I edited the tech lists in the OP. Feel free to make any remark or point out any error I made.

There's about 25 of the fuckers and the three sarge killed were at point blank range - it's got to be zombies or a bunch of really dumb terrorists with knives.

As much as we're trying to keep that from entering the Public Domain, I'm happy to pass on Manual Turrets so long as you don't re-sell it.  Once it hits 5 players, everyone gets it, including the NPC countries.  That's going to make invasions really difficult for everyone.

Editing turn to reflect.

Oi. The Force is better described as telekinesis.

And it is really the driving life force of everything in Star Wars. You can't "Research" the force.

I think we can let Sheb be the judge of that.  At the very worst, it'll be on the level of Time Travel; be prepared to spend a whole lot of time researching it, but it'd be a game changer if you ever got it to work.  There's technological means to replicate the apparent effects of the Force, though.

So yeah, I'm going with the safer "not-most-likely-to-spend-the-game-trying-to-get-it-way". By telekinesis.

Hey, the Moon Cannon was viable (with dangerously impressive results to follow!).

How long has it gone unfinished? It still says "BFLG part" on the moon and theres a part on Earth still.

At least, I assume its not operational.

Edit: And honestly, I don't care if turrets go public domain, just as long as its after I take the Balkan, and hopefully an investment in ICELAND!

The force will probably be theoretical anyway. Fully functioning Jedi are probably a half-a-dozen researches away...

Yup. It'll take ages if you want it to be really powerful. What Johnfalcon aparrently hasn't understood yet is that there are no tech that are both easy to develop an dreally powerful. Some effectiveness/cost ration are higher than other (Eg, it would have been cheaper to design an orbital laser station than a moon gun) but if you want something powerful, you'll have to pay for it. The BFLG is incredibly powerful, but it has been in project almost since turn 1 and cost 10,000$ to build and launch, not counting the R&D and ammunitions.

So yeah, you could eventually find out stuff about the force. Refine it. Make Jedi. But if they are really powerful, they will take dozens of turns and ten of thousands of dollar to devellop.

So I guess this means going after Jedi or some other super-power star-wars referenced thing will just be large waste of money when you could've used that money more effectively by creating an army 5 times as powerful as the single unit? I'm cool with that, at least if my plans for my Railguns won't have to be massively extended. A Railgun is powerful, but it has some pretty big disavantages in terms of money and maintance. It cost money just to fire the damned thing.

Also, what about just telekinesis? Just lifting things with your mind (No special powers)? How long will that take?
