Sure, why not. My main point of pressure with R&R is the occupation of Golf, but a strong push at Delta works too.

Turn 3 Combat Phase: The Network

The recent combat on the ground has highlighted the differences between our forces. Against the zero-payload rocket launchers of the enemy, METAS is a....mediocre protection, really. But it is better than nothing. At short range, the poor handling of our rifles and the sheer number of bullets sprayed from the enemy's machine pistols put our Units in really bad shape. Command believes that, at present, we are winning only due to the unexplored nature of the terrain in which we choose to fight, our numerical advantage, and the vast speed with which our shuttles can move us around the planet. We perform equally to the enemy at long range, better than them at short range, and are at a meaningful disadvantage at close range.

Planet E is almost under full Network control, and we expect to receive resources from it next turn.

Planets Alpha, Beta, and Charlie have all been secured, and resources from them have begun flowing back to the homeworld. As a result, the Network's strategy processing units have increased supplies for the engineering and design units.

----
It is now the Design Phase. You have (SURPRISE) TWO designs, since I want to see what happens in an AR when all your actions are doubled and you are thus free to try and do things you wouldn't normally do. Also it should make this game feel like more is getting accomplished, which I believe to be a good way to make sure that everyone stays at least partially interested even when my schedule and the two teams' paces don't line up and end up delaying updates.

I'm thinking of you, Man of Paper, and your inexplicable love of getting people to design sidearms when we could be designing polearm-swinging suits of power armor.

Ships
ITC (Interplanetary Transport Craft): A less-than-stellar spacecraft, the ITC is a version of the ships landed on your planet when you first colonized it. It is prone to malfunction, slow, and generally unpleasant. The rocket shuttles used to get equipment from the ITC to the ground have a limited capacity, meaning that with the exception of troops and things that can be broken into much smaller parts, the ITC cannot carry any equipment of a size greater than 1TC. It has 4TC capacity in total and uses chemical engines for propulsion. It has no armor or armaments.
Cost: 2 SPP

FASS Mk1. Logos: A reasonably quick, reasonably agile, fairly effective light ship of about 45 meters long with Light armor and three R-4 railguns for weapons complement.
Cost: 2 SPP

Logos Thermal Defense Citadel upgrade: An internal ceramic armor layer on the Logos which is actively cooled to reduce damage from thermal weapons. Raises Logos armor to Medium, cost increases by 1 SPP, agility and speed decreased.
Applied To: FASS Mk.1 Logos
Cost: Increase Logos cost by 1 SPP

Units
Basic Military Unit: (you may rename this if you so wish) A capable group of soldiers trained to operate any equipment you can give them. Field training allows them to keep up to date on the best way to operate the newest deathtraps and self-destructing gizmos you send them even after they’re deployed.
Cost: 2GPP

Ground Weapons
Printed Pistol: Issued to security guards on the colony ships, the only real weapon both colonies have. They are 3D-printed out of plastic, a process which is not entirely reliable, meaning the gun has a tendency to break after prolonged use... or any use, really.
Cost: Cheap

Trephine Magnetic Sabot Rifle: A very effective weapon for Medium- to Long-ranged engagements, the Trephine is a 12mm APFSDS weapon with a 10mm projectile, capable of firing with damage roughly equivalent to a high-caliber rifle or, at maximum power, a light cannon. The projectile tends to fragment on piercing Light armor, doing even more damage than usual to the underlying target. Fireworks displays included with every order of 1000 or more.
Cost: 1 GPP

Ground Equipment
Basic Space Suit: A civilian space suit, totally unarmored and cumbersome to walk in. At least it works well enough, and has a self-sealing lining meaning a single shot isn't an immediate death sentence... most of the time. Necessary for deployment to worlds without breathable atmospheres.
Cost: Cheap OBSOLETE

MultiEnvironment Tactical Armored Suit: A slight improvement to the Basic Space Suit in every way, METAS is a hair less cumbersome, has magnetic boots and some armor so it won't (usually) explode the minute somebody looks at the oxygen tank funny. That usually happens the second minute that somebody remains looking at the tank funny.
Cost: Cheap

Command Radio: Essentially just a very big radio set, capable of reliable communication between planets, ships, and/or other planets. Currently only useful for taunting your enemy. The transmitter dish comes in a single piece and cannot fit in an ITC shuttle.
Cost: 2GPP
Weight: 1TC (requires 2 shuttle TC)

Spacecraft Components
Tokamak-Powered Plasma Drive: A matched set of self-melting components, the TPPD is generally regarded as having been a bad idea.
Cost: A large amount of expensive alloys and electromagnets we're willing to throw away, all of High Command's good will.

