Turn 10 Strategy Phase: Planetary Technate

We've lost control of F. Our enemy does, however, flee before the awesome power of the Speed 3 cruisers we're now deploying. Or at least they fled because of our numbers of big ships. Either way, success! Of course, the ground war is still badly against us on F but we've got some reinforcements ready so that might help.

----
Sorry for the delay here and the mistake in the BR. I'm honestly not even going to bother promising better for this because what with more work and less motivation for this update speed is probably going to remain uncomfortably slow.

Planetary Contents:
1 & 2: Earthlike planets just as you’d expect. Take your opponent’s homeworld to win, lose yours and you die.
A: Riddled with caves and with a mineral-rich crust, this airless world is ideal for the production of spacecraft components. 1 GPP, 3 SPP.
B: A volcanic world with a caustic atmosphere and lava flows on the surface, B is full of minerals that can be easily acquired…if you can deal with the, quite literal, heat. 3 GPP, 1 SPP.
C: Icy, barren, rather flat in most regions. It has rather a lot of those things humans need to live sitting on and under its airless surface. 3 GPP, 3 SPP.
D: A surface-wide ocean is the defining trait of this planet, providing an interesting combat environment and also plenty of interesting life forms that can be studied….if you can build a big enough boat to catch one, anyway. 4 GPP, 2 SPP.
E: Another Earthlike planet, ideal for habitation….or, y’know, fighting a good old fashioned war over! 4 GPP, 4 SPP.
F: A world of highlands and mountains, the lower parts of the planet are filled with most of the planet's already scarce water. However, the mountainous regions have high mineral contents and plenty of good spacecraft launch sites above the majority of the atmosphere. 2 GPP, 4 SPP.
G: Deserts cover the surface of this planet. Deserts made, in fact, of a curious sand with abnormally high metal and mineral contents. It has an atmosphere that serves to stir up the sands into occasional sandstorms. 3 GPP, 3 SPP.
H: An airless, small rock in space, H is heavily cratered and not a great place to live. Good place to build spacecraft, though. 1 GPP, 3 SPP + 2.
I: A world covered in wide stretches of windswept terrain covered in something that we’re going to call grass, I is ideal for large-scale industrial activity. Nobody cares if you do irreparable damage to a huge tract of grasslands here, after all, there are a hundred more huge tracts of pristine grasslands you haven’t ruined yet. 3 GPP, 1 SPP.

Ships
ITC (Interplanetary Transport Craft): A less-than-stellar spacecraft, the ITC is a version of the ships landed on your planet when you first colonized it. It is prone to malfunction, slow, and generally unpleasant. The rocket shuttles used to get equipment from the ITC to the ground have a limited capacity, meaning that with the exception of troops and things that can be broken into much smaller parts, the ITC cannot carry any equipment of a size greater than 1TC. It has 4TC capacity in total and uses chemical engines for propulsion. It has no armor or armaments. Now improved, the modernized ITC is Speed 2, uses OKSPD engines and an AER reactor, is no longer prone to malfunctions of most sorts, is fairly durable though still unarmored, and still uses 1-TC rocket shuttles. Slightly smaller and harder to hit and also follows your nation's chosen philosophy for appearances...whatever that is. Has one Oculus laser mount for self defense.
Cost: 2 SPP
Capacity: 4 TC

Chord MSFSC: A capable, though oversized, ship carrying 3 Oculus lasers in good spots and 1 in a poor spot, if we really want to for some reason. Its Medium armor makes it very survivable, but that and its Evrasium use give it a high cost for its size.
Cost: 3 SPP

Degree Missile Support Corvette: A heavily-built "light" missile vessel meant to support the Chord. Almost slower than the Chord and less able to turn, but can accelerate in any direction and has two slow-firing RAKE missile launchers with decent ammunition stockpiles. Very expensive for its size. A light missile vessel meant to support the Chord but with the same ship type/role/size designator (both are "corvettes"), the Degree carries a couple dozen missiles and a pair of slow-firing missile launchers. Turning is still rather sluggish but the ship itself is lightly built and agile on a small OKSPD. Sensors and everything else are equivalent to the Chord at present.
Cost: 3 SPP 2 SPP

