PRIME MINISTER MICHAEL FROST FOUND DEAD! BREAKING ― The Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations has shocked the entire galaxy by announcing the death of Michael Frost to the public! Earlier today, officials say the septuagenarian was found dead within his Unity Station suite after several harrowing days of fending off accusations of his ties to the Clandestine Incident. Members of the Alliance's intelligence community have dutifully examined the scene and, in another turn of events that has roiled galactic politics, accused Zavodskoi Interstellar of the murder, linking the weapons giant to specialized evidence left at the site of this heinous crime! The prime minister’s bodyguards are currently being questioned over the incident. The announcement of the death has triggered a total lockdown of the Sol system by the fleet; all transit is being halted by armed ships and the system’s bluespace gate is currently offline. Space ports have been occupied by marines in an attempt to prevent the culprits from escaping. Fleets stationed in the Middle and Outer colonies were given orders to remain in their positions. Despite the protest of several politicians, the senate has been adjourned until further notice by the orders of the admiralty. Official information channels were also placed under the watch of the fleet intelligence agencies. Speculation as to why Prime Minister Frost was assassinated is currently running rampant across extranet forums and message boards. Despite the orders from the Admiralty, erratic behavior has been observed from certain fleets. The 112th has reportedly left their position at the Valley Hale and is heading towards Mictlan, ignoring any communication attempts by other fleets. Admiral Salehe Orsi, responsible for the 58th fleet stationed by Konyang, has accused the civilian government of conspiring to murder Michael Frost and has departed for the Sol system without official permission. Colonial delegates have denounced the navy’s actions in Sol, claiming that they are planning a coup. Riots and protests have been reported in frontier worlds, with many calling for independence from the Alliance. Inside sources within the Solarian navy indicate that all military forces have been put on high alert; the 35th fleet, under the command of Admiral Raymond Özdemir, has arrived on the southern galactic border of Tau Ceti. The 35th is expected to dispatch senior officials in the Alliance intelligence community to look into the suspicious circumstances surrounding the passing of the Prime Minister; several facilities owned by NanoTrasen and the Republic of Biesel have been instructed to prepare for visitors in recent days as the Solarian government searches for answers in the violent slaying of their top official. In response to the heightened tension and uncertain stability of galactic politics in the wake of this horrific tragedy, NanoTrasen installations across Tau Ceti space have moved to the next level of readiness, with their most prominent control station, the NTCC Odin, publicly reporting an alert level of BLUE. This story is breaking and will be updated as necessary.

On second thought, I will likely be picking this up again as a side project when I'm bored. I will post sprite progress soon. You're getting grimdark I guess

For clarity I didn't post this or ask this to be posted because it was incomplete. I am also not working on this anymore because there's too many split opinions on it. No time to cater to everyone, etc.

This is my ongoing resprite. No idea if I can actually finish it with the arc going on, but it is a start. Top - old Middle - new stun Bottom - new lethal

CLANDESTINE INCIDENT: FINGERS POINTED AT FROST! Shocking accusations out of Epsilon Eridani have made ripples across the galactic community today. Key members of the Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals Board of Directors spoke at a press conference earlier this afternoon held in their headquarters on Akhet, where they detailed their collaboration with other megacorporations into the investigation of the catastrophic Clandestine Incident. The executives stunned the entire press corps by formally accusing Michael Frost, Prime Minister of the Alliance, and the Solarian military of being responsible for the destruction of the largest phoron deposit ever known to man. The once rogue admiral and now face of the Solarian government has found himself the center of attention yet again as Zeng-Hu adamantly insists that both he and the Solarian military caused the chain reaction that obliterated 'Clandestine'. Claims brought forth by executives at the conference even go so far as to suggest that the cause for the detonation was a coordinated bombing of the asteroid by Sol ships in the area under orders from Prime Minister Frost himself, and that Zeng-Hu had no choice but to go public after threats were made by Sol officials. As the galaxy grapples with the heavy accusations being made against the largest human space-faring power in the known universe, inside sources have told the Bugle that the Alliance's government is in a state of chaos as they attempt to quash what they call 'outrageous fake news' on the part of Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals. Solarian consulars across the galaxy are refusing to provide commentary to news outlets, and top Alliance government officials are privately expressing doubts on how well they can control the narrative surrounding the claims. Prime Minister Frost has a reputation of being accused of underhanded tactics and political intimidation in the Sol Alliance, and remains vastly unpopular in areas of the nation. In others, he is viewed as a hero. Public opinion is mixed and some Solarian citizens have demanded that Zeng-Hu provide more evidence to prove the veracity of these claims, but for now, the Solarian government has remained uncharacteristically tight-lipped. Inside sources within the Alliance navy have told the Bugle that all military installations have seen an alert level increase, and third parties warn of ongoing fleet movements across Solarian borders. The accusations brought forth by Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals are sudden, and the serious nature of their claims is apparent. Is Frost really to blame for the dark state of affairs in the world of phoron supply? And, if so, what are his reasons for such a heinous attack as Sol now suffers from reduced exports out of Republic space? While the Alliance government has refused to engage with the Bugle to answer these questions, the Sol Alliance News Network was provided the only statement on the accusations from none other than Prime Minister Frost himself. In their exclusive interview, he stated, "The claims made by Zeng-Hu are illogical and without merit; these Biesellite separatists are engaged in an obvious and bald-faced attempt to undermine galactic trust in the Solarian government by directly accusing us of terrorism. I would suggest that the real investigation focus on NanoTrasen, who have much to gain from destroying their own deposit to paint both myself and Sol in a bad light - especially to get back at me for attempting to put a stop to their illegal production of synthetic killing machines. To think that Sol would destroy such a large source of phoron when we use it as much as any other nation is ridiculous." In the same article, an eyebrow-raising, prepared statement was referenced from Alliance leadership regarding the ongoing phoron crisis. "Our investments in an alternative solution to external phoron sources have come to fruition, and we are not only excited, but proud to announce that we have found a new source of the phoron material. The external events regarding the ongoing shortage are of no concern to the Solarian Alliance."

