Forty years ago, the space-faring Lamarckians arrived on planet earth. We were put under forty years of Lamarckian Yoke, until we finally regained our freedom as we finally proved to the Lamarckians that we are ungovernable, and will fight for our freedom at all costs.
The Lamarckians left us with the all-important piece of space-faring technology - the Hyperspace Engine, as well as myriad of innovations that would need a century to be developed independently. Stars that were tens of Lightyears away can now be reached within a year or so, and the new united world government has now appointed you to head the all-new Space Development Agency, which will be responsible for our space exploration, exploitation, expansion, and finally extermination of Lamarckians and anything that stands in our path.
For Humankind.
Within one year of its establishment, the Government has arranged for the following resources for the Agency:
1 1000t Spacedock @ Earth Orbit, 1000CP
Space Elevator servicing the Spacedock
1000 CP of production facilities, Max Tonnage = 100
Launch facilities for small craft
Your Corperal self
4 Research teams:
Team A(Large)
Team B(Medium)
Team C(Small)
Team D(Small)
Enough workers and robots for the facilities
2 Jake class Shuttle (salvaged)
10 Firefly class Space Superiority Fighters (very poor state of repair)
Countless eager bodies to serve:
Main Weapon: Machete Rifle
Sub Weapon: Lancer Pistolblade
Mundane Materials: Abundant (++++)
Exotic Materials: Hard to find (-)
Mundane fuel: Adequate (++)
Exotic fuel: under careful rationing (---)
Mundane Payload: under careful rationing (---)
Exotic Payload: None that we heard of(0)
Manpower: Highly Enthusiastic (+++++)
Budget: Priority lane (+++++)
Notes:
I have to use a lot of abstractions in this game: after all I set it IN SPACE. That said it is still in the vein of various similar games, and hopefully we will enjoy this.
I'm the sole judge of feasibility of any technology or engineering, so please explain as clearly as possible.
Rules:Shamelessly coped from ebbor.
1. All proposals must be bolded
2. All proposals must have an unique number
-In case of accidental duplication, please split in 6a and 6b, or add one to the end of the queue. Don't move up everything else. That causes confusion
3. All proposals must be marked as a Large, Medium or Small project.
4. Design proposals begin at 1, for each year
-Proposals continued from last year will be placed in italics, and include the year before the number. (Only do this for proposals that were worked upon).
5. Production proposals begin at A, for each year.
6. Other proposals, like reorganization of the team or political war plan suggestions will be marked using the greek alphabet
7. Proposals and Votes are unlimited. Please don't abuse this.
8. Each proposal that doesn't follow these rules will be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Example: 1. I propose we mount lasers on sharks 1920:1 Seeing as the project wasn't finished last year due to a shark shortage, I propose we continue with mutated Sea Bass1: All rules for proposals apply except the following.
2: Modifications to proposals will have a number in the format of proposal.sub-proposal.
3: A modification may be supportive (default) or a counter (must be explicit).
4: You can vote for a Proposal and it's supportive subproposal, but not for a proposal and it's counter subproposal.
1.1 I think we should go all the way and mount the National Ignition Facility on the head of a sharkasourus.
1.2 I counter propose that we should instead create lasers that shoot beams composed of sharks. Format for votes1: you must specify the proposal number explicitly.
2: you must use the word vote.
3: Each user should make all of their votes with one post if possible
4. You should edit in your vote into the proposal tracker (template below). Always use the latest quoted example.