Amalogus Carrier: A heavily armored transport with extreme durability, decent maneuverability, and 3-TC shuttles. It is reliant on its shuttles for primary propulsion, but is nearly indestructible given current methods. Armament is present on each shuttle, a single Oculus laser. This adds up to quite a formidable armament on a fully loaded Amalogus.
Cost: 6 SPP
Capacity: 4 TC

Bebop-Class Assault Cruiser: 13 HELEX/Oculus lasers. 4 oversized OKSPD engines. Light composite armor and reinforced structure. CEASEFIRE and FROGI integration. The Bebop is far more maneuverable than its size suggests it should be, and is even capable of outrunning Chords in a straight line. Maneuverability between the two is no contest, the Bebop being capable of turning on a dime or accelerating in a new direction almost instantly. It's durable, and has the firepower to melt the enemy's Logos warships and ITCs. Time will tell how it will do against the Peitho.
Cost: 9 SPP

Starfire Direct Fusion Drive: A huge revamp to a Bebop cruiser that basically replaces the entire after section with a truly massive fusion drive assembly and even had to ramp up reactor power beyond previous limits in order to power it. Loses a full five Oculus lasers compared to a standard Bebop and is massively more expensive, but it is undeniably the fastest ship around.
Cost: 12 SPP

Interstellar Transport Vessel: An ITC but faster, an Amalogous but not terrible....wait no it has nothing in common with that. Anyway, the ITV is a Speed 3 transport craft that carries just as much as a basic ITC. Its fusion drive and light armor make it much more expensive than the ITC, but much more capable. Though it does use the basic ITC's rocket shuttles. For an additional cost (+2 SPP) it can instead take the armed 3TC shuttles from the AC.
Cost: 4 SPP (or 6 with fancier shuttles)
Capacity: 4 TC

Bebop Starfire Direct Fusion Drive: A huge revamp to a Bebop cruiser that basically replaces the entire after section with a truly massive fusion drive assembly. Removes two OKSPD engine assemblies and their associated costs, re-added lasers to have the full 13 lasers of the original Bebop.
Cost: 10 SPP

Units
Basic Military Unit: (you may rename this if you so wish) A capable group of soldiers trained to operate any equipment you can give them. Field training allows them to keep up to date on the best way to operate the newest deathtraps and self-destructing gizmos you send them even after they’re deployed.
Cost: 2GPP

Ground Weapons
Plastic Universal Machine Pistol: A 30-round magazine Plastic Pistol-shaped machine pistol with a forwards handgrip and generally good qualities as opposed to bad. Issued to all troops for use in close quarters where SIAERA is useless.
Cost: Cheap

Squad-Integrated All-Environment Rocket Armaments: A 20mm guided rocket launcher. Guidance works OK, rockets work OK. Terrible in close quarters, low damage at Short range, lethal and lightly guided at Medium range, lightly armor piercing (if minimally guided) at Long range, otherwise moderately guided at Long range. Now improved with HE and/or armor-penetrating cores, allowing for consistent damage across all ranges or additional armor-piercing effect at Long range. Field units may have [Outdated] versions.
Cost: 1 GPP

Basic All-purpose Munitions: A solidly mediocre grenade. It explodes OKish, it detonates OKish, the tripwire's usefulness is OKish. Also sensitive to really sharp shocks like vehicle crashes, so try to avoid those.
Cost: 1 GPP

High-Velocity Ordinance Caseless Machine Gun: It's a reasonably lightweight caseless .50 caliber machinegun that does lots of damage and shoots lots of bullets fast. Easy to ship as it's not that big.
Cost: 2 GPP

