    Year 2175:
    Research is complete! Military Application of Portals has been researched! You will need to select a new research topic. Please request research list.
    Military applications of Portals include:
    PORTAL ACCELERATOR: This is an improved form of mass driver. Slightly slower when it comes to firing, but far more powerful, with an increased range too. Costs $10b and 1 Module.
    DISINTEGRATOR: Long range and moving at the speed of light, this generates a portal within a portal, or two overlapping portals, in order to cause the immediate dispersal of matter. Essentially, it disintegrates anything in its path. It is capable of shooting a perfectly clean hole through any hull - although this does little damage unless it hits vital machinery.
    Three more anomalies in 40 Eridian. All from deep space, all going to deep space. Except for one, that suddenly changes course while rapidly deccelerating, slamming into the broken planet, as far as you are aware. There are no sign of damage.

    Balance: $309b
    Income: $309b

    >> Plasma !UHUuLXLjhk 07/21/10(Wed)22:21 No.11273758
    >>11273752
    Research List:
    - Further Development of Energy Transfer Portals - Allows for increased efficiency.
    - Groupmind - Allows for a radio-connection between multiple human minds for improved group thinking.
    - Macro Sapience - Develop an understanding of "world minds" similar to those on Chiron and Pandora and an ability to recreate them.
    - Reflector Chassis - The ultimate development of the Deflector Chassis. Most expensive but reflects projectiles.
    - Stealth Possibilities - Research the possibility on stealth in space combat.

    If you have your own ideas, feel free to suggest them.

    Factory probes.
    Probes that have the ability to land, manufacture a bio-dome, cloning facility, and infastructure withing 3 years of landing.
    Manufactured minds
    Building a mind to be placed into a cloned body. This allows the mind to also be uploaded with memories, data, and training that they didnt have before this time.

    Quite some time. Initially, the probe you sent was a crawler but it found no safe area to land on. So, instead, it's simply orbitting the sun.

    You could trigger the release mechanism, if you like. Try and have it land on the fractured, broken surface of the planet there.

    Although, this means that it will no longer be able to track movement in space. Its focus will be entirely ground-based.

    Leave it orbiting, more important to keep an eye on all the anomalies than to follow one specific one likely losing the probe and having no way to gain any specific knowledge from the exploration.

    If the second probe shows up and the ship is still there then send a colony ship with a science and marine crew to explore it.

    I'm all for sending another probe there, but we may only have one shot as this crash site before the planet disintegrates, and I doubt our probe will be able to shift through the debris of an entire planet to look for these remains, if there are any.

    Look at it this way: we leave the probe in orbit, we can observe traffic in system, so can the pentex probe there as well. We'll be able to see all the ships coming and going, if there are any more that is.

    If we land, we will actually know what we're up against, we will have valuable information, information we can profit from, information that other people, like the UN (whose basically own pentex) would like to get their hands on.

    Let's send it to Delta Pavonis. Eta Cassiopoiea already has one on the way.
    I think we should consider sending an automated mining ship to Eridian 40. The planet is broken, so mining should be easy.

    yeah, but we've already got a massive presence in AC we really don't need to send anything new there, there are on the other hand something like 20 other systems that have been listed, we've got a base in 3 and a somewhat active probe presence in two others. while we've sent probes to al of them i don't know what we've seen.

    I'm aware of that, but we have seen several terrestrial planets, and spreading our construction ability would help preven the UN from locking our ships in system like they did to Alpha Centauri.

    Year 2176:
    Advertising campaign was relatively successful.
    Market survey reveals that most people feel quite resentful towards your corporation and the other major organizations looming over them. Hatred of the system is a fad, after all, and once that won't fade with time. However, they are more than happy to purchase products designed by you that don't have your name on them. Essentially, slight subtlety is requred with the general public.
    Remenants of advanced organic life located on 40 Eridian planet.
    Remenants of advanced artificial structures located on 40 Eridian planet.
    Remenants of a relatively advanced civilization located on 40 Eridian planet.
    Nothing is alive. It's too cold. The atmosphere is falling apart and bleeding air into space. Almost no water is to be located - it has been drained away by the endless fissures in the surface. The planet has been rendered completely uninhabitable.
    Hundreds of thousands of angry rioters have poured into the radioactive remenants of New Shanghai and are blockading themselves in the half-repaired ruins of the city, executing UN resistance. They are well equipped and obviously well funded. The number of dead Peace Keepers has risen from 324 to 3957 in one year.

    Well we could do that in AC, with the two barely habitable planets there; but it might be good to do this away from prying eyes, I agree.

    The only problem is that we don't have any Umbral terraforming yet, so I'd rather we held back on production until we at least had the tech queued.

    Generally, interstellar travel requires cryosleep if you don't want your bones to be rendered into jelly.

    Also, such cruises are only appreciated if they're allowed to get off and go on to planets. Looking at worlds through a window stops being so enticing after a while.

    I also say we should move one of our idle spy satellites around Pandora over to Mars, see if we can keep detailed info on new developments. Covert funding is always a good idea.
    I say we commit some of our research budget into improving our company image, see if we can improve our standing in the public eye. Maybe establish a variety of local-level charities on Earth and Mars like scholarships, feeding the hungry, providing homeless shelters, etc etc. Shouldn't be very expensive and might give us an edge over the other companies.

    Investigate 40 Eridani more thoroughly, including anything we can find on the dead civilization.

    And the planet should be collapsing back into a sphere shape, given that there's still lots of mass in extremely close proximity and without enough velocity for it to be flying apart.
