We are at the teetering edge of something great. Why stop marching in the name of progress? Petty qualms and superstition?

We aren't making deals with them, at least we think we are not. We aren't even talking to them.

The magic happens when our men learn from them. Observing their form, and what they do in their every day "lives" teaches our soldiers the anomalous abilities and how to use them.

Yes, an artillery would be nice. Especially if it does have that extremly long range ability, but I feel putting our best weapons to the cutting edge would be better.

Here's an idea for a plan: this turn we design and refine something that utilizes rare chemicals and use our resource credit to make it cheaper, then next turn we do whatever we have to for a design and use the revision on something like Refinery, Refined to increase our chem production.

[The Ensorceler]

R.A./M.P. (Reinforced Armor/Multi-Purpose) Suit:

The base of the suit consists of ceramic and steel recombined plates slid into pouches of a rubber suit reinforced with a metal webbing. The head is hooded and comes with a mask that contains a particle filter.

The R.A./M.P. Suit is designed to interface with Militarized Baseline ports and can distribute the contents of a vial to those ports at the push of a button, coming with a default "boost mode" of synthetic adrenalin. Combat Drugs such as Fury can be loaded as well, simply by replacing the vial.

A small heating/cooling system and the injection pump are housed in the backplate and are battery operated. Due to relatively low power use, well maintained and replaced batteries are expected not to run dry in normal use.

I think once we have good armor we'll be stabilized and able to coast for a while, freeing us up for bigger things. Apologies to R.A./G.E., but I think Fury is bad, and should be replaced.

[Man of Paper]

My only problem with RAMP, which is better than RAGE don't get me wrong, is that we don't have other combat stims to use, so a potential increase in difficulty for the base design to be built around a variety of stims seems unnecessary this turn. Unless we plan on creating a new stim next design phase then I think it's best if we save the multipurpose usage of the suit for the revision after we design a stim. That said, I do have a couple ideas on that front as well. I'll refine them as I work and post them when I get home tonight.

I like RAMP though, and if we can all agree to introduce a new stim immediately then I might be convinced to get behind it. The protection is the most important part right now, I think we can agree on that at least.

[The Ensorceler]

I don't think it needs a real stim to be deployed, I just wanted it to remain compatible without needing to be modified. Then we might as well load the injector with something, and I think adrenaline is a good placeholder that won't increase the cost of the armor.

[Gear]

I feel that getting the strategic advantage cannot let us down in many ways, although I'm also torn between DREAM and RA/MP. RA/MP will allow us to use our great soldiers to their fullest while DREAM will help with everything. Simply put, the difference between the two is whether or not the edge goes into tactical or strategic value.

I want to get this ball rolling, and honestly either option is fine by me - I can always propose DREAM next turn, though I'd rather get ahead of ORACLE now. I think we might be able to float a new stim as a revision. Tell me what you think:

QuickSilver Performance Enhancement Drug

QuickSilver is produced using a modified Fury formula. By altering the ratio of specific chemicals we were able to isolate and severely reduce or remove the unadulterated rage that came as a side effect of using Fury. The changes turned the mixture a pearlescent silver with the physical properties of it's namesake. QuickSilver fortifies muscle and increases blood flow, and works to nearly negate fatigue while present in the system. Increased strength is no longer present in subjects, but they retain presence of mind.

Design: R.A./M.P. (Reinforced Armor/Multi-Purpose) Suit
(Easy) (1+4)+1 = 6: Above Average

The RA/MP Suit is a simple yet effective set of armor to be issued to all our soldiers. Using metal recombination with ceramics and steel combined with a rubber suit, we can create a surprisingly durable piece of armor without sacrificing agility or speed. A small system on the back -- vaguely resembling a small "backpack" -- stores up to 6 drug vials, along with batteries for the suit's injection and heating/pumping. Using a series of buttons at the wrist, soldiers can inject any of these vials at will. The pumping system combined with the Militarized Baseline ports already present on our soldiers mean that the effects of any injected drug are nearly instantaneous.

