The single means that its single berrel, you could get a quadmounted 30mm cannon for about 5pp.

As for the rest, production lines.

Bump and PTW. Oh hey, you took the advice I gave you on running a game! (Not sure if good thing or not :P)

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

You should really announce that sort of thing in a separate post (or it won't shop up in SNRtYP)
reading now.

Let's analyze that battle armor for weak points and Class Bs for possible vital organs. In the background, look up what designs we have for anti-material rifles. We'll need to know what we're dealing with, before we build them, but it never hurts to have an example to work off of.

I'd also suggest we see if we can learn their language from the technical aliens, and begin reverse-engineering the armor, however possible.

Reverse-engineer the rifles and PDWs, as well, preferably, but that's not a priority yet.

Also, for the UFO, figuring out how it works and what we could use to retrofit our CAT/Cs with so we could detect them would be nice.

Finally, as it is cold war era and this is a weapons design game, we need to research something ridiculous as well, because they did it in real life so why not? So, begin research on gyrojets, since they could actually end up being useful.

Dead aliens tell no tales.
[Description of Class Bs being resistant to small arms] All enemy combatants of this type where killed via fire from the gunships dispatched. There where also a pair of smaller combatants who where found dead on arrival, seemingly from cannon fire during aerial combat.

Bah. Then compile possible written language-stuff from the equipment, especially the armor and UFO.

Compile written language things

 Generic orders are given out, which cause some logistical messups, but of no matter. The Council starts thinking about seriously limiting your resources to fix this in future.

 Anyways. Autopsies are preformed on the Class As and Class Bs. Their basic genetic code is similar enough to assume they evolved in the same area, but there their simalarities end. Class As appear to have eveoled in an aquatic enviroment while Class B's appear to have evolved on land, Class B's appear to have multible sets of organs, and then there are the ovious diffrences with apperince, mussle mass, etc. Class Bs appear, like humans, to be most vulnerable in the joints, where veins and similar are close to the surface and, unlike humans, have a series of large bony plates on the skull. Most worryingly, these combatants seem able to heal remarkibly quickly, there is hardly any damage from the crash apparrent.

 Work on the battle armor progressed aswell. Largly constructed of ceramic laced with a ferrous alloy yet unknown, this armor is stronger than anything we can construct and still be able to wear. It also appears to be weakist at the joints, although it is apparrent that massive ammounts of work was done to limit this weakness. The helmet is possibly one of the strongest pieces, and appears to have no visor, or even a screen.

 Reverse enginering samples of their weaponry (Type Ones and Type Threes) hasnot gone well, and little has been learned except that they appear to be some sort of projectile weapon made out of ferrous alloy, with ceramic bits.

 Meanwhile, workers have started takeing appart the UFO, yielding massive ammounts of ceramic, almost no metal, some crystal, and a pair of engines. The crafts computers have yet to be found, as have the flight instruments. Indeed, our designers are completly flumuxed on how the craft was piloted.

 When the mention of anti-Material rifles for our troops was raised to the military and the weapons designers, one of them pointed out that we still had a few AT rifles bought at the end of the second world war from various areas, the solothurn S-18/100. A grand total of eight of these are in stock, and no troops are trained to use them. also, no safe stocks of 20x105mm rounds exist, and the guns themselves may be unsafe. Our engineers think that they can easily make more of both, and the military thinks training should go fairly well.

 When we asked our engineers about Gyrojets they threw things.



 During all these events (covering a week) all sips at sea where recalled and what submearines we had in dock where sent out to various nations to see what happened. They should be back in about... two weeks.

 The aliens havent done much, they appear content to fly overhead where we cant do anything if we wanted to, and we have kept things stored away in the meantime.

Spoiler: AT rifle (click to show/hide)

Yah, I think I am gonna limit you guys a bit... Suggest things while I get it ready...

what was the update?

Also, should we produce things every turn? how much PP do we have?

Look up.

As for PP, currently unlimited, shortly to be severely limited.

And now limited.

Spoiler: Falcilities assigned (click to show/hide)

You can still get things made by the rest of the place, jsut ask, but these are for things that you need done fast, or prototypes.
Likewise, you can get more people assigned, again, ask.
