Genetic engineering and reality don't mix Armok, or at the very least the lines get blurred.

[Flying Dice]

I'll vote for the Übermensch, not because I think it'll work (putting too much untested stuff in all at once will cause massive instabilities) but because it makes a good research case. I think we'll wind up with a horribly mishapen blob incapable of keeping it's heart beating for more then a couple seconds. But thats the first try. Practice makes perfect and we need to practice. Pluswe should learn at least one skill from the attempt. and we can always feed the genetic failure back into the cloner to recycle it into something useful.

I'd support this as well. This would make a good test case for future models. We need experimentation that might bring useful results, not experimentation for the sake of producing strange clones that might be useful for one thing. We can save the really crazy stuff for when we have the material and cloning pods to spare.

Armok: Those weren't intended as 'plug and play' suggestions, but as general areas that we should try to research in. I could have spent a few hours documenting the exact changes I would shoot for in proper terminology, but frankly, I've got better things to do. It isn't as if we're modelling the exact processes our character takes to produce these results, and the whole research and experimentation process is a bit too abstracted for us to get into arguments over what is or isn't 'realistic', especially given that

It is the distant future and you are aboard a Colony ship headed for Deep Space: The current frontier. Like all passengers on the ship you will be left on a habitable planet. From there you will build a colony using the wonderful technologies of the future and become rich beyond your wildest dreams!

is the setting. With that we could very easily justify handwaving all sorts of absurdly simply modular biological construction, but I think most of us are making the effort to walk the line between realism and fun.

This.

The übermensch thing seems a bit overkill, I don't think we wanna risk ending up like doctor Mengele, stuff gets reeeallly psycho once you go that way. I suspect Armok is trying to get the maximum profit and being as efficient as possible, but there's no need to experiment with things we don't need. So what is our goal? Becoming an interstellar tradebaron, becoming incredibly rich? Exploring the planet? Seeing how far the technology tree goes, developing our base? Building a great and prosperous colony? Profit? Fun? I dunno. I'm all for creating the Halo Spartans/Warhammer Space Marines and perhaps specialized stealth/scout clones. But I am saying that making superclones is okay as long as we don't screw around with moral standards and our reader's comfort.

Something else: even though we're many years into the future our biggest threat is still WILD ANIMALS. Whoa. We're 1000-something years in the future but we're being butchered like club-wielding loincloth monkeys. How about electrified barbwire, or better still, energy field wall-projectors. We don't have to kill them if they can't reach us in the first place. The enemy can't win if they can't score in the first place.

Another idea would be to get decent barracks where many clones can sleep, eat, rest, train and store all sorts of weapons and items. A nice, big, sturdy hall with enough room for just about twice our population so far and optionally with sealable doors. I propose connecting the two houses and knocking out the walls, creating a big single building. We could recycle the walls that'd have to be removed.

Finally and last priority: a Garage where we can make Vehicles of all sorts. Light buggies to begin with, eventually heavy load trucks and combat mechas.

[Armok]

I'm trying to get as much variation as possible as fast as possible, to see what kind of thing works and what doesn't, while still getting something somewhat useful out of it. Science.

Also, the "übermensch" is basically just really athletic. And has 6 arms, and that's it. The rest is just disadvantages to it to maximize those things and details on how exactly to accomplish it.

[Flying Dice]

Instead of extra arms, we might want to try two arms and then a pair or two of combat tentacles, as long as we all understand that we won't be going there. That'd probably be less awkward if we want 6 grasping limbs.

[forsaken1111]

Just push all the buttons on the cloning module and see what comes out.

[raptorfangamer]

Just push all the buttons on the cloning module and see what comes out.

THIS.

[Armok]

combat tnetacles are good except a) we were asked not to make abdominations, and b) we don' have the code for real tentacles, so we'd have to use whatever muscular hydrostat we do have, wich means they'd be ginat tungues, wich is disgusting.

[Ochita]

I'm not deciding anything. I just seem to be the only person here who knows basic biology and respect the GM enough to assume he'll at least try to make things realistic.

Yes. As you are the only person in these forums who has an inkling of biology knowledge.
Don't overplay yourself. Its annoying.

Maybe, concerning the blood of our clones, we could make it have a higher platelet count? Assuming that we can keep it at still healthy, but at higher levels, that would help with most cutting wounds, and the like. Perhaps also increasing the amount of Hemoglobin? Just a suggestion.

[Orb]

I was just curious. Have you pre-planned invasions and attacks Lincoln? For instance, on turn 100, 'Omni Corp' attacks with 6 combat clones armed with normal lasers from the west?

Or are you just winging it, basing attack strength on how strong we are?

[Evil Lincoln]

Turn 52

Colony:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This picture is large and may require a small amount scrolling to view unless you have a large monitor.

