Here:
They often get destroyed. A possible solution is that, once a corridor is established, it exerts some force to maintain itself. Two comm buoys could then be synched while in proximity to each other and then very slowly moved apart without breaking the connection
Okay I've seen that, notice it only mentions that they are maintained in 'travelled areas'. I'm curious why they don't say Citadel or colonized space, however the fact it says, means I must concede.
Yeah, sorry, on my phone. Will correct in two hours, when I get to a computer.
Why can't mobiles be as good as computers?
Some mobiles, usually the really expensive ones, come pretty close. At least, many are as good as computers ten years ago.
)Well this could be done via extremis. This, having secondary and tertiary systems(not only neural but perhaps cardiovascular and adrenal too), and perhaps more like integrating more eezo into a body.via a safe mechanism or having the option of deployable cybernetic systems ( jets and flight systems, targeting and/or combat computers running our personality in a perry rhodan or quest jack style and get us way above human cognition and reaction speeds in critical situations) or remodeling biological mass and systems for a set task and then resetting them to default once done.
There seems to have been a problem, let me see if I can fix it.
What a happy coincidence.
It is no coincidence.
We are finishing bioforming this turn. I'm not sure we really need cruisers soon.
Maybe. Personally, unless somethings make it so we HAVE to have it, I'd go with:
We just recently developed superalloys and are making invisible man now. Those two should put us ahead again.
Mark 2 is 500 points. That's... Well, that's significant. I mean, sure, what the hell, we could delay, say, QEC by one turn. Or P&P skills. We aren't getting them next turn anyway, most likely.
Better armor comes after core Cabira techs, Perfect Alien, P&P skills, and (IMO) the shielding techs, in particular level 3-4 of Warp barriers since they might give our terrestrial barriers the ability to at least partially defend against DEWs (you can't TIR shield a Legionary); we should be ready for it sometime in 2175.
Neither one of these get to go into our 1.5 suit; in fact our suit still doesn't use the Advanced Materials upgrade.
It doesn't? I thought we were incorporating stuff like that into new models (i.e. 1.75, 1.8, etc). If so, yeah, we could probably delay... Hmm, P&P skills, I think, next turn, to develop a mark 2, so we could incorporate stuff into it.
How about we delay P&P as the more controversial of the two skills (within the thread) and commission our political guy to do a study on what the effects of P&P so we know what side of the cynical/idealistic spectrum Hoyr is sitting.
@Hoyr can confirm, but I think the idea was that advanced materials (and by extension superalloys) required too much of a fundamental redesign to be incorporated into the Mark 1.X. Everything else is in there, just not the materials techs.
The thing is, it depends on the timescale:
I don't see how this is relevant. We've already discussed the effects of P&P to death, what I was suggesting was that we delay researching it to get IC information about its impacts.
