Research Director's Briefing: Dr. Frank Justyce

The recently blueprinted power plants will be built immediately to address what has already become a minor energy shortage. Hopefully it will soon be turned into a surplus. In the meantime, here's what's next.

** Hyperlane Breach Points(Particles, 82 mo.) -- Improves our hyperdrives by reducing the amount of time required to 'spool up' for a jump.
** Database Uplinks(Computing, 82 mo.) -- Allows our science ships to be deployed at a planet, increasing the research output there. This would seem to be more important once we've explored all we can, and we don't appear to be close to that yet.
** Disruptors(Particles, 82 mo.) -- An energy-based weapon that does double damage to shields, which would be great if we had yet encountered a foe that deploys them.

** Cloud Lightning Conduits(Particles, 110 mo., 16% completed) -- Unlocks the Cloud Lightning weapons system.
** Active Countermeasures(Computing, 33 mo., 6.2% completed) -- Sentinel Point-Defense weapons system.
** Fusion Power(Particles, 22 mo., 13% completed) -- +250 energy storage and unlocks Fusion Reactors, upgrade from our current Fission technology.
** Green Crystal Capacitors(Particles, 55 mo., 18% completed) -- Allows us to use the Green Shard Thrower weapons system.

Dr. Frank Justyce, you are now on the clock.