Small-caliber bullets from conventional Mereth rifles can still pierce the armor, but lethal damage from these is now a rarity and oftentimes soldiers can effectively shrug off a couple bullets. Higher-caliber bullets from autocannons are still dangerous, but survival rate of soldiers is expected to go way up thanks to our new armor. And this isn't even factoring in the drug injection component.

A "hood" covers the top of the head, with the front being obscured by a particle filter mask. Both these components are Recombined to be durable, though not as durable as the main armor around say, the torso. The armor itself is surprisingly inconspicious in appearance, thanks to its unique recombinated nature. We also issue a nice jacket to our men to accompany the hood and boost morale. Red theming and the insignia of Aratam are prominent throughout.

Spoiler: Rough Appearance (click to show/hide)

((Picture not mine; RA/MP fairly closely resembles this picture, albeit the mask has a standard visor covering the eyes -- said visor can't really be seen through from the outside, and internal lighting gives it a minor red glow.))

The armor costs 2 Ore and is Cheap. It'll be issued to every member of the Aratamite armed forces, with minor variations based on those wearing it.

Spoiler: Designs (click to show/hide)

Transport Capacity: 2/3 (2/2 Oil Imported)
Resources: 3 Ore, 4 Oil, 2 Rare Chemicals

Weapons

• "Machete" Pistol: A 6-round semiautomatic pistol semi-accurate up to Short range. Reliable.
  [Cheap] 1 Ore
• "Jumper" EMA Grenade Launcher: The Electromagnetically Assisted Grenade Launcher "Jumper" is roughly the shape of a very noticeably thicker bazooka-like assembly. It uses inefficient brick-sized SynthOil batteries that provide enough charge for one shot per battery. Once a battery is inserted, the Jumper has to "charge" for roughly thirty seconds before being able to fire, and can fire 1.5 inch specially-made grenades with "average" radii and okay accuracy, silently. It's fairly bulky. The manufacturing of the coilgun adds severe complexity.
  [Expensive] 2 Ore, 1 Oil, Complex
• HMKR-59 'Osprey': Hybrid Magnetic Kinetic Rifle; a variant of the Pursuit rifle that houses coilgun components to increase the velocity of bullets after conventional firing. Has a slot in the back for a single SynthOil battery, which has enough charge for 10 powered shots (soldiers carry 2 batteries total). Powered shots are accurate to Medium range (unpowered shots to Short range) and have increased lethality and armor piercing capabilities.
  [Cheap] 1 Ore, 1 Oil
• Tesla Rifle: A "rifle" that fires bolts of ARC lightning at Medium range. Using an inner "Lightning Rod" chamber, it gradually charges from a backpack SynthOil battery - it has four levels of charge, with Level 3 being the optimum Medium range + good lethality and Level 4 being overkill with a chance of explosive backfiring. It takes about 60s to charge to Level 3 (charging can be paused but the charge decays slightly over time), and the battery has enough juice for 5 Lvl3 shots. Extremely lethal against anything conductive, and has a modest area-of-effect as the electricity arcs to other conductors in close proximity. Can be hooked up to external SynthOil batteries as well. Soldiers pre-charge to Level 3 when aware of hostile situations, but are still vulnerable to ambushes.
  [Cheap] 2 Ore, 2 Oil
• "Storm" GMRL-ECP-61S: A 250lb active radar homing missile with a 6km range and 5m effective blast radius. Fired from 4-rail trucks (with radar) and aircraft mounts. It has a poor resolution, greatly decreasing the reliability of locking onto non-huge aerial targets and making locking onto surface targets next-to-impossible, though large ships prove easy targets. Equipped with an HE or ARC warhead, with the ARC warhead using a chain SynthOil reaction to generate arcing electricity frying electronics and melting metal as it jumps from conductor to conductor.
  [Cheap] 3 Ore, 4 Oil
• "Red Skies" Multiple Missile Launcher: A 300 lb version of the Storm missile using Inertial guidance and adapted entirely for surface-to-surface use. Has a SynthOil-based incendiary payload that's capable of effectively burning through armor, but is less immediately destructive. Has a range of 15 km. Its guidance allows it to easily and effectively target any ground point, but it can't change course mid-flight and can't actively track any targets; its effectiveness in accuracy mostly is based on what intelligence the operator has when firing. Intended for use as surface-to-surface artillery.
  [Cheap] 3 Ore, 4 Oil