You purchase the concrete blueprints for 70 yollars.

Colonytech agrees to your new offer of 20 per clone and 370 as an opening payment and you send them the DNA. You soon after receive your 370 yollars. (+25xp for completed deal)

You use the payment to purchase a mineral scanner from Omnicorp for 250 yollars.

What's this? Ardin is evolving going up a level.

Pick one perk to continue:

Big League Bargainer:	5% discount with all large corporations.
Laser optimisation:	You can optimise lasers you own to only use 0.5 charge per shot.
Quick Cloning:	All clones are produced 10% quicker.
Experimentation:	Experimental clones are less likely to fail.
DIY:	you receive a 10% discount on module components (excludes blueprints).
6th Sense:	You will have visions of key events before they occur.

Looks like your delivery has arrived. The forman in charge of the shuttle (who appears to not be a clone) walks up to you and asks where you want the cryopod, then he flicks you 20 yollars.
You ask what he gave you money for.
He tells you to "Buy some godamn pants."

All of the clones wake up and you tell them to go help the other clones. One of the basic clones doesn't have anything to help with so you tell him to put the cabbages into the barrel.

You think about making a number of clones but the one that stands out to you is a 'Minnion' clone.

>* MINNIONS: this one is probably best described as a list of features and their consequences:
* Dwarfism: smaller size, meaning needing less nutrients and such, and quicker growing to it's full size
* Force grown: grown as fast as possible, at the cost of durability, intelligence, and increasing the risk of defects. going to grow fast enough as it is.
* Cut corners: reducing the cost of growing and the amount of food needed by reducing organs and muscle mass, and any parts of the brain not stimulated by an education.
* Slow metabolism/cold blooded: reduce food needed, at the cost of reaction speed and the ability to withstand cold. They will already not need much food because they are small and they won't be able to sleep in the rain if they can't withstand the cold.
* Natural blood opioids: increased ability to withstand pain, fear, discomfort, and general mistreatment. Stuff like sleeping in the rain, eating the same crappy food all the time, or being treated as expendable cannon fodder. Reduces intelligence and ability to detect and avoid harm.
* Twinned: grow like Siamese twins joined slightly at the head, two in a single tank counting as one clone. The input stream from education is duplicated so bot the clones receive the same one. immediately before decanting they'll split and from then on act just like separate clones.
Summary: Extremely cheap, small, crappy clones that can be produced two at a time.

Although to avoid to many defects you cut down on some of the redundant features. You estimate it will take you 5 turns to work out how to make the first prototype. In the mean time you start growing another worker clone.

You currently have 105 yollars

Author Notes: Spoiler (click to show/hide) Module components are things like Cloning tubes that come seperately, so you can have a cloning warehouse that is purpose built instead of just a warehouse with some modules in it. You can't buy them from anyone you know yet but you'll find where to soon enough. Please try not to argue everyone. While this is a crazy world where science can do all sorts of magical things Armok does have a point with there being a max on how efficient things can be. You can make muscles and other organs more efficient to a degree but there is going to be a point where they can't get any better. No to sex slaves. Come to think of it i don't even know if Ardin or the clones even have genders although I think I have refered to them as He's once or twice. If everyone wants them to have genders that's ok, it would actualy make writing it a bit easier since I keep running into spots where I have to use a gender specific word and I either rewrite the sentence so I can use 'they' or I forget and write 'he'. I don't know why I identify them as he's, guess they just look like males to me? And I threw out the '0.5' turns for each change system and i'll just make them up as I go. I'll be doing incom from the clone arrangment in a daily payment. So if anyone wants that payment to come at a specific time you should say so now. If no one has any preferences it'll be when the colonyship arrives each day. I was just curious. Have you pre-planned invasions and attacks Lincoln? For instance, on turn 100, 'Omni Corp' attacks with 6 combat clones armed with normal lasers from the west? Or are you just winging it, basing attack strength on how strong we are? I'm just winging it for now. I've got some ideas for big events happening in the future though. I'm going to need some way to give you the lowdown on everything since I never did that. Things like "What is colonytech's deal?" come to mind. Maybe you'll go to the local bar and ask the barman what the latest rumor is, or maybe i'll just answer questions as people ask them. EDIT: I just remembered to put in medical modules, i just keep forgetting. DOUBLE EDIT: You'll need some tools if you want to cut up the accomodation modules and stick them together. You could probabley use your laser rifles to cut them but without welding tools you woulnd't be able to stick them back together very well.

Buy pants

Screw that. Mad Eccentric Scientists don't need pants! In fact they interfere with our mad ambitions amazing experiments!

[RulerOfNothing]

I suggest we get DIY or 6th sense as our first perk. Have someone use the mineral scanner around our camp to look for stuff. Also, is it possible for us to refine chemicals?

[Ochita]

6th sense sounds good.
