage the ship.

The VTOL lines patrol the perimeter and pick off any other monkeys.

>>5946541
Can we have multiple shield systems able to be activated independently? Like for example, we activate the laser proof one if they are shooting lasers and we missiles, or we can turn on one that blocks out radiation and shoot lasers?

>>5946566
A multi-tiered shielding system.

I like it.

>>5946566
Let's see if we can't grab some of the primates and give them to NEM. cash isn't much out here, but we didn't get to where we are by squandering resources.

Also, buzz Lemmington, see if they'll say what they got.

>>5946566
Yes, but these have to be researched independently too.
Also, each kinetic and energy shield takes up a weapon slot on your ship.
>>5946555
Who agrees with this?

>>5946584
LP: "Hello, gentlemen! How can we help you on this fine day?"

>>5946587
Let's start with non-lethal. We can always escalate. Other than that, yes.

>>5946609
"BTW, make sure the clones are braindead. Empty shells."

>>5946587
A regular weapon slot or a hyper weapon slot - and would we need more than one kinetic shield to cover the entire ship or block all instances of physical attacks?

As for the money attack plan, I say lets go ahead and shred them - we can bag and tag any of them knocked out by the gas - with that many natives, we should have SOME leftover after we burn 'em.

>>5946609
"Just checking in, making sure the clones aren't horribly mutated or anything. Also, we were wondering if you guys managed to pick anything out of the hole in the ground the Martians made, we didn't have much luck with it. We're always in the market for more tech, ya know!"

>>5946609
"We'd like to know what tech you can offer us for any sort of trade?"

If you guys want to go non lethal with the monkeys, then do that at the main temple.

But kill any that escape the perimeter with our VTOL lines.

Was the faction that had the good androids wanted slaves? See if they are willing to buy some if they are in that business.
Couldn't we just research a shield that has a variable setting to allow for control of which energy type it blocks out?

>>5946687
A variable range energy shield sounds good.

>>5946638
Weapon slot. A single shield covers the entire ship.

As for your raid, you're starting with the various gases. The various primates become aware of a distant hum slowly draw closer and closer - and then the gas falls and the gas begins to spread. Those not yet engulfed by the gas however, take advantage of it. Dozens of them scream and point at where the rising clouds are disturbed by the intakes of your VTOL drones and they begin to throw stones. Small rocks and larger rocks, the majority of which rattle through the intakes harmlessly. But then, some get jammed, disturbing the process, a handful of drones falling from the heavens and crashing. More and more stones are being thrown, the air full of gas and rock. The stupid monkeys are actually inflicting some damage on your drones, throwing the sand they collected up into the air to help spot the cloaked drones.

This is the last bastion of the natives - and they're not about to go down without a fight.

>>5946700
Burn the fuckers.

>>5946700
>>5946555
>Get an attack group cloaked at their temple. HIGH ALTITUDE TO ESCAPE ANY ATTACKS OF THEIRS.

>>5946711
They have rocks dude, rocks fly at any altitude.

>>5946700
Uplifting never ends well, does it?
Let us put an end to their misbegotten kind, have the carrier launch all the drones and start shooting at anything not passing out.

huh. we should have brought kinetic shields.
What do you guys think about making a drone that just has a shield on it, which protects the formation of VTOL fighters it's assigned to?

>>5946643
>>5946645
LP: "Well... We've got something, I admit it. However, it's not something we're willing to trade at the moment. This is a rare sample of Martian technology that could truly revolutionize this company - by Jove, it could revolutionize how energy is handled in the entire Terilian Sovereignty!"
He seems very excited, almost giddy about the latest discovery.
>>5946687
"Hello, this is Nebula Estates and I... am afraid we're not in the business of exchanging employees at this moment in time. However, if you have any land that you wish to sell, then perhaps we can come to an agreement!"

>>5946753
"Nebula, what tech would you like to offer for some land grants?"

And lets get some fully cloaked and shielded small scout drones into LP territory - spies if you will - I'd like to know that tech, and if necessary, we can fight them for it.

>>5946753
"You owe us. Listen, we saved your asses, more than once. We're not a big time company. Grant us access to this tech, and we'll call it all even."

