That's right there isn't a Mk IV GSW. I suspect this had something to do with shipboard cloaking tech going belly up at Type C. But I could be way way off. None knows for sure except Pete and he can be tighter lipped on that stuff then an oysters backside. :)

The Star Kingdom Empires sends out the following info for those without improved materials. Good reading :)

Your Empire has gained the ability to construct a new Installation: the Aeroculture Farm!

-----INST (Describe Installation)----INST: Aeroculture Farm

Aeroculture Farm: Aeroculture Farms make use of large quantities of mineral fertilizers infused into a watery solvent. This allows plants to be grown with only their roots exposed to the mineral solution, though sometimes the roots are supported by an inert medium such as gravel or even obsidian, depending on the world where they are constructed. By virtue of being grown in a clean, controlled environment, hydroponically-nourished plants are very attractive to colonists on what might be an otherwise hostile world. As a result, colonial influx is increased in addition to raising the general health and well-being of the colonial citizenry. If present, excess space in existing facilities is converted for hydroponic use; if not available, simple or possibly inflatable domes can be raised to protect the plants inside. As a result, the only construction requirement is the necessary quantities of Mineral Fertilizers as a one-time expenditure.

 

Production requirements: 5,000 Mineral Fertilizers Consumes: <nothing>

Requires: Improved Plantfoods as a prerequisite technology

 

 

Your Empire has gained the ability to construct a new Installation: the Imperial Commissary!

-----INST (Describe Installation)----INST: Imperial Commissary

Imperial Commissary: Imperial Commissaries supply colonists who shop at them with all manner of consumer products used in their day-to-day lives. Such things might include dishwashers, clothes dryers, irons, pots, frying pans, home electronics, entertainment devices and much more. The Imperial Commissary is both well stocked and is often packed with shoppers. The presence of Imperial Commissaries provides a very enticing reason for new colonists to immigrate to that colony world. Regular Consumer Goods are required to construct and maintain good stocks at the Commissary building. Should Improved and Advanced Consumer Goods technology be made available, additional colonial influx can be expected.

Production requirements: 5,000 Consumer Goods Consumes: <nothing>

Requires: Consumer Goods as a prerequisite technology

ANZ: Ringworld Construction
Ringworld Construction: A Ringworld is a ribbon of metal that stretches around an entire star, completely filling
in an orbital position. Such a construct is naturally extremely unstable, requiring
sophisticated gravitonic stabilizers to prevent itself from being pulled into the
primary. An alternate and much safer form has been postulated to be a series of long
metal strips bound together by powerful magnetic or gravitonic fields. The idea is to
contain as much of the stellar flux as possible before it escapes into open space. To
actually build such a thing would require that many planets be crushed in their entirety,
smelted into refined metals, transported to the selected star system and then
reconstructed into the desired form. Needless to say, this would require an incredible
array of technologies, not the least of which is simply transporting the needed materials
to begin with. In all probability such a project is nothing more than a fanciful
impossibility, simpler than constructing a sphere around a star but not much easier.
Should some way of smelting entire worlds down into their components parts be found, and
a method of transporting said material between star systems on a planetary scale be
discovered, planetary engineers are confident that they could begin work on an actual
Ringworld. They admit that without an outstanding array of various engineering horizon
technologies there is an excellent chance of failure, but they're willing to try.
Classification: Horizon Technology
This Item cannot be manufactured, and is either a ground combat upgrade or a prerequisite for other technologies
Prerequisite Technologies: 5th Generation Civil Engineering, 5th Generation Planetary Engineering

I finished the MK4 EAG and IDFS, nothing poped up. Annoyed since i know MK5 and MK6 EAG exist.

Still trying to follow all possible leads, hopefully soon.

Mk 5 and 6 EAG do not exist. Look at the rate of protection of the Mk IV and you will see that it matches the other top of the line defensive systems.

 

And Yes, there have been hits on higher versions from planetary exploration but they don't seem to exist.

Draco Engine thrust ratings

Engine Mk I Mk II Mk III

Nuclear 400 450 550

Fusion 500 550 600

 

These rating I have verified through ANZs. The progression isn't the same though. For the Nuclear it increased 50/100 while the Fusion increased by 50/50. I was expecting the same rate of progression. Maybe it's a typo? If you have any other ratings to add to the pool, please speak up (unless it's a State Secret).