PHORON SCARCITY AT ITS PEAK! Earlier today, the results of a series of wide-ranging, system-wide surface scans of 86% of the Romanovich Cloud and interior of Tau Ceti space were published, disappointing optimists who said that another discovery on par with 'Clandestine' could still have been in the cards. Government officials have indicated that very few substantial phoron deposits remain unmined, and it appears unlikely that any new deposits of the critical mineral are left to be discovered in the system. In a hastily-assembled press conference, NanoTrasen Corporation took questions from a raucous press corps, restating their previous assurances that the situation is under control and that the bluespace giant has enough supplies to meet their necessary production quotas. The corporation is adamant that they will be able to make their current stockpiles last until new sources of phoron are found, but experts remain divided on whether or not this is the case. Einstein Engines (ENEN 15.3% ↑), the Orion Spurs' largest producer of non-phoron warp-capable engines, has seen its biggest single-day stock price increase in the last few decades as a result of the duly named 'Clandestine Incident'. The Einstein Engines public relations team has promised that they are more than equipped to deal with the demand for non-phoron engines, and have used the crisis to successfully market their warp-drives as a trustworthy, reliable alternative amidst the growing uncertainty surrounding the sustainability of phoron. Both government and independent surveyors have begun to look outwards towards Frontier assets in an attempt to locate more phoron, but as of now no new deposits have been located and a gripping sense of hopelessness has begun to take root in the industrial mining community. Bugle reporters were able to catch a survey team before they departed for Frontier space, and their lead prospector took the opportunity to say, "The sudden disappearance of numerous deposits of phoron is happening on an unprecedented scale. It really just seems like no one's prepared for this... [...] ...my team hasn't located a deposit in weeks!" The galactic economy is certainly feeling the strain caused by the ongoing scarcity, and the effects are clearly evident even within Tau Ceti as companies and transportation groups fielding bluespace shuttles cut their flight time by upwards of 50%. Phoron supplies, once distributed throughout many installations for the purposes of research or chemical synthesis are also being recalled by NanoTrasen Central Command. The pressure is on for mining operations within the system to squeeze every last trace of phoron out of current deposits, but how long will it be before all wells run dry? Bugle reporters are currently working around the clock across the Orion Spur to keep you, our valued readers, up to date on any news regarding the ongoing scarcity as it occurs. Stay tuned for more information. In other news, the Alliance's press secretary has released another statement to all news outlets within the core Sol system. An important, leading quote from Senator Joseph Taylor was featured, saying, "In the interest of the continuation of our great Alliance, we have invested our resources in alternative solutions. Rather than subsist solely on our reserves, we are actively developing countermeasures to this scarcity, and the results seem rather promising." Alliance officials have not responded to a request for further comment.