>>5946711
As well as throwing rocks from various heights, they've developed slings and even highly primitive trebuchets.
Besides, by the temple, I thought you meant the forces by the ziggurat, while these are the forces that are engaging the ground forces in the more forward area of the Gurruk Empire.

>>5946772
Fuck it. If it comes down to it, I'll go in with my stealth suit. Scout the situation.

>>5946753
Have we mined out any regions of the map?
If we've mined out a region of the map, we can send it over to Nebula estates.

>>5946753
@ LP > try to manipulate him into saying too much. i'd like to know what they've found without asking outright.

@ NE > "Sorry, one of our associates got the comm codes mixed up. We might actually have some land we won't be needing soon, we'll call you if the situation goes that way."

It was the New Earth Missions that wanted natives to "enlighten". they offered us cash, which isn't super useful to us, but it's something.

>>5946781
Whatevah.

In that case, with forces far away from the downed space ship, revert to full lethality. Fire, napalm, mass area of effect weaponry.

Preventing damage to our own forces preempts capturing slaves.

>>5946791
I think we should keep the entirety of our territory if we plan on claiming this planet.

>>5946812
We would be crushed by TradeStar mate - we need to book it ASAP.

>>5946820
Which is why we've got the clones coming, and hopefully some starships built soon.

>>5946801
Crap wrong company. Well it could be useful if we are leaving the planet. But it really depends on what currency and where we plan to go to after we leave. Ask them if we could trade for tech or something. But I think combat drugs are not all that useful to us.

>>5946839
If we leave, we should stick to the brown space area. Book it to some uncivilized planet and set up shop.

>>5946753
"What's it like in the Tellirian Sovereignty? How diverse are the peoples? What rights do you have? What's the culture like? What Languages are spoken? Who's the head honcho? What'd you find? What planet do you come from? Are you married? Do you have any children? What's life like for you Tellirians?"

All of course, very quickly asked.

>>5946772
NE: "We can offer you the ultimate in synthetic humanoids - more human than humanity itself! They're completely artificial, but they're just like you and me! We're also offering combination of combat drones and construction drones, to help construct new housing in slightly more dangerous areas, for the more adventerous house-owner!"
>>5946801
>>5946776
LP: "Listen - I understand that if it wasn't for your help, this planet would be lost and we would probably be lost with it. But this is something that goes beyond this world. I'm afraid I am quite a patriot and this technology... In exchange for it, the Terilian Emperor could grant me an entire system! If we give you access to this technology, it'll eventually be in the hands of everyone, making it worthless! I am sorry but at the moment, this technology is priceless. We're shipping this sample off to be examined before the month is over."

>>5946910
We...we can't let this happens guys. looks like we're going to have to demolish Lemmington. Too bad, so sad.

>>5946910
@ lemmy > "That's your choice. But for what we've done for you, can you at least tell us what it is?"

>>5946910
Hrm...
HE: We are interested in yor products, can you give us a full list?

I vote that we prepare to attack LP - they've been good for us, but any tech that can help us power our ship better needs to be ours. We need to get off this rock in a hurry.

>>5946944
We'll have to hit them hard and fast. Get in to their main base and get that tech, just to guarantee they don't destroy it just so we don't get our hands on it.

>>5946944
We have better things to do that go to war with a long standing trade partner. Our focus should be on either getting out of here or getting rid of the Tradestar boss that wants us dead. And I second on just giving us an idea on what it is. A name would suffice.

>>5946944
We can't just betray lemmington!

What's our diplomatic situation with Uni-peace and the New earth whatsits?

>>5946839
NEM: "We're willing to exchange some basic enlightening equipment in exchange for natives - brain-burners, mind control devices and so on, as well as these combat drugs."
>>5946900
"... It's a sovereignty. Everyone's born into a lifestyle and it's difficult to escape it - which is very nice when you're the son of a baron like I am. I'm to inherit three space stations upon his death, you know. It's a very feudal system and so many others look upon us as primitive but really, no other nation can boast the organization that we have! Besides, since we control how much lands our serfs and the peasants take up, we've got plenty of land that can be shovelled into this new technology to be converted into energy! Meanwhile you, you've got barely any spare territory to boast about at all! You need everything you've got. Honestly, this technology would be worthless to you."

