Technology has had three additional new advances. And two critical successes by DFnewb and Exkirby.
DFnewb: (Critical Success)
-SMM
adwarf: (Success)
-Anti Ship Defense Net: A collection of platforms surrounding the planet, each sporting a single LASER. Laser platforms will fire upon colonizers that attempt to land. Does not take part in combat, and is immediately destroyed if only enemy forces are present. Costs 1000.
--Level 1: 5 platforms.
Toaster: (Success)
-Armor Plating: Adds significant HP to the ship mounting it. However does take up hull space and does not prevent usage of engines unlike Heavy Assault Armor. Slightly more effective, slightly more expensive. Costs 800.
--Level 1: 4 HP.
Terenos: (Success)
-Jump line de-stabilizer: Ship module that can remove jump lines. Uses an unstable and incredibly dangerous method to do so however and as such attempts can result in the destruction of the ship mounting the device. Consumes 3 hull slots. Costs 9000.
--Level 1: 1/6th chance of success, 5/6th chance of ship destruction.
Taricus: (Success)
-Improved Industry
Exkirby: (Critical Success)
-BLACK HOLES
Firstly...
- Hails to the unidentified ship asking permission to colonize go unanswered. All over Toaster's empire additional parts are constructed. More ships are sent to PX-7.
- Exkirby however sends HIS ships into PX-7 which starts the following conflict. He also builds a couple 'Rooks'.

But besides the thorough ass-kicking...
- More SMMs appear on the other two worlds.
- Continued terra-forming and additional parts.
- A new Rapier is produced on Renos, with the old one moving to it. Rucession also gets a fresh starbase.
- Taricus moves his colonizer to PX-6, and either forgot to colonize or has other plans...

Planet additions:
-Starbase: Can be constructed above any planet you control. A starbase is immobile but heavily armed, is required(at first) to produce ships, and may repair damaged ships. Repairs itself after combat. Costs 6000.
--Level 1: Has 10 HP and 5 LASERs. Starting tech.
--Level 2: Has 14 HP and 7 LASERs.
-Planetary Batteries: This is a ground installation. Adds an additional attack in orbital combat but does not provide a destructible target. Will be captured if a colonizer lands. Costs 3000.
--Level 1: Deals 1 damage.
-BLACK HOLES: This is a station add-on. Allows ship movement from any planet with a black hole module to any other planet in the system. It is a somewhat unstable method of travel so there is a chance of ships not making it through. Travel is always successful between two planets with black hole station add-ons. This totally has nothing to do with Wormholes. Costs 3000.
--Level 1: 1/6th chance of successful transportation.
--Level 2: 1/3rd chance of successful transportation.
--Level 3: half chance of successful transportation.

--Level 5: Additional 2500 per turn per planet.
--Level 6: Additional 3000 per turn per planet.
-Intergalactic Bank: This is a ground installation. Takes an amount of resources each turn(which may be set by the owner) from the planet's production and puts it into an intergalactic bank account. According to the Galactic Department of Resources(GDR), these funds may not be withdrawn, however intrest will be collected each turn by the owner at a rate dependant on the tech level. Lost if the planet is captured. Costs 1000.
--Level 1: 1% interest collected per turn.
--Level 2: 2% interest collected per turn.
--Level 3: 3% interest collected per turn.

--Level 1: Costs 6000. Starting tech.
-Suicidal Maneuvers: Crew training/ship programming that causes the ship to be targeted first where possible by enemy ships. Does not consume nor provide hull space, no benifit from multiple uses. This is a non-developable tech. Costs 600.
-Boarding Pods: Allows capture of enemy vessels. To capture a vessel, that ship's HP must be reduced under a specific percentage determined by tech level, the module will then activate immediately. Captured vessels are removed from combat for the rest of the turn. Costs 9000.
--Level 1: HP must be lowered to 5%.
-Jump line de-stabilizer: Ship module that can remove jump lines. Uses an unstable and incredibly dangerous method to do so however and as such attempts can result in the destruction of the ship mounting the device. Consumes 3 hull slots. Costs 9000.
--Level 1: 1/6th chance of success, 5/6th chance of ship destruction.

--Level 1: Fires 2 times.
-Missile Pods: Weapon that fires multiple missiles at a target, does not switch targets like Rapid Fire LASERs but increases damage through research. Costs 1200.
--Level 1: Fires 2 times, 1 damage.
Defense Parts:
-Engines: Provides defense against attacks by giving a chance for evasion. Each engine can only effect one attack per round, adding additional engines allow evasion of more attacks on a successful evasion roll. Costs 600.

--Level 1: 3 HP.
--Level 2: 6 HP.
-Degradation Suicide Bombs: Framework modification that contains nano-bots, these nanobots will be released when the ship is destroyed and have a chance to infect the ship responsible. Unfortunately due to the means of implementation these have a small chance of infecting the ship carrying them whenever it is damaged. Infection can be removed via repairs. Costs 600.
--Level 1: 1/3rd chance of infecting enemy ship, 1/3rd chance of self infection, deals 1 damage per round.
--Level 2: half chance of infecting enemy ship, 1/3rd chance of self infection, deals 1 damage per round.

--Level 1: 4 HP.
Misc:
-Research: Allows research, higher levels increase chance of success. There is also a chance of critical success, which causes an extra level of research in a turn. One research is allowed per turn. CANNOT BE RESEARCHED PAST LEVEL 6!
--Level 1: 1/6th chance of success, 1/6th chance of critical success. Starting tech.
--Level 2: 1/3rd chance of success, 1/6th chance of critical success.

--Level 6: 100% chance of success, 1/3rd chance of critical success.
-Refitting: Allows a ship to be stripped of certain parts and replaced with others, parts removed are kept at the starbase for later usage. This is a non-developable tech.
-Planetary Poisoning: A ship module or planetary installation that when activated floods the planet with nanobots, this renders the planet uninhabited and uninhabitable for a number of turns(may be set by the user up to the tech's maximum upon activation). Ground based installations are consumed upon activation. Costs 3000 for ground installation, 4500 for ship module.
