Your primary focus set on the research projects before you, you jump into your work, you are not sure if its hours, or days before you finally manage the completion of all three projects. The resulting influx of new blueprints is quite exhilarating as you gain access to even greater forms of power generation and sensors, on top of that your research into sub-orbital weapons goes well resulting in two different blueprints. The first of which is a heavy weapon, a deal smaller then the weapons any of your drones would field, based off the Yulith-Pattern turrets that is designed for the sole purpose of pumping massive amounts of armor piercing rounds into your targets. The second and final design is a much smaller, compact weapon fit for a small ground based droid of some sort that fires a much lower caliber bullet that, while not effective against armor, should tear up any fleshy or biological opponents your ground forces to be might face.
Elsewhere your SCDs pull out a non-stop construction progress within the shell, massive amounts of your stockpiles and the constantly flow of resources into the stockpiles disappear as they set to work. Within the first hour they build the frames for the power stations and then within four more they manage to finish both power stations and the refinery complex as well surprisingly enough. Soon after they scurry off to set up another automated mine, both of which to now be powered via the transfer stations, on one of the bigger asteroids as your harvesters begin to rapidly deplete resources on various asteroids.
All in all once the massive amount of work you set forth draws to a close you find your stockpiles now brimming with resources to be put to great use in whatever you deem fit to do next. Examining what you've done you're somewhat impressed, at least as impressed as an intelligent computer can get, of how far you've come from the bare bones station you had been a few days ago ...
Designation: Aegis or Aegis Station 22
Condition: Perfect
Shell: Derelict Defense Network Station 22
Shell Internal Space: Roughly 35% of your Shell is empty and can be used to store further facilities.
Station Hull Status
Central Spike Hull: Good Condition, mild damage and a handful of hull breaches but not to much.
First Ring's Hull: Poor Condition, around a third of the ring has been torn to shreds or fallen away at some point, a large amount of maintenance and repairs will need to be done. Not to mention manufacturing new segments to replace the lost segments in the ring.
Second Ring's Hull: Average Condition, the ring is mostly intact and has been restored to optimal condition though large sections are definitely missing.
Third Ring's Hull: Average Condition, only one or two sections of the ring are gone and for the most part the damage to this is mostly superficial with a handful of hull breaches.