>>5946981
If what he's saying is true, we might be able to do away with all the Fusion Batteries we have to build which would be super awesome!

>>5946974
An army of cloaked droids with flamethrowers and gamma rays should make short work of their mostly clone forces.

>>5946910
"If that's how you want to play this, fine. But once you've got this developed, if we're still alive, you'll owe us access to it."

Get my stealth suit ready. Advance the cloaking and sensors to the best that we've got. Include any kind of spy tech we've got. Distance microphones and the like. Maybe include a link in my suit to Samson for hacking, or if he wants he can come to.

Would it be possible to use our grav tech in the suit for aid in infiltration? Also, if we've got it developed, an integrated kinetic shield, and some stunning technology.

It's time for some espionage.

>>5947007
>>5946981
>>5946974
>>5946944

We should try this espionage angle first.

>>5947010
Probe Teams.

Hey, if we ship Natives over to New Earth, we can get their mind control devices for use in our probe teams. :D

>>5946997
A name would still be nice. And stop trying to go to war, we don't even know what it is. Mind control from the Missionaries sounds interesting. And can we get a product list from the land renovator people?

>>5947043
You forget that they are lobotomies there is no mind to control - gamma rays will be fine.

You know, TradeStar still has a few techs that we don't. since we're booking it anyway, I say we rip them off for every single tech they've got on offer.

>we've got plenty of land that can be shovelled into this new technology to be converted into energy!

sounds like antimatter tech. do want.

As soon as you go full lethal inside the Gurruk Empire territory, shit goes haywire. As the gamma rays spread, the irradiated monkeys drop the irradiated earth, twitching and groaning. Thousands of them die and collapse, flames spread everywhere, lasers burn into their flesh as your drones move higher and further away, out of throwing distance. Slowly but surely, you're culling the natives, exterminating them. Genocide, really.
Best keep this information away from Joanna.

But, Lemmington espionage - who is up for joining Archer?

Subcontractor Supernova signing off for the night - have fun guys.

>>5947084
It should definitely be a small group. Less likely to raise an alarm.

>>5947054
Nebula Estates sells:
Drone Material Type - Synthetic Flesh.
"Secretary" AI.
"Planner" AI.
"Geologist" AI.
Mobile habitats.
Super habitats.
Combat-constructor hybrids.
Ration Synthesizers

New Earth Missions sells:
Brain-burner schematics
Mind-alteration device schematics
Hallucigen schematics
Combat drug schematics
Transmutation nanite schematics
Sampler-hauler hybrids

>>5947166
more info on all the new techs please. also a list of what TradeStar still have on sale.

>>5947166
Let's get the brain-burner from them so we don't have to research it ourselves.

Also, i'll pass on backstabbing Lemmington. Sudden greedy streak or no, we have bro points with them, and we don't really need whatever they found.

Has the activity level really dropped this much?

So long as we're multitasking, what's going on at the pirate islands?

>>5947189
Synthetic flesh drones are much more fragile - but much more human. They make for very effective spies and you can basically manufacture doppelgangers of individuals.
The Secretary AI is an intelligent but highly restricted sentient AI. Basically used for taking care of its owner and managing communications for its owner.
The Planner AI is even more restricted - and even more intelligent. It optimally plans out every single detail, accounting for every tiny little flaw and every possible thing that could go wrong.
The Geologist AI is the ultimate AI when it comes to maximum efficiency in construction.
Mobile habitats are habitats capable of moving between locations.
Super habitats can house a thousand instead of two hundred.
Ration synthesizers manifest basic rations and basic food.

Transmutation nanites can be programmed to transform one type of material into another - for example, metal into rust, iron into gold, water into wine, etc, etc.
The rest you know.

Gargantua Schematics - 15000 TONS
Attack Platform Schematics - 20000 TONS

>>5947259
Lots of angry infighting. You stranded them there, now they're trying to survive.

Continue with the genocide at Gurruk? What percentage of the monkeys do you want to set to be captured?

Archer, choose how many drones you want to take with you and what weapons you want to take.

