"Rose" defensive satellite. Cheap cubic plastic design with ion drives good enough to stay on orbit and aim. Armed with a single laser and rechargable batteries large enough to make two-three shots depending on time satellite was deployed
While being optimized for orbit use, may be used in minefields or towed by spacecrafts as makeshift external weapons.
Having no own power generation, those satellites require maintenance after long deployment or combat

- Research: (Ж 10,000)
--Develop advanced targeting protocols.
--Develop "Swarm AI"  AI capable to limited coordination with copies of itself

What's the power on solid fuel drives, compared to liquid?

[WhitiusOpus]

PTW, if still accepting.

"Valkyrie" interceptor. A small, 2-man steel-armored interceptor armed with twin lasers, and using liquid fuel boosters. Concentrate on making it as light as possible while still maintaining good structural integrity under fire.

Research (Ж 10,000):
Create faster, lighter engines using ICF pulse technology
Research high-output plasma maneuvering thrusters

Am I too late?  Damn it, I'm always too late to these things.

If not, I'm nabbing a slot. and my info will be up shortly.

Corporation name: Pax Shipping & Receiving, Inc.
Forum name: Nunzillor
Starting funds: 100,000 units.
Home planet: Pax of the Nemean Empire, but ostensibly Independent.  ((Gee, I wonder where all that Hologian Confederation piracy is coming from?))

Infrastructure:
1.  Design Complex
2.  Production Facility
3.  Research Facility
4.  Hacked Communications Array (Allows for the interception and optional modification of secure information, decrypted and encrypted on-the-fly.  Can also attempt to overwhelm a ship or corporation's communications infrastructure by transmitting a large number of long, nonsensical auditory or visual signals within a short time period.)

First turn orders:
Design work (50,000 units):
X1 Diplomatic Craft (steel ship with liquid fuel.  One cockpit.  No passengers, limited amount of cargo space.  Both a cannon and a laser.  Concentrate on firepower.)

Y1 Surveyor (plastic ship with liquid fuel.  One cockpit.  No passengers.  No cargo.  As many lasers as possible without seriously hampering speed and maneuverability.  Focus on speed and maneuverability.)


Research (15,000 units):
Active camouflage capable hulls
Hacking capability (of both planet-side and ship-side systems)
Advanced Pilotless Navigation

Significantly stronger, but they have far less fuel endurance, depending on design. Also, they can't be refueled, they need to be replaced with new solid fuel boosters.

"X-1 Interceptor" a small, single manned fighter craft. Made of steel with Solid fuel engines, no storage or cargo space, a under mounted Cannon and short range sensors.

Class-A Carrier, a huge steel construct, with large holds for smaller aircraft.
Tech inside: Ion Engines, Alcubierre drive, a bridge (?) control center (if not, I'll just used automated AI flight system), cargo space for at least 6 X-1's, ammunition and solid fuel storage, and Passenger Space for 12 crew members/ pilots. Has long range sensors and a twin linked laser on a 360 degree swivel mount mounted on the center top of the hull, with interface for a gunner inside the ship. Fighter bays are on the starboard and portside, with room for 3 interceptors each.

- Research (20,000)
:Stronger materials for cheaper cost and lighter weight
:More powerful laser weaponry/plasma weaponry
:A sort of "shielding" unit to help maintain hull integrity and provide extra protection over the armor of the craft (think force shield)
:Research into alternative weaponry not requiring a solid fuel source, such as "Gauss" or magnetic coil weapons

[10ebbor10]

Anyway, I apparently forgot to mention the difference between full researches and the 5000 cost preliminary research. The first is used for researching things that already exist, because they have been discovered by other players. The latter is used for new technologies.

[WhitiusOpus]

Ok, I'll edit somewhat.

[LordSlowpoke]

So you can't ignore the possibility of failing horribly at whatever you're willing to research in favor of being able to pump out two techs a year?

[10ebbor10]

There's no limit on how many preliminary studies you can do. No speed benefit in using full research.

The advantage of the more expensive research is that it has far better success rates. Still no guarantee, but it's far faster. As such, it's reserved for things which are known to work.

[WhitiusOpus]

So, how are you planning on accepting players, the turn, etc? Are you waiting on people to fix their mistakes, or just posting later? Also, noticed the 6 player limit. Who will be participating? Sorry if I seem direct or impatient, I don't mean to come off that way.

[10ebbor10]

Currently giving people some time to touch their turns, if they want too.

Also contemplating how I intend to choose players. Intended to go with a first come, first serve, because it's rather simple. Might not do that and instead bring out the RNG.
