I love this quest.

>>27938738
a new update to the factions and groups Program0 has introduced to us.
http://pastebin.com/yvcRCs9M
a quick way to get up to speed with the quests with some fluff

>>27938687
>>New Technology: Laser V acquired, Infantry Weapons (Laser)
Can e attach these to our drones?

>>27938687
>>Titan Class Transport Built and shipped to Poseidon by UFW
Its already obvious we are moving the station, but to where we have 3 great choices.
Colonist
Malorians
Asteroid belt
Each has its cons and pros.

>>27938687
>>27938738
welp, what DID we find on that new alien ship then Program0?

btw, Program0, i have the first chapter of my diffrent view of your quest ready to be put into pastbin, want me to toss it up now?

>>27938788
Laser V is specifically meant for ship mounted weaponry.
Infantry Weapons, however, can be attached to drones if you chose to do so, at a reasonable cost.

>>27938768
Why thank you

>>27938738
Didn't we decide to make more hostile viruses after last times battle, i suggest we do that now while in the time of peace, also can we improve on the viruses we already made?
While we are at it lets add another layer to the fire wall.

What do the numbers represent?

>>27938851
their strength.

>>27938784
No info about the shopping list.

>>27938824
well, i wonder, for a new type of varient crusier class, strip out all but the bare antimissle systems and mount that laser V on one? i presume that class of laser is a Battle ship level weapon? along with upgrading the engiens to HANDLE the power draw of that laser.

>>27938818
The 'loot' so to speak from the derelict is listed above, as well as the Infantry technology which you acquired from a sample of their weapons.

You're certainly welcome to, yes.

>>27938832
The only way to improve already made viruses and hostile cyberware is by having access to better technology (Cyberwarfare II for example)
You may always commission for different types of cyberwar, if you have support

Layered Firewalls is a Cyberewarfare II-III available option.

>>27938801
Specifically, I assume you mean
Eshareth 'New Eden'
Gas Giant 'Siren'

If you wish to bring your station to an already colonized system, you may wish to ask permission, allies or no.

>>27938824
>Infantry Weapons, however, can be attached to drones if you chose to do so, at a reasonable cost.
Lets fit our security drones with the infantry lasers and upgrade any ship laser that aren't better than the V laser.

>>27938687
>The UFW have contacted you in regards to a large energy spike they detected during your fight with the Derelict.
"A ship tried to attack me. They were dealt with."
>Kronos and Moira have succeeded in their research.
Fantastic!

>>27938895
Ok noted, does any one have ideas for combat orientated viruses?

>>27938903
>A ship tried to attack me.
"A ship initiated hostilities against me" sounds better.

I don't want to get tangeled up with the colonists and I don't that the nature-loving xenos will want to see us strip-mine a system, so my vote is for the asteroids.

Program0, how much usable scrap is there left at Moria's old factory now?

>>27938895
Can we get that shopping list you showed us before?
Also while we are online lets look for schematics for a lab(robotics/chemical)

>>27938956
We turned it into a ship yard so that we could upgrade the ships, speaking of which we held off on the upgrades for the transporter.

>>27938974
Scratch that about lab, i meant to say foundry.

Let's space-google the fuckers that tried to abduct us.

can you elaborate on the research by kronos and moira?

>>27939004
I still think we should make some offensive viruses, since we learned that we focused too much on defense and stealth type programs.

>>27938876
The classifications of weapons appear to work this way
Any roman numeral added to the end represents a new grade of improvement upon the original formula in all ways. But certain grades, such as plasma, are different enough to be their own type of weapon tree, but are considered superior to lasers, no matter how improved they get.

So Laser VII would be very advanced laser technology. But Plasma II would always deal more damage and generally be a better weapon.

Your current engine technology is capable of handling most power requirements of the sort. Though, you have never tested Plasma weaponry.

However, testing for consensus

Upgrade all available ships with superior laser technology
>1 Yes (Price range, 70-175M, 125-200G)
>2 No (Settle for inferior technology
>3 Buy upgrades for ships (200,000 credits, a lot faster installation)

>>27938903
Requesting confirmation
Initiative upgrade of security drones (meant only for protecting the crew of Poseidon, and not full scale war efforts) with laser mounted weapons?

