We can also a system similair to the V-3. That's much cheaper but has zero mobility. Excellent for a one shot system. Also, since most of it is underground, it's harder to destroy and detect, meaning the enemy has to send more forces to clean the site.

Also, there's quite a lot pirate activity around, so they might blame it on pirates rather then a race no'one has ever encountered or heard of.

Also, fun fact. We might try to fabricate a sort of virus that can after some time cause mad cows disease. Having serious problems with their main food supply is going to hurt them way more than us, because we can still eat the diseased meat.)

[Morrigi]

We need more biomass, experience, and understanding of human behavior. Attack something with cows!

Spoiler: Research and construction plan 0.4 (click to show/hide)

Research Team:
1 Tech Queen Kai:

Finish the satkiller

1 War Queen Kai

Work on an assembly line for combat drones

--------2 Commander (Full, Gen 1)
1 Level 4 Nurse Drone

Develop bacteria to aid them and Cloning research

-----2 Nurse (Gen 1)
1 Level 2 Navigation/Programming Drone 

Work on Autotargetting algorithms, and FoF recognition for automatic systems

1 Level 2 Navigation Drone

Autopilot?

1 Level 3 Tech Drone

Construct an additional geothermal power generator

            -1 Level 2 Digging Drone (Full)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drones aid if nessecairy.

This seems valid, although geothermal seems redundant with the potential to replicate our generator, but the knowledge derived concerning matters of ventilation and geological stability might be valuable.

Losing battles is unacceptable at this stage. Providing an opportunity for us or our technology to be studied would be potentially catastrophic. situations that require holding territory should be avoided.

We have bad multi-personality disorder.  Some of our self want sentient cheese!?

We might want to think about expanding our capabilities to a spaceship to go to the other planet we saw on the way to our planet that appeared to have a lot of bipeds on it and conduct simple espionage missions with it.  If we take the lightly inhabited planet we are on, then the heavily populated planet below will have potential to react.  We should aim to spread to that planet soon before the invasion of this one so we can harass the trade between both planets.  This is why we should make a ship/disc to travel in between the two planets.  We should make it stealth. 

[10ebbor10]

Sadly, things are realistic here. Meaning that Earth-Mars travel takes at least 1.5 years(Unless we don't care about fuel nor stealth, and fire full thrust for the entire Journey).

For absolute stealth we should use the planetary transport network, and such a thing takes years.

I prefer getting the satkiller online before we make other orbital things. Also, why bring our own spysat in orbit. Just crack a human Earth Mars relay and gather information from there. Watch the BBC or something.

[Morrigi]

ARISE, THREAD! LIVE! CONTINUE TO BE AWESOME AND STUFF!

[Ross Vernal]

A three-week time skip will occur in the next update. I've been busy, and will likely remain so, but an update is coming.

Don't unspoil if you don't want to know some details! And no, the big attack is not launched.

- Stampy can Speak now, and apparently can read Human minds. His (pregnant) mate can Listen.
- The Human Containment Lab has been expanded and transformed into a Human Hive.
- Most of the captive Humans are slaves and lab subjects, although the number of Human Loyalists has increased considerably. This is more biased towards Tech Humans and Drone Humans, but a few Soldiers have thrown in their lot with Us.
- The Human gene-engineering attempt was a failure, but shows promise with enough time.
- We failed to capture one town due to a large self-destruct device, and it was a total loss on both sides.
- There are several sub-hives ran by Commanders, who will be represented by individual posters.
- Most of these sub-hives are simple, Level 1 facilities that have not been developed for anything in particular; however, there are several hives for the explicit purpose of food.
- Most of these hives are connected via underground high-speed tunnels. All Human sensing technology in the area has been successfully spoofed.
- There is a Body Queen, and several steps have been taken to make her loyalty completely irrelevant.
- Advances in technology have facilitated breeding, and there are several breed-lines that are simplified.
- Most military technology has been slightly improved for combat readiness.


Current Hives:
Level 4 Industrial Technology Hive: Vehicles, M-Drones, Armor, Weaponry, Heavy Industry, Resource Processing, Stockpile, (Tech Queen)
Level 3 Biological Technology Hive: Flowers of Life, Nursery, Human Food, (Body Queen)
Level 3 Biological Technology Hive: Flowers of Life, Nursery, Human Food, Etc
Level 2 Human Hive: Human Food, Human Loyalists, Human Counterintelligence, Pilot Training
Level 2 Human Hive City: Cattle, Human Food, Flowers of Life, Human Slaves, Human Test Subjects
Level 1 Subhive Far East: (War Queen)
Level 1 Subhive North:
Level 1 Subhive South:
Level 1 Subhive East:
Level 1 Subhive West:
Level 1 Subhive Far South:

It's just... a lot of writing and math, and I am busy. xD

Wow, quite a big fastforward. I hope that I'll get a subhive )

[Ross Vernal]

No picks yet, but I am thinking you, RAM, ebbor, Zecro, and whomever else that has posted who shows enough initiative calls dibs.

Morrigi, likely. I don't anticipate a hell of a lot of volunteers, but fortunately, there are extra Commanders around.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

Meine own sub-hive? Sounds like I'll just waste time on building WMDS and then end up nuking up mars, if there is one available I'd like it please.

[RAM]

Dibs!

[Ross Vernal]

It is harder to classify 2440 Kai than one would expect, as well as trying to figure out what the plant breed cycle is.

If you'd want a specific hive and parent!Queen you should let me know; otherwise it will be assigned at random.

Spoiler: "Additional Kai Subtypes and Forms" (click to show/hide)

All
Climate Adaptation
Lowered Food Requirements
Durable

Queen-line
W: Armored, Improved Natural Weaponry, Tough
T: Intelligent, True Hands, Improved Senses

N: Regeneration, Hermaphrodite

Brood-line
T-Line: Intelligent, True Hands, Improved Senses
N-Line: Regeneration, Hermaphrodite
s-Line: Camouflage, Flight, Improved Multisense, Small
P-Line: Armored, Bloodthirsty, Omnivore

A WT Soldier has Armored, Improved Natural Weaponry, Tough, Intelligent, True Hands, and Improved Senses.

Two overlapping traits will make it even stronger, because fuck trying to do gene charts for that many lines. I am crazy, not stupid.


****
(Ts) Stalker: The Scout version of a Hunter. Little to no armor to speak of, but just as dangerous and even more capable of hiding.

(WP) Reaper: This is to the Predator what the Predator is to a Soldier. Painfully slow, but it can destroy pretty much anything in its path. This particular form is adapted specifically to Mars.

(BT) Mind Flayer: Most of the time, a Mind Flayer is a communications relay. In combat, it uses its mind-speak to kill.

(Bs) Infestation: Also known as "Brain Slugs Mk 1", the Infestation is a specialized smaller Grub that spits /emits a variety of chemicals and/or toxins.

(Body caste) Pollinator: Exactly what it says on the tin. A specialized Kai designed to respond to the needs of the Flowers, with little to no other cognitive functions. Between "Grub" and "Drone".

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I'd like to have commander that is Techqueen's spawn  and interacts closely with humans. TN would be ideal

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

Queen of EDIT: Mind, hive located near a volcano if possible.

[RAM]

I would like a mind queen somewhere with a low chance of biped interaction.
