in the golden age, how much time is between each start? (also the dark ages)

I honestly have yet to determine this as the Destiny Timeline is not exactly known to count the time.

Right now the closest thing I found to a time is that it's going to take at least a minimum of 50 years before 'R' is turned into our favorite Russian robot and the first colonies are established.

The other thing I found was that the moment Mara and her brother are born, the countdown to the end starts as according to the wiki, she was 19 years old when she was in the colony ship when the Collapse occurred.

Now, to pass the time; I need your opinion on the following research length based on making the SPARTAN Project a reality.

'Note, the following is just for the biological aspect, no creating the SPARTAN armor'

SPARTAN 1
-Adult subjects get MCU Captain America level state.

Phase 1- DC 500= Project works as long as the adults take the drugs, but in the long term, they develop the bad side effects from canon.
Phase 2- DC 1500= Still have to take the drugs but no long-term side effects from taking them.
Phase 3- DC 3000= Gene therapy for the effects to be permanent with no side effects, inherited to children.


SPARTAN 4
-Adult subjects are like an S4.
Just one Phase, requires S1 above fully finished. DC 5000


So, good or should I increase the DC?

neat,what type of bonus system do you intent to use?

flat: 3d100+ 10 -> 34,75,21 + 10 = 140
per dice: 3d100 + (3*10) = 34+10, 75+10 ,21+10 =160

flat bonuses run the risk of lagging behind the increase on progress bar (a +10 in a 3k project is 0.33% ,a rounding error),at mid to late stages are pretty much useless

per die bonuses scale better,because if you are using 2,10 or 30 dices you get the same % in bonus

to keep it from going crazy (like having +50 on every dice),just make earning bonuses "per dice" increasingly hard (first project gives +1 and is cheap,next is a bit more expensive,then the nex increases on cost and so on untill it plateus around a value of your choice,maybe +30?)
and let flat bonuses be for omake rewards

I yet to decide, though I am leaning more towards flat.
Though I might change it to 'per dice' depending on how long a turn will cover.

For now I am starting toward one turn being a quarter, which a year having four, so flat in this case.
While maybe later on a turn covering a full year would be a per dice situation.

On the other hand, it might also change depending on what tech we have on hand.
Cause let's face it, we get a hold of perfectly working SIVA with a Warmind to run it; manufacturing actions might as well be super fast.

    [X] Start of the Golden Age, The First Meeting

    Okay, so we are starting in the literal beginning of it all.

    We are starting on Earth; just one month after the Ares One group made contact with the Traveler, but no information from the group has yet to be known to the public.

    The company is in North America, which just recently became the North American Empire*, which came as a result of:

    [] [AMERICA] The peaceful union of Canada, US and Mexico.

    [] [AMERICA] The annexation of Canada and Mexico to the US through diplomacy.

    [] [AMERICA] The annexation of Canada and Mexico to the US through military force.

    [] [AMERICA] The desperate union of Canada, US and Mexico to stabilize their nations after a series of bad events.

    [] [AMERICA] Write In

    *There is hardly anything on the so-called North American Empire; so decide to take liberties on it.
    Only thing about it that is clear that they had an economy that was not regulated that much, leading to Clovis' corporation to have it's established freedom in doing what ever he wanted, which we all know how that ended.

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Provide a name* for the company and its specialty:
    -It's specialty will determine it's bonus in either points or dice.

    [] [NAME] Write In


    [] [SPECIALITY] R&D

    [] [SPECIALITY] Manufacturing

    [] [SPECIALITY] PMC

    [] [SPECIALITY] General (aka jack of all trades)

    [] [SPECIALITY] Write In


    *Regarding the name, after a talk with a friend of mine; I am willing to allow the use of ironic names.
    Example being: Cabal Heavy Industries, or Vex Information Systems. Hell, I will even allow the use of Bungie.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    How old is the company:

    [] [AGE] Just made.
    - Start with a small amount of resources only.
    - Small staff or even just one person (depending on specialization)
    - No obligations.

    [] [AGE] Established, normal.
    - Start with a medium amount of resources.
    - Some small obligations from the start.

    [] [AGE] Established, giant.
    - Start with a large amount of resources and dices.
    - Big obligations to be made from the start.

    ==========================================================

    Dice Rules:

    Established=
    - Crit (not 100) add +5 to the result. The opposite is removes -5 to the result.

    Art 100: If the final result after bonus is exactly 100, it counts as a NAT 100.
    [] [ART100] Yes
    [] [ART100] No

    Dice Crits Range:
    [] [RANGE] 1-5=95-100
    [] [RANGE] 1-3=98-100

    Results of NAT 100/NAT 1:
    [] [RESULT] Adds +30/-30 to the result.
    [] [RESULT] Adds 1d100/removes one dice if more than one is used
    [] [RESULT] Finished the entire phase/drops the DC back to zero even it would be finished in the same turn.
    [] [RESULT] Write In

    =======================

    Okay, so here is the next entry.

    After this one, creating the MC will be done.

    Also, my laptop is acting a bit strange.
    So I am planning on taking it to my local shop to check it tomorrow.
    So while I have my phone, I won't be able to write large texts while the laptop is there.

    Also, I forgot to state it but omakes are welcome here.

    Vote moratorium for at least 8 hours until I open the vote. So discuss potential votes.

    Being a mercenary would be good honestly.
     
    I kind of want to go for a General specialty, or for Manufacturing, R&D could be cool too though.
    Alternatively what if we specifically specialize in something like Robotics or programming?

    I'm imagining the MC as Gladys from portal as Skynet's former head research program that's just so, so sick of designing new kill bots to beat her old kill bots the humans somehow got ahold of and sent back to try and avert judgement day. May even make an Omake of Gladys murdering the this timelines original Skynet.
