"Commander, so there's mining equipment back at the other system which could be used to help MAL set up his mine, and we need that flow of cash.

As for the meat bags ... Should we just drop them off some where? I mean they could help be can we trust them.

... my vote for action is we break down one of the ships and make some Stalker V2.5 for exploring and scouting unknown areas. I assume the Material Processing Center can handle this.

Megacorp Bazstom legendary for their gigantic marketplaces and one of the great conglomerates even by corp standards. Get along with most corps supposedly quite well people love them for their ability to offer cheap bulks at superb prices and quality items coming from even other corp specialties even in bulk.

Megacorp SS otherwise known as Sorry Sun legendary for their ability to squeeze all the juice you can out of whatever resources you got. Material wise even they sweat blood at the prospect of ending up going up against them. Also believed to the most efficient recyclers and harvesters of so called trash out there making you a sorry son of a bitch.

There are two different military forces detected some public and private sector.

Discovered Colonial Military
Discovered Navy troops

Discovered Private Mercs
Discovered Paramilitary Corp
Discovered Contractors

The last one is a bunch of stinking pirates who upon realizing where they were surrendered and simply asked if we were either gonna space them, marooning, turning them in, or letting them go.

Even the navy forces and pirates.

The colonial military would like to be taken back home and promise safety, some form of payment, and good will for it.

Bounty wise...

It seems those with the largest bounties weren't among them but they MIGHT know something in that regard.

We DID however discover the following.

Rogue Psychic ran from official channels going underground. WARNING has removed limiters and failsafe is disabled WARNING
Captain Grimjoy an upcoming pirate captain. Was once a navy officer until deciding to go rogue for some reason.
Mad Man Mason a insanity ridden case renown for both madness and committed atrocities. WARNING detected psi emanations, neural tampering, body modifcation, and addictive behavior.

"I suppose, that's up to you. We'd be more than willing to send you back to where you came, or close, provided it's within reasonable distance for such small crafts as us and if you'd put in the good word for us.

Several of us are from planet Baha region of the subsector, so some have taken to calling us the "Bahamen"

Psychic power level estimates determined.

While unleashed still not capable of city wide devastion power otherwise fight in space would be much different categorical is not above B rank.


Rankings are numbered 1-10 with letters UU, SS, M, U,S, A, B, C, D, E, F

Letter is for power.
Number is for Finesse.

F is non psi users thus the default E is a power so weak you could at best leviate some chalk or don't need ever need a lighter tier. Anything at S or above is considered Superhuman.

Normal human ranges are F to B.

Rolled 59

>>33920177
Worth noting that highest official ranking for 'allowed' psi rating is C. Anything above that is 'dealt with'. However this is not true.

B ranked ARE used by BLACK operations and programs. Officially however they do not exist as in are supposedly killed. Even with their best efforts they have been unable to properly 'tame' anything A or above. Thus B rank is limit of ordinary forces to 'control'.

Beware supers however the limits of ordinary humanity mean nothing to such beings or the alien for that matter.

>>33920250
We sorta woke the pirates up.

Stalker units we can produce...about 1k if we exhaust our material reserves they are quite costly to produce requires rarer and more exotic materials. Not cheap.

You ARE off the books operation by the way.

Clan Volker a infamous clan renown for both their insanity and genius. Both of which they are rife with one of the few Super Powers who especially one ridden by MAD have successfully established not only a bloodline but more. Volker Clannars are renowned for their prowess of technology and more importantly being able to properly deal with Supreme Technologies and their insights of the so called superhumans.

Komts a support division of the infamous united forces established even before the Arch War where humanity desperately held off an alien tide. These smarties people supported the personnel who went directly up against the Alien for time immemorial. Their cover was only officially released only when they couldn't be hidden as their cover was so hideously blown. Even now they are the only power backed by all of humanity.

AIM
A research group specializing in bringing AI down to humanity's level. No longer will it the domain of the alien or the superhuman. In that regard their first major breakthrough was the AI Node allowing one to patch in multiple lesser AIs into the same system and help them work together as well as improve performance.

They so impressed humanity with their achievement even Komts respected them. Later they released the upgrade the AI Hive thanks to Komts assistance this time they escaped the problem of one Great AI by instead using a bunch of lesser but connected AI. It was a challenge to develop but they accomplished it suddenly the Alien began to suffer problems when the mighty AI hives rose to challenge their own AIs.

AI Hive despite harsh critics is rumored to be based of alienware involving the infamous 'cluster AI'. the counterpart to their Solo AI this has not been confirmed however.