Land Vehicles

• M3T1A1 Raider: The Raider is a Diesel-Electric tracked APC designed to serve as a base platform for many roles. It has light RHA armor with a sloped front, plus slats. It holds ten passengers and three crew. It has an interchangeable turret, which is very wide and flat with medium armor. Default armament is a Can shredder, plus 6 external Thumper barrels for smoke grenades and an RPG, these can only be reloaded from the outside. It's also chemical warfare protected, and amphibious, with a trim vane and two electric powered propellers. Exits are on large rear hatch and one small top hatch, only latter can be used while afloat.
  [Cheap] 3 Ore 2 Oil
• Privateer 1 1/2 Ton Truck: An antique Cannalan truck somehow still being used for cargo transport.
  [Cheap] 2 Ore, 2 Oil, Provides 1 TC
• "Halberd"-Electromagnetic Coil Cannon Battletank ECCB-60: A large silent tank armed with a 120mm coilgun and a coaxially-mounted unpowered auto-loading Osprey. Has a respectable speed for its size, and the Coilgun turret is powered but manually aimed. Powered by two SynthOil batteries - one provides enough power for six Coilgun shots, the other provides enough power for four hours of full throttle movement and ten hours of less-fast "travel" movement.
  [Expensive] 5 Ore, 4 Oil
• "Ettin" Electric-Motor Flak Tank EMFT-61-B: A "tank" where the turret is an unarmored cage on top of the squat chassis where the gunner sits; two self-loading automatic cannons fire automatically in consecutive fashion flak shells to shoot down aircraft and infantry. The turret can be angled downwards effectively to shoot at infantry; limited ammo supply means the gunner has to be somewhat conservative with his firing patterns and can't just fill the sky with flak. Electric computer & radar guidance overlays a digital crosshair on a small sheet of "glass" in front of the gunner that is overlaid on top of the physical crosshair to maximize accuracy, allowing for decent accuracy as long as the aircraft isn't too fast or evasive. The commander and driver reside in the cramped interior and exit/enter largely via a door to the side, with the front of the tank being heavily angled downward for firing angle reasons. The turret is armored, but has poor visibility. Can travel for 10 hours on a full SynthOil battery, and the gun doesn't require power to operate.
  [Expensive] 5 Ore, 4 Oil

Air Vehicles

• M1942 A-5B 'Spearhead-B' Air Superiority Fighter: Following Forenia's Thunderbird design, the Spearhead is an aluminum-built fighter with two turbojet engines. A heavy Can Shredder sits in the nose. Two Morei turbojets burn kerosene and take some advantage of experiences of the Bull tank's turboshaft, it includes a water-cooling system (the shared radiator creates a third intake under the body). On the other hand, when it's keeping good speed it can make impressive turns thanks to its hydraulic control system; the pilot can pull the relatively large control surfaces with ease. A hardpoint for 500lb bombs or missiles has been added under each wing.
  [Expensive] 4 Ore, 4 Oil
• M1948 A-6 'Torch' Jet: A large jet built with metal-recombinated materials, giving it good structural integrity and relatively good durability. An integrated Gel-Matrix Bio-Paste Reactor is used to power electrical systems and SynthOil tanks are used to fuel both the reactor and the combustion Ramjets. The heavy weight of the reactor and its shielding give the Torch a speed notably higher than the Torch but still not matching Mereth's Blizzard jet craft. Different systems provide the Torch with great relative agility, but only SEEM Operatives are capable of properly operating the complex controls in the airplane (though their enhanced abilities are a huge boon with speed and agility). 2 always-powered Ospreys are mounted on the front, along with two Bomb/Missile mounts on each wing.
  [Very Expensive] 5 Ore, 4 Oil (Expense can only be as low as current SEEM expense)