>1 Yes (Full cost: -75M -125G)
>2 No, such upgrades are better suited for full battledroids

>>27938908
The UFW contact you
"We appreciate you good folks taking care of whatever that signal was, but whatever it was you did, it lit up our radar like a parade!"
"A ship initiated hostilities with me. They were dealt with concisely." You explain.
"We can tell. Remind me never to mess with you folks." He laughs. "Wouldn't mind knowing where you got tech like that either."

Can we look online for repair schematics so that we can improve this vessel and our repair drones.

>>27939031
>2 No, such upgrades are better suited for full battledroids
Well never i didn't know we can make battle droids, if we can then i suggest looking up info for them and getting better security upgrades for the security drones.

>>27939031
>>1 Yes (Price range, 70-175M, 125-200G)
Nah we are going shopping.
Also
>>27939031
>>2 No, such upgrades are better suited for full battledroids
Lets make battle drones then and give them these guns while we look for a way to improve the security drones.

>>27938956
Plenty, Consciousness anon, the scrapyard is enormous and provides plenty of metal to melt down.

You're not certain what they were, Consciousness anon. They appeared to be shark-like in nature, whatever they were, and immune to your flushing of oxygen. You suspect the apparatuses they wore to be responsible for this.

The Malorians have indeed declined the offer for alcohol. They prefer things they grow themselves, you see.

>>27939014
There are a few sightings registered, they appear to be a hostile alien race that has not set up any manner of embassy, or attempt at communication with humans so far. They are called many things, but the scientific name appears to be Losirian

>>27939031

Tell him that we go it from the pirates.
Also spend resources and no on the upgrades.

>>27939031

>No
>Move Poseidon to the uninhibited asteroid field.

Let's get Kronos to start developing battledroids by using our existing security droids as a starting point.

>>27939075
>>27939057
Battledroids would be a military technology that is not readily available to civilians.

I was simply expressing there is a difference between security bots and battle ready droids

>>27939088
>>Advanced Repair Drones (-75,000 credits)
I vote we get this.
>>Advanced Medical Bay 100 Minerals, 150 Gas.
Do this at Poseidon station.
Can these three be expanded on?
>>Duranthium Armor plating (-200,000 credits)
>>ECM Point Defense (-150,000 credits)
>>Superior Shields (-225,000 credits)

>>27939031
didnt we have black market contacts with better tech?

no on upgrading droids. security will do well enough.

tell the ufw that "we are constantly seeking to improve our technology, but it is a scret. we are always seeking for new researchers and engineers, if any care to step forward for opportunities"

Cant remember, did we do that Med facilities trade yet? If not, we should do so.

>>27939133
then do this
>>27939125

>>27939088
So can we search up foundry info or is that covered by the ship yard?

>>27939133
also. though the extranet, can we contact the capital planet of the UFW, and file for offical busniess charter? we have been calling our selfs a corp, but we are not an offical one anyway. that and i wonder if the UFW can make cruisers or has a want for us to make them for them?

>>27939125
heck no. battledroids are a waste of time considering we should be working on better vi-only ship tech.

>>27938895
>Cyberewarfare II-III
What can we do to improve cyber ware fare, and what were the possible choices for creating viruses?

>>27939180
Maybe get it some of that Duranthium armour?

Better deflector shields would also be worth looking into, since our strategy seems to generally be "sit and hack while taking the hits and when that falls through, open fire with railguns."

>>27939135
You did, but he only spoke with you on the one occasion. You have no way of contacting him currently.

Consensus registered. Construction of Laser Weapons in progress. Time is required

Upgrading Droids will wait as well.

Asteroid belt.
Can we buy a mining license from the UGEI?

>>27939187
Unless we plan to bombard everything from orbit (which I'm not sure we're even capable of doing in our ships), we'll need some boots in the ground eventually. It's probably a long research process too, so we should start now.