Transmutation nanites. This get this. This should be on the very next tech we get. The Geologist AI looks very promising.

>>5947287
Grab the pirates with the Freeman colossi, we'll sell them to NEM.

Also, let's cut back on the genocide a bit. Try to keep upwards of 50% of the primates alive... we'll sell them to NEM, too.

>>5947287
I'll take three drones with me. Each equipped with one lethal and one non lethal weapon. Stun and lightning, I figure.

We're only going to find information. We don't want to kill anyone. But we aren't going in defenseless.

Ration synths would be nice to have when we get the damn ship running. Planner AI could also come in handy down the road.

How much does Nebula want for this stuff?

>>5947325
Damn, toss in some EMP beams with that.

>>5947335
Planners are really just probability calculators that go down the safest route.
As for what they want - give them an offer of land, and they'll say yes or no.
>>5947322
Understood.
>>5947340
Understood and done. You have 3 drones and yourself, all stealthed, all with personal kinetic shields, stun guns, lightning guns and EMP guns. You're pretty heavily weighed down - but you can walked with all that stuff, just about.
Depart or change selection?

>>5947387
Offer NE the pirate islands. :D

>>5947387
We swap out my stun with EMP, and one drone's stun with EMP. The others only have stun and lightning.

My plan will be to go to Lemmington's HQ. Myself and two drones will be uncloaked. The third drone will be cloaked. Or better yet, it should be Samson, if he'd do it. I will ask to inspect first hand the progress on the clones. If they let me in, the drone/Samson should use the time to snoop around. If not, we'll retreat back, cloak, and try to sneak in if it seems feasible.

I'll bring with me a case of the booze to give as a gift.

>>5947387
Could we try exploring the island chains and try selling it to the Nebula Estates? Say it is beachfront property or something. And remember those transmutation nanites are the best thing we could get our hands on.

>>5947404
"Very valuable, very exotic seaside property - however, the area is very small. For this reason, we're willing to exchange one piece of technology in exchange for the rights to the islands."

>>5947429
Are the nanites reusable?

>>5947449
this is Nebula we're talking at. They don't carry the nanites.

I vote for the ration dispenser. I'm a robot, apparently, but the rest of you probably don't want to get hungry in space.

>>5947449
No. They are consumed in the chemical process that takes place.

The water-with-nanites just turns into plain old wine.
>>5947418
Very well. The cloaked drone will go with stun and lightning and it will be Samson 70.

You arrive in a VTOL transport. The Lemmington representitives appear rather shocked and surprised to see you and they show no lack of caution as you approach the facility, with Samson being cloaked.
"Yes, sir? Is there something that we can help you with?"

>>5947493
Oh damn, you're right. Maybe the planner AI or synthetic flesh would be best then.

>>5947427
>>5947493
God damn I just failed at reading comprehension. Capture as many natives as we can to sell to New Earth for the Nanites.

>>5947499
(Archer. Hold out the booze. apologize for snapping. claim to want to victory party.)

>>5947499
We could always reverse engineer the nanites or trade for the schematics to make them.

>>5947499
Have one of the drones present the case of booze to them. "A gift for you. Appreciation of all you've done for us during our time here. Now, down to business. As you know, TradeStar isn't going to be pleased to find how we've handled the nanobots. These clones you're producing for us, they may be our last resort. It's imperative that they are absolutely perfect. For this reason, I insist that I must inspect their progress. I hope not to offend you and the work that you do. You're masters of your art, but these are our lives, and we aren't willing to leave it to chance."

>>5947562
The representitive, Jeremy Fimbledale, nods and motions for one of his entourage, a young maid girl who is obviously a lobotomy, to retrieve the case. He listens to you as you speak and he nods in satisfaction - he seems to be rather pleased with the situation and he is perfectly understanding.
"Of course, I understand - come on in, you're free to oversee the process. However, you haven't quite specified what you wish to have done to their minds, if anything. Any particular lobotomy? Any implanted thoughts?"

i'm out of thoughts for this day unless something drastic happens with any of our devious plots. have fun, Archer, and don't get your sorry ass caught. Lemmy's 'decontaminant' does horrible things to meat.

>>5947618
I'll play things close to the chest.

