Current Research
>Small land drone
>Large land drone

Available research options
>Lightning gun
Very slow: potential of failure and destruction of sample device
This powerful weapon appears to throw rapid bursts of highly conductive plasma in a manner not unlike natural lightning. The humans of the Union call it a “CIP Pistol” which seems to stand for “Concentrated Ionized Plasma”. From what you have seen of it in action, it appears to have devastating damage potential, but is difficult to aim and holds a very short effective range.

>Ion thrusters
Slow
The Unity drone is held aloft by a series of powerful ion thrusters that use the air particles around it, or stray particles found in the interstellar medium to accelerate and change vector in a highly efficient fashion. No real fuel is needed, only a powerful electrical charge. The only major drawback is that with the increase in efficiency comes a drop in overall performance and power. The Unity appears to have gotten around this limitation by carrying their drones in larger ships that transport them in and out of combat, and by limiting the drone’s size to a bare minimum.

>Cyclotron particle beams
Very slow: Runs a potential of failure and destruction of the sample device.
Unlocks Liner particle beam research
The Unity drone is equipped with four powerful cyclotrons, a ring of superconductors that use powerful magnetic fields to rapidly accelerate a series of particles to near-light speeds, which are each attached to one of the four main weapons. The cyclotron is both compact and efficient, but is relatively fragile as damaging any one component will disable the entire system. It also requires a short but noticeable amount of time for the cyclotron to accelerate a new shot. The drone fires them in sequence to account for this and provide more firepower.

>>32903935
>Conductive armor plating
Medium
The Unity drone appears to have been designed with the energy based CIP pistol in mind. Layers of highly conductive struts frame the armor like a faraday cage, protecting the inner working components from electrical fields and directing harmful blasts of energy away from critical areas. It is much less effective against solid projectiles however, and is only as strong as the metal alloy plating covering its chassis.

>Oxygen recycler
Slow
In the process of disassembling the human environment suit, the thinkers found a culture of artificially mutated microorganisms. They were able to take several samples and have set them aside for further study and application. The humans appear to have used them in a small tank to turn CO2 into breathable oxygen, you may be able to do the same, reducing the rate at which your drones need to breath, allowing them to work in areas even a filter lung would not function such as underwater or in vacuum.

>Reactive armor
Slow
While most of the human suit systems are designed to solve various failing of the human body, you may be able to learn from their chosen method of protection. The suit has a thin layer of microfibers that rapidly solidify into a dense shell when subjected to dangerous kinetic force, both serving as a cast for broken bones and protecting against blunt trauma. Developing a method of weaving a similar substance into your drones would greatly improve their resistance to impacts and ballistic attacks; however it would have no mitigating effect on directed energy weapons.

>Human dissection
The two human corpses taken from outside the Hel’s Angle are, between them, in good condition and could offer insight into human biology if dissected and studied fully.

>Ballistics
While the ranged weapons of the humans are not unlike your own, they do hold a variety of projectile types. Study of this ammunition variation could provide new kinds of projectiles to face new kinds of armors.

So are we making shock troop elites?

The hulking mass of armor plating and weapon mountings shifts in the ship's loading bay, the bulkhead creaking under the weight. "Maybe you didn't hear me. Back off, bugs, or get roasted." Lyle says as his arms raise to bring the two large barrels under them to bare. In one hand a small pilot light flickers from a pipe while the other begins to spin.

So lets bring this up to vote, so that we at least know if we are making them or not.

>>32904630
We're going to need to rush him as soon as possible.

