Phase 2/1
I'm glad this game as gotten a lot of interest, and there have been a large amount of interesting designs! I think its finally time for the first design phase to end~!

There has been some disagreement in how the voting should work, but in either case the
SD1 "Oversight" scanner won the vote!
SD1 "Oversight"
A basic handheld device with a small monitor attached to it. The device uses a combination of radar, infrared, and other techniques to locate other entities in the rough direction where it's pointed at. Anything detected shows up on the small monitor. The device is small and can be easily stored by anyone.
This device can be used by anyone and can be flicked on, improving our teams' spatial awareness at all times and keeping them from being caught unaware. It's recommended that multiple people get it to provide redundancy, but otherwise one person can operate the device while the rest have their weapons equipped, and the device can easily be stowed if needed.
Effectiveness: 1-Very Low
Cost: 4-Medium (20R/Unit)
Complications: 7- High. Fragile, Weather Weak
The design runs into problem after problem from the start. Precisely one thing went right: the project would cost
slightly less than projected. All the tools fit in the device, but it refused to play nice. Testing shows the devices to be incredibly fragile as it stands. A rough bump will knock the internals around enough to disable the device, and it is prone to breaking down whenever it feels like. Fortunately it is relatively simple to repair (at no cost). Unfortunately, its not quite simple enough to be done in field conditions. Another issue is the weather. Unusual wind or rain interferes with the sensors, preventing it from getting any meaningful readings. If all that wasn't enough, it is simply awful at getting any useful data. It works, but has a very low range-several meters. It is currently blocked by even thin obstacles, preventing it from being used practically see through or around objects.
On the bright-side, you have nowhere to go but up with this design!
Phase 2 Round 1
Production Phase
100R
Current Designs:
M4 Carbine: M9 Handguns: Interceptor Body Armor: M67 Fragmentation grenades
Low/Free/None.
Standard starting equipment. Some researchers theorize that the equipment you receive is old, damaged, or even sabotaged by enemy infiltrators. If true, than even producing clones in house would lead to more efficient weaponry.

It is currently the
Production phase. Please vote on your production order, which may be nothing if you wish to save resources for other project. You can also continue to vote on how we should all be voting!
