Moonkiller Armor

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This stylish suit of alloyed armor is strait up medieval.  Large plates cover most of the body with thinner flexible scales covering joints, protecting against most small arms fire reliably and possibly even higher caliber guns.  It has menacing spikes on the helmet spikes and sharp blades over the right hand.  Mostly assembled in orbit from multiple launches due to it's extreme weight.

Ten Suns

This small remotely controlled satellite rotates a mirror surface to concentrate sunlight on a target in orbit.  The system is designed to be operated in groups to overheat a target.

S1 Bouncer

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This automated satellite receives and retransmits with directed radio waves, controlled by commands on the ground and carrying a solar panel for long term power.  Movement is controlled by a reserve of mono propellent.  They can be chained to allow fast communication over vast distances.

Needle LRAAM

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A Long-range air to air missile that uses semi-active radar homing.  Uses the same basic frame as the Needle SRAAM but with a larger reserve of liquid fuel and a higher thrust engine to compensate.  Loses accuracy at long range when it can not be directed.[1 Ore, 2 Chemical, Inexpensive]

LeGuMS - Laser Guided Missile System

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Develop a targeting laser which can supplement the existing radar targeting.  Longer range and more accurate in ideal conditions and can be added to all existing missiles and jets.

Then we add these to our satellites and have the ability to launch accurate long range missiles in LEO.

Sunrise Disposable Missile Sat
A simple design, essentially a bare-bones satellite based around a single missile tube. Not made to be reloaded, it is design almost resembles single shot infantry anti-tank and anti-air weapons. ...hard to do on phone.

If we really, really need to, you can always transfer someone from our side to the other one.

Are all of those Major projects?

It seems like most of those would be minor. Something to occupy the scientists when they're bored.

...Well we only have one lab, so those are all major projects.

For the development my vote is with the Sunrise. Could we please get an expense appraisal on it though?

And for our next technology to work towards, how does EM warfare sound to everyone? It's the kind of idea that I think really needs to be rushed towards, since if the USSA get to be able to shut down or hinder electronics when we don't even understand how that works it's going to seriously cause problems for our new unmanned weapon platforms.

[~Neri]

I vote Sunrise.

Next project should be EM.

[Stirk]

I like the EM idea, but I believe we should wait to see what happens this turn. I could see the EM being useful everywhere but the moon, but I think we should see where we are weak and focus there.

Bold your votes and designs, please.

If nothing goes wrong, it will probably be Inexpensive (I will never give out exact resource numbers; them's the brakes).

Heck yes. Space is ours gentlemen!

[Graknorke]

Ssh, you'll jinx it 
You only brag about it after seeing what happens.

Pfff. What is the worst that can happen? What could possibly go wrong? _{Did I miss one?}

[VoidSlayer]

As a note, with our current resources our small payload rocket should be inexpensive, so if the Sunrise is as well we can field a WHOLE BUNCH of em.

Also I am proposing my medieval plate mail armor as a real project next turn.

We should revise the 9mm to work better in low or zero gravity, maybe some kind of recoil compensator, even if we make the pistol heavier, if it is more stable we can pick them off clean.  As a bonus if we get a good recoil compensator we can add it to any new small firearm or vehicle machine gun designs.

Nevermind, just read the whole damn fiasco in the main thread.