>>32904363
Your warriors leap back as the ground under them erupts with the rapid torrent of bullets. Your warriors continue to fall back, firing at Lyle as they run. Flames roll over the ground behind them as he sweeps his weapon across the area. Your wasps make a pass, firing their weapons in a series of strafing runs to little effect.
"You hurt my sweetheart, you bastards!" He says after catching a glimpse of his ship's engines. You can hear several loud roaring noises and as your warriors look back they see several flaming objects streaking though the air. They impact near your warriors as they reach the edge of the clearing and the shock of the explosion tears several legs off and sends your warriors flying into the foliage. "Don't you ever touch my Angle!" you can hear him screaming as you leave, his weapons still torching the surrounding foliage. After some time your wasps double back and move into the trees to hide. The flames prevent them from getting much closer while staying hidden, but from what you can tell Lyle is walking the perimeter of the clearing, and you think you can see the other aliens crawling over the ship's hull.

We need to recover oour losses, make more warriors.

>>32904674
I don't think we can win even if we zerg rush him, we definately need to fall back. Are the warriors recoverable?

>>32904722

They're not that elite. They're warriors that fly and explode, not that much more dangerous.

>>32904841
Banelings for destroying the auxiliary engines or just Lyle himself.

Spore throwers to force him to use his flamethrower and slow down ship repairs.

Wasps to harrass ship from a distance

Warriors to clean up after harrass. Possibly with giant shield mutation.

Aren't the tool blades standard issue on the workers?

>Banelings
?

>>32904837
Workers and diggers are equipped with this. They can be used as a pick, an axe, a rake, a plow, a spackle, and many other useful tools due to its size and shape. It is unwieldy as a weapon, however.

>>32904884
A fuckton of senses do not make them more dangerous.

>>32904943
It was not made to be mass produced, but to be a special unit.

Suicide bombers.

They're Spec Ops units not rank and file soldiers.

A Thinker free of research makes them more efficient.

Actually we should free 1 of those from research now. Or is the boost to drones work amplified with more? If so, free 3 if we're gonna have a showdown like this.

Explosive glands. Fast movement. Suicide attacks. Cheap to Produce.

Banelings for swarming and elites for reconnaissance in force and heavy firepower.

>>Fast, cheap and disposable drone for suicide attacks

Why not both!

>>32905057
Can we adjust a Thorn Launcher to disable ammo generation, and allow different types of ammo to be loaded, like clumps of spore.

Give it filter lungs to prevent self-contamination, and we're good?

>>32905108
That is evil.
I like it.

>>32905103
Flight would make them more expensive, but yes. (not that a guided missile is in any way cheap, of course. Those things break the bank.)

>>32905108
"clumps" aren't solid and aren't aerodynamic, yo. We need a better delivery system researched if we want a missile with a bio- or chemical payload.

So sniffer made it back. Do we have any eyes on the ship? And What happened to the plan to dig under the ship?

>>32905171
I think it would still make for a good meter and a half cloud of spores. Not as long as the flamethrower, but we have numbers.

>>32905230
We rolled poorly on digging the ship into a hole last thread.

>>32905230
The plan failed because anon rolled a critical failure, hence the crazy cyborg australian in power armour.

on the ground it would be much slower than their warrior counterpart, but they would be capable of short hops through the air to get the drop on enemies or get over obstacles. Due to their weight it would be less 'flight' and more 'falling with style', but mechanically it would be the same as a space marine jump pack.

Feel free to modify, or vote to approve/reject.

>>32905230
Two wasps are trying to keep an eye on the ship, and several workers are slowly digging under the ship. It is painfully slow digging in the muddy ground, however.

>>32905366
>several workers are slowly digging under the ship
Cool, at least that still works.

>This Baneling idea
As cool as it sounds and as interested as I already am in mobile acid units, wouldn't they be really specific to the occasion? I mean you would need to have a lot to get close to the guy you wanted acided, and they would be weak to AOE. Why not a ranged acid spitter unit, with a extra sharp claws addition?

>>32905407
They're best used as remote mines, exploding when the enemy walks over them. They can also be dropped from above like bombs.

>>32905366
No combat claws on the suicide drone then? Just mandibles.

10 non-flying, 10 flying?

total cost would be 50 + 90 = 140 nutrients, and 20 + 40 = 60 upkeep?