>>27939202
can we send the outpost to the shipyard location? i guess its putting our eggs in one basket, but it is also having one less location to defend.

>>27939228
>Asteroid belt, the only problem is that the UGEI patrols the area.
>Colonist, we might have to settle some things before moving.

>>27939187
Yeah no, we need bodies to get in the ships for us and on the ground, we were almost in real danger when we got boarded.

>>27939228
Yeah, but they only care about the planet. I don't think they'll bug us.

>>27939244
No thats a really bad idea, other than making it out to be an easy target.
>>27938895
So we can't make more viruses?

>>27939137
You did. That is the result of your influx of Credits. Nethlos is highly grateful.

>>27939168
It is.

>>27939183
The UFW can indeed make cruisers. If you chose to, you could attempt to contact the UFW capital, but so far, only Nethlos has answered your call.

>>27939192
Such upgrades would require access to a facility capable of improving upon such calculations. That, or stealing the information from those with superior technology.

>>27939205
I update a twitter if you care to use that to keep up.

>>27939223
Kronos appears rather satisfied with the work that was accomplished. Moira is drinking a cup of some caffeinated beverage, as she speaks to you through the holo display.

Well lets space google it for ideas.

>>27939239
why go down to a planet at all? if we design our ships to be vi-only, then there is nowhere to board!

i thought kronos was working on designing those compact ship already.

>>27939304
No it was the UFW.
>>27939202
Can you go into greater details about the upgrades?

>>27939234
Which Asteroid Belt are you referring to, Consciousness anon.

And you may try. Your search tells you that such a license takes 4 months of operation to earn. In which time the UGEI are entitled to 85% of your profits.
After clearance, they're still entitled to 70%

>>27939277
and putting the station into a location known to ugei is NOT dangerous??

>>27939329
We still need to take over facilities and just going through the software can only get you so far, plus it can stop cyber attacks quickly.

>>27939337
Yah, no. Fuck the UGEI.

Fuckin' leeches make the lightlings look generous.

>>27939342
Not as dangerous as putting a target on our back.
>>27939337
Fucks those guys.
Also i was talking about this.
>>27939250
Remember the station the UFW said we can take.

>>27939343
what facilities are we going to be taking over? the danger of ugei coming to inspect out illicit operations is more pressing.

i vote to move the posidon station to were we found the ruined UFW station and take over that spot. we can picket a pair of cruisers to guard the station until we move Moria's station with their defenseive platforms. after that we can order the titan to gather up the rest of the scrap yard and move that over to our combined base along with the ship yard we built there.

>>27939337
I say we contact the colonist, and ask them if the planet they moved has room for us.
>>27939374
We are thinking ahead and it was already shown how useful drones are when we got boarded twice(1 pirates, 2 alien thugs)

That system is where the aliens now have their colony though.

>the plant they moved

what.

I'm against bunching our selves up anon, lets not do that plus we can just put defenses to the station, plus we have the minerals to build them..

Meant to say the planet they moved onto.

>>27939369
how is moving to the scrapyard painting a target on our back? that's what moving to the malorian colony would be, since ugei is going to expand there.

>>27939277
You may make more viruses, you simply need to flesh them out further with your fellow anons.

>>27939288
The asteroid field above Eshareth is the target of much of the mining, Consciousness anon.

vote to rename broadband ship to "Soundwave" but other wise agree to do upgrade those ships.

>>27939583
The station has a "mining lasor" meant for "mining" asteroids which is why it is going to the asteroid field and not the Gas giant.

>>27939606
there's no gas at the scrapyard!!

>>27939583
Our station is made for minerals and we know jack shit about gas, which is why i think we should google search for older known designs and improve on those.

>>27939583
It presents the easiest path available to us at the moment.

>>27939470
Duranthium Armor Plating: A type of armor that is composed of various different alloys, meant to last against much strain, but be reasonably inexpensive at the same time. While armor is never a bad thing to have, it is most effective at decreasing the impact made by mass drivers and any manner of rail gun, one of the more popular weapons in the galaxy.