https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=KING_OF_THE_WORLD As part of the KING OF THE WORLD arc, a major event occurred on the NSS Aurora! The NSS Aurora's crew was tasked to land on the recently discovered phoron-rich asteroid "Clandestine." Several departments were tasked with major tasks as the situation developed. Engineering was to restore the auction site and prepare for executives to arrive. Service was to prepare the necessities with on-site supplies. Security was tasked with clearing xenofauna. Meanwhile, science and cargo were tasked with a small secret objective - obtain a core sample of a supermassive phoron deposit in the center of the asteroid. As one would predict, the event fell into chaos, and in the ensuing mess virtually nothing went right from an in-character standpoint. However, many important discoveries were made. A very important, recurring blue chainlink that has been appearing on the NSS Aurora made its way to the Clandestine asteroid. Investigators on the station remain intrigued as the stakes escalate. A Solarian frigate was spotted by a Unathi miner in orbit of Clandestine. The frigate promptly disappeared, with command on high alert. Crewmen Alicia Parker and Iliasz Jajszcyzk were responsible for spearheading an investigation, with the latter coming later, into a TCFL crash site on the asteroid. At the site, countless remnants of a very recent fight were seen - one where the TCFL were virtually overwhelmed by 7.62 rounds. Jajszcyzk was accompanied by a private investigator who photographed various points of interest, from the corpses to the very frigate as it was seen. This event's finale was the Clandestine asteroid coming to a cataclysmic end - detonating from the ground up in a phoron combustion explosion. The intensity of the explosion was great enough to be visible across the Republic - as far away as Biesel, and vaporized the asteroid in an instant. At this point, however, the server died. Unfortunately the kill count is impossible to estimate, with all character deaths being voided unless otherwise stated by players. The timer in which the explosion was on could not elapse, and thus, the climax of this event will forever be a mystery.

THE CLANDESTINE INCIDENT! BREAKING ― earlier this evening, Republic surveyors tasked with exploring the newly discovered asteroid 'Clandestine' in the Romanovich Cloud were caught in a horrific explosion that has all but destroyed the massive potential phoron deposit! The detonation was so catastrophic, witnesses reported that they were even able to see the fireball in the night sky over Mendell City! Government officials have not yet determined an official cause for the explosion, but sources have told the Bugle that the asteroid contained an incredible wealth of raw phoron deposits, perhaps in an amount never before seen - and they hypothesize a rogue spark or flame ignited the volatile mineral, causing a cataclysmic chain reaction that ultimately resulted in 'Clandestine's’ complete and total vaporization. Due to the burnoff caused by the detonation and the substantial burning of phoron, it's estimated that up to 95% of the asteroid's value has been lost, and its remains are now essentially worthless NanoTrasen Corporation (NTCO %3.3 ↑) officials, in an impromptu press event wherein they took no questions, confirmed the 'Clandestine' asteroid to be the final major phoron deposit within the Tau Ceti system, marking the beginning of a potentially even more serious galactic crisis and prolonged era of decline. The severity of both the explosion and its fallout has prompted NanoTrasen Internal Affairs agents to launch a thorough investigation into the events leading up to what has now been dubbed the 'Clandestine Incident';' though no clear evidence of foul play has surfaced, NanoTrasen officials are not dismissing the possibility, either. President Dorne and members of the Bieselite government have not returned a request for comment made by Bugle reporters, and sources close to the Tau Ceti Security Council say that there is no plan to enact a state of emergency or heightened alert until more thorough system-wide scans are made in an effort to determine the exact amount of phoron remaining in the National Supply. Mirroring the tight-lipped response by the Biesel government, Alliance officials told reporters at a press conference aboard Unity station earlier today that "The ASSN is unmoved by recent events pertaining to this 'present crisis.' We wish to assure every Solarian citizen that the Alliance will persevere as it always has." No questions were permitted at the event, and requests for further comments made by Bugle reporters have not been acknowledged by the Solarian Embassy in Mendell City. For now, experts believe that phoron supplies will last for the near future, but prices on the Galactic Market are already skyrocketing. NanoTrasen stocks have, despite the Clandestine Incident, continued to rise - though more slowly than prior - due to the megacorporations repeated and spirited assurances that they control enough phoron to meet the necessary production quotas until more deposits are located.