>>32905448
We could have them hibernate until we need them.

>>32905407
I feel confident with basic carapace. They are cheap so we can easily get a ton of them, and remember how hard it was for the humans to get through to our warriors with their weapon tech? I think we got this, Unless they were packing away a rocket turret or two with a hidden store of ammo. We can roll them.

>>32905428
Dropping one of them on any repair attempts they make to their Angle sounds fun.

>>32905428
Maybe we will be able to develop units that are able to 'plant' mine units into the ground.

>>32905448
>>32905488
Another alternative would be to have them gestate really fast, like less than a day, though I think its up to the QM for that aspect.

>>32905565
With such a cheap cost I can't imagine they would take long. Unless he is using a different system.

>>32905525
Well Lyle does have a rocket launcher in his suit.

Also, if you were to change the suicide drones to Aerodynamic and give them jets you would essentially have a long range ballistic acid missile. With small drone tech they could be made into short range rockets that could be launched from larger drones.

>>32905620
Hmm, we'll keep that in mind.
Another possible idea, when we've mastered the zombie spores, is a suicide drone carrying spores in exploding pockets that detonate on death. Sort of like a temporary area denial weapon. Though I see lots of ways this can backfire horribly on us.

>>32905620
So a Pincer Ground/Orbital Meltdown Strike is quite possible, in the future.
My sides are now acidifying.

>>32905448
I think the combat claws are definitely worth it. The capacity to deal more damage before being cracked open and exploding everywhere is easily worth the 1 nutrient.

>>32905366
Why would we need to make a flying transport and or bomber drone?

>>32905366
Honestly not sure why both don't have sprint legs. I get the whole 'endurance' angle, but it seems silly in the face of the sheer potential for movement superiority.

>>32905836
I agree on this one, its not like we expect them to march cross-country like the other drones.

>>32905691
>Though I see lots of ways this can backfire horribly on us.
Only if you plan on living near the target location. Like a nuke, if you militarize and deploy the ocean spores you would end up dealing with the fallout.

If there are living things that are vulnerable to the spores at the target, they will quickly be infected. After that they will quickly go insane and blindly try to get as far from ground zero as possible before bursting open like a flower and spreading more spores. A spore bomb in a densely populated area would probably put anthrax to shame.

>>32905732
That would be a shuttle.
50N 150M
A small transport designed to carry drones and supplies to and from orbit. They don't have FTL but are fully capable of interplanetary flight in-system. I was waiting for you guys to build the Hangar before listing out spacecraft.

>>32905836
>>32905891
Design change noted.

>>32905772
Yes comrade also When we get Large drone research done Nydus worms might be an option we should invest in

>>32905906
Can we find an upgrade for the legs?

>>32905906
Did we ever finish undermining the ship? Dropping it into a hole and damaging the wings/ snapping them off would really set him back in escaping.

>>32905488
You'll have to ask QuestDrone first whether you can voluntarily do that, or if it's just something they do when they're starving naturally.

>>32905923
In that same vein I'm wondering if it would be wise to make workers create tunnels in many directions and reinforce them with support infrastructure to allow swift underground transport with large drones or just general travel and ambush methods, though it'd be better for the future when we'd have the numbers to prevent that sort of thing from backfiring awfully. And also hopefully the ant tunnels wouldn't bother the natives too much.

>>32906007
>>32905923
Why not replace digger drones with giant worm drones?

>>32905906
>A spore bomb in a densely populated area would probably put anthrax to shame
Won't that be a sight to see. But that's for later.

>>32906007
>prevent that sort of thing from backfiring awfully.
Like people coming into the tunnels and backtracking them?

Drone traps, tunnel seals, organic obstacles, etc. Getting an enemy trapped in one of our tunnels would be a boon.

>>32906028
Genius. Giant digger worms would be pretty efficient for it.

Just got here, did you guys decide on the number and type of units to spawn already? Cuz I didn't see any numbers like that.