Infantry Equipment
Basic Space Suit: A civilian space suit, totally unarmored and cumbersome to walk in. At least it works well enough, and has a self-sealing lining meaning a single shot isn't an immediate death sentence... most of the time. Necessary for deployment to worlds without breathable atmospheres.
Cost: Cheap

Combat EVA Suit: A ballistics-resistant well protected and maneuverable and relatively light EVA suit.
Cost: 1 GPP

Ground Vehicles
ADF "Slaughterfield" Interceptor-Fighter: A capable, though very heavy, combination of space and surface fighter with a single Oculus and four hardpoints. At present it uses drop tanks supplying the Oculus with more chemical ammunition, making it almost physically impossible to run out of ammunition. Prone to wing structural failures. Highly angular and imposing but not radar-stealthed as originally intended. Requires no shuttles to descend from orbit. Faster and more maneuverable in space, slightly cheaper, a little more dependent on atmosphere for surface operations, and extremely sturdy in combat conditions.
Cost: 5 4 GPP
Size: 4 TC

Spacecraft Components
Oculus Hardpoint-Mountable Chemical Laser: A reasonable red-wavelength laser ball turret with an attached extra sensor component, a direct connection to the ship's laser chemical reservoir, and a generally decent capabilities list. Requires a spacecraft to mount.

Overhauled Kinetic Storage Power Drive: An effective Speed 2 drive. Makes physicists cry to Newton, who is powerless to help them. Fairly expensive due to consumption of Evrasium.

Rocket-Assisted Kinetic-Evrasium Missile (RAKE Missile): A basic missile that is uses Evrasium disintegration to deal damage behind an enemy's armor protection. Slow, less than maneuverable, and easy to hit at best. Thanks to the SPAD upgrade package, RAKE missiles are now of average speed and maneuverability, making them much more capable. Cost was not increased.

Iterative Recursive - He3 “QueBit” Evrasium Fusion Warheads: An innovative means to replace RAKE missile warheads with a fusion warhead, entirely ignoring RAKE's use as an antiarmor weapon by attempting to just vaporize ALL OF THE ARMOR. This does not really work, requires a LOT of Evrasium, and hasn't been mounted to a missile. It is a valuable experiment in the needs and possibilities of Evrasium-based fusion.
Cost: A lot, but we aren't paying for anything but experiments now so don't worry, it's just coming out of your paychecks.

High Energy Laser Excalibration (HELEX): A set of improvements to the Oculus that give it much-needed additional range and power and bring it up to par as a solid combat weapon instead of the rather anemic laser it was previously. Slightly increased power draw, no change to cost.

Other
Command Radio: Essentially just a very big radio set, capable of reliable communication between planets, ships, and/or other planets. Currently only useful for taunting your enemy. The transmitter dish comes in a single piece and cannot fit in an ITC shuttle.
Cost: 2GPP
Weight: 1TC (requires 2 shuttle TC)

Fast Reactionary Oculus Gunnery Implants: A cybernetic system that is very invasive and damages the user's skull in exchange for giving them a specialized and very capable interface specifically for use aboard warships or in gunner's positions on Slaughterfields. Improves accuracy particularly at close ranges and makes human gunners much more capable. Limited feedback, reasonably fast data transfer to the computer.
Cost: Free!

Calculation Engineered Advanced Shot Entrapment Fire Interception Ram Engine: One of the absolutely WORST backronyms that this abused records-keeper has ever had the misfortune to lay his eyes on, CEASEFIRE is a serious upgrade to the Amalogous Carriers' targeting and target tracking abilities that allow them to direct seriously accurate, coordinated laser fire on specific portions of a given ship even as said ship escapes the arcs of individual turrets.
Cost: Free!

Infrastructure
Colony Defense Grid The reason you can't instantly invade the enemy homeworld. A series of surface-to-orbit missile launchers, the only real concession to defense the planners of the colony made. How they work is a mystery now, and no one wants to risk taking them apart to find out.