Plasma Engine: A Speed 2 interplanetary drive, capable of producing fairly acceptable changes to velocity in combat conditions. Very power hungry at combat-use sizes.

R-4 Railgun Turret: An amazing weapons system, the R-4 is an externally mounted 50mm railgun loaded with 20 round drums capable of firing a three-round burst on a single capacitor charge, while a loading arm loads the drums into the weapon from the storage bay in the ship proper. The turret is lightly armored for protection. Requires a ship to mount it on.

Large Item Flight Transport (LIFT): An upgrade to the ITC's basic shuttles, capable of moving 4 TC objects to and from orbit. Has advantages and disadvantages, minor mechanical issues, but primarily is something of an "all your eggs, one basket" situation when deploying into combat conditions. Raise the cost of an ITC when attached.
Cost: 1 SPP (equips an ITC with a full set of LIFT shuttles)

LIFT Intraplanetary Plasma Engine (IPE): An upgrade to the LIFT shuttles, capable of moving 4 TC objects to and from orbit. Faster and more maneuverable even than basic shuttles, and come with some amount of reinforcement and protection against attack. Raise the cost of an ITC when attached.
Cost: 1 SPP (equips an ITC with a full set of LIFT shuttles)

Infrastructure
Colony Defense Grid: The reason you can't instantly invade the enemy homeworld. A series of surface-to-orbit missile launchers, the only real concession to defense the planners of the colony made. How they work is a mystery now, and no one wants to risk taking them apart to find out.

Semi-Autonomous Industrial Facilities: A network of interlinked incredibly well-connected modern factories capable of production of unparalleled efficiency and scale. Provides 2 GPP.

Orbital Reclamation Centers: Satellites in orbit around the Hub that reprocess damaged and destroyed units and other bits of metal and plastic into spacecraft parts. Provides 2 SPP.

Have a splurge of Designs/Revisions. Hopefully they'll get some people talking.

Our very first foray into Fusion Power, this first attempt contains a torus of superheated Deuterium/Tritium ions as a plasma with electromagnets. This circle of light and power gave this groundbreaking development its name. We are confident that our first steps into this new technology will prove fruitful.

There is no previous attempt on record.

We obviously need a reactor, so we should make one. A Tokamak is pretty straight forward design, and should hopefully gives us enough experience in fusion to try something more elaborate later.

Shaped roughly like an arrow head, the Helion is an aerial craft with a configurable storage bay, allowing it to transport up to two platoons of soldiers, crates of combat supplies or any medium/light ground vehicles we develop in the future thanks to a collapsible troops harnesses and a plethora of hardware anchoring points. Built from a hardened titanium composite, the tough exterior combined with the sloped shape should ensure that the Helion is impervious to small arms fire.

In the nose is a pair of rapid-fire railguns, modeled after the Trephine. Enlarged, they are each capable of firing shells packed with a small amount of explosive at 250rpm, allowing the Helion to provide close aerial support for the combat frames.

Finally, the Helion uses a set of four gimbaled jet engines for movement in terrestrial atmospheres, which can be replaced with an alternate rocket engine package that includes its own oxidizer for airless/non-terrestrial worlds. The engines give the Helion Vertical Take Off and Landing capability as well as the ability to hover, strafe and turn on the spot whilst providing support.

We expect these vehicles to require 2 TC to properly support a 2 TC regiment.

Essentially it's a futuristic attack/transport helicopter. Means we don't have to rely on an ITC's transports for ground movement, and provides some fire support from a hard-to-kill platform to keep the pressure on.

Harking back to an alternate specification of the Trephine before its moniker was gained, the Hammer is a carbine version of the Trephine, firing a canister of specially designed, sharpened flechettes loaded from a small 4 round strip. Whilst range and accuracy are naturally going to be reduced compared to the Trephine, the Hammer will be able to shoot far more quickly and with more tolerance to off-center accuracy due to the spread of flechettes it releases.

It's a railshotgun. Should cover close range pretty well.