>>32906036
Ah, sorry, I missed that.

Well, I see the main problem is that human is in a powered armor suit. It appears likely to be NBC sealed so the fungus-bio weapons might not work. I do remember the queen can produce cement like goo that can seal up holes, right? Can we not modify that to create a 'goo spray' to entangle him and entrap him?

>>32905999
Actually, default fighters hibernate to keep their cost down, so your ships can deploy hundreds of them at once without having to pay a really high upkeep, so I will allow it.

Let's say.... half cost while hibernating?

Welcome! Just finalizing new drone designs.

>>32906184
>fungus-bio weapons might not work
define "work". The purpose is to harrass, distract, and waste ammo. If he can't repair the ship, we win.

>>32906054
The giant digger worm might be able to do double duty as both a digger and a refiner. it eats the dirt, craps out useable metals and other materials we can use.

>>32906184
The workers can do that for too, and its not really goo, its more like cement made from saliva and crushed rocks. I don't think we can make it work as a sort of non-lethal entrapping agent, unless we somehow have a dedicated drone for it, or I'm just overthinking this.

>>32906229
He already can't repair it. Unless he has some premade backup engines.

what? Those aliens may be on his side, starting the repairs on the main engine. What makes you think they can't fix whatever damage we've done?

>>32906316
Because the engines are completely destroyed. I seriously doubt they can just manufacture new ones with on ship supplies.

>>32906229
If the zombie fungus can't reach his fleshy parts, it's not going affect him. If we are just harassing and distracting him, we can just toss rocks/stingers/thorns at him for the same effect with out risking our own drones with the back lash the fungus can do.

>>32906342
not destroyed, but damaged to hell.
All he needs is the aliens to jurry rig them.

>>32906342
They're completely inoperable, but there's a decent chance they can do at least a patch job.

I kind of WANT to let them fix it up a little so we can research it.

>>32906273
A 'Mud Wasp' concept of a dedicated drone could work. They can toss of walls, barriers and bunkers real quick, as well as possibility taking targets alive. When they are not fighting, they can help build new structures for use to use quickly.

>>32906343
Projectile weapons do not go through cover; Spores do. They're more effective at keeping a zone on lockdown, since Lyle will have to burn the area to disinfect it after even a single bomb gets through.

>>32906365
I'm pretty sure QD said they were damaged to the point of complete destruction last thread. Even if they are only damaged to hell, it will take a lot more than a jury rig.

>>32906384
Based on the damage QD talked about in previous threads, it's not a decent chance, but a chance so close to zero we can approximate it to be zero.

>>32906225
How about for now 7 of the missile drones to strike the ship or suicide bomb Lyle, and some warriors reinforcements for cleaning them up after that.

Though I suppose the warrior reinforcements could be replaced by a couple more expensive elite, but I feel the warrior reinforcement is more needed than the elite guard at the moment.

>>32906468
That implies it's impossible to lose this encounter already.

That is crazily optimistic.

Large chunks of the engine fell off, but did the drones salvage those and steal them back to the hive?

>>32905989
>>32906225
IS there a way up grade or combine sprint and endurance legs?

>>32906550
There's zero need to.

At the moment, I think spore bombs are far too much of a liablity to consider. Lets stick with the acid missiles and combat drones.

>>32906425
A flying worker which can double as a hostage maker doesn't sound too bad at all.

>>32906506
Depends on how you look at losing it.

>>32906568
Better units over all.

>>32906225
What do you think of the Mud wasp and the worm drone Ideas?

>>32906588
That's not a use case.

>>32906425
Sort of a support drone that could quickly create cover and shelter on the move? Could be useful when colonizing other places.

>>32906609
You can't just declare "i want a worm". You don't have a carapace for that.

Worms are not actually scalable soft dirt diggers anyway, or more efficient or flexible than a worker drone.