Aggravated Evrasium Reactor: Using the remarkable properties of Evrasium, this device extracts kinetic energy by shining laser light on a crystal matrix, which then punches the crap out of a set of turbines, generating power.
Provides: 2 SPP and 2 GPP

Evrasium Production Industrial Center: A huge mining and industrial complex geared only towards extracting Evrasium. A very impressive industrial project, for sure, but it has a myriad of issues that will need to be resolved before it becomes a truly practical object. Rampant corruption formerly crippled the project, but thanks to BITCOIN the corruption has been beaten down. The limitations on just how much Evrasium there is underneath the particular mining site chosen for EPIC is still a limitation, but now EPIC actually does things.
Provides: + 5 GPP

Mineral Appraisal & Transport System: A mediocre effort to extract valuable materials from EPIC's castoff material AND secure the shipment problem, it accomplishes neither.
Provides: A lot of disappointment, inroads on the path to reclaiming EPIC castoff material.

Global Organised Logistical Development - Currency Overhaul INitiative (GOLDCOIN): An attempt to restructure our entire society's economic system that very nearly crashed the economy completely. It has provided us with the beginnings of an algorithm that should protect EPIC from future corruption.
Cost: Measuring costs requires a functioning economy, please check back later.
Provides: 2 SPP

Starfire Power Plant: A mediocre fusion generator. About as powerful as the AER system and uses only a bit less Evrasium. With work it could supplant the AER systems and free up more resources for the war effort but as of now it just isn't good enough. Improvements via the Bebop Assault Cruiser have made the Starfire an actually functional device that is meaningfully more cost- and size-efficient than the AER. Directed research into this area might provide more advancements.
Provides: 1 SPP

Zinariya's Harvest Mining Station: An effort to provide the airless, cratered surface of Planet H with all the bits of settlement necessary to extract additional spacecraft-useful materials and process them for shipment to the homeworld. It is not a complete success but it is far from a failure and with more effort it could easily be expanded and improved to provide a serious bonus to our efforts. Improvements to the structures being deployed to the surface have doubled the productivity of the stations.
Provides: 2 additional SPP to Planet H.

Such is life.

Due to losing those resources, we need GPP and SPP this turn so we don't get them decommissioned. Less so GPP, but we can't design anything without being able to pay for it. And sending another load of troops out is something we can try and do once our ITV returns.

Revisions are likely to be for old stuff that could use fixing, our fixing up one of the designs. Either way, this turns objective is clear, take back F.

Itacen's Agricultural Revolution

Planet Itacen-Rai is full of vast fertile lands waiting to be developed into the breadbasket of the Planetary Technate, with an undoubtable number of fruits and plants waiting to be discovered and developed. A proposal has been made to turn the vast tracks of land to producing crops suited for consumption. With towns being built to support this vast farming revolution and people likely to flock to the frontier, it will free up our food production for the creation of the plastics our ground forces need. Not to mention put food on the table.

To note, Itacen-rai means 'The Tree of Life'. Itacen The Tree. Much as Zinariya means Gold. For a place so vibrant, it's a good name.


Zinariya's Overhaul Mining Initiatives

A serious of initiatives for the production of self-contained facilities and quality assurance of the prefab models. Followed by a vast expansion of the previous facilities to cover multiple spots determined by seismographs to have a large quantity of needed metals. Zinariya should in time become the premier facility for the extraction of rare ores, including gold, platinum, and gemstones. For now however, we feed the war effort with the far more common ores needed for spaceship production.

