h'what now gabino?"Unique" Techs List:

> Tarcheya - Railguns
> Kronea - AEGIS System
> Harvendir - Advanced Ballistics
> Octois - High-Intensity Energy Beams
> Binaris - Internet of Things
> Holdtstein - Advanced Drones
> Dorthan - TALOS Suits
.
so maybe it's not finalized :^P but the post was finished up, and nobody commented lol.h'what now gabino?
before someone argues this, the dragons are actually based on a concept I devised for a science fiction story of my own, and I totally recommended the dragons to her.Fruit bats bred to be docile fruit-eating miniature dragons (just trust me on this one~)
(This is an extension of the specially bred pets)
After reviewing the request for Advanced Transgenetics, much to my own surprise, it is accepted, though with a few caveats:
1. 3D organ printing is limited to individual organs. 3D printing on the scale of an arm, leg, or full body is still out of the question.
2. Genetics modifications are limited to species already in existence. This applies to plants as well as animals. For example, large fruit bats that look a little like dragons are fine, but genuine scaled dragons and such are not.
Also, the organic floating platform idea is a no-go. Kelp and algae are quite different from the wood-based plants that would really be required to support buildings.
Furthermore, the environmental impacts of such a plant would be disastrous, as is currently the case with algae. Plants that float on the surface of the water block sunlight and kill plants under the water, thus killing off the base of the underwater food chain.
3. The curing of diseases through genetic engineering is only applicable to future generations, not the current populace.
1. No arms, no legs, no buts. 3D printing on that scale would be a significant acceleration of tech progression.
- I know that it can not print out an entire arm or leg at one, but it would (over a long time) be able to slowly print out each part individually
- What I was thinking in terms of the floating platform is to have the plant mass and then cover the part you want to build on with a stable surface, eliminating the problem of stability of the bouyant plant. also, the problem of it blocking the sunlight could also be eliminated by moving the platform around, which is partly the reason for it. It would make building things like aircraft carriers a lot less resource intensive.
- I had assumed, since the population grows that the rp does not all take place in the same generation
We are moving /very/ slowly.1. No arms, no legs, no buts. 3D printing on that scale would be a significant acceleration of tech progression.
2. If there's a plant in RL that can be used in such a manner (does the island from Life of Pi exist?), link me to it. If not, then it falls under the "species already in existence" rule, still. Also, dry docks for boat building.
3. Granted, we don't have a defined timing mechanism for NationStates, but I'd say our current progression is somewhat slow moving. In fact, looking at the council, I'd say we're moving slower than RL in some respects. In any case, for the time being, future generations and some young kids; you could, however, claim a small handful of young adults as successful test subjects, but only a handful and still only around 20 years old, if that.
Nothing is more wibbly than Altera time.NS time is more wibblywobbly than Alteran time.
true. the fact that you can explain Nationstates time by saying the Councilroom is just Narnia says a lot about now NS isn't as wobbly as Altera.Nothing is more wibbly than Altera time.

Source?Scientific Advancement: 103
Development: Breakthrough in large-scale graphene production, and pioneering into the first practical applications of the substance.
Graphene is the world's thinnest yet strongest material, being only one sheet of atoms thick, but stronger than steel by far. In the past, only small quantities have been able to be produced, though now, Kogatan scientists have worked with several of Kogata's largest tech companies to develop a factory that will produce graphene at a much higher pace than before. The new surplus of the material has opened the minds of Kogata's brightest, and the development of graphene supercapacitors has already begun as a replacement for batteries, or even fuel in a far broader context.
Kogatan Graphene is produced in a brand new factory in Hamada, the nation's capital. The process is a trade secret, but as OOC knowledge, a large amount of graphite oxide as a liquid is poured onto a flat plastic film which is then marked carefully by lasers. The lasers deoxygenate the substance, leaving a layer of graphene that can either be stored for later use, or refined by a means of ex foliation if needed.
The factory can produce around 20m^2 in a good working day.
*coughs politely, looking at both large alliances*I'd say we're moving slower than RL in some respects.
B0ss can I Have the graphene armoured drone pls?It's pretty wordy, but very interesting http://www.graphenea.com/pages/graphene-supercapacitors#.VWHbb09VhBc
