So, I figured that something like this would eventually happen. Accordingly, I've been hosting all my mods with ithillid (thanks @Ithillid!) since the start.
And working it out from there. Starting with @CrabMonarchy ! They have two mods, here and here. The first roll was a 17, plus 5 because of the tech bonus for 22 and netted Advanced Rocket Fuel. The second roll was 91 plus 5 for 96. The roller said it was for Scrintech, but according to the rules that can't be, so it's a 96 on the Nod gatcha. Either way we don't know what the tech is.
What you are getting confused by is that I am counting somebody's first time mod separate from everything else.
ithillid's already answered the core of your question, I think.
It is the date when the tech was rolled for.
Adding in the Scrin Armour Alloys and a few other things, is there any remaining techs that might actually boost our future combat vehicles raw defensive capability?
Ah, didn't know that caveat. Okay, that all makes sense then.
Oh I know, you've explained your system before, and I do appreciate it. And you also got us that wetware AI tech, which I think is insanely cool.
Thank you. Shadows also rolled a 42, so got the 47 Scrintech. What was that one?
That was the EM Capacitors. Boosts railguns, at the very least.
EM? Electro Magnetic? If so, cool. I was worried about our Railguns getting completely overshadowed by our Lasers. This should help keep them relevant.
Oh an idea we could theoretically make (Halo style) MAC guns for our military space ships.
We are unlikely to get Bentusaari medical technology. The major possibility for that to be obtained would likely be during the TCN negotiations, and we'll almost certainly have more important things to ask for.
That seems unlikely - C&C has mechs work as a setting conceit, but they are much more likely to go in Battletech directions, and generally for niche operations/special circumstances. (Orbital Drop, urban operations, similarly niche things.) Armored Core is, from what I have heard, not in the realm of possibility.
We're likely to have ion cannons for main guns (spinal), railguns as secondary/broadside, lasers for point defense. MAC-type guns are unlikely just because "huge projectile goes fast" takes too much energy, unless we can get enough eezo to break physics.
Well, I hesitate to call the ability to just straight-up resurrect people "unimportant," but "feasible to implement at scale" is likely to be a problem there.
Do the Scrin have that technology?