ECM Point Defense: Meant specifically to interfere with the guidance systems used by inter-ship missiles, this defense has little use beyond this. However, since missile weapons are one of the most damaging forms of weapons, some would say this is enough. Relatively inexpensive compared to the cost of missile weapons.

Superior Shields: Using similar technology available to laser weapons, this type of defense focuses lasers into an area to deflect and stop incoming danger. Most effective at stopping energy weapons, this shield is also useful for protecting a ship from space debris.

>>27939632
there maybe SOME gas in the ruined engins we tear up, but there is far more minerals in the asteroid field. but we CAN move the scrap yard with the Titan ship, it just will take many trips and time, but do able.

also, now we have better metals to work with. we should make a interior containment room for our black box on the BC, ultra thick armor and such so lucky hits will be less likely to shatter us. (but not permently seal us in so we can be moved later)

>>27939698
program0 is this true or am i vastly confused? i thought we can double-mine the scrapyard with the shipyard that is already there and has been mining it, and poseidon if we move poseidon there.

>>27939664
The scrapyard provides some minerals but the asteroid field will provide more. It's all better to not put all your eggs in one basket.

>>27939735
there isnt any. read the old threads. the only place we get gas from is the platform at blue betty. the amount is 50 gas. the shipyard that belonged to moira (not MORIA) generates minerals from the scrap around it.

fuck, what is reading comprehension?

>>27939495
A misunderstanding by me then. The Malorians focus on growth of all manner of plants and the like. They have informed you, however, that they are not certain plants related to alcohol creation would last very long among the various other types of expansive vegetation they grow. They do not mind trade, however, as their race has previously trading many types of plants with humans, before the conflict.

1.This Virus will cannibalize programs and multiply it self by using said programs and at the same time, this will be mainly used to slow down their systems
2.This virus will try to turn computers into zombies or bots. As computers become infected, they become vulnerable to remote control
3.This virus will try to fry tier systems.

The shipyard is located at Moira's Outpost, where it also mines minerals from the vast scrapyards.

Double mining would quickly reduce the quantity of minerals in the location.

Consensus for removing Armor appears valid.

Finishing shopping with the following purchases.

>>27939889
Wood is seen as inferior to metals for the purposes of construction, and most colony ships provide enough nutrients to begin a farm for whatever products do require wood.
However, fresh produce is indeed a luxury. However it is worth remembering that Malorians do not grow human specified plants. They grow all manner of plants, many of which are terribly poisonous to humans.

This colony believes nature should be allowed to flourish, it seems. It may take a skilled diplomat to convince them to grow something just for the humans.
Red is not a skilled diplomat.

Two stations such as Poseidon and the outpost would mine upwards to 1000 minerals a cycle. However, the scrapyard would quickly be depleted this way, and you may even run out of space to store the minerals.

Predicted output of Eshareth Asteroid field is upwards to 300-500 minerals a cycle.

It appears you have agreed to these upgrades wholeheartedly. As a result, your reserves are nearly completely drained.

It is then that you receive a sudden message from Nethlos, a distress signal.
"Holy shit, who the hell did you just piss off out there?! We just got three similar signals jumping in from no where, all Battlecruiser class!" The man shouts through the holo display. You watch as his office is rocked, and the man stumbles, before quickly getting back to his feet. "We're gonna need some help! The fleet is too far away, Losirian raiders a-" The transmission begins to grow static filled, and all you manage to get through the alert is further ruckus before it finally goes dead.

hum, this is intresting. maybe it is better to eat up Moira's scrap yard than trying to move it. as long as we have the Titan, we can move posidon and her factory to over Eshareth to mine there.

we still need to pay our crew.

as to the Malorians, is there ANY plants they could grow that humans can use? natural drugs and supliments? space mary jane, or other illegal kind of drugs ? lastly, do they raise animals? kinds we can make real leather and fur hides from? maybe real leather can be a luxery product?

>>27940423
i don't think stalling is wise, they have three battlecruisers we only have one and some cruisers

>>27940470
Which is why we need to quickly hack one and while we hack prepare our main gun slowly.

