Shepard Quest Mk V, Base of Operations (ME/MCU)

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, as long as we limit what gets produced, no problem.

On that note, we should probably put out some consumer stuff too. Not exactly our specialty, but that is a huge market and surely we could come up with some new stuff. Also advances our agenda of making PI a household name.

What about our game, is it making anything? did we even start to sell it...

I think our stuff is too expensive for consumer market for now.

Magi looks very marketable, we might get a very good contract from SA military.

Then not!GBF has potential, as long we can make it affordable at least for arcades. But it makes very low profit compared to military contacts.

The problem with the Arc Reactor, that it costs 50.000 just to make it, so it is still too expensive for consumer market.
 
Yeah, the Arc Reactor definitely is too expensive - that's why I meant we need to make something else for civilian markets. Our improved coding translating to games was one, the proposed entertainment (sorta like the armax arsenal arena) was another.

Those are nice touch, it might wort a personal action.

Maybe we can release a powerful VI IDE.
 
You know by the time ME1 starts I want to have veritech's I mean we will have Lasers, Missile Spams, Folding tech (the guns in Mass Effect use it), Compact FTL and with a carrier full of them it'd really mess things up.

I am thinking a Launch --> Select Target ---> FTL Jump ----> Arrive & Release Missiles ----> Jump back into FTL. That way we don't have to waste a lot of resources for FTL Missiles.

Hmm, since there is VR goggles like Oculus rift these days, it shouldn't be that difficult to make advanced headset with neural interface. That would lead to some quite realistic gaming.

Eh, it depends. I mean, I'm pretty sure that at least some aircars cost more than hardsuits.

Which is where my idea of marketing Mk2s as car analogues comes from. Strip out all weaponry and related military , make it look as slimand proper as possible (so it could be worn in both a formal and informal settings). Add a personal assistant system.

Market it as a combination of a car / shuttle / spaceship (for models with FTL), personal protecrion suit, power generator (to power customer's house for zero cost), omnitool and personal assistant.

I think it'll have a big success on a civilian market.
 
... Actually, an Arc Reactor might be a plausible investment for new residential constructions. I mean, sure, it's expensive at 50k credits, but it does cover every energy bill you'll ever have to deal with. Except possibly maintenance.

ISARs are more economical, but even a 5 GW one is more tan enough for a small settlement, if there is not sufficient power infrastructure in the vicinity.

1000km is ridiculously huge.

Even the Citadel is only 40km long.

What he said. Normal dreadnoughts are 800m to 1km. Even the Reapers don't get much bigger than 2km long, and they're massive. The Destiny Ascension, the largest dreadnought in the galaxy (c. 13 years in the future) is 4x the largest human ships and a tour group that toured for 6 hours only saw 10% of the thing. Getting much larger than that is simply impractical (and likely ruinously expensive), even if we make it possible.
Actually, I wonder how badass the Destiny Ascension will be with all the kinds of tech we'll be giving them. Obviously they won't have their hands on Paragon Industries State of the Art, but at the rate we're going even 5 years out of date will be far superior to canon.

You have a point. When building a apartment building, they also purchase a single arc reactor. They then rent the apartments with no electricity/gas bills, and also make money on feeding energy back into the grid.

Our arc reactors are just pure profit for everyone! (Well... except for pre-existing infrastructure.)

The Geth are in the middle of building a Dyson Sphere.Are we going to let them beat us?

Never!
 
Meh, we can take them.... all we need is to research time, make SGC type time dilation field find a resource rich system, make a dozen of the biggest Arc reactor ever (like Dreadnought size) to power it, programme a AI to build our dyson sphere and then sit back a few years.

A sufficiently high-powered laser would cut through your hull at light speed, meaning that you might not even know if he was to your left or your right, just that he's on that line.

Also, Science vessels are a thing that should happen. You can move Revy's private lab onto a light cruiser (which is really what the Normandy SR-2 was), a Lab I onto a heavy cruiser, a Lab II onto a Dreadnaught and a Lab III onto a superdreadnaught. They still have to be built in succession.

I want a Science-Superdreanaught as a HQ, but an 1000 km long vanity piece.

I brought up the Dämmerung because it is similar in function.
 
Btw guys. One silly idea came to my mind, so I decided to make non-canon omake out of it. Could someone beta it? My English isn't the best so there probably is lot of mistakes and I would like an opinion how good it is before posting.
 
A thought: we should research QE comms or an analogue SOON. It is needed for safe communications with off-planet assets, for perfect space stealth that I came up with (for drone sensors), probably as a start towards both quantum locked armor and teleportation. It also pays off greatly globally by making eezo more available (once technology gets going, comm buoys would get reused for eezo), exploration easier, and the total informational flow of the galactic civilization higher.
