Shepard Quest Mk VI, Technological Revolution
- Thread starter Hoyr
- Start date
1) Krogan scientists aren't "most of Tuchanka"
2) That'sgnome why we serve as intermediaries.
It's nowhere near finished.
However, most of Tuchanka is likely to include most krogan scientists. And the krogan potentates who ensure that krogan scientists have the resources they need to do research in safety and quiet.

Some of my thoughts. Still lacking all of the finacial stuff...

We are staying so close to the games Paragon that I feel pushed to this answer. Not that it is bad but without much choice.
[X] Blue on White
The Mordin Solus plan:
This is more complex. Going Yogs way of gaining inside with the University through Mordin would open us further to the STG. He would have no problem pointing us to the STG members deloyed there (as professors) to look out for quality rekruits.
[X] Hire him
-[X] With Mordins recommendations and exeptional credentials it would be best to define and equipe a lab (or part) as specific biological and genetical research complex and apoint him team leader.
My goal with this is to give him on one side everything he had ever dreamed of with all the recognition for his work oposed to the strikt concealment STG forces upon him for his work there. That would (hopefully) keep him ocupied and making it a bit harder to plant spy programms in all the systems STG want (He is a spy. Nothing but bveeing chained inside a cell could keep him out of PIs systems once he can freely wander through the complex). Seeing the goal PI stands for as well as his working conditions may even increase his loyality to us.
-[X] Mordin is a salarian of great ability. Gaven Dor is done with the enmity against the salarians because of the genophage. Question him on his stand to it and maybe discuss other illnesses and surprises among the citadel races (examples: Vorcha regeneration, Adak-Yakshi, Rannoch evolution, genetic illnesses known to different spacefaring spacies) with him.
ME2 had shown how he stand towards the genophage. Talking with him on (nearly) his level about his specialisation has a good chance to evoke respect/loyality towards Revi in him as well as steering his thoughts towards his work (and away from his STG projects).
I don't remember if we have talked with Mordin already about his pay (we [the readers] have already guessed that he will get paid as much as Gaven). If not I picture him inspecting his workplace with Revi when she ask: "Will 150k per month be aceptable." - "No. *aktivate Omnitool* Cost of team, equipment, salary, samples. Twice. Better thrice." - "I mean you salary. This is the budget for the labratory. *send data to him*" - "Oh."
Litinana deal: (Because negotiations are complicated fell free to discuss things with the GM)
Thay don't want biotech. But their bioweapons are thought after.
Offer
[X] Advanced Research VI
[X] Tactical VI
For
[X] A Specialist (Temporary Research Hero)
A Research Hero brings individual research projects. Those can not be understimated and are priceless.
[X] An amount of a finished product (Biotech, Limited Scale Bioweapons...)
They are feared for their bioweapons. Reserve engineering may be to hard (and unwanted) but learning how they affect/kill means learning how to defend against it and similar vectors of attack (which is wanted).
Tell the SA Navy of any of your Tech Plans?
[X] Sure (what?)
-[X] System to increase time traveled in FTL without discharge.
-[X] Enhanced communication systems.
[X] Ask them what they want in terms of qualitative developments. What advantages would they desire most? What is the biggest game changer?
To good. Had to copy. Thanks @Yog .
Jelica Eveliina: Company/+4, Biotic Specialist (+1 to Biotic units), Mobility Master (+2 to highly mobile units)
[X] Hire her
-[X] As a comando she had biotic training. Question her if she may train Revi.
Should we start employing aliens on a more general level?
[X] Yes
-[X] Legal and Advertisment would profit from it.
-[X] Research department need througout individual screening and aprove by Revi.
-[X] Locals should be favored.
Interested?

--[X] Have them start planning the Hyper Modular Fortress City (Ship) Atlantis to be developed on Earth for our eventual expansion there.
----[X] Utilize Williams' experience in designing the defensible settlement; use the project to evaluate him - we need to get a handle on the man and what he's worth
----[X] Carefully arrange some leaks (PI is planning to expand to Earth, but wants to do it in style and is, thus, preparing) to Terra Firma
Copied from @Yog .
Do you wish to take any of these jobs? (You have 25 teams and a Tiger)
[X] Guard Human Colonies, 5 million per team (How many teams?)
-[X] 4 Teams
[X] Send teams to Anhur for a year, 30 million per team (How many teams?)
-[X] 16 Teams. Better to deploy more that 1 team per site even if not all sites can have adittional defenders through ParSec.
[X] Keep forces at home for training/other jobs (How many)
-[X] 5 Teams will go to the artifact hunt with Liara.
Cost per year 25 * 10 = 250
Revenue per year 16 * 30 + 4 *5 = 500
Profit 250m
Gasuk is to dangerous. Maybe later if the offer still stands.

Krogan scintists are so rare that Gavon may count as a significant percentage of them. Alone.
And maybe I have misunderstood his stand...
He has nothing against salarian. If the salarien behaves bad towards him he will handle him like every other intelligent (and unintelligent) beeing who annoys him: He break every one of his bones.
What I have is not a plan.
The research is still missing as well as the investments this quater. Both equally important as the votes.
The later will have to wait until the Finacial Sheet is updated.