[Kashyyk]

Low to the ground and highly maneuverable, the Invictus is able to safely carry a squad of infantry into battle and then deploy them through either of the side hatches or the rear double door. In front is a sloped control pod housing a driver frame and a gunner frame, which aims the rapid-fire railgun turret mounted on top of the front portion of the vehicle. This weapon uses the same ammunition as the Trephine, yet automated loading mechanisms allow the weapon to fire at 250rpm.

For mobility, the Invictus uses four large, all terrain tires, built of solid rubber and hooded in armour plate to reduce the risk of disabling from infantry weapons. On clear, flat ground, it can reach 60mph. Although only the front of the vehicle is medium armour (whilst the rest is light) the exterior is heavily sloped to encourage ricochets and is fully airtight, allowing a modicum of comfort for its passengers even on airless worlds.

It is expected we would require only 1 TC to fully supply a regiment with Invictus support.

Have another design, cos I figured we might as well. I prefer the Helion, but the Invictus is an alternate troop transport/fire support package that will probably be both easier to design and cheaper to deploy.

"Emergent" Assault Aircraft In-Field Assembly Kit

In an effort to provide planetary transport capability without the need for ITCs and their shuttles, and a little more firepower while we're at it, we came up with the "Emergent".

Emergent aircraft are armed with a single turret housing twin-linked Trephines connected to the aircraft's power supply. A stubby wing strut extends from the top of the aircraft's midsection and carries a gimballed IPE-based thruster at each end. The pilot and gunner are installed in-line in the cockpit, while the midsection has space for six individual combat units. The aircraft is light-weight and designed for speed over endurance.

The true beauty of the Emergent comes from the fact that it can be shipped in a crate and assembled by units on the planet. The aircraft comes in fourteen easily identifiable pieces (Nose, Turret, Magazine, Cockpit, Wings x2, Engines x2, Reactor, Roof, Floor Tail Section x2, Sliding Doors x2 (Optional)) with clear directions on how to construct the Emergent in each crate.

A tank and dispenser also come with each Emergent. The dispenser is used to apply the tank's Repair Bitforms to the gaps between each piece, where they work to fuse the individual parts together into a sturdier whole.

Turn 4 Design Phase: The Network

Design: 'Aurora' Tokamak Reactor

This circle of light and power gave this groundbreaking development its name. We are confident that our first steps into this new technology will prove fruitful.

There is no previous attempt on record.

'Aurora' Tokamak Reactor
Difficulty: Hard
Roll: 1 + 1 - 1 = 1 Absolutely Horrendous Failure (which of you idiots offended the dice deities?)

We're not sure what happened. We're just not. We were all set up to achieve something great and make a big step forwards, and then the feeds from the lab just... stopped. D-4VE was messing with the reactor setting trying to "get MORE POWER" or something and then everything went white and every seismic station within a thousand miles registered a minor earthquake.

There are now, officially, three nonexistent entries in our absolutely awful track record of attempting fusion. We're pretty sure that this is not going to happen again, though. Certainly not the same way it happened this time, assuming we attempt another reactor within a few thousand years.

After all, it's going to take a few thousand years for the radiation to fade.

(will not be added to your design spoiler, it accomplished nothing, sorry about that roll)

"Emergent" Assault Aircraft In-Field Assembly Kit
Difficulty: Very Hard
Roll: 4 + 1 - 2 = 3 Buggy Mess

The Emergent aircraft program was a really good idea, on the surface. Bitforms' unique abilities allow for a vehicle to be transported in pieces and assembled without adding serious weak points to the structure of said vehicle. The addition of serious transportation capacity to our combat units would also be a fantastic advantage and having airborne combat capability is a serious advantage when your enemy is using only small arms. Granted, a Trephine could have knocked even the most robustly-built Emergent-style light aircraft out of the sky, but only if it managed a perfect hit. Oh, and the enemy doesn't have Trephines.

However, the development cycle had some...problems. Actually, it had a lot of problems.

Actually, it had so many problems that it's probably easier to list the things that went right, first. First up, the Emergent takes up 2 TC in an ITC, as it's a rather small aircraft and you need a lot of them per BMU. However, the packing scheme and assembly mean that the aircraft can be transported to the surface in anything that can carry cargo, and assembly takes only a day or two to get the entire airfleet up and flying.