>>5947609
"In all honesty Jeremy, if we have to use these, they'll be to fake our deaths so that TradeStar won't look for us. Hopefully that is, Ha ha ha." Really ham it up with the laughter. Have the drones and Samson make note of security and entry procedures as we go in.

"Realistically, we want these things to appear completely normal. No obvious signs of them being artificially created. That means full brains, nothing snipped out. But no activity. Vegetables. Catch my drift?" We'll probably be sharing some of this fine fine booze by now, so I'll clink my glass with his.

>>5947618
We did research improved kinetic shields, which should theoretically block any movement of matter even down to a chemical level. That said, I don't know that our personal shields have that level of sophistication.

Regarding the choice of technology, I'm inclined to get a planner AI. It could be invaluable- basically, it sounds to me like GM advice on whatever topic we tell it to plan for.

Also, you guys, I miss a few hours of quest and you genocide the monkeys because they smashed a few drones? Don't you think genocide is a bit of a faux pas?

>>5947685
Well they were gearing up to go all kinds of crazy, plus we want to get into that TradeStar ship.

PLUS, it's not really genocide, because they were created. It's like killing stuffed animals.

>>5947657
"We'll need to include enough brain activity to keep them breathing and doing basic functions - otherwise they'll die as soon as they come out of the vats and they'll have to be on life support. But, other than that, yes - vegtables. We should be able to make such things! You won't find a better company for this sort of thing in the entire galaxy!"

Security was surprisingly weak - then again, you're a rather good ally. Samson 70 is in stealth at the moment - what would you like him to attempt to do?

>>5947685
I would like to capture them to sell to New Earth for transmutation nanites.

>>5947696
Hey. They were uplifted. I personally think it's a dumb idea to uplift things, but once it's done, they're as sentient as, say, synths.

>>5947706
Have him get into their computer core. absolute priority on not being caught.

Anyway, while you're there, attempt to negotiate (publicly) for massive tech transfers. The fact that this guy is excited over whatever he got from the Martians sounds to me like a hint that he'll personally gain quite a bit from whatever he brings back; if you offer him a bag of goodies, like say a superweapon design or three, we might be able to net a few of Lemmington's more useful tricks to take with us as we leave the planet.

>>5947706
Samson needs to sneak around and find out whatever the fuck it is they found. Discretion is key. If he does find out what it is, he needs to contact us and say so. If there's some kind of research or notes about it, he should copy them down. Stealing it would be pretty obvious.

Other than that, whether or not he finds out their big secret, he should use this opportunity to try and find any other information he can swipe. Again, discretion is key.

Now back to me. "Now, I only took rudimentary biology as a kid, but aren't most of the basic functions handled by the madula? If that's pumping then the body should be running fine, right? A ship without a pilot, as it were?"

>>5947748
second.

>>5947748
I'll work this kind of stuff in.

>>5947763
Actually, scratch him transmitting to us. Lemmington might pick that up. Radio silence. If he finds it, he downloads anything he can.

That includes information about anything. But discretion is key.

Again, radio silence. Complete. Also give him a time frame, whatever seems a reasonable time frame for him getting back before we leave. If it's necessary, I'll try to stall and stick around a bit.

>>5947763
Samson 70 isn't transmitting anything - no communication at all. Not even a camera feed. The drone is officially operating completely independently of your systems as he explores the research facility - all sorts of rare plants are being confined, sliced open corpses of the various primates of various genders in various conditions are all on display to Samson, there are dozens of warheads filled with all sorts of payloads and finally, an incredibly secure glass chamber that contained what looks like an unearthed generator of some sort - a fuel compartment where the process is started, but another compartment that matter is inserted within. Several cables lead out for it, obviously meant to be connected to other structures.

Notes indicate that the generator allows for the highly controlled annihilation of matter, converting it into energy at a rate that most benefits the person in possession of the facility. Of course, the matter-to-energy transfer isn't 100% efficient, but it still far above anything that the other factions are currently capable of.

Samson 70 downloads this information and prepares to leave while Jeremy waves his hand, dismissing what you're saying. "No need for you to worry - we're the scientists, we'll take care of this stuation completely. We understand the concept of what you want, yes - the starship without a pilot. Now, is there anything else that you want? Any technology that interests you? Apart from our latest find, of course - I apologize, but you really can't have access to that."