Coldsteel Limited's M1 Caseless Assault Rifle "Spatha"

Our ability to deal with the enemy at medium range is still somewhat lacking, forcing the development of a new weapon specifically for medium range combat.
Enter the Spatha, a bullpup assault rifle chambered in 6.8×49 mm High B/C, square-shaped, Telescoped, caseless "rounds" (some employees recommended calling them "Squounds", they no longer work at Coldsteel, or anywhere else), with a 50cm long barrel.
Extra attention has been paid to ensuring the caseless rounds are sturdy. Meaning one just has to rack open the slide to dump out dud rounds. The problem of overheating was dealt with by pumping coolant around the chamber and a disposable heatsink, with an easy refill system allowing it to be refilled in the field.
As for mag capacity, it comes with 30rnd mags and 60rnd extended mags, both doublestack.
Now all that sounds great, but you're probably thinking "what about the optic? Well we've teamed up with AG Industries to make a military-grade Low Power Variable Optic Sight in the 1-4x range, more than enough for medium range standoffs, and the backup iron sights aren't too shabby. Now as for the more miscellaneous attachments we have an under barrel launcher that fires a dumb HE SIAERA rocket (not included in base model), a bayonet (for morale purposes), and a flash supressor.

While grasslands are not the most...appealing of environments, they do actually make decent enough farmland for sturdy crops. While food crops have never been great at becoming plastics they are still a valuable thing to have since everybody must have food, including such people as your soldiers. The biodiversity of the planet is pretty lacking but as far as your scientists and farmers are concerned, that just means there's nothing here to ruin with massive bioengineering efforts! Huge tracts of grasslands have been plowed, irrigated, and fertilized to within an inch of their lives and are now full of plants very much not native to the planet. The few people who have complained are pretty irrelevant since they don't know what "there's half a million other square kilometers identical to this one that we want to use on this planet" means. Besides, our nation, our planet are at stake! Surely they can't expect us to not use whatever we must?

The immense food production on I have resulted in a first for us, a large self-sufficient colony on the surface of the planet. The farmland freed up on the homeworld, in addition to the labor force now present on I, have made possible large-scale efforts to produce a little bit more of everything, particularly stuff an army might need.

Anyway, the spots of color on the otherwise impressively monochromatic surface of I are noticeable even from orbit, and this beacon of progress attracts the attention of many who would wish to see us spread such wealth over all the planets of the system, preventing the despicable robots from covering it in metal or whatever their diabolical plan must be. It also attracts flies, apparently. Who authorized those for import?!

Itacen's Agricultural Revolution: An impressively capable farming effort on the surface of planet I that has produced remarkable returns. It feeds a colony on I's surface that helps produce many materials necessary for the war effort.

We're already wresting quite a large amount of general stuff from the surface of H. While there is some room to grow, it might be easier to start with the low-hanging fruit present on other worlds than to continue to chase ever more efficient and complicated processes here. Regardless, more prefab-factories and housing units, along with some higher-quality surveys from the established settlements, have been combined to make use of underexploited deposits on the surface of this rock. Completed spacecraft components leave the planet on a nearly daily basis and the materials shipped off-world fuel industry in orbit of the homeworld.

Zinariya's Harvest Mining Station: An effort to provide the airless, cratered surface of Planet H with all the bits of settlement necessary to extract additional spacecraft-useful materials and process them for shipment to the homeworld. Improvements to the structures being deployed to the surface have doubled the productivity of the stations. Ever more effort has pushed development on this airless rock ever further, but we may very well be reaching the end of what we can accomplish here in a short span of time in the middle of a war.
Provides: 3 additional SPP to Planet H.

The Bebop is far more maneuverable than its size suggests it should be, and is even capable of outrunning Chords in a straight line. Maneuverability between the two is no contest, the Bebop being capable of turning on a dime or accelerating in a new direction almost instantly. It's durable, and has the firepower to melt the enemy's Logos warships and ITCs. Time will tell how it will do against the Peitho.
Cost: 9 SPP

Starfire Direct Fusion Drive: A huge revamp to a Bebop cruiser that basically replaces the entire after section with a truly massive fusion drive assembly and even had to ramp up reactor power beyond previous limits in order to power it. Loses a full five Oculus lasers compared to a standard Bebop and is massively more expensive, but it is undeniably the fastest ship around.
Cost: 12 SPP