Er, crashing, rather, as the Emergent's two miniaturized IPEs are...not exactly well-made. Manufacturing errors tend to lead to erratic changes in thrust and, even when operating correctly, every engine has a noticeably different main thrust, and the computers are just not up to the task of controlling it, because they are also full of software bugs, as well as occasionally ending up with visible holes where there should be circuitry. We're pretty sure the Bitforms are having some...trouble, during assembly, and don't work well with the more sensitive bits near the joins.

Speaking of the joins, they work great, until they don't. On a properly-sealed joint between pieces the Bitforms' work is flawless and it is physically impossible to tell the two sides apart, unless you can detect the remains of the assembly Bitforms near the join. However, when the pieces are not quite held together properly, the Bitforms occasionally have some issues with figuring out what is where and have been known to do all sorts of damage, such as integrating the clamps into the airframe or integrating nearby Units into the airframe, or integrating the airframe in a nearby Unit, in one memorable failure.

However, we DID manage to stick two guns in a turret, and it is powered properly, though admittedly the reactor is somewhat bulkier than we'd like and the engines perhaps don't provide as much thrust as we like. It's just that the rest of the aircraft tends to disassemble itself spontaneously. Oh, and it's also really expensive, because one of the attempted fixes involved a large amount of rare materials the Bitforms couldn't possibly get confused used as markers. We didn't quite manage to remove them because they accidentally got turned into load-bearing segments of the airframe.

Cost: 4 GPP
Size: 2 TC (1 Shuttle TC)

----
It is now the Revision Phase. You have, are you ready? You have two revisions. That's right, two chances to fix...whatever it was that just happened here. Maybe you should try preemptively firing D-4VE? Or at least firing the remains of his motherboard. Out of a cannon.

Cost: A large amount of expensive alloys and electromagnets we're willing to throw away, all of High Command's good will.

Plasma Engine: A Speed 2 interplanetary drive, capable of producing fairly acceptable changes to velocity in combat conditions. Very power hungry at combat-use sizes.

R-4 Railgun Turret: An amazing weapons system, the R-4 is an externally mounted 50mm railgun loaded with 20 round drums capable of firing a three-round burst on a single capacitor charge, while a loading arm loads the drums into the weapon from the storage bay in the ship proper. The turret is lightly armored for protection. Requires a ship to mount it on.

Large Item Flight Transport (LIFT): An upgrade to the ITC's basic shuttles, capable of moving 4 TC objects to and from orbit. Has advantages and disadvantages, minor mechanical issues, but primarily is something of an "all your eggs, one basket" situation when deploying into combat conditions. Raise the cost of an ITC when attached.
Cost: 1 SPP (equips an ITC with a full set of LIFT shuttles)

LIFT Intraplanetary Plasma Engine (IPE): An upgrade to the LIFT shuttles, capable of moving 4 TC objects to and from orbit. Faster and more maneuverable even than basic shuttles, and come with some amount of reinforcement and protection against attack. Raise the cost of an ITC when attached.
Cost: 1 SPP (equips an ITC with a full set of LIFT shuttles)

Infrastructure
Colony Defense Grid: The reason you can't instantly invade the enemy homeworld. A series of surface-to-orbit missile launchers, the only real concession to defense the planners of the colony made. How they work is a mystery now, and no one wants to risk taking them apart to find out.

Semi-Autonomous Industrial Facilities: A network of interlinked incredibly well-connected modern factories capable of production of unparalleled efficiency and scale. Provides 2 GPP.

Orbital Reclamation Centers: Satellites in orbit around the Hub that reprocess damaged and destroyed units and other bits of metal and plastic into spacecraft parts. Provides 2 SPP.

Harking back to an alternate specification of the Trephine before its moniker was gained, the Hammer is a carbine version of the Trephine, firing a canister of specially designed, sharpened flechettes loaded from a small 4 round strip. Whilst range and accuracy are naturally going to be reduced compared to the Trephine, the Hammer will be able to shoot far more quickly and with more tolerance to off-center accuracy due to the spread of flechettes it releases.

I'm bringing this back, cos people liked it. And have another suggestion:

Affix Pin 4 to Panel C using Key δ... We've all had to build at least one of those home-assembly furniture sets. We will take some of the best parts of these to help make the Emergent assembly as straight forward as possible. Such benefits include well labelled parts and seams with slots and pins to affix things in place before applying the bit forms. Any parts that are particularly sensitive to bitform mangling are also modified to be attached in whole pieces, or manually.