>>32906626
it would probably need to have the
>Chemical forge: A powerful auxiliary stomach that breaks down raw ore into a useable alloy. The auxiliary stomach is large and has a high capacity, granting Honey Pot for free. Can vomit the contents to spray an area with volatile chemicals to cause massive damage. Is under extreme pressure, granting Explosive glands for free. (12)
>>32906644
Thats why i said ideas, and the worm drone idea is based off one of the research from above.

This on a wasp might be a good early bomber unit

Does Theseus have anything to say on the repair capabilities of Hels Angle and her crew? Or repair times for totally scrapped engines and such from similar vessels?

>>32906506
They are still attached. Think of a plane with a wing that has been damaged so much that it has snapped in half and is hanging by the twisted interior structure. The engine has broken loose from the gimbal it's mounted on, but all the wires and piping are still attached.

>>32906609
>Mud wasps
My first thought would be to compare them to a guy with an entrenching tool. They would be able to build favorable defensive positions quickly like a worker, but could fly to and from areas where it is needed most very quickly. Not sure how effective it would be at capturing live targets, since the cement doesn't harden instantly. All in all, it could help out your combat drones decently so long as you got a little prep time.

>Digger worms
An interesting idea, but it would be difficult to design. My thinking is a large, elongated worker that could hold up the walls of the tunnel its digging while laying cement to support it as it moves.

>>32906225
So does everyone agree with the currently proposed designs? Or have suggested changes?

>>32906783
So are we just gonna talk here or is something going to happen?

>>32906579
>>32906626
Indeed. Also, on a defensive side, they can seal off tunnels with out the use of bombs or undermining to collapse. Also, they can repair our center hive if it comes under attack.
>>32906644
Instead of a worm then, we are researching the bodies of those massive beetle critter we killed. So we can make a compromise digger bug that is just much better at digging than the ones we already have. It's like the diggers we have now is like a man with a shovel. This large bug is a back-hoe.

>>32906783
I agree with the currently proposed designs.

Let's make some up and bomb the crap outta them. If we're lucky maybe we can get them while they're still doing repairs.

>>32906779
We really should ask him about that.
>>32906783
That means that there's still a remote possiblity of them somehow still jury rigging it. If this were hard sci fi that thing wouldnt fly at all, but you never know.
I agree with all the designs.

>>32906783
QD, the 'cement' the 'Mud Wasps' can use on taking prisoners alive is much like the goo guns our police use in SWAT and riot operations. The goo is very sticky and quickly hardens like super glue. Once you are encased like that, you are not going very far.

>>32906783
Looks good to me.

>>32906783
would the worms be better than diggers?
and
what would they do differently?

>>32906919
What QD is saying is that our current cement doesn't harden quickly enough to mimic that ability.
But still, that just means our enemies will have to be held down a bit or made unconscious while they get cocooned.

>>32906783
Now let's get on to drone production.
This entire process still takes longer than I would like, but I want to make sure you have a chance to discuss and get creative with your designs.

Correct.

>>32906951
Well it would still have legs to walk, but it would use its bulk to hold up the tunnel around it. Essentially it would be less effective at mining for resources and more effective at making subterranean structures. Any task involving digging large tunnels or caverns would be reduced in time requirement greatly.

I try to only to that when a lot of time is spent micromanaging something in one location. Like, having an extended battle in the jungle, then at the end going over what you did at the hive while the warriors were fighting. It seems like the best way to manage events in multiple locations while not breaking up the action.

I also do it if I forget something. Any time I forget or mis-file a bit of info I always err in your favor. If I find a resource calculation error in my ever-expanding spreadsheet, I take the higher number, or if I forget to have a vote on a proposal I just let you vote on it retroactively.

Not in the way humans know of 'sleep', the Queen not only doesn't need sleep, but can't sleep since she is the only thing keeping the other drones functioning and so turns portions of the brain on and off periodically not unlike a dolphin, the rest do not have the mental capacity to require it and are only limited by physical endurance. That's one of the reasons your projects are done so quickly and your resource gathering is so efficient, it's 24 hours, 7 days a week labor.