Interstellar Transport Vessel: An ITC but faster, an Amalogous but not terrible....wait no it has nothing in common with that. Anyway, the ITV is a Speed 3 transport craft that carries just as much as a basic ITC. Its fusion drive and light armor make it much more expensive than the ITC, but much more capable. Though it does use the basic ITC's rocket shuttles. For an additional cost (+2 SPP) it can instead take the armed 3TC shuttles from the AC.
Cost: 4 SPP (or 6 with fancier shuttles)
Capacity: 4 TC

Bebop Starfire Direct Fusion Drive: A huge revamp to a Bebop cruiser that basically replaces the entire after section with a truly massive fusion drive assembly. Removes two OKSPD engine assemblies and their associated costs, re-added lasers to have the full 13 lasers of the original Bebop.
Cost: 10 SPP

Units
Basic Military Unit: (you may rename this if you so wish) A capable group of soldiers trained to operate any equipment you can give them. Field training allows them to keep up to date on the best way to operate the newest deathtraps and self-destructing gizmos you send them even after they’re deployed.
Cost: 2GPP

Ground Weapons
Plastic Universal Machine Pistol: A 30-round magazine Plastic Pistol-shaped machine pistol with a forwards handgrip and generally good qualities as opposed to bad. Issued to all troops for use in close quarters where SIAERA is useless.
Cost: Cheap

Squad-Integrated All-Environment Rocket Armaments: A 20mm guided rocket launcher. Guidance works OK, rockets work OK. Terrible in close quarters, low damage at Short range, lethal and lightly guided at Medium range, lightly armor piercing (if minimally guided) at Long range, otherwise moderately guided at Long range. Now improved with HE and/or armor-penetrating cores, allowing for consistent damage across all ranges or additional armor-piercing effect at Long range. Field units may have [Outdated] versions.
Cost: 1 GPP

Basic All-purpose Munitions: A solidly mediocre grenade. It explodes OKish, it detonates OKish, the tripwire's usefulness is OKish. Also sensitive to really sharp shocks like vehicle crashes, so try to avoid those.
Cost: 1 GPP

High-Velocity Ordinance Caseless Machine Gun: It's a reasonably lightweight caseless .50 caliber machinegun that does lots of damage and shoots lots of bullets fast. Easy to ship as it's not that big.
Cost: 2 GPP

Infantry Equipment
Basic Space Suit: A civilian space suit, totally unarmored and cumbersome to walk in. At least it works well enough, and has a self-sealing lining meaning a single shot isn't an immediate death sentence... most of the time. Necessary for deployment to worlds without breathable atmospheres.
Cost: Cheap

Combat EVA Suit: A ballistics-resistant well protected and maneuverable and relatively light EVA suit.
Cost: 1 GPP

Ground Vehicles
ADF "Slaughterfield" Interceptor-Fighter: A capable, though very heavy, combination of space and surface fighter with a single Oculus and four hardpoints. At present it uses drop tanks supplying the Oculus with more chemical ammunition, making it almost physically impossible to run out of ammunition. Prone to wing structural failures. Highly angular and imposing but not radar-stealthed as originally intended. Requires no shuttles to descend from orbit. Faster and more maneuverable in space, slightly cheaper, a little more dependent on atmosphere for surface operations, and extremely sturdy in combat conditions.
Cost: 5 4 GPP
Size: 4 TC

Spacecraft Components
Oculus Hardpoint-Mountable Chemical Laser: A reasonable red-wavelength laser ball turret with an attached extra sensor component, a direct connection to the ship's laser chemical reservoir, and a generally decent capabilities list. Requires a spacecraft to mount.

Overhauled Kinetic Storage Power Drive: An effective Speed 2 drive. Makes physicists cry to Newton, who is powerless to help them. Fairly expensive due to consumption of Evrasium.

Rocket-Assisted Kinetic-Evrasium Missile (RAKE Missile): A basic missile that is uses Evrasium disintegration to deal damage behind an enemy's armor protection. Slow, less than maneuverable, and easy to hit at best. Thanks to the SPAD upgrade package, RAKE missiles are now of average speed and maneuverability, making them much more capable. Cost was not increased.