Navy

• Corsair Destroyer: The Corsair is a moderate sized ship with light (for a ship) steel hull armor. It has a light cannon armament of two hydraulic-equipped Nightwind cannons and four Can Shredders. However, its main armament is its Shark Torpedo launchers (it has a couple on each side) and newly-invented Seahorse mines, which use the same warheads as Shark torpedoes but rest on the sea surface, detonating on cpntact with ships. It is powered by steam turbines and easily outpaces battleships like the Kalmar, Kraken and Kurokami.
  [Expensive] 4 Ore, 3 Oil
• Santos-Class Naval Aircraft Support Vessel: The Santos is a large aircraft carrier. It is about the size of the Khorne but not armored. It's powered by four oil-burning steam turbines. The hangar deck stores two dozen fighters, moved to the flight deck by a hydraulic lift. On deck is an Eagle Eye Radar system, con tower, a few Firecracker AA guns and a miscellaneous autocannons wherever there's spare room. It also has a decent sized flight deck, with an arrester cable for landing aircraft, and two overlapping runways with room for ready aircraft on deck. [5 Ore, 4 Oil]
  [Expensive] 5 Ore, 4 Oil
• SLS-61 Magpie: A basic landing ship with a bow able to open up with a ramp to allow vehicles and troops onto the shore, and has extremely basic treads to de-beach itself. Has Thin armor and a few mounts for infantry rifles on the top to provide basic covering fire. Powered by Gen 1 SynthOil engines, which requires it to use the majority of its cargo space to hold enough SynthOil to make it across the sea without running out of fuel. Normally has a modest capacity for soldiers (and capable of holding a few moderate-sized vehicles), but the fuel requirement limits it to only a small amount of soldiers and/or perhaps one tank at best.
  [Cheap] 3 Ore, 3 Oil
• Atlas-class Cargo Ship: A Santos-class with the weaponry and aircraft equipment and just about everything else stripped off. Utilizes SynthOil batteries for general powering of ship, though oil-burning steam turbines from the Santos still power most of it. Uses a system derived from Cryostats to cryogenically freeze perishable cargo as well as people for maximum storage efficiency.
  Provides 2 TC

Chemicals & Drugs

• Spice: An extremely potent manufactured drug resulting in extreme schizophrenia, delusions of power, frequent seizures, and eventually death. Extremely addictive. Those who undergo the week-long "Goldeneye" treatment in a CryoStat tank become accustomed (and permanently addicted) to low dosages of Spice, enabling very high awareness of surroundings and mildly increased reaction and thinking speeds when under the influence of the drug.
  [Expensive] 5 Rare Chemicals.
  
  • SEEM: Systemic Elimination of the Entropic Mind. An extremely intensive and long procedure where top-ranked veterans are subjected to week-long bouts of sensory deprivation in CryoStat tanks, and have their mind essentially transformed into a new form via the combined use of modified Metal Recombinators and Spice. For now, this allows survivors of the treatment to exhibit extreme (much higher than Goldeneyes) awareness of surroundings, visible or not. This awareness manifests itself in many ways, from avoiding traps/bombardments to knowing where to shoot at to knowing when one's being shot at, and more.
    [Very Expensive] 5 Rare Chemicals, Complex
• Combat Drug 'Fury': A Spice-based drug that massively decreases reaction time, and lasts for ~2 hours. Also incites rage, decreasing soldier effectiveness at range and chances of occasional friendly fire. Mild hallucinations are common, preventing users from being effective at recon/espionage/etc. roles. Makes veins much more apparent and red. Addictive, and takes effect >5 minutes after injection.
  [Expensive] 3 Rare Chemicals
• Metal Recombinators: A special mixture that separates pure metal from ore, obsoleting a large part of Aratam's refining industry. A variant can also be used to fuse metal with (likely) any other matter.
  Provides 1 Ore.