A REMEDY TO THE SCARCITY? A recent discovery in the Romanovich Cloud might hold the key to alleviating the phoron scarcity plaguing the galactic economy, researchers have told the Bugle. A sizable asteroid, dubbed 66832 “Clandestine” by the astronomer who discovered it, has been located within the Cloud with promising evidence of trace amounts of aerosolized phoron in its vicinity! NanoTrasen (NTCO +5.34% ↑) specialists theorize that these findings may allude to large deposits of the valuable mineral deep within the asteroid’s rocky mass, and may at last put an end to the economic uncertainty affecting the Orion Spur. For the first time since the start of the crisis, NanoTrasen stock prices have risen as a result of the announcement. The potential for a new source of phoron has been drawing attention from several galactic powers and the Bugle’s sources have suggested that there are currently discussions of auctioning off the valuable asteroid. Government officials are debating what will be done with “Clandestine”, but our economic experts believe that NanoTrasen will likely retain ownership of the celestial body. Our readers can rest assured that if “Clandestine” goes to market, competition to purchase it will most certainly be fierce. Almost every spacefaring civilization relies heavily on bluespace drives and phoron fuel for transport, supply and military operations, making this discovery even more intriguing as stockpiles of the critical element diminish. A survey expedition to the Clandestine asteroid had been planned and is already underway; will the discovery of this potential fresh source of phoron be the answer to the economic downturn rippling across all of colonized space? Stay tuned for more updates!

NANOTRASEN AUCTION REACHES SHOCKING CONCLUSION! Late last night (GST) NanoTrasen’s sale of its property in Phoenixport has ended in another shocking upset for the corporation! At 11:56:46PM (GST), mere minutes before the auction was set to close, a previously unknown company - Republic Interstellar Flight Incorporated - placed massive bids on all properties up for auction, successfully purchasing every piece of property for sale. Minutes later Einstein Engines announced that it had acquired Republic Interstellar Fight Incorporated and would begin the integration of its properties into the megacorporation immediately. This is an unprecedented event in the history of the Republic of Biesel, and a massive defeat in the ongoing corporate conflict between Einstein Engines and NanoTrasen. With Einstein Engines now owning upwards of 90% of all commercially-zoned land in Phoenixport, the monopoly held over the system by NanoTrasen for the previous sixty years is effectively dead. Einstein Engines vessels have already warped into the Tau Ceti system and have begun unloading massive amounts of materials into Phoenixport, despite protests from NanoTrasen over the legality of the auction. While unable for an interview Doctor Noella Lopez-Zhang - the current CEO of Einstein Engines - informed the Bugle that she was “absolutely thrilled” to have opened up a new market for the Orion Spur’s oldest - and now, perhaps most powerful - megacorporation. The corporations and governments of the Orion Spur are doubtlessly watching with bated breath as this corporate giant finally enters the Republic of Biesel. Article written by NewOriginalSchwann.

In pursuit of further personalizing the megacorporations, we've added "Drive and Agenda" sections to each megacorporation page. This should be one of the final tweaks we have for these pages, considering their importance. The affected corporations are Idris, Zeng-Hu, Hephaestus and Zavodskoi. This shouldn't change much but will give the corporations a little more flavor - and perhaps leak into your character writing.

This suggestion is not very simple, to start off. As the title suggests this suggestion is about suggesting the following : 1. Remove EMP. Entirely. It serves no purpose and throws a wrench in the lethality of a great many mechanical things. - Why? Let's cover the things both weak and strong EMP can do. 2. Remove laser damage from IPCs. Make lasers apply heat to IPCs. Make IPCs gain heat by movement in general, not just toggling run. Make IPCs dissipate heat faster when resting. Thus, lasers immobilize an IPC by forcing them to overheat. This makes lasers very viable as disables in place of instant kills/EMP. - Why? You need some counter to IPCs without EMP. This is a given. So, make lasers have more dangerous effects that aren't akin to the EMP effects. 3. adjust brute resists of IPCs accordingly, either raise or lower it depending on combat viability of IPCs. - Why? Well, they don't feel pain, still. This permits them to shrug off some ridiculous brute effects, and in the case of higher damage weapons (such as ARs/SMGs) they would really just rip through an IPC's thin plating all the same. These things are not tanks, but punching them won't really do much, for example. Questions probably to be asked immediately : Q: Wouldn't this make mechs very powerful? A : Yes. Vehicles are an entirely different realm of combat from dudes with guns. More at 11. If they get out of hand, you can make them more rare, or take them out of hands of robotics entirely bar lighter parts. Q : What about borgs? A : Just keep their laser resist, or make them fully laser immune. They are pretty weak otherwise, with even the dreaded combat module going splat in an RNG amount of .45 shots as minimal as 3. For reference : I have posted several contradictory threads on the matter of EMPs. This is yet another attempt to look back in retrospect and maybe present something reasonable out of the threads of the past.

https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=KING_OF_THE_WORLD As part of the KING OF THE WORLD arc, two back-to-back events happened on the NSS Aurora. On October 10, 2020, After the events a week earlier regarding Einstein Engines' incursion, NanoTrasen raised an awareness festival - the Rivalry Festival, in specific - letting the crew explore a five-star resort on a paid holiday for up to two days. At the Starlight Basin resort, the crew relaxed and enjoyed the fun in the metaphorical sun on New Gibson in a climate controlled dome. One day later... The NSS Aurora is the site of a brief incursion where a legal team of numerous heavily armed, armored and equipped Einstein Engines operatives boarded with a legal representative. In the finale of this part of the arc, they acquired pictures of the Supermatter crystal utilized to operate the NSS Aurora before departing.

