Sakarissa Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Finished Mk III Energy Absorber Grid. The Mk IV opened up. I'm going to start on that next turn. The Integrated Dimensional Field Stabilizer also opened up and I'll also start on that next turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfouasnon Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Didn't deependra post that in his wiki thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugal Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Naw, it isnt there. I think you might be remembering that horizon tech from 10 years ago that said our scientists think they could do it, yet opened nothing. A deadend. Just like dyson sphere.

rfouasnon Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 IDFS is just a specialized shield against disintegrators ( both vectors ) and also against gravitonic weapons , weighs in at 10 thousand tons each . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Deependra Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I don't know everything, and I didn't put everything I know into the wiki :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Further Draco updates. I had some free orders and did some ANZs to fill out my Draco ship design spreadsheet. Â Force Shields Draco Mk I Strength 200 Ratio 2 (strength divided by weight) Mk II Strength 400 Ratio 4 Mk III Strength 700 Ratio 7 Â Andro (full ratio spread is 3/7/16/36/85/200/500/1255/2500) Mk I Strength 300 Ratio 3 Mk II Strength 700 Ratio 7 Mk III Strength 1600 Ratio 16 Â While the Draco Mk III didn't double in strength (as I had hoped), the ration increases have been +2 and +3. If that progression continues, then we can expect the following: Mk IV Strength 1100 Ratio 11 (+4) MK V Strength 1600 Ratio 16 (+5) Mk VI Strength 2200 Ratio 22 (+6) Mk VII Strength 2900 Ratio 29 (+7) Mk VIII Strength 3700 Ratio 37 (+8) Mk IX Strength 4600 Ration 46 (+9) Â This is only one possible extrapolation from the given strengths for the Mk I-III data.

Sakarissa Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Draco engine update - the numbers don't look promising. Â Draco Engines Mk I Nuclear - Thrust 400 Weight 100 Ratio 4.0 (Andro version ratio 3 - Yay! An improvement!) Mk II Nuclear - Thrust 450 Weight 100 Ratio 4.5 (Andro version ratio 5) Mk III Nuclear - Thrust 550 Weight 100 Ratio 5.5 (Andro version ratio 10) Â Increases by 50 and then 100. Â Mk I Fusion - Thrust 500 Weight 100 Ratio 5.0 (Andro version ratio 10 - Half as effective) Mk II Fusion - Thrust 550 Weight 100 Ratio 5.5 (Andro version ratio 20 - Big decrease here) Â Increases by 50. Maybe a 100 with the Mk III? And the Mk I started between the strength of the Mk II & Mk III Nuclear. I was hoping to make my cargo ships 2 AP when I popped the Mk II Fusion. Looks like I will need to trim down the cargo bays to make that happen. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Okay, I popped the Integrated Dimensional Field Stabilizer (IDFS) with 18 Sci hits but only got to 90% on the Mk IV Energy Absorber Grid with 8 Sci hits (One more would have done it). Nothing new opened after popping the IDFS. I think I'm going to head down the Gravitic Sensor Web tree to see if there is anything there that will help. And see what happens after I pop the Mk IV EAG in a turn or two. Going to downsize it to one RC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugal Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 That is a bummer. Near halfway with IDFS myself, same with MK IV Energy Absorber Grid. Hope we are close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lugal Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I posted the ANZ for it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 ok thanks i didnt see it before Here something useful for anybody  ANZ: Terminator DroneTerminator Drone: Drones are small expendable munitions carried as cargo aboard a Fleet equipped with DroneRacks. Not content with the destructive power of a hydrogen bomb detonated in closeproximity to an enemy vessel, your scientists have come up with the awesome TerminatorDrone, armed with a gigantic fusion bomb warhead. A direct hit by a Terminator spellscan carve out a crater even in small moons.

I had thought it might help with detecting cloaked pop groups but this was not to be. I built a ship with thousands of Mk III GSW's( the highest I could attain btw) and they didnt do squat to detect one of my own pop groups with a PDG active.