Other

• R.A./M.P. Suit: A metal/ceramic/rubber recombinated suit of armor with heating/cooling capabilities and a quick-inject system where any single one of 6 vials stored in a back compartment can be instantly injected w/ instant effects by a series of buttons on the wrist. Contains a default adrenaline mix, but vials can be filled with FURY, SEEM, or other drugs. A particle filter and visor (w/ internal red lighting) covered by a recombinated hood sit on the head, and a jacket covers the rest of the suit for appearance/morale sake. Light, yet surprisingly durable: survival rates of soldiers are increased greatly across the board, with soldiers oftentimes being able to shrug off light-caliber shots from Merethan rifles. Looks like this, but with a slightly-red-glowing visor instead.
  [Cheap] 2 Ore
• CryoStat Tank: A large three-meter tall "coffin" with a small glass vertical slit inside showing a tank. A single "set" of machinery required for operation, taking up ~36 square meters of space total, can manage roughly a dozen CryoStat tanks at a time. Basic automation assists technicians, allowing for a single technician to manage many CryoStat tanks. Subjects are put into "stasis" via a numbing solution they're submersed in, and medical drugs in the solution naturally infuse into the bloodstream through the skin. Once taken out. Use is tracked through a computer-assisted bureaucracy dubbed the "CryoState". A day stabilizes minor life-threatening wounds, and a week stabilizes near all wounds. A month starts completely healing scars and generally brings up health status to pristine, and a year can restore lost limbs. Also used for life-extending "rejuvenation" processes by important people.
  [Cheap] 2 Rare Chemicals
• SynthOil: SMRO-58 "SynthOil" is an advanced form of oil - it's made using a combination of oil and other chemicals, making a much more stable and energy-dense solution. Has a peculiar property - with the right tools, it can directly produce electricity.
  Provides 1 Oil
• Gel-Matrix Bio-Paste Reactor: A 1m-radius spherical "nuclear-ish" reactor that uses gamma radiation to break down SynthOil into electrical energy. Rather efficient and good at making energy, especially compared with anything else in the world comparable in size/expense, but hard to miniaturize and has a notable radiation poisoning issue with anyone spending a notable amount of time in proximity.

Infrastructure

• The Refinery: An extremely secretive facility hidden under the canopy in a remote part of the rainforest, identifiable only by its smoke. Contains large liquid storage tanks and refineries for the production of chemicals, well-equipped laboratories, cells for test subjects, a steady supply of test subjects from Aratam's prisoners, and more. Useful as a base for chemical research.
  Provides 1 Rare Chemical
• The Militarized Baseline: Our soldiers are enhanced above regular humans (in notable, but not major ways) in many categories; namely strength, reflexes, and intelligence. All soldiers now have implanted ports for quick drug infusion, and a logistical structure is in place to facilitate the drug infusion and treatments of the entire Aratamite military.

• Embassy "The Brewery": An embassy for Cannalan diplomats that doubles as a highly advanced brewery of Aratam's signature drink, Arachaca. The Cannalans can see the brewing process below through their glass flooring and taps straight form the brewery are available for Arachaca straight from the source. Uses basic electronic systems for very limited automation in conjunction with its general advanced brewing systems.

The Revision Phase of Spring 1963 has begun.

I will change my vote once it becomes aparent which one people like best.