Iterative Recursive - He3 “QueBit” Evrasium Fusion Warheads: An innovative means to replace RAKE missile warheads with a fusion warhead, entirely ignoring RAKE's use as an antiarmor weapon by attempting to just vaporize ALL OF THE ARMOR. This does not really work, requires a LOT of Evrasium, and hasn't been mounted to a missile. It is a valuable experiment in the needs and possibilities of Evrasium-based fusion.
Cost: A lot, but we aren't paying for anything but experiments now so don't worry, it's just coming out of your paychecks.

High Energy Laser Excalibration (HELEX): A set of improvements to the Oculus that give it much-needed additional range and power and bring it up to par as a solid combat weapon instead of the rather anemic laser it was previously. Slightly increased power draw, no change to cost.

Other
Command Radio: Essentially just a very big radio set, capable of reliable communication between planets, ships, and/or other planets. Currently only useful for taunting your enemy. The transmitter dish comes in a single piece and cannot fit in an ITC shuttle.
Cost: 2GPP
Weight: 1TC (requires 2 shuttle TC)

Fast Reactionary Oculus Gunnery Implants: A cybernetic system that is very invasive and damages the user's skull in exchange for giving them a specialized and very capable interface specifically for use aboard warships or in gunner's positions on Slaughterfields. Improves accuracy particularly at close ranges and makes human gunners much more capable. Limited feedback, reasonably fast data transfer to the computer.
Cost: Free!

Calculation Engineered Advanced Shot Entrapment Fire Interception Ram Engine: One of the absolutely WORST backronyms that this abused records-keeper has ever had the misfortune to lay his eyes on, CEASEFIRE is a serious upgrade to the Amalogous Carriers' targeting and target tracking abilities that allow them to direct seriously accurate, coordinated laser fire on specific portions of a given ship even as said ship escapes the arcs of individual turrets.
Cost: Free!

Infrastructure
Colony Defense Grid The reason you can't instantly invade the enemy homeworld. A series of surface-to-orbit missile launchers, the only real concession to defense the planners of the colony made. How they work is a mystery now, and no one wants to risk taking them apart to find out.

Aggravated Evrasium Reactor: Using the remarkable properties of Evrasium, this device extracts kinetic energy by shining laser light on a crystal matrix, which then punches the crap out of a set of turbines, generating power.
Provides: 2 SPP and 2 GPP

Evrasium Production Industrial Center: A huge mining and industrial complex geared only towards extracting Evrasium. A very impressive industrial project, for sure, but it has a myriad of issues that will need to be resolved before it becomes a truly practical object. Rampant corruption formerly crippled the project, but thanks to BITCOIN the corruption has been beaten down. The limitations on just how much Evrasium there is underneath the particular mining site chosen for EPIC is still a limitation, but now EPIC actually does things.
Provides: + 5 GPP

Mineral Appraisal & Transport System: A mediocre effort to extract valuable materials from EPIC's castoff material AND secure the shipment problem, it accomplishes neither.
Provides: A lot of disappointment, inroads on the path to reclaiming EPIC castoff material.

Global Organised Logistical Development - Currency Overhaul INitiative (GOLDCOIN): An attempt to restructure our entire society's economic system that very nearly crashed the economy completely. It has provided us with the beginnings of an algorithm that should protect EPIC from future corruption.
Cost: Measuring costs requires a functioning economy, please check back later.
Provides: 2 SPP

Starfire Power Plant: A mediocre fusion generator. About as powerful as the AER system and uses only a bit less Evrasium. With work it could supplant the AER systems and free up more resources for the war effort but as of now it just isn't good enough. Improvements via the Bebop Assault Cruiser have made the Starfire an actually functional device that is meaningfully more cost- and size-efficient than the AER. Directed research into this area might provide more advancements.
Provides: 1 SPP

Zinariya's Harvest Mining Station: An effort to provide the airless, cratered surface of Planet H with all the bits of settlement necessary to extract additional spacecraft-useful materials and process them for shipment to the homeworld. Improvements to the structures being deployed to the surface have doubled the productivity of the stations. Ever more effort has pushed development on this airless rock ever further, but we may very well be reaching the end of what we can accomplish here in a short span of time in the middle of a war.
Provides: 3 additional SPP to Planet H.

