That seems like a reasonable suggestion SMMI, although I'd like to design a ship that is intended to use trim webs at some point, so as to avoid the cost spike.

Also, as our Viper was able to go toe-to-toe with half their maximum fleet and came out without them getting through the shroud, I think we can afford for them to use subpar tactics for another turn, whilst we create a marine tactic.

My idea is that we do a Marine and an Airship tactic

We need a better gun, I am going to vote for the gattling gun.

For the project, what if we bank one dice this turn, do two full designs next turn, then build and rush the viper docks on the third and fourth turn. 

We can have 3 research projects being done in the back ground with a few dice to mess with them while we finish the viper docks.

We cant do anything THIS turn though, we need that second viper up and running.

Although frankly, getting them to Three Captains will be a hassle...

Voting for the Vanguard because once it is finished I want to make a dismounted variant for our marines to have their own shiny energy cannon.

We appear to have lost VoidSlayer's votes.

Edit: Here's the link to the Cannon, I believe that is all we're doing for this phase.

Vanguard Cannon
[Time: 4 Progress: 1 Cost: 4]

There are numerous minor issues with the design that slow down initial progress, such as 'how' the water will be pumped within the cannon order to rotate the barrels, but engineers are able to draft some preliminary designs that are both reasonable to finalize within a few years and don't require a chunk of the sun and half the moon in terms of resources.

Vanguard Cannon: 1/18 | 2 Ore, 2 Crystal | Rushed 0 Times | Nothing Invested



It is the beginning of the revision phase. You have 2 dice left to spend.

That seems quite reasonable. I look forward to seeing the results.

Regarding revisions. People were wanting a number of tactics, and so I will leave the submission of those to them.

I however will resuggest this:

Quote from: Taricus
Re-synchronisation tools:
The serpentis has performed admirably, the risk of such a powerful and valuable vessel being rendered entirely useless with a de-synchronisation of it's core means that we must develop the tools to effectively re-sync the crystals in the field; as the class is reliant on a multi-core crystal for it's performance, such tools are necessary to maintain effective performance of the viper class and any other vessel which may yet use our medium core crystals.

A few of my suggestions for revisions
Quote from: Infantry Flanking Tactics
A modification of defensive fire tactics. In this tactic the marines split into two groups, one group continues to take potshots at the enemy from heavy cover occupying the enemies attention in the process. The other group will seek a way around (or to make a gap in the enemy lines away from the main battle line) behind the enemy defensive positions. They will attempt to do this unnoticed if possible. Once in position, they will attack the enemy defensive line suddenly and with force.

Quote from: Signal Flasher
A signal flasher is a large hooded lamp with an operatable shutter. By operating the shutter the user can transmit messages in Morse code to other ships. The large hood on the lamp helps prevent light from the lamp being observed from directions other than a cone in front of the direction the lamp is pointing. There is a mirror on the inside of the lamp opposite to the shutter to help boost luminosity. This method of communication should be usable in bad visibility conditions (up to a point), have very long range and be harder than flags for the enemy to see

Dude, we haven't rolled for the Design yet, just how long and what it'll cost to get progress rolling on it.

Also, since Flanking Tactics were already had I'll have a Hunting Tactic up soonish.