"Glaive" Electromagnetic Coil Cannon Battle Tank ECCB-72

The Glaive is in many aspects, very similar in construction, and quality to the ECCB-60. The starkest difference is the incorporation of a Gel-Matrix Bio-Paste Reactor as a replacement to its batteries, along with a severe re-working of the cannons, autoloader and electrical system to be simpler to produce, maintain and keep functional in the battlefield and to reduce the logistical burden on our supply corps. (-1/2 metal cost.). Cup-holders and syringe racks in cryogenically refrigerated vending machines are included as well so as to secure the logistics of shipping our most valuable resource to the field.

Also, we replace the Osprey with a Tesla Rifle modified for tank defending duties.

Neural Shunts

Through the installation of a high-yield Titanium construction "shunt" that, when installed, completely cuts off the connection of the central nervous system to the peripheral nervous system, while still being removable and allowing complete re-connection to the PNS after removal of the shunt. This monumental invention allows for far more concentrated and potent chemical augmentations to be committed on a person for the process of soldiers undergoing Golden-Eye or SEEM augmentation. These potent pharmaceuticals will allow for an augmentation program to be completed on shorter timelines and with a notable decrease of resource-intensive on the part of Cryogenic Infrastructure and life support equipment. Ultimately, fewer resources are invested into keeping an individual alive for their time in the cryogenic tank, and more chemical stocks are invested into creating the augmented individuals in a more timely, efficient manner.

The Neural Shunt works by disrupting a partition of the spinal cord with an electromagnetic field, allowing life support to take over the critical functions of the body without more invasive surgical intervention once the shunt is installed through a one-inch incision to access the surface of the spinal cord. The spinal cord itself is completely unharmed as the magnetic field can interfere with the connection to the rest of the body without cutting into the bone to access the nerves. Once the procedure is complete, the shunt can be turned off and either surgically removed, or left in place for further procedures.

Subjects with an active Neural shunt are completely paralyzed, in a state where they are without any sensory input, similar to that of a sensory deprivation chamber. More medically inclined individuals point out the possibility of distribution in medical settings, as it can completely supplant the need for anesthetic as patients with an active shunt do not feel pain.

Replace their stocks, grips and triggers with a left-handed gauntlet so you can take the recoil, and smile. You've got yourself a Vulture, a weapon designed to allow our poor Fury addicts to go toe to toe with Bear armor.

To clarify, does the Glaive attempt to reduce the cost of the cannon, or the entire tank by half? I also don't know if it needs a dedicated delivery role on top of being, you know, a tank but whatever.

More importantly, spending the resource credit on Rare Chemicals will only increase the amount of Fury we can deploy. Everything else stays at the same distribution level.   

Edit: Added Vulture
Edit: Changed battery description

[Blood_Librarian]

along with a severe re-working of the cannons, autoloader and electrical system to be simpler to produce, maintain and keep functional in the battlefield and to reduce the logistical burden on our supply corps. (-1/2 metal cost.)

Cost isn't just deployment. Cost isnt just making it and sending it ot the battlefield. It is the resources required to keep the thing functional in the battlefield as well as the initial cost to set it up. I aim to reduce both with a re-work, anything else is secondary.

I really don't see how a refrigerator to be stocked with chemicals would be that much of a burden.

Edit: Could you toss me a link ot the Division of Biological Manipulation?

[The Ensorceler]

Division of Biological Manipulation: Having a conclave ON TOP of the Refinery for this facility serves a different purpose than just playing with chemicals. It has its own research dedicated to biological knowledge, but more importantly the manipulation of biological material including thing as the genome, DNA and RNA, and other such biological material. With this faculty in place it will be much easier to dedicate research into the manipulation of organisms, the amplifying the effects of drugs, and even the manipulation of organs to create... super soldiers. Dedicated research teams, proper tools, even the necessary test subjects that have to take to human experiments. All this to make our understandings and future advancements of biology easier. The main tool to make it easier for us to mess with genetics, is through with chemical baths that surround the faculty and testing their effects on the victims, test subjects.

I changed my mind about what I wanted to do, but here's the original proposal. I guess it could still be popular.