Itacen's Agricultural Revolution: An impressively capable farming effort on the surface of planet I that has produced remarkable returns. It feeds a colony on I's surface that helps produce many materials necessary for the war effort.
Produces: 2 GPP

Interstellar Cargo Vessel

The ICV is a small transport craft with capacity for 1 GPP worth of goods or troops. While not armored, it's speed makes it the best option for both trade use and quick delivery of troops. Based off of the ITV, though stripped down to have a cost comparable to 1/4 of it. 4 ICV do not equal 1 ITV however, the ITV is far better in combat conditions, while the ICV is very much not. It trades this for being cheap enough to be a viable transport option to cut costs. Does not have a fancy shuttle option. Or many of them for that matter.

[Blood_Librarian]

I don't think 1GPP of goods would be viable to carry around considering some of our most highest technology equipment has very large sizes. If anything, I think our next logistics ship should be avery large SSTO that utilize the fusion reactor and ram jets to get into and out of atmospheres.

Combined Operations Secure Engineering Command  (COSEC) Assault Demiurge
COSEC Assault Demiurges are high level tactical designations for troops that are modally equipped with specialized equipment for vacuum operations.  To that end, the are integrally equipped with customized combat EVA hardsuits as well as incorporating high level augmentations for command and control elements that allow for more effective tactical and strategic application of equipped systems in vacuum operations. Although in practice they are also effective on worlds that have trace and thin atmospheres like World C or G.

Fire-Eater Mortar Team Equipment
With the lessons learned from the SIAERA in the ballistic application of explosive ordinance, with the added bonus of utilizing the strategies already developed for the creation of ordinance for the Sierra. it is a heavy piece of kit, with a 80mm bore and large shells that are designed ot be portable by a three man team.

Type-2 "Harrier" Medium Tactical Vehicle
The heaviest, most durable truck was designed by the research teams deep inside our technocratic hellscape. thousands of tests, millions of Evrasium chips and more then a dozen people died in the pursuit of the perfect truck. It was then tossed into the trash, and a venerable pre earth design whose origin was lost to the sands of time was fabricated, and a set of short barreled 130mm artillery pieces were developed and attached to said trucks to create a fire support vehicle for our infantry. These vehicles fire fin-stabilized and guided munitions that are designed to destroy enemy infantry, and the vehicle and weapon system has been designed from the ground up to do this.  The truck can only operate on worlds with oxygen in its atmosphere.

These are good and all. But it's revision phase BL. We kinda need a Balor fix or comparable, cause one of our Bebops can't survive the decommissioning we have to do.

BAM: Stabilized Explosives
The current model of BAM is... well it exists, we may have forgotten it existed for a while, but it exists.
This latest version replaces the unreliable explosive with a more shock resistant type, saving a fortune in transport costs. Furthermore, usage of BITCOIN techniques has also cleared up many of the supply chain issues we originally had, reducing overhead further, and as a nice bonus, made the timers more standardized.
Sandhell colonization efforts
The next step in our planetary exploitation is planet G, now renamed Sandhell. We've mostly taken modules used on Zinariya's Harvest and sandproofed them with only a few unique modules, this naturally means that Sandhell will largely produce SPP.

Structural Improvements, Again

Take.. What number is it now, 5? Anyway, this time around we're focusing on the structure again, so it doesn't break apart during operation. And placing the pipes so they don't cause overheating, and making sure the coolant actually works for operation. And fixing the fact parts of it are open to air, which will hopefully help with cooling. Thankfully we know where to place the thrusters this time, just maybe add some heat vents. (Hopefully it will be combat ready, we need it operational.)