Martian Armory Raided: Thousands of Explosives, Weapons and Ammunition Stolen. A military base at Argyre, Mars had a break-in on Saturday in what the Solarian Armed Forces officials are referring to as “the work of a terrorist organization.” An overview of the incident has been released to the press. During the night, the criminals were able to access the base through the use of a makeshift tunnel. They cut the main chamber’s floor with industrial tools. Surveillance systems were disabled by an electromagnetic pulse. Sentinels on site noticed the theft hours after the crime took place. Most of the stolen weapons were rifles and pistols manufactured by Zavodskoi Interstellar. Grenades and military-grade explosives were also missing. Solarian law agencies suspect that Martian separatists are responsible for the crime.

NanoTrasen Sues Einstein Engines! Earlier today (GST) NanoTrasen legal director Mori Takachika followed up on her earlier promises regarding the Einstein Engines Suzuki-Zhang Hammer Drive, suing the megacorporation over copyright infringement under current Republic of Biesel law. The case has already run into difficulties due to Einstein Engines being headquartered outside of Tau Ceti and therefore not being subject to the Republic of Biesel’s legal system. However the case seems to be set to begin shortly as Einstein Engines has stated its willingness to proceed with the case, despite describing it as “absolutely baseless” in a press release. As part of the pre-courtroom proceedings NanoTrasen and Einstein Engines have agreed to allow one another to take photos of their engines for the legal process. Einstein Engines has reportedly dispatched a legal team to take photographs of one of NanoTrasen’s rare supermatter-based engines, while NanoTrasen has sent a legal team to observe a Suzuki-Zhang Hammer Drive in Einstein Engine’s headquarters on Luna. The Bugle will report on this story as it develops. Article written by NewOriginalSchwann.

The NSS Aurora was the stopping point of August "Gus" Maldarth, a Martian whistleblower who incited riots in the Outer Ring and created an uproar by revealing a sinister plot on part of the Alliance. They were tailed by individuals in Einstein Engines gear in an unmarked corvette, who landed and began jamming the NSS Aurora's outgoing communications. When Gus prepared a speech and separated himself from the crowd, the second party proceeded to brutally assassinate the man before escaping quickly, exiting the system.

https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=KING_OF_THE_WORLD As part of the KING OF THE WORLD arc, an event has happened on the NSS Aurora. The NSS Aurora drifted into an anomalous sector caused by a nearby phoron stockpile. The dangers of this sector became immediately apparent as phoron worms, golems, and other nasty critters began appearing stationwide. As well, spatial anomalies such as wormholes, portals and phoron displacement occurred. Amidst all this, a "phoron storm" occurred, leading to more confusion and the station being deemed too dangerous for the crew to remain. Evacuation proceeded shortly after and went as standard with no major injuries. One crewman committed suicide in the duration of this event.

Random events are kind of tiresome and dealing with them, after the third or fourth time, gets really repetitive. This is pretty much just a suggestion to remove them entirely, or, in the best case scenario, rework the current ones (or new ones) into really cool shit. Should the latter be considered and pursued by a developer, ideas for that could go on this thread. for clarity this refers to carp/rampant brand intelligence/blobs etc.

https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=KING_OF_THE_WORLD As part of the KING OF THE WORLD arc, an event has happened on the NSS Aurora. The NSS Aurora discovered one of the first major moves of Einstein Engines that has become apparent to its crew. After a warp signature was located by deep scans from Central Command within the asteroid, an away team was launched from hastily picked crew. The outcome of this ended up revealing an Einstein listening shuttle, loaded to the brim with suited, armed men and a particularly heavily armored asset protection trooper. The NanoTrasen trooper spearheading the expedition to the shuttle was shot a great number of times until they were, in fact, a great amount of dead. After a reasonably confusing method of escape through multiple docks, the Einstein listener group managed to make their way out of the station. The event owed the sheer amount of information gleaned to the extremely proactive efforts of several players who were chosen for the away mission. As well, many station-side players made significant headway into discovering more of the intricacies of the eponymous KING OF THE WORLD arc. Select players will see commemoration for these actions.