Depending on how the three battleships are deployed we could focus our "attacks" on one of them while we infect the second one with the virus that will help us hack and infect the last one with the virus meant to disable.

>>27940306
You misunderstand, Consciousness anon, the Malorians DO grow plants human can use. But they do not harvest them. They grow all manner of plants, and let them flourish as they see fit. As a result, highly toxic, or rapid growing specimens survive longest. They use it as both a method of terraforming, and as a religious doctrine.
If you desire to suggest them to cultivate plants beyond what they need, you will require a skilled diplomatic skill check

They do not deal with animals nearly as often, however. Other Malorians apparently do, at times however.

You have initiated payment to Poseidon. As well as the warning that Poseidon will be moving and they are requested to make ready on the nearest transport ship. The people are surprised, but are rather happy for the paid 'vacation'.


You can not let these raiders have their way with Nethlos, the UFW are your allies after all. Despite the power of their ships, you feel confident in your numbers and superior tactics. You form up and prepare to launch, engines warming up to jump.

Preparing
'Two Ton Terry' Battlecruiser
'Big Hawk'Light Cruiser
'Big Tim' Light Cruiser
'Little Tim' Light Cruiser
'Soundwave' Broadband Frigate

Formation is set up around Soundwave to protect it, as it provides you with your processing power.
Space begins to warp around your field of view, and within moments, you're brought out of warp space above Nethlos, a rather prosperous looking location. The atmosphere detects within the human survivable rating, and the yellow star likely contributes to that.
What does not is the large, old looking ships blowing apart what appears to be the last defensive ship left behind to protect Nethlos, space debris littering the skies. You can detect several defensive cannons doing what they can to protect Nethlos, but the raiders are far more interested in the planet itself.You notice one ship already orbits the planet, as another comes up next to it and launches what appear to be infantry pods down to the surface. The third remains to fight the defenses.

You issue your orders easily, thanks to your comms ship, which remains at the edge of the gravity well. Big Hawk, along with Big and Little Tim group up and begin their first attack run, as you instructed. You can feel Kronos' eyes upon you as you proceed to make tactical choices, while your Cruisers make their first run. Due to their automation, they're nearly flawlessly grouped up, and move quickly over BC#2, which is just finishing releasing the last of it's group raiders. Big Hawk opens fire first, both Tims following in conjunction, as a stream of railfire and missiles unload. You watch fire light up all along the surface of the ship, it's shields flickering weakly as it attempts too hold off the barrage of massive explosions. You detect significant damage done to BC #2, as your cruisers swoop back away, however, you detect their focus shift, as both BCs #2 and #1 begin their own approach.

You approach BC #3, intent on putting a stop to it's defense breaking. It looks as if it's already taken a bit of damage itself.
You open up with all available weapon batteries, lasers, railguns and missiles, which look like a firestorm as they land on the surface of the ship. It sends a communication of a Losirian glaring at you through the holo display, quickly followed by a shout and snap of very sharp looking teeth. You're not sure of his language, but that may have been a curse.

>>27941181
Re-engage with the light cruisers, deploy the Gitterdun against BC #1, continue firing upon 3.

>>27941181
Hacking attempt has failed, also

>>27941197
Lets disable unnecessary things for extra bandwidth.

>>27941226
Figured as much, instruct our cruisers to aim at their thrusters and weapons.
While we fire off another barrage at the two incoming ships., also try to hack one more time.

repeat attack patteren then (if the troop transport are all dead or beyond our reach shift the ships fire to other targets)

>>27941279

use BW to help aim our attacks then!

>>27941181
We don't understand them but maybe they understand us? Tell the third ship that they are to surrend or die. They will also send over a copy of their language.

If they do not complie continue our attack on #3.

Have the cruisers switch targets to #3 to hit them in the back while we engage with them.

>>27941320
I'm thinking of instructing our guys to aim at their thrusters.
It seems like our upgrades helped us a lot.

>>27941181
Is it possible to run a active scan to gather more intelligence on their ships and pinpoint strengths and weaknesses?

