Except tripping over their own gills? Nm.
2316-17
2316.12.23 -- More progress on Space Torpedoes and Plasma Throwers.
2317.03.02 -- Orbital Sensor Arrays research completed. These will be built immediately on all highly-developed worlds. There is a maintenance cost in energy, but it's minimal(1 each) and will allow further advancement by largely offsetting the cost of bringing new technologies to all corners of our empire.
Research Director's Briefing: Dr. JIMGA Jr.
** Arc Emitter(Particles, 62 mo.) -- Lightning-based weapon that comes only in Large. Their primary advantadge is being good against both armor and shields(50% for each), and therefore highly versatile/adaptable to any enemy.
** Plasma Cannons(Particles, 110 mo.) -- These come in any size, and are 75% armor penetrating. Many of our more powerful weapons are available only for biggest hardpoints; these can be used on any ship.
** Gamma Lasers(Particles, 110 mo.) -- Next-gen laser weaponry. A little more damaging than the plasma cannons, but not nearly as good against armor(33% penetration).
** Particle Lance(Particles, 62 mo.) -- A power sink just like torpedoes are, these come only in Large size also. They have 75% armor penetration and each can deal as much damage as any system currently in our arsenal.
** Interlinked Support Systems(Computing, 3/32 mo.) -- Comes only in Small, an upgrade for our point defense.
Dr. JIMGA Jr., this is not a subtle selection here. Pick the weapons system to be developed next.
A quick little project as anticipated for this brief update. I forgot to do the fleet refit/upgrade again. I really need to remember to do that.