You're the second person to tell me that.
I'll wait until a full plan gets presented then.
Yes, he thinks it's a brilliant solution to the problem and has no qualms about it at all. His opinion didn't begin to change until the mission he was part of on Tuchanka, which doesn't happen until 2183.
No, we accidentally unlocked a hidden faction to play as. And then gamed the shit out of our innate bonuses.
What we're telling the alliance about our upcoming stuff is part of this vote.

I know, but no votes so far have even Hinted at explaining our new murder boat that were cooking up.
Just curious, is all.
I think that a new frigates design is that noteworthy.
New military design have always the best tech for their funktions.
Even with it comming out SA is most likely already designing a new frigat/cruiser/dreadnought with the new tech.
So absolutly nothing special or gamechanging. At best the execution of how PI tech is put together will suprise them.
And it took 14+ hours to write! Thanks though. I own you one. Some of those errors...
wow. It looked okay when I reread it before posting! Silly brain I was thinking per quarter... but if the balance of the contracts is off then feel free to give me reasonable alternatives I just made guestimations based on team pay.
Heavy fighting isn't expected on Anhur... yet. But skirmishes oh yes. And it is 50% above guarding a colony that might be raided.
Ten or so raiders, maybe a frigate as well if your forces are unlucky?
Edit: Oh and the GARDIAN battery.
Soldier (+1) on the average, could probably get together a team or five of veterans (+2)
Training levels going up? (Up to a point) Also having units around. Or being able to send them on other jobs that may pop up in part 2 or using them for something else you guys think up.
Some of this made me laugh... lol.
What do you mean? As in prices and stuff? Sorta... I need to do some fiddling.
Edit: Any particular variations I should add? I need to add both block upgrades, notes for adding Cyclonic and warp barriers to existing stuff, anything else?
Something like that.
The Litinana don't really have anything like universities. They could have some one teach, but that'd be a lot like asking for a research hero. Or do you mean going to their world and poking around? Because they're not really in favor of that.
Works.
Pretty, much. Makes the poor QM cry inside it does.

Humm, colour wise, i like gold on blue, myself.
(i love this type of quest, but i seem incapable of processing a vote for more than two or three things at a time, and using a tablet cuts that down to basically one, so my contributions tend to end up limited to occasional comments.)
...
I'm trying to think what else used those colours... it reminds me of something, but i can't remember what.
Maybe black primary, blue secondary, and gold detail work?

Revy: I'm not sure how well that will really work, I don't keep my day-planner that up-to-date.
SA: Oh, we only need to know about the things that will have the largest impact, we don't need to know your day-today activities... do we?
Revy:
I kinda like the fact that our anti-starship torpedo is basically an updated casaba howitzer.
Seriously, ripping stuff apart with spacetime warping is cool and all, but I always got the impression that they were...maintaince hogs? With all the eezo and projectors for the warping...
There has to be something said for a 'low tech' missile that capable of potentially mimicking a dreadnoughts main gun/Thanix cannon.
Hey, that line about cyclonic barrier upgrades..can we fit them into hardsuits to improve them at the cost of higher maintaince?
Well, at least Revy has an excuse to uptech for giant metal space cuttlefish, if the guys in SA freak out about the Cabina.
Totally need to get dreadnought tech done..we cannot rely Saren being beaten and the Citadel being sealed off from the Reapers...

The team were there and back so fast you can assign them again.
Eh... I'm sorta dividing the update into 3 or so steps to keep the bloat down (It's sorta working!). Part One is the resolving votes step. Part Two is new stuff. Part 3 is Company Actions, Research and Personal Actions. So feel free to vote away on the votes presented.
While some steps are plans (the third one mostly) this is sort a free for all voting. So vote for the things you can/want to and don't for things you don't. Also supporting some ones' vote by voting [ ]name (just add the X), or suggesting an alterations to a vote. Also I've been trying to squish all the votes together at the end in a spoiler so I think you should just be able to C-P that block or hit reply and delete everything else. But I don't use a tablet so what do I know.
The US state of Alaska. Where I live. Also the University of Alaska Fairbanks colors IIRC. (Yellow is often substituted for Gold) No clue otherwise.

Oh boy... I love this quest but .. SO MUCH MATH
Let me give you a quote that pretty much sums up this quest:
"Shepard Quest: The only quest in which the omakes are hard math."
It gets pretty insane, to the point where I just tend to gloss over most of the stuff.
But I'm sticking with it, mainly to see just how well we manage to prepare the Galaxy for the Reapers.
...
Which reminds me...new idea:
Make Quorn the Quarians!
Meat flavored protein food without the need for livestock, except for fungus so producing it does not take up a lot of space.
They will love it, I'm sure.

I know that sigand I heartily agree with it
However maybe it's best for everybody if we try to figure out how to make things simpler I mean Hoyr spent over a week working on a single update. We should at least make it slightly easier on the guy
Edit not to mention me have dozens of updates until we hit ME 1 at minimum with mini turns it's even longer

Well...the only way I can think of is that we separate 'research', 'PI Expansion', 'events' and 'personal actions'.
Sure, there would technically be more updates and some loss of emersion, but they will be smaller and more managable.
I know a few CK2 based games that have done that due to the shear size.