While costly and seemingly hitting countless dead ends the stuff they do come up with always seems to come out of nowhere.

XCOM is basically aliens came to earth and now we have to fight a unknown enemy. People die a lot in most peoples games, at first. But thru skill, luck and tactics people slowly make wins for them selves. Improving the troops you have and studying the alien tech to finish off the enemy.

I hope that helped some if not there's the wiki or threads that have been popping up on /tg/ >>33901814

Then theirs the others games were megacorps and mutants get mixed into the back ground. But the latest one, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, is more us right now going to fight the unknown aliens going the same thing as the first. Mixing mech troops, Bio mods and a few other things.

Wholesome Horrors
Driven off to these far reaches against your will and finally you have a home. A place to focus on that of which others rejected for. Now to truly understand the horrors that others reject.

Fallen Sentries of Aszi
A base that went dark as something went wrong...eventually they did wake up but corruptions were rife everywhere. Something has come out...and warped everything wrongly. Now they wake up...

Forbidden City #2541765

At first it was only a few who came...but somehow those fews attracted others and so on. Somehow it attracted, it renewed, and it grew. Thus this city is no longer of ruin but of a proper city once more at least in parts of it anyway.

Fleet Yersha
An older fleet of so called colonists who stuck to their ships instead of land. Here they came to realize that...well the new guys could use assistance and they realized they knew what it was like. Because of that..and their ships they could offer what they needed.

Cormera
Once a disastrous complex they broke it down not on their own will no but of war. However they survived rebuilt and started anew. Now they have felt what was all to offer against them and they survived to rise above.

Trusty Township
Sometimes a colony is no long quite the same as it becomes 'civilized' some love it and others miss the old. Those who miss the old often decide to strike off on their once more extending the reach of humanity with veterans who know how its done.

"You three (rogue, captain, psychic) are not like these guys.

You're not nobody's who nobody will care for, you're notorious figures with hefty bounties on your heads.

Now, what we don't want is bounty hunters or people coming after us because of you.

What we also don't want is for you to try anything and we both wreck ourselves in the ensuing fight.

Surely, we can reach an agreement of some sort? "

... But a way to help buff up our fluff. Which I think we did any ways. Is, Like XCOM, we got a group of like minded people together with the goal of wreaking the aliens you have hurt our people. The thinkers could be from a planet hit first, or something, but thru their skills with tech pushed them off. The X people could be people that wish to help in this fight after defining their planet. The reason they joined was their government wasn't ready to attack be we were. Bots well their bots, unless you want them to be something like bots who's AI core was killed by aliens! Now they wait to be awaken once more to get payback. Cultist are the unknown to me they could be allies or worshipers of them from the awe inspired fear the aliens put into them. Maybe even more along the lines of they pushed alien upgrades to far and modded them selves.

Meta kin
When so called enhancements go a little too far it creeps out the majority of humanity. Perhaps they are lesser beings who can't see the truth or perhaps your just that fucked up.

Borged
Augmentation can go only to far before it creeps everyone else out but sometimes you do still care about being 'human' unlike those meta bastards and aren't fuck ups like the mutants.

Clustered Research Complex #37105
What happens when you stick a bunch of cluster and AI Hives into a facility then watch?

Complex Core #125
An AI wakes up and finds itself lonely...so it makes some help and wonders about things. Like who created it and holy shit that is fucked up.

Ancient Bots of Aperi Prime
sometimes it ain't human that wakes up or perhaps it was made by them but long forgotten. Either way its been a long ass time and its time to do things once more. As soon as you figure out what the hell happened.

and shortly the Brood ancestors shall be revealed. Need to take a breather though first.

>>33923097
>"As for agreements...what do you offer?"
"That's what we're attempting to figure out here.

Killing you is wasteful, and impractical.

Selling you for bounties is also impractical for reasons I'm sure you all can imagine for yourselves.

Letting you go would be the safest option, so long as you can keep your traps hushed. But that would also be a waste of opportunity.

But you know, if the others have bounties I suppose having a few more won't hurt if we're already bleeding bounties.

being off book makes you little better then pirates in the deeper set worlds. Out in the fringes as long as you don't act like a pirate people tend not to care.

On book you can get much easier access to certain items however you will lose whatever anonymity that you got.

Off book means off the radar but tougher time acquiring certain things.

Seriously though why does EVERYONE focus on the bloody so called magic railguns? Give this bitch a break already. I have always had a method to my madness, bullshitting prowess, and will admit if its my bad. Shit I even give bonuses for it at times to help make up for my mistakes.

