A good revision would probably be something that increases the number of charges. That shouldn't be too hard, maybe we can just roll the ship or something so all the lasers can fire at the enemy.

Alternatively, ramping up the power should work as well. These things are incredibly pitiful for space-based high-energy lasers right now, and it's sad.

[TricMagic]

Keep in mind we will only have 3 dice after this next jump for designing or revision. Extra Dice is good, and we can always increase Skeleton Space. Same with Life Support.

Wait what?

Or we could not throw good dice after bad. The Flashlight is about as useful as its namesake at noon. We could double the power without increasing the cost at all, and it still wouldn't be worth it.

[TricMagic]

Correction, 5 dice.. But still, extra dice for revision would be useful.

Every turn, you get 5 Dice. These can be saved for future turns, and/oror spent in the three phases detailed below:

More dice are good.

• Scrap the rooms: Gain 100 Metal and 150 Non-Metal and +1 Skeleton Space from taking apart the rooms and leaving the skeleton. (0)
  
• Convert the rooms: Converting the rooms into further R&D spaces could yield +1 Dice. (1) TricMagic
  
• Use the rooms: Gain +2 Life Support Capacity by using the rooms to house more crew in. (0)

If they're going to attack us it'll be either with Massdrivers, beams, or missiles/drones.

We're already covered for missiles/drones if they aren't small. By allowing for smaller targets, and by reminding our gunners that bigger targets are easier to hit, we should be able deal with anything that isn't a beam.

Design: Atmospherics System Conversion
-3 Power;   +12 LS Capacity;   -1 Skeleton Space
Consumes 20 Noble Gas / Jump
An atmospherics systems that uses Argon instead of Nitrogen and filters air. Uses basic heat recovery to decrease power consumption a bit.
100 Noble Gases, 300 Metal, 500 Non-Metal

Expand upon basic heat recovery to decrease power consumption more.


the permanent +1 die is going to be more useful long term than anything else. We could also reduce the cost by streamlining the system.

[Doomblade187]

I would like to to remind my team members that Chief has considered negating project cost. Would make +1 dice much nicer.

Like I said, if it's permanent, it's a no-brainer. But I doubt that it is.

He already did.

GM Waffles, is it permanent?

[10ebbor10]

I really doubt it is. That would be way OP.

[Kashyyk]

I PM'd Waffles on discord and he said it is not permanent. 

So I vote for scrapping the room and getting that extra bit of Skeleton.

I second this.

Upon some further consideration I've incorporated some minor buffs to the design results this turn -- the Flashlight array now has 4 charges, not 3; and the Whipple Shielding cost has decreased to 20M + 30NM.

[Powder Miner]

Mmmm, the fact that the Whipple Shielding is dirt fucking cheap is nice. It's only marginally useful for protection, but the spoofing should be useful. We better fucking hope they went in a direction that makes the Flashlight not shit though.

Now, what we need to do next turn is we need to revise both the Stellarator and the Fission Dust Drive to not be so damn fragile, at the very least. We'll also want to spend some dice into things to complete them -- the mining bay for sure, getting that operational should be our top priority, perhaps along with the engine, and those two modules should let us get a lot of resources mined without, for the most part, getting fucked, at least if the fragility is dealt with.

We may also want to consider getting the ASC up and spoofing it, as it's also cheap and though we'll need it soon, we won't immediately need it at full health and it's probably a good module to use for bait.

[Kashyyk]

Currently, the Harvester is a piece of crap. It had potential, but it just is not worth it right now. We pay double the Life Support and Power, plus 300 extra resources to build, in order to get 100 less resources per turn.
