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
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?
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.