>>27941320
You send a message to BC #3.
"Attention Xeno invader. You're to surrender your ship at this time, or die. I will not hesitate." You warn. The holo display shows you the shark person grinning at your own display, before he brings a gnarled fist down to smash the holo display. You hear only snarls and barks from the other side now that you can no longer see him.
You'd take that as a no.

they don't want to talk, and after seeing what they are doing, there is nothing to say now but drakka. if we can get some computers and coding from them, we'll figure out their speech later. right now.
THEY

DIE

the UFW are the closes we have to friends besides Moira. red isn't a friend, X-Ray isn't there yet, we should talk to him about this battle after word, and Kronos is more like our child than friend

>>27941440
Didn't we decide to disable unnecessary things during this fight to save up on bandwidth.

our viruses are probably not going to work on them. it's like window 95 trying to talk to OX7 system code. that is why we need to absorb as much of this xeno code and data we can so we can adapt our viruses to them. right now. they are only good ageinst human codes.

i do not think they are even harming us much.....

You quickly decide the best next course of action is to open fire on BC #3, especially after such a rude transmission from the shark person!
You coordinate your ships and move them as one, your bandwidth easily able to handle all the calculations needed to keep your fleet in formation as the BCs move in to open fire with their own weapons. You receive mixed garbled transmissions from Nethlos on your short range communicator about how the battle planetside is going. Human screams are not a good sign.

You open fire on BC#3 with all your might and watch surprised as the ship's railguns cut across space and shoot half of your missiles out of the sky. The rest, however, impacts with the vessel just fine, the shields holding as the ship prepares its own attack, it's brother ships coming in from the side to do the same.

There is that signal again, as BC #3's tractor beam is engaged, drawing in Big Tim. You detect the ship's distress as the ship moves without it's permission-it's body moves without it's permission.
As the other two BCs move in, you watch as a hail of missile fire is unleashed onto the immobile ship, and explode all across the surface.
"G-Great On-n-ne. Alert. Massive Damage detected. Venting Reactor Core. Engines offline." It warms, as the V.I. continues to open fire along side the rest of your ships desperately.

How do you proceed?

>>27941819
Focus all fire on the tractor beam.

((Forgot my pic))

>>27941819
What was the damage inflicted on BC #3? Can it be destroyed in another volley?

>>27941819
Didn't we give him anti missile shields?

>>27941876
You commissioned it to be built. Such things take time.

>>27941868
You suspect that the ship is rather heavily damaged, judging from the surface. Focusing fire on the body would ensure an easier hit, as well.

>>27941933
I would like to perform an active scan. Maybe we can find it's bridge, or it's power source or a some sort of weakness?

Also, continue firing. The faster we can end this fight, the better.

>>27941819
Keep focusing fire.

Offload the VI to our banks before it gets destroyed.

>>27941933
Then focus fire on 3.

focus fire on that tractor beam gear. I think it is time to fire off the window maker beam cannon!

also what is Krono's and Moira's input on the fight?

>>27941819
Have Big Tim go with operation: Play dead.

While we aim at #3

>>27942016
Play dead might work.

>>27942016
This while we focus fire and tell tim to prepare to send himself to off load t our banks.

>>27941973
Consensus appears to be continue opening fire.

Your scans tell you that it's major power source is located near the tail end. You'd need to reposition to properly open fire on it's Reactor Core

>>27941983
But Consciousness anon, you have made no such backdoor available. You hard installed the V.I. onboard the ship.

You something in you for the V.I. that is in distress. Uncertain if it is pity, fear, or simply the desire not to lose such a resource, you instruct your fleet to attempt to free Big Tim from it's trap. As you do, Moira shouts suddenly from where she observes the fight.
"Those fishy bastards! Blow em apart honey, I think they figured out that no one's onboard. They normally board and pillage every ship they encounter."
"They focus on one of your servants, Ophion. I am pleased to see you wish you assist them. Even if it is merely convenient for you." Kronos adds simply, before adding. "Such creatures are not human, but behave just as human pirates do. You have destroyed such foes before."
