I think I'll again break my SG rule, although I will probably only +1.

[Evil Lincoln]

The plan was to update now but I got called out on an emergency (I just had to watch a movie with friends).

I Hank Rearden is the winner so far so I drew my interpretation:

He'll probably be this big in each image:


I was going to do a big list of items and give you a pile of money to buy them but I ran out of time tonight. I had a thought and since I haven't written the list yet there isn't any harm in asking you guys if you actually want it, or if you would prefer to say something like "We are going to start a mining operation using heavy machinery and clone labor" and I give you something based on that (obviously only a small mining operation in this case).

Anyway i'm going to bed.

[Tomcost]

The cigarette was a cool touch.

I don't have idea about the resources of the planet, but I think that mining would be something nice to begin with.

Ptw.

Mercenaries! And Weapons! One always needs both on Frontier Planets...we also need them to reconquer buy back our own Mega-Corp

+1 I like mercs and guns.

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

and ming. +1 to mining mercs, and guns.

[Remuthra]

So do you want a list or let me decide what you start out with?

EDIT: If you want me to decide you'll need to tell me whether you are going to use clones or robots as your labor.

[Playergamer]

I think they wanted a list, but had minor Man of SCIENCE!!! syndrome and started planning ahead.

Yeah, someone said mine and then all bets were off.

[3man75]

I Vote we start our Private policing company {is this place just barely populated or already established?} called raven's tears and start patrolling {and collecting tax for operations}.

[Tomcost]

I can't decide between robots and clones. On one side, clones are unethical, but easy to manfactre, requiring only biomass. On th other hand, robots are fine, but will certainly require us to advance in our tech tree. Damn.

Anyway, as we are a businessman, screw ethics! Go with clones

[Playergamer]

We have gained control of this world with our armies of clone soldiers! This whole world is to play tribute to us!

[Evil Lincoln]

Of course, you are Hank Rearden, Ex-CEO of Rearden arms and now CEO of, well, yourself. You're company was stolen from you in a backroom deal and now you plan to work your way back to the top out here on the frontier.

After the deal went down the new owner owner of the company, Grendel Rearden (your former sister now arch enemy) threw some money around and had your bank accounts drained of cash. God she's a bitch.

Anyway all you had left was 23,001 credits which you spent on securing the supplies and equipment you would need for this grand enterprise...

Well, securing what supplies and equipment you could still get since your sister was paying people off not to sell to you.

Such a bitch.

Spoiler: Misc Stuff you should read (click to show/hide)

On power:
All the building/modules/equipment things take 1 power unless they have the words medium or large in front of them. Medium things take 2 power large takes 3.

Lasers do less damage then electromag weapons but don't need ammunition.

If you want clones or robots to be in a management position like squad leader/foreman they need to have management training. If you don't have any clones with management training things will get inefficient.

Vehicles with a weapon will drain battery when they fire the weapon.

Research lets you reverse engineer stuff like buggies and mechs and whatnot. But if the colony next door sells you a mech they designed and you reverse engineer it and start selling it, they are going to be very upset. Reverse engineering any of the stuff in this list is fine because it's basic so no one will really care or notice.

Robots need to charge for 5 turns a day.

I Vote we start our Private policing company {is this place just barely populated or already established?} called raven's tears and start patrolling {and collecting tax for operations}.

This place is the kind of area where it is viable be a private military contractor offering protection if that is what you want to do.

Also you'll need a name for this company.
If you guys want you can pick an animal (like the before mentioned raven) or item or something for me to base a logo on. Otherwise i'll try and base on on the name of your company as best I can.
My suggestion is The European Badger.
