Research first.
Research Director's Briefing: Dr. Frank Justyce
The Physics Dept. awaits further instructions. Since Dr. Justyce has been unreachable the past two times, this is sort of the 'third strike'. If we don't hear from him by the deadline, he'll be removed as an active member of the Collective and I'll take over the decision-making for him until he either dies or makes an appearance again. This is for the purposes of keeping things moving.
** Synchronized Defenses(Computing, 20 mo.) -- All weapons fire by stations will see a 25% increase in firing rate and damage. This major tactical upgrade is a Rare technology that will be unlikely to appear again if not selected. It does not affect ships as it is station-only, but I think spaceports are included. Despite several opportunities, we have not invented any other station types.
** Space-Time Theory(Computing, 96 mo.) -- Unlocks not just one but two additional upgrades to Phyics Labs(III & IV).
** Hyperlane Breach Points(Particles, 37 mo.) -- Unlocks an upgrade to our hyperdrives, reducing the charge-up time by a quarter.
** Blue Crystal Capacitors(Particles, 8/15 mo.)
** Disruptors(Particles, 6/37 mo.)
** Ion Disruptors(Particles, 44/74 mo.)
Dr. Frank Justyce, you are on the clock.
Research Director's Briefing: Dr. David Corperial
** Xeno Diplomacy(Statecraft, 27 mo.) -- The Federation option is back again.
** Communication Protocols(Statecraft, 60 mo.) -- Improved FTL communications allow for increasing our Sector Limit by 1. We are presently using 4/5, and have been close to the cap for a while now.
** Doctrine: Space Combat(Military Theory, 7 mo.) -- Increases naval capacity by 10%. Presently we are at 72/139.
** Amoeba Breeding Program(Biology, 15/54 mo.)
Dr. David Corperial, you are on the clock again.
Sometime in the next day or so, another colonization directive will be posted.
