You mean thermal...? You cant detect "biological" signatures, Biological life usually emit Thermal signatures, if that's what you mean.

That is what I meant, sorry for the confusion.

Also, doesnt Thermal energy requires A medium to travel through? like AIR? so I dont think it will work in space, but otherwise logic is perfect!

Don't mean to be rude but I assume you didn't take physics beyond the Int1 level. Thermal energy can travel through space. Least if my memory doesn't fail me, but Physics isn't really my subject.

If you count Radiation, not conduction or convection, then technically, Yes it can travel through space, but the heat we now dearly that is commonly transferred is Convection or conduction, most creatures I believe don't emit Radiation.((wee i feel smart))

I'm currently in a highschool level chemistry class so i'm going to stop talking kthxbai :D

Black-body radiation. Type of radiation depends on temperature. 'S why things glow when hot, why stars are bright, etc. etc.

IIRC, room-temperature is in the infrared range.

Also, there's a decent amount of radioactive material in your body right now. I think there's ~40mg of potassium-40, among other things.

So, detecting "biological" signatures would probably mean "check in the infrared spectrum."

Quick edit: That said, unless you're looking at a star or something, chances are anything warm enough to be an active mechanical device or life in space will glow like all hell on an infrared camera and stick out like a sore thumb. So yes, if you want passive sensors to detect life or what have you, go with infrared.

All creatures emit radiation, glad to see you understand some of what you are talking about.

If you have enough sensors, you should be able to see and track a fly on a planet on the other side of the solar system. My vote is building moar sensors.

Starting the update now but I will go ahead and state building more of the basic level sensors will not let you sense more things, the only thing more sensors will do in this case is add redundancy not to mention take up the small amount of space your shell has left.

You order the construction of a Mining Corvette as the first ship to ever be constructed in your naval docks, after shipping over the needed resources and watching as the dock programs stir the structure to life you order the construction of a drone bay in the solar complex. Turning your attention from those more trivial constructions you set the majority of your SCDs to a far more important task, the creation of one of your orbital railgun platforms, they set to work quickly and within a handful of hours the weapon that will make up the center of the structure begins to take shape. Nearly a fourth a mile in length, and capable of firing specialized house sized shells made for the sole purpose of destroying ground based targets effectively and as accurately as possible, quite content with yourself you turn yourself to your research.

Your advanced electronics fabrication goes smoothly, and ends quickly with a rather more resounding result then you had hoped, during the process of finding the fabrication method for adv. electronics you uncover ways to refine simple ores into advanced and vice-verse. Elsewhere your attempts at disassembling and recreating the blueprint for an HMK-47 go slowly as you are forced to take extra precautions due to the weapons highly volatile nature though you succeed you fear that you'll need far more advanced facilities to construct this weapon. Your third and final research into improving your current passive sensors hits a wall yet again, you manage to make some progress but you feel luck or whatever cosmic power governs breakthroughs isn't quite on your side at this moment.

Frustrated with your failures with improved sensors you turn your focus to coming your database for any mentions of  FTL travel and quickly find several very useful bits of information. You find that you easily understand FTL as sub-space travel and ways to implement as given evidence by the transfer stations you crafted, it seems sub-space travel is a method that seemingly compresses space itself (or thats what the theories on your database say) meaning distances of several hundred light years might be only a three or four in sup-space. Alongside that sub-space also allows for travel at such speed as to be faster than light, which means a trip that might take several hundred years in real space might take a few days in sub-space. You believe that with much better facilities you could create a device that would allow your ships to travel through sub-space, but of course you are far from that currently ...

A message pulls you from your revelry and you turn your sights from the databases to your sensors just in time to watch your mining corvette get pushed free from the docks and drift slowly out into space. Suddenly power kicks on throughout the vessel and its mainframe connects to you, a deep satisfaction fills you as you think of how valuable this could prove to be ...

Construct additional Research-Lab / upgrade existing one/s
More than three projects might cause clutter. Giving a bonus of some kind to rolls might be better. Your call thou.

Construct Ammunition for our newest weaponary
Boom, baby. What, reasonable text-expectations not met? ;З

Research advanced arms facilities
Because having means to produce these warheads would be fine indeed.

Research / Plan ways to enhance the station
More space, better defenses - the works.

begin refining Adv electronics, at least 5

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.