Well not so much as "reveal" as gives you the means to take care of them and maintain them. I can list out some basic space stuff if you want but I haven't yet because it seemed like unnecessary things to worry about.
And because I was still making them

>>32908688
Do you think we're going to let them live long enough to find it?

how many workers are free right now?

>>32908688
A days march for us would be several for them.

No, but i figured that the scientist would eventually come again( he obviously is the one that sent the hunter), and could end up finding the out post, since it should stand out a bit.

>Salvage expedition: Engineering; If we have Workers with the Breathing filters there.
>Salvage expedition: Crew quarters; If we only have are regulars or stunted growth ones there.

>>32908787
By then we'll be done with the ship.

How many workers are needed for each job as well.

>>32908700
I say send the expedition into the storage pods. Good stuff we can use right away is likely there.

Maybe these guys came in like a week? I think

I figured we would have turned it into, a second base/laboratory.

>>32908832
And their ship is broken.

You ponder your options for your drones to work on. You have twenty idle at the Clarke.

Here's an idea: develop a more volatile version of the Speaker drone, send it to the Lyle mercenary for a peace offer + our dead children. He's going to send them to the mad scientist right?
Well, does that scientist have a real big surprise when he tries dissecting our comatose blow-up-speaker...

3 workers for each room, then send the rest to build the Hanger.

Noone wants to build some farms at Clarke?

>>32908948
Send 10 to the Storage pods first
Send 5 to work on Connector tunnels
Send 5 back to work on Hanger

>>32908948
>>Boost connector tunnel

>>32908948
Any workers with filtered lungs at the Clarke outpost?
If No, Send Salvage expedition into the Clarke:
Crew Quarters
Habitation ring
Medical
Storage pods
Five for each with Unassigned thinkers, if we have any, boosting them.

Does the dna get destroyed as well, i can see him doing some tricky shit, like removing the gland before its all gone or salvaging the parts that didn't melt yet.?

>>32909040
Good point, we'll need food.. Changing my vote to
10 to pods, 5 connector tunnels, 2 hanger and 3 on farms.

I wait until we're able to make human mimics.

>>32909232

Eh, i rather just make a parasite drone that controls humans instead, we could find a way to do this through the ocean spores.i also want to explore the ocean as well.

Theseus talked about how his side was able to get Lyle to offer a job for them after they tortured him a bit.
Anyone else want to try that if he somehow manages to survive our onslaught?

>>32909304
Not really.

>>32909288
I'm for that as well.

nah fuck that, he has some pretty sweet tech on him right, plus all we have to offer is samples and drone.
Both of which are horrible ideas.

>>32909339
Most of that tech will be damaged and we could easily get it from Unity

>>32909370
So what you're saying is no long-term loss from smashing him up a bit, just free loot? Cool.

Seriously though, not prepared to trust the AIs until more reliable information surfaces on them.

>>32908948
You split up your workers and send them into the Clarke to find if anything useful survived the crash. Once they return they will help finish the tunnel, if it isn't finished by then already.

Please roll 1d100, best of 3

Unity doesn't know all of the tech he has, only that they have given him tech.

yes, but i doubt a robot not connected to the hive AI, knows what each tech is and how it was made/used.

>>32909118
Extremely volatile, so our good doctor will get doused in extra-corrosive acid if even one nerve is cut.

But yeah, we'll get there in the future.
Other crazy ideas include hiring Lyle to kill the doctor (but how?), getting Clarke to output enough power to prolong Theseus' life (and house it there for the time being), and finding out ways to assimilate the other aliens (once we neutralize them all)...

The only way i'm willing to let Lyle live, is if we make a drone parasite and shove that shit inside of him( might need to spend a shit ton of resources to be able to control the drone though).