A couple technology ideas...

We have stealth suit schematics. I would like to take those, our improved cloaking, improved sensor schematics, jump jets off the power suits, personal kinetic shields, power blade schematics, gravatic manipulators, gamma weapons, and EMP weapons, and shove them all into one "heavy infiltrator suit" package. Is this possible?

Then, research tiny (coin sized) drones with heavy cloaking, cameras, wall-crawling abilities, and the ability to detonate in a large ball of plasma (or something else destructive, if more practical). Our infiltrators can take a few of these with them and drop them around as lookouts/sentry bombs.

How good is the hydroponics technology of Lemington as it would probably be good to have more than one way to get food. Recycling tanks would also be something to look for. Especially since we are planning to go independent.

>>5947879
We might as well take some tech. Might even make them less suspicious. But do they have anything we want at this point? I mean, we're not really into biotech...

>>5947888
This is possible.

However, they would be so complex and have so much complex machinery that it'd take an entire day to make just one at a construction facility.

>>5947879
Really ham it up again with the laughter, fun and jovial. Like I'm this guy's best friend in the world. "Well to be honest, this new find, it's got us interested. Claiming it's all kinds of wonderful and all that. Any clue as to what it is? Obviously you can't share it with us, if it's as great as you say it is. And we respect that. We're all about trade secrets to, ya know. Ha ha ha. But I don't think there are any rules against hints. Eh?" Give him the little shoulder nudge and wink. Real friendly like.

Keep up the act as long as I can until Samson returns.

Regardless of if he says anything, inquire about what they'd be willing to share, "Because honestly here, depending on how things turn out in the next few weeks, we may either be dead, or setting up on some backwater planet lightyears away. And we could use anything to make the experience a bit more hospitable." Real friendly like.

>>5947955
Miniaturized spy drones would be worth the long construction process.

BTW, how are you guys finding my spy work? Anything you'd like to have included?

>>5947985
The miniaturized drones would be four a day.
The suits would be one a day.

>>5947888
Irony, you and I come up with some pretty good inventions. We should pool our resources.

>>5947995
I have no objections but we should trade for tech otherwise they might get suspicious since we never really met with them in person before. Try asking about the stuff here>>5947933

>I mean, we're not really into biotech.
I feel that this should not be allowed to stand in the way of our acquiring it and throwing it into our archives. We're ditching the planet, and since we're planning to burn bridges with TradeStar we have little reason to keep our technology proprietary. Might as well take everything we can get- it might prove useful in future, unanticipated applications.

>This is possible.
>However, they would be so complex and have so much complex machinery that it'd take an entire day to make just one at a construction facility.
Considering our available resources, I'm not inclined to quibble over such things. Please begin research on both projects, at new labs if necessary.

>>5947969
"It's incredible - but it's honestly safer if you don't find out anything about it. At this stage, we can't risk anyone else finding out about this - this could put our nation above all of the others. Look, if you let us get this technology out of the system, we'll put a good word in it for you with the Terilian Sovereignty. You'd be able to ask one of the most powerful nations in the galaxy for favours. How about that?"

Samson 70 has quickly left the research facility and has returned to you side in a handful of minutes. Your earpiece clicks, a brief sign from S70 to inform you that he's done.

"Because honestly here, depending on how things turn out in the next few weeks, we may either be dead, or setting up on some backwater planet lightyears away. And we could use anything to make the experience a bit more hospitable." Real friendly like.

I was trying to express that kind of idea with this part of my post.

>>5948033
I like favors.

Let's take a few techs from them and scoot, get the results of our endeavours, and advance the day.

Also, when talking about the final part, here's what Jeremy says:
"Well, I can't promise luxury, but there are several things we can do. Supplies can take up a large amount of space so we can instead offer you basic nutrient injections, which is what we do with our drones - much more cost effective. Also, we can offer some basic recycling technology, cyrogenic technology to preserve biological goods for long periods of time, clone servants to help you get throughout the dya, so on. There's all sorts of technology that we can put up on offer."

