2307(cont'd)
2307.08.15 -- New power plant operational on Gabbog. It also appears that the new spaceport modules work retroactively, as the energy surplus was boosted by nearly 30 per month when a few of them were completed. Quite the nice surprise there. One of the farms on Gabbog will now be replaced by a science lab, as the building there continues almost non-stop with the massive planet almost two-thirds occupied now.
09.02 -- Proton Torpedoes research completed. Another fleet upgrade is in order, but not until the spaceports are done with their current operations.
Research Director's Briefing: Dr. JIMGA Jr.
** Plasma Throwers(Particles, 24 mo.) -- A quite outdated weapons system at this point, Plasma Throwers do have good armor penetration but would only be useful if they led to something else.
** Arc Emitters(Particles, 62 mo.) -- An interesting new option. Arc Emitters are very power-hungry and do a lot of damage, nearly as much as the recently discovered proton torpedoes. They also penetrate armor fairly well(50%) and ignore half of shields. They work by literally creating lightning storms, and and as such the resulting damage can be very destructive ... or virtually non-existent. Overall though, they may be the best weapons system we know of.
** Synchronized Defenses(Computing, 13 mo.) -- This is at least the second time we've come upon this RARE tech option. This module for spaceports or stations increases their weapon damage and firing rate by 25%.
** Shield Harmonics(Field Manipulation, 53 mo.) -- Improvements to our practical engineering of shield systems allow for a 5% increase in effective strength immediately.
Dr. JIMGA Jr., you are now the elder statesman of sorts, and are on the clock again.
