Construction ships are creating mechs in 226, 178, using a stockpile of metals.
To construct a power plant, alongside create an assisting laser array in the mine to heat up stubborn and sturdy rock, to make it easier for the mine to reach deeper ore veins.
These construction ships are basically flying construction areas, able to utilize multiple sets of arms to assemble both buildings and land units. The first thing that half of the construction ships will do is make bipedal assault mechs, powered by a small thorium reactor, and burst proton cannons, and a fuel-powered jump pack, to strafe the enemy in the air, and reach long distances, due to the moon's very weak gravity Why? Defense... and the other half will be specialized to construc
Establish a spaceport to create automated construction ships, crewed with 5 members to control the arms, attached with a basic machine gun with a simple targeting engine, and 4 radial engines to stabilize the ship, and in the bottom and sides, are 2 types of mechadendrites - the first are tendril-like arms that can precisely grab large beams of metal to position as foundations, and the second are thinner filaments that hold tools, to augment building materials or pieces in order to construct.
Rubidianlabs:Another small ruin was found near where the cube was found.It looks like some kind of gate and emits very high amounts of particles such as positrons from its center.
Continue expanding the nation into the iron hills to expand our mining operations even further. With the size of the colony growing we'll start investing into some more extensive infrastructure and hopefully increase that stability a little. Start lobbying on arbolio for further funding for the mission, and particularly for the alien artifact research.
Rubidianlabs: They're a player who wished to remain anonymous
Also I'll ask again sicne you didn't repond last time, but is the correlia republic just a non-player nation or is it a nation whose player has not yet revealed their identity? (I'm not used to non-player nations being listed amongst the rest, hence why I'm asking)
Interesting, we'll take the cube to our main research facility on Arbolio to be studied and compared to said findings from across the rest of the system. Meanwhile, we'll keep investigating the general area the cube was found in should there be any more ruins to be found there. As for expansion, I'd like to continue expanding around the iron hills such that we can expand our mining operations in the area. We'll send some scouts down south so we can expand to the coast in the future.
