Kasumi manages to evade you for the time being. She is clever enough to avoid your electronic eyes and be well hidden when the cloak runs out of time.
Intensify Electronic Surveillance! The Panopticon is unstoppable!
"I'm teaching her to fire them! Which may or may not lead to some practical project in the future. Stable complex fine field effects aren't my thing... maybe some one else can do something with it..."
I'm picturing starships firing DES blades and I am
smiling.
Biotic!Ships are the way of the future!
"Gaver has such wonderful ideas. I do like him." Indigo chimes in, "Being able to claw things at a distance will be very nice."
"Right looks, like you'll have to lag the off set field based on range if you want full effect... so most just practicing." Gaver says.
Jack nods. Well you did say Jack could use the room to practice if no one else was... and having more positive social interaction is good. Not much you can do about Gaver offering suggestion on how to user her biotics better in his off time either. Still Jack really doesn't need to be any more deadly.
We really need to train up our Biotics. That way we can join in on these little Biotic training sessions.
"Yes Asari are almost worse about it, we love integrating bits of other cultures, borrowing ideas we like. Of course culture is a big deal. Do it wrong and people get offended. Social dynamics, cultural pluralism, all important things to teach children."
Huh. That was a rather nice and informative bit on Asari culture. Not what I was expecting from the romance option.
"Well apparently we sit around and discuss comparative schooling practices." you joke, which gets a small smile, "though I have to confess to actually finding the subject interesting."
"I can't disagree with that." Liara responds as you share amused smiles.
Begun the D'aww Wars have!
The captain of the Dahja, one of the Quarian's secondary food production ships, expresses an interest in the mobile housing; however for the Quarians it would be great if the housing could be towed while deployed. A massive amount of Quarian defense strategy revolves around them all living on ships and using that to run away.
Adding a small mass reduction system and an inertial dampener would make that possible for smaller combined sections at least.
Note to self: Remember to include a proposal for towable mobile houses in the next production update. It could make a good stopgap.
While you are a scientist, you are also an engineer
It's been a while since you've played mechanic as opposed to researcher.
I think
@Hoyr is trying to tell us something. Clearly Revy wants to get back to her Engineering roots somehow. We need to come up with some interesting engineering challenges for her.
As most of your particular talented commanders are an Anhur at the moment
Okay this confirms it. We
definitely need to hunt for more talented commanders. That and set up an academy for training our own officers since that somehow keeps getting forgotten.
You manage to get though 24 hours of build cycles, before...
"Light wakes detected, 35 signatures," Cortana informs you as she receives an alert from the warships orbiting Mindoir.
You stop trying to figure out how to get any more of the shields working, times up.
Huh. So did Revy just spend 24 hours solid trying to get as many shields up? Because this seems to imply that we skipped sleeping to do so.
@Hoyr how rested is Revy? Because this could be very important to our choices for the upcoming battle.
One assumed dreadnought, six assumed cruisers, twenty-eight frigate escorts, no SA or other friendly IFF signals.
Damn. If they are military grade ships, which I'm guessing they are, then even at cost, so without the standard 20% markup, and assuming everything is on the smaller end then we're talking about a fleet valued at 30.9
trillion credits.
Someone
really doesn't like us. Especially given:
Ah... when it's not a dreadnought; when it's a carrier, obviously. Still landing one implies either an expensive vessel or technological ability beyond what most Citadel races have as no one s land-able ships larger than a frigate, it costs to damn much.
means the Carrier is even
more expensive.
Who the hell is insane enough to land a dreadnought?
Well a Paragon Industries Dreadnought, or at least one
I would design, would be fully capable of planetary landing. Even without mass lightening a 2.5 million ton Dreadnought with 6gs of acceleration would only require a 147,150MN Repulsor which comes in at 300 billion. Drop that down to 1.5gs and the cost goes down to 73.6 billion credits.
So yeah I would totally build a Dreadnought capable of landing. Hell what makes it even
easier is that thanks to the way large ships, like Dreadnoughts, are designed it would land on it's engines, since that would keep natural gravity aligned with the ships artificial gravity, so the cost would be included in the ship anyway rather then being a second set of engines.
