Modified my turn above

[Haika]

Ok.. well, how would I trade? Also it's just a scout, not sure they'd have resources on them. I suppose I could offer some technology, but they look a bit more advanced, or at least been at this longer than I have.

And also not to nitpick, but shouldn't I get 360 resources this round, not 320? Or am I missing something? 100 + 80% = 180, x2 = 360.

[KineseN]

Improved Mining level 3: 60% extra from mining. 100 + 60% = 160r. 2 x 160 = 320r.

As for trades with tech and recourses it is as if any unit has a direct connection to the planet and therefore access to everything. If you accept you will get a selection of what you can trade.

[Haika]

Ahh right, sorry, for some reason I kept reading the level 4 % as the level 3.

Ok we will accept on the trading. Mutual benefit and all that.

[KineseN]

Giving SHADOWdump some two hours, then I'll start on the turn.

Stealth Plating: Hides the ship from prying eyes. Costs 1200r
Level 1: 1hp, stealth within one hex

Railgun, Ship Version: Deploy a Railgun(item) to propel ships or asteroids within a hex. Objects in the path may be damaged/destroyed. Does not take any ship slots and several in a line can make travel very fast. Costs 5000r
Level 1: Object will travel for 5 hexes in a relative straight line. Debris propelled this way do 5hp:1dmg.

Improved Mining: Allows a ship to generate more resources when mining asteroids. Passive

Level 1: Pulls/repels an object one hex per Tractor Beam installed. 'Pull' and 'Repel' negate/add 250 speed to object.

Armored Hull: Much more durable than the standard hull at the cost of speed. Costs 1800r
Level 1: 3hp, 950 speed
Level 2: 6hp, 900 speed

Basic Extraction Module: Allows a spacecraft to extract spacedust. Costs 1000r
Level 1: One extraction action. Starting tech.
Level 2: Two extraction actions.

Cheaper Hulls: By utilizing other types of material when manufacturing a hull, costs can be greatly reduced without compromizing integrity of the hull. Passive
Level 1: 10% cheaper prize on all hulls.

(Amused): Haha, we have one with a head I see. Unfortunately I can't accept that. It is worth so much more really but I belive I could part with it for your improved engines and 4500r? Would you agree to it? Y/N/H

The tech is possible but you are having bad luck with the rolls.

[Haika]

"Hmmm... I suppose that is reasonable. It is rude not to at least haggle a little bit. Perhaps we could then arrange to set up our first mutual caravan between our two homeworlds and share the costs and profits?"

[KineseN]

: Why of course, we arcturuians would love that. As the saying goes: 'Sharing profits is like sharing bread, it taste better.' An Arcturuian saying of course.

We have a saying for haggling too: 'Haggling is like an aged wine, the longer it ages the better it smells.' Of course, it doesn't really work like that in the real world but that's beside the point.

: This is how we will do it. We have one free route from each of our planets and we can accept a trade between each and everyone of them so long you build a Market. When done just talk to us again about which market will be connected to which planet.

Spoiler: Main Map, updated to current turn (click to show/hide)

I am certain that there are a lot of errors this time as I did the turn with a splitting headache.

@Haika: If you start building a Market now and make a connection to their planets you can get the gains for this turn instead of next. Just understand that if you want to break a route for a better one you are fined with 500r (if it's a NPC). Also, you are gonna gain something between 170r - 380r per turn from a single route, will be less but double if it is between your two current planets.
