Shepard Quest Mk VII, Age of Revy (ME/MCU)

Centurion is too low ranked. We can keep that name for the next mass produced Power Armor.

For Revy's suit I vote Legate or Dux, the commander of a legion.
 
What if we give Shepard personal armor the same name for all it's versions from now on?

Like Americans do with the air force 1 thing.

And only worry about names of the new version armors we are going to mass produce?
 
Yay, all that politicking finally paid off! Arms race here we go!

And motherfkn mk2 armor, yisssss. Now its only practical weakness are high-powered lasers.

And that weakness should be solvable once we research total internal reflection (TIR) and gravitational wave detectors, assuming TIR shields can be sustained indefinitely and GW sensors or miniaturized QEC plus drone sensors suffice for the loss of direct vision.

All PI and Parsec owned lasers are upgraded, so no upgrades to past GARDIAN towers constructed or ships with laser weapon systems.
This is kinda ambiguous. Are lite laser pyndas already upgraded? Or only Parsec-owned ones and not the SA-owned ones? How much would it cost to refit the not-yet-upgraded lasers?

What about everyone else?
[] Yes, sell UV lasers to customers
[] No, keep UV lasers for in house use
This is even more purely military technology than repulsors - are SA going to place export restrictions on them like they did with repulsors (and 2nd gen arc reactors, I think)? Is "customer" here just the SA military industrial complex?

[X] Cortana Update [/150150]: Now that you have a better programming language it was time for your trusty digital assistant to get a update!
Er, pretty sure we started with 0 RP in Cortana Upgrade and only put 100 into it.

But I'll take the free 50 RP :D

Sustained Barrier
1d100+15
DC 45
94
Looks like the DC only decreased by 5 since last time we failed training sustained barrier (along with training construct). Indicates that either each successive try decreases DC by 5 or each additional simultaneous biotic training increases DC by 5.

This time it was entirely your fault, you just simply had too much to focus on this quarter to take some time off to meet up with Liara. She was understanding of course and wished you luck with your work.
Are the dice are trying to tell us something about dating Liara? :V

FTL Communications. Sure the installation size is basically a small room and had a limited bandwidth with only does point to point data transfer between two QEC rooms but it works!
Is there a QEC Mk 2 or further research project to miniaturize and/or reduce cost of QEC?

Result: Brain Shield MKII complete! Can now produce helmets that can stop Asari mind melds and Prothena tech interactions, detect mental influences, and counter them! Not perfect however as there are still many things it cannot do. Brain Shield MKIII unlocked!
Results: Batarian Cypher broken!
Do we have an in-universe reason (that is, non-metaknowledge) to use the brain shield while decrypting Batarian data?

Rank system is something I added, and mechanics are on the front page. Ask if need clarifications.
Huh could've swore research character requirements weren't new, i.e. only Revy could research MCU tech, or only Mordin/Revy-led teams could really research cutting edge biotech, or something along those lines. Don't remember if there was a way to open up said restrictions like your new rank system allows.

1. only the ones you own will be upgraded, anything sold or given to others before this point will not be upgraded
2. this is if you want to sell them at all
3. yes, later
4. no

Revy knows Reapers are psionic and she knows that it's highly suspect that Batarians suddenly have much better technology than the citadel and asari, but i doubt she suspects that indoctrination is almost memetic and can do bullshit over digital records.

That said, i doubt she didn't install the technology in the ironman suit, so maybe she'll be lucky and notice any kind of sheenigans before paragon industries intelligence - or Cortana - gets indoctrinated and she did resist the first time. It's fine /meme.

Results: QECs unlocked! Conrad is now liked by his fellow coworkers! Progress!
i really think that we should keep this for the Alliance only for now as the other races are not helping the humans with the war, so no need to reward them with this high end tech

[X] Yes, donate the planetary defenses
[X] Yes, sell UV lasers to customers
[X] Keep Cortana name
[X] Default Halo Cortana
 
We really need to make defenses against that laser it's too powerful with no counter. It could probably wipe colonies from range and no previous defense would be able to do a thing.
 
nice results/

so a few new times for main buildings are(im rounding up at any .5)

Factory III 3=2
Lab III 3=2
Small Shipyards 2 turns= 1 turn
Medium Shipyard 3 turns = 2 turns
Large Shipyard 4 turns = 2 turns
Space Factory I 4 turns =2 turns
Heavily Armed Space Factory II 11 turns = 6 turns
Bombardment Grade City Shield 5 turns = 3 turns
Large Ground GARDIAN Turret-no change
Large Ground MA Turret-no change

these are a few important ones to be sure

Heavily-armed Space Factory III 19 turns = 10 turns
What Attack? Grade Shield Planetary Shields 22=11 turns
the 2 above is currently the longest possible build times ATM

The dice gods clearly do not approve of Liara, they obviously support the better ship of Shep/SCIENCE!!!

Ah yes, the eternal quarterly PI vs PI arms race.
If we'd researched TIR sheilding we could announced we'd obsoleted a form of weapon in the demonstration immediately after it had revolutionised space warfare.

We might need to expand more into the core worlds soon. I don't think the outer colonies have enough educated/skilled workforce for our plans.

Construction duration reduced by 50% to a minimum of 1 turn
Questions:
1) Round up or down?
2) Does it apply for the current construction projects? For ex, if there is still 4 quarters left of construction, is that now halved to 2 quarters?

This is pretty massive (heh) for our larger construction projects. The 1 quarter minimum doesn't matter (unless we have other construction bonuses) since even small shipyards currently take 2 quarters to build, and other than ground turrets, we're not building anything that takes just 1 quarter.

We really need to make defenses against that laser it's too powerful with no counter. It could probably wipe colonies from range and no previous defense would be able to do a thing.
We need to research total internal reflection to block light, along with gravitational wave detector to compensate for loss of vision the former results in. Or miniaturized QEC-equipped drone sensors (or if gravitation wave-based comm-equiped drones if that's cheaper). Depending on how inefficient sustained TIR shields end up being, we may also need to have thermal compensators researched.

Another approach would be improved armor via statis plate and perhaps whatever armor tech is unlocked by unobtainium.

The only other option I can think of is to somehow evade lasers. Which outside of obvious tells, would require FTL sensors, which there currently is no research option for?

edit: oops forgot to reply to a quote, putting in later post

and my brain is just telling me to copy Gundam and make this


something that capture any energy base stuff thrown at it and return it right back in the face as disk
