Prospective Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Can 3rd Generation Genetic Engineering horizon tech be SRP'ed? Normally I think you can SRP up to 3rd Generation horizon techs. However, this has a 2nd AND 4th Gen pre-requisite, so I'm not clear if it will burn up my Santa SRP's or not. Anyone know the answer to this question? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakarissa Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Just want to refresh my memory on how to count generation levels for the SRPs. Are the techs we start out with counted? Or do we start with the techs we had listed on our setups? For instance, we all started with Light Beam Laser. This was the prereq for Laser Rifle which appeared on our initial setups. Does that make Laser Rifle a 2nd level tech or a first level tech when we start counted generation levels? Any idea on how much SRPs per generation level?

cestvel Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 should be second generation. We start with Mk I JSS and can SRP up to Mk IV JSS. Maybe take this as guideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakarissa Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Cool. Thanks! Now, has anyone figured out what each level costs in SRPs? Sakarissa The Circle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TErnest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Cool. Thanks! Now, has anyone figured out what each level costs in SRPs? Sakarissa The Circle With only a very few possible exceptions (GM's typing errors?) 1st Gen = 3 RCs 2nd Gen = 12 RCs 3rd Gen = 27 RCs 4th Gen = 48 RCs All others = 50 RCs TErnest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargonKingOfSlith Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 2nd Gen ESP took 50 turns to research. I can't think of any other exceptions off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TErnest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 2nd Gen ESP took 50 turns to research. I can't think of any other exceptions off the top of my head. I think all researched generations of mental abilities fall into the "5th Generation and above" category, regardless of their name or order.

cestvel Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Well, they cost 50 points when you buy them at startup, why should they be cheaper while buying them with SRPs?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All RCs operate first. Points are calculated after the RC operates saving one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the max racial bonus was less than 2 RC and I believve that Pete rounds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Racial points do count but you still pay full cost for them when using SRP's. Of course, you might also have some exploration hits on some techs that could also boost you into the 2+ range. Or you could just be finishing off those techs already started.

ShadowKitsune Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Basically, you won't spend more than 47 "Santa" Points on any Technology, but you may spend less? -SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
