Answering question:
1.Only three build crews are working on stuff. Two on the Spess Magick, one on the Biochem Forge. It took thirty days to build the Forge, originally.
Hephaestus things:
2.Ask ARESTEVE to automate some basic practice/training stuff for the sods, so that they aren't just sitting around. They can learn, right?
3.Upload that program that records movements to, oh, a hundred robosods. Ask ARESTEVE to specifically get them to do a lot of varied movements, and shoot a lot of different guns.
4.Although I haven't updated the wiki (Will do either late Thursday, or Friday), two fleshpits finished expansion. Set them to restart.
Tinker:
5.The shock gloves give exactly 4 TPU, because they were specifically designed with powering laser rifles in mind. This is why the Testament originally used way more energy than it could reasonably need.
6.I'd like to take Anton's Gungnir Electrolaser idea, and modify it a bit. Instead of simply attaching a tesla saber, make a simple kit that adds a sparkgap to the front of a laser rifle, and links it to a 16 TPU rechargable battery. This is a thirtieth the capacity of a normal tesla saber battery. The kit should also link that 16 TPU battery to the laser's power supply, and to a secondary trigger.
7.When the secondary trigger is pulled along with the main one, the spark gap should start unloading eight TPU into the laser, horribly electrocuting whatever is being shot. Whenever neither trigger is pulled, the battery should recharge. This means that you'd have two seconds of electrolaser, with a four second recharge time.
8.Secondary mode: When only the secondary trigger is pulled, 4 TPU from the glove is directed into the sparkgap. This is effectively a shock bayonet.
9.Since this is just an extremely small battery, a spark gap, and some wiring, would it be possible to sell it at one token per kit? That would make a full electrolaser 4 tokens (2 laser, +1 gloves, +1 electrolaser kit), one token cheaper than the Spectr which can do a similar thing using it's microwave mode, plus a host of other stuff.
