Can I research new techs now myself?

I don't quite understand the question.

Here, let me ask this instead.

What's the list of actions we can perform in each of the turns?

[10ebbor10]

First Turn
- New ship design
- Modification of ship designs.
- New research
- Researching things already on the market
- Upgrading facilities, paying for research

Second turn
- Last ditch design changes
- Competing for contracts
- marketing
- Selling stuff
- Corporate Espionage
- Upgrading facilities, paying for research to be completed.

Hoping I haven't forgot anything

If your Deviation-22 character is any example, Taricus, I am inclined to believe you about the horrific weapon thing. 

An edit to my previous post containing my full turn 2 is incoming!  Also, a question: is it more economical to steal another player's tech or research it myself?

[Aseaheru]

So, can I still join in some aspect?
If so:

Depends if you can afford the lawsuits for the aftermath

Just a general reminder, you do need to propose a price if you want to sell anything.

Is it possible to propose a price range? And will the price paid go up if demand exceeds supply significantly?

No, and no. Your ships are not sold in a vacuum, prices of other players greatly affect your sales. And those mechanics would get extremely complicated if I have to deal with price ranges.

[Nunzillor]

When we are selling services and not goods, is it alright to ask the other party for an offer?

You see, my ships are not for sale.  Harassment, destruction, and aggravation are.

[10ebbor10]

No.

Edit: Designing and selling is pretty much the point of this game. There are rules to allow for harassment and destruction, but it isn't the centerpiece of the game.

[Nunzillor]

Okay.  I have edited my previous post to reflect that.

[Aseaheru]

So... Am I in the game currently?

[10ebbor10]

Not really. I'm 2 people over my intended amount of players already, and there's another 2 people on the waitlist.

[Aseaheru]

Ah, thats a pity.

Need NPCs or bad guys?

[Nunzillor]

Don't worry man, I'm sure that some of us will be bankrupted by rival corporations or attacked by rival governments soon.  Spots will open probably.