>>5948033
"Favors sound pretty appealing right about now. Could be a god send later on. Well Jeremy, it's been great meeting you, hope to do it again sometime. Hell, maybe we can get a few game of Space Golf in, heh heh heh." Space golf, yeah, I said it. "We'll be looking to get some more resources to sustain ourselves in the future. Could we get a transmission at our main facility of what you can offer? Maybe a few things gratis, if you get my meaning. We could sure as hell use it."

>>5948051
agreed

>>5948074
Going in with my last post, let's take whatever they'd offer to GIVE us for free, if anything. And then could we get a list of anything else they'd be willing to sell?

>>5948074
Recycling and cryogenic look the most promising while the cloned servant might be for fun.

>>5948085
>>5948051
Yeah, then let's get home and advance the day.

>Irony, you and I come up with some pretty good inventions. We should pool our resources.
Thank you. As for pooling resources, we do both work for Plasma Limited, do we not?

Anyway, the potential for future political favors is a nice one- if we do attempt to carve out our own empire elsewhere, it's possible that we could use that to wrangle some form of legitimacy from at least one nation. And we do have fusion already, so while antimatter would be delightful, it's probably not essential...

I would really like to get schematics for some of Lemmington's cloning technology, all the AI types that we can get our hands on, and whatever medical technology we can get from whoever has it. With those in hand, I will feel that we have a much more well-rounded set of capabilities while leaving the planet.

>>5948099
With additional biotech and our already vast robotic resources, I think we could produce some cyborg motherfuckers. Hell yeah, bitch.

Hm. Maybe we could offer to sell a few things too, develop bonds and all that.

OH WAIT. Let's contact Unipeace and get that tech from them, the one they were using in that superweapon of their to make the plant bridge. The terraformer.

Damn, ALSO, when we're back, see if Samson got any other information from Lemmington. No use buying stuff he's already got.

FREE:
Nutrient supplements
Recycling technology
Any particular clones that you might want for any particular reason

In exchange for technology that you might have, they'd be willing to offer:
Nitrogen Freezing technology
Cloning technology
Lobotomy technology
Headcrab technology
Neuro-Haywire technology
Contagion technology
Lethal nerve gas technology
Sampler dart technology

>>5948145
Can we get a cloned body for Albert, or whoever his name was, the scientist, and get his mind transferred into it?

Thread's 'bout to autosage.

>>5948145
Let's take the freebies, 20 redshirt clones to run the dangerous bits of the ship we'll be making, plus Haywire and Nitrogen.

Everything else sounds like we've got something that could do the job better, or really really illegal.

I think instead of listing what we WON'T trade, we should list what we would be willing to give them.

>With additional biotech and our already vast robotic resources, I think we could produce some cyborg motherfuckers. Hell yeah, bitch.
I believe that we already have some form of mind-machine interfacing technology, do we not? That seems the most essential requirement for that sort of thing.


>There's all sorts of technology that we can put up on offer.
I would like the following from Lemmington:
Nitrogen Freezing technology
Cloning technology
Lobotomy technology
Headcrab technology
Neuro-Haywire technology
Contagion technology
Lethal nerve gas technology
Sampler dart technology
-Advanced medical technology, for replacement limbs and such, plus anything else- we're going where we will be our own doctors, after all
-Biological customization technology, if they have it- for making people/clones larger, smaller, faster, smarter, stronger, etc.

Here is what I am NOT willing to trade Lemmington:
-EMP technology of any sort
-Sensor technology of any sort
-Cloaking technology of any sort
-Drone designs larger than superheavy

Aside from that, they can make whatever requests.

Can we get descriptions for these?

New thread?

>Everything else sounds like we've got something that could do the job better, or really really illegal.
I have no problem with having "illegal" schematics in our data cores. As for things we have that can do the job better... why not pick them up anyway? We might come up with some form of creative use, or we might be able to trade away the lesser capabilities to someone else we meet in the future. It costs us nothing at all to give Lemmington a few schematics, and we gain new tech for it. Why not?

>>5948223
Exactly.

Just because we have massive superweapons doesn't mean less powerful alternatives don't have their value. That's just an example, of course. But we can trade lesser tech to others.
