@Irony

I should have access to detailed information about naval transports, since they should qualify as basic military units.  I'll ask Dev about them.  I expect the answer is "they're much better than air transport, but would need upgrades to be able to deploy anywhere in the world rather than only in limited theaters."  If you can get that sub upgraded to go anywhere, it'd be a great way to estimate the cost of upgrading naval transports.

I'll start work on improved air transport this turn.  I'll... run the numbers soonish, see how much of a loan I can use.

As for K-bit costs, 50 per is the "I don't care what you're gonna do with this, set it on fire and smoke it for all I care" cost.  If you've got a project that makes sense, 30 per would be a very reasonable cost currently, and if you've got something that I really want to see, then "free" is totally a possibility.  Right now, anyway--I don't have much use for the things, but if I do end up fielding K-bit fighters or something, then this may change.

@Naturegirl

While I'm reluctant to house Mad Science projects myself without a substantial use, I would indeed be happy to look at your wasp.  If you send it to me this turn, I can ship it off to whoever buys it, before the deploy turn.  Functionally, they should get their unit at the same time as normal, the only difference would be that I could say how good the unit is.

I'd also like you to specify how many turns you've worked on the wasp, and ideally it'd be nice to know what your actions were during those turns.  If you spent three turns making the wasp tougher, for instance, it'd be very very useful to know how much toughness that added in a functional way.

The below spoiler is a response to Stirk, and is not meant to be hidden information.

You’ll give me a cut of the money from the sale, right?

@Stirk
Please put long, pointless arguments inside spoilers, especially if you're going to quote large blocks of text.  It's easier on everyone since there's less to scroll past.

@Naturegirl
Nevermind, don't send me the wasp.  I checked with Dev, and apparently I can't actually do the whole thing with testing the wasp this turn, and then sending it to Stirk later.  I mean... if you're actually okay with not getting your payment immediately, I could hold it for one turn to see its capabilities, then send it to Stirk next turn and send the payment back to you, but that'll delay it reaching Stirk, and I dunno if he's okay with paying next turn instead.

...Also, I wouldn't give you a cut.  I wouldn't take any of the money, it's all yours.

Oh!  Almost forgot.  Would you like a tank?  I have a couple kinda crappy tanks lying around, I'll totally send you one if you want to do some mad science on it.  Free tank!  Alternatively, I could send you a cut down GAU-8 (google it) instead.

@Irony
Turns out I can use 145 credits credits total, which is kinda actually perfect since you're sending me 150.  I have a pair of processed muscle bits, which I'll happily give you if you need them for something.

Also, I asked about naval transports.  They... do not sound very good.  100 to just buy a slow large ship with two medium spaces, 250 to buy a slow huge with two larges.  Same quality as a transport plane otherwise, which means they're made of paper and can't dodge either.  They... could just have a massive markup from the manufacturing cost, but this doesn't really sound encouraging since they'd still need to be modified to be fast.  I didn't ask about boats that are already fast, so maybe that's not a huge price addition either, but... yeah, naval transports don't sound great.  :(

ACTIONS!

Send H.A. Inc a skin, a muscle, and a guts.  Maybe send them a pair of processed muscle bits too, if they ask nicely.  Receive 150 credits in return.

Start researching an improved transport plane, building on the design I already have.  I want 50% more capacity, and I want it to be able to carry a large unit plus a medium unit, rather than three medium units.  Continue the ongoing research as well.

Construct two new jets, and repair the jet that was damaged. 

Construct a new large hangar to house one new jet, move one tank to the medium hangar, and jam the second tank into a medium workshop, which I just realized counts as a hangar when I'm not using it!  Yay.

Construct a large workshop.

Repair both tanks and the assault fish.

Naturegirl:

Do note that in order to take a tank you need a place to put it, which is currently occupied by your wasp.  So you'd need to deliver it somewhere before you can take a tank.

I think the proposal is that NG would send Waspra to syv, he'd examine it and get information through his military specialization testing grounds, and then pass it along to Stirk.  This would take enough time to prevent it from being used this month, but not next month.  There would be no such restrictions on timing for sending money.  For it to be used this month under Stirk's banner, it would have to go directly to Stirk.

I need 6 muscle bits total to get pw to build me a hive of his wasps, which will sustain and automatically replace one unit of wasps. I'm told not to expect the upkeep to be a low number. I'm processing one muscle this turn, which should give me ~5, so +2 bits would be great. I will of course send you the wasps for analysis.

Also, I asked about naval transports.  They... do not sound very good.  100 to just buy a slow large ship with two medium spaces, 250 to buy a slow huge with two larges.  Same quality as a transport plane otherwise, which means they're made of paper and can't dodge either.  They... could just have a massive markup from the manufacturing cost, but this doesn't really sound encouraging since they'd still need to be modified to be fast.  I didn't ask about boats that are already fast, so maybe that's not a huge price addition either, but... yeah, naval transports don't sound great.  :(
I did ask about fast boats! They're not for sale!

...

I suspect (but obviously can't confirm) that boats scale better sizewise than planes, and since I'm already working on the infrastructure for Huge ones there's some obvious value to me there. But yes, they might just suck and we'll be better off deploying everything we can in planes.

Fast plain transports aren't for sale.  Some fast military boats are.  You can buy a (relatively) small missile boat that qualifies as a fast boat, for instance.  Others might be available.. let me know if you have a specific type of unit you'd like to buy.

Sorry your majesty, I had forgotten that the mad scientist of the lake granted you the holy sword allowing you to be king of all kaiju orgs. It does go a long way to explaining why you keep trying to order everyone else around.

How easy would it be to modify the missile boat into a transport boat?

Depends on how much space you want on it, and if you take the weapons off.  Overall, not that hard, but it'd be a very expensive fast transport boat.

How much are you willing to pay? She is about as armored as a tank and is about my size

I don't know how big you are :V

I can go 300. I can add in a kaiju heart or other parts for trade.
Sounds good. I have edited my action to send her to you, and you can give me the 300 and the Kaiju heart. Thank you

@syvarris The tank sounds good. Thank you

Then let it be so. Transfer 300 moneys and 1 Kaiju Heart to the mad science girl.

Nekobutchers
Genetically enhanced human soldiers with catlike features, including warm fur, a tail for balance, sensitive ears and whiskers for greater awareness, and eyes with good night vision. Internally, their organs are modified for greater trauma resistance, including some redundancy, making them harder to kill outright. Their muscles are greatly enhanced, being both bulkier and more efficient. This lets them deal strong blows with melee weaponry and additionally makes them unreasonably fast and agile, able to move so fast and jump so far they may as well be flying. This is further augmented by a powered exoskeleton armor which helps carry its own weight and has launchable grappling hooks in the arms, legs, and tail allowing for course-correction in midair. For armament they are primarily armed with inhumanly large steel greatswords, and use anti-tank missiles as a sidearm.


Extraversal Research & Development Facility
A facility designed to manufacture "demonic" items and beings by drawing on otherworldly energies. Safety first! Though every precaution will be taken when dealing with potentially dangerous materials, the entire building is able to be securely locked down, and its contents safely dissolved and incinerated. This serves as both a manufacturing facility and a first line of defence from within.

The target for the Kaiju attack this month looks to be the desert city of Chiclayo, Peru.  You are warned that this Kaiju is stronger than the last one, and "Seems to be well armed."

There isn't much specific information as to what support you can expect from the military, but the news broadcasts seem to indicate that there is going to be a lot of militia action.. possibly spurred by your recent succeses against Kaiju.  There are no special awards being granted.