Rolled 29

Trick with plasma in ship combat is that while they do have shit range they utterly fuck ships up and chew through their shields like a hot knife through butter. Plus its not about penetration for plasma but rather maximum carnage.

Problem is distance but when your close you sure as hell don't want to eat plasma. Its like the shotgun of the space combat. Can and will fuck shit up in close quarters. However good armor and shields can curb the damage...to a degree. More like shotgun blast from hell then just an ordinary shotgun shot.

Humanity's weapons are the following in this setting in terms of most used/common/important.

torpedoes,Gauss, carriers, laser and plasma.

Aliens however do have other weapon choices.

>>33927614
Of course its awesome its a genie's realm weapon after all. Best part of all it can potentially be legit and looks AWESOME. Especially considering there is no sound in space.

>>33927732
Once our mining operation bears some fruit, we will take it to a civilized world and trade. I would spend the resources on the mining op, and make plasma weapons a bit later :3

Plasma is expensive and Gauss has only JUST reached started reaching Tank size due to power constraints and costly minis. Its highly experimental right now the tank sized weapons.

Don't mean it don't exist as handheld but its firm BLACK tier tech. Super sponsors however have been known to be using them on regular and aliens have been sighted using Gauss weapons on occasion mostly forms of coil gun which they basically use as a flack cannon on crack. Their proper railguns are more seen among their heavier weapons or specialty items.

>>33927787
Carries by the way don't use piloted fighters or bombers instead they are replaced with drones as i said before. If you want details read last thread i shared stuff regarding space combat.

And I DO keep it somewhat realistic.

Humanity's fondest weapons in space combat are Gauss and Lasers. Carriers along with torpedo tech is something they brought up with them and plasma is a recent but devastating development.

At the moment means of bringing down the size of plasma weapons, energy costs, and increasing range are the biggest things of interest for improvements. THere HAS been a breakthrough though and it has led to plasma tech reaching planet side.

Game time wise this has occured after Arch Wars and before the rise of Brood.

Ship repairs have finished up except for the cruiser and alien vessel.

The best of human tech btw is kept in the core worlds or along the warfronts. If you wish to acquire said tech caravans will often come through and in exchange for stuff like resources will allow you to purchase tech, infrastructure, and more.

This allows the core worlds to suck up colonial resources for cheap while slowly bringing them back up. A bit fucked up but effective as is insures only the 'best' colonies survive to become Core or even an major world.

Life is quite cheap and they would rather NOT risk their real valuable stuff in places where it can easily be taken/not heavily protected.

As a nomad vessel you don't really have this option and unlike the registered ship caravans can't just do as they do.

Sticking you in a tight spot that you are trying to compensate for by jacking alien tech. Which is easy so long as its quite similar to human based stock...problem is when its not.

Alien mindset +alien tech=pure misery.
While alien minset+familiar tech=interesting insight.

>>33928271
Black tech is equivalent to experimental...if your LUCKY.

Its the realm of the forbidden due to how insanely hard it is and often dangerous as well. Its the realm of eldritch alien and Mad Supergenius weirdness.

It is the dark facet of Supreme Technology. A place where the ordinary human can only desperately try to reach and fail.

Simply put it doesn't exist and is consider too...something to allow even attempted reverse engineering. More then one planet or hell even solar systems have bit the dust or worst due to Black Tech tampering.

Messing with Super Technology or even the Alien is one thing but that of which is blacklisted is a whole nother.

We aint got cash yet, no need to miss taxes and get cranky johnny law on our ass auditing the ship and finding pirates

>>33930132
Plus our homie MAL wouldn't be happy about it. We would also loss a nice hiding spot.

Guess I have do dice too.. Silly me.

>>33931084
Fancy stick anon must be out on a hot date with delim

>>33931003
Last post for me before sleep. I like this action >>33929329. But I can see us not finding any thing, even with the 96 rolled. Probably would be best to scout/explore for more stops to gather stuff from and/or a planet to colonize. Maybe make it legit for starting. But only it, MAL's base is left alone. We will need the resources for us.

>>33931084
I would suck a dick to have a civ with both smart anon and silver tongue back at the same time for 1 civ.

We almost last post. If one can date while a sleep. Hot slumber best date.

>>33931084
If I don't get some action soon, I'm going to write an extremely descriptive smutty fan fic about delim handling anon's fancy stick, if you catch my drift....it's on you genie. Don't make me do this.

Here how about this.
>>>>>>>F. Explore in a direction/something.
Explore for resources and planets to colonize. Make use of the stalker's stealth. Double up if MAL can help.

(Not so glad I check it while trying to sleep.)

>Basic 1
Burn 3 supplies to help AI Mal in setting up the mine.

>Basic 2
Go out looking for somewhere to purchase or loot mining equipment from.

Also tell the Psychic guy that it's pretty creepy that he can psionically coordinate the whole pirate crew. He knows how to keep that shit undetected when we need to go under the radar, right?

Stalkers may be stealthy, but our fuckhuge mothership and small fleet isn't. If you want to go about stealthily scouting then send Mal's Ghost Ship with our Stalkers, but don't expect it to cover much ground.

If we get our reverse engineering bay built though, then we ought to be able to reverse engineer those stealth-shields and then build/update some of our ships with them so that more ground could be covered.

Also we should get our cultists to consult with our scientists to see if they can eek any more secrets out of the Alien Destroyer. They've got "Alien Lore" so they'd probably be helpful.

>>33932923
It is actually built already >>33928028 but from what I infer from Genie it can be upgraded.

The issue now is we can't really help with the mine, upgrade our bay, or do research without resources or beter yet materials without using up our suppplies

>>33934145

What's the worry with using up our supplies? We have far more options for getting them in this civ than in the post-apoc ones. We can scavenge, loot, or purchase them. It's kind of rocking my world that we can actually...buy things, like with currency.

>>33934183
I suppose this is true. I would like to focus on the mine though because getting that done sooner than later gives us far more resources in the future. It's our renewable resource.

>>33934183
>It's kind of rocking my world that we can actually...buy things, like with currency.
I know right? It's awesome.

I'm loving how we're a big civ too, it's incredibly exciting.

>>33934757

Of course, it's our meal ticket and we're unlikely to find anything like it again (once it starts producing we should probably operate on a dead-drop system of picking the shit up, don't want other people finding it and stealing it from us.)

But if we set up the mine right now then we waste our tech research bonus that we're receiving, so it's probably best to burn our supplies now on research actions. We can replenish them or acquire mining equipment after the Alien Destroyer is repaired.

>>33934862

And we really, really should let our cultists get in with our think tankers. Their lore ought to get us additional boons, unless we get a nat1 and things go horribly wrong.

>>33934850

Yeah, 18k pop and 10k military (with oddly a total of 50 vehicles among them) on just thread 2. Too bad we don't have any boarding-oriented craft or enough firepower to close in on a space station, I feel like we could seriously overrun some motherfuckers.

>>33934862
Hrm, now what should be our focus on research now that the ship is still being repaired?

>>33935504

Well if we decide to integrate our scientists and cultists temporarily then they should focus on trying to unlock another one of those technologies from the list we were provided.

Otherwise i'd advise figuring out Mal's stealth shields or some other advanced technology we'd want to revetse-engineer so we could produce it ourselves (even if it's just the stocks of weapons and armor that we have, seeing as a good chunk of our troops have only the most rudimentary of armaments).

>>33935798

But take my advice with a grain of salt because i've been up all night. The theory behind looking into one of the listed technologies is that the cultists' lore and the scientists expertise and our boon to research will interact...and we know that (theoretically) all the listed technologies were present in the ship, so it follows (right?) That we should be able to maybe get one if we put forth the extra effort.

Alternately we just let the cultists go over the ship on their own looking for interesting shit. My score some sort of AI node for our bots or a nifty comm system like that.

On that note

>Basic 1 (Synchro)
Have our Cultists consult with our Think Tankers that are studying/repairing the alien ship. Their lore might be of use. See if we can get any additional technologies from the ship or if there are some we didn't previously notice.

I'll vote.

I'm leery of syncrho though, even if we can use it every turn, it's just a matter of time before syncrho nat1 and then we're in deep shit

Rolled 22

>>33936820

Yes, but I think that Genie gave it to us because we're nomads so acquiring extra basic actions is going to be difficult to impossible.

Rolled 61

>>33936885

Which means we're going to have to invest into creating training and factory and lab and etc. facilities, so that we acquire free actions related to those.

>>33936955
As well as population increasing methods/recruitment of course. I'm guessing that, starting population being 10k, more basic actions would come at increments of 10k? Not sure, but for Memor planetary large civs who started with 1500 the increment was 1000, while all the following small civs had increments of 500, with the first basic action at 500 regardless of starting pop.

Rolled 90

>>33937004

Yeah, but Genie reworked the action system, remember? So now it's based on sphere of influence and shit. So for us it'll probably be based on fleet size rather than pop.
