I imagine my scientists could strap a drone mainframe into a small vehicle on treads? Same with the fire support ones for ship fires

You're all thinking in the past. Guns that shoot out smaller guns that fire lasers are the future.

Science - 128

Advanced Transgenetics

It would be used for such things as

3d printing replacement human organs using their own DNA to minimize rejection
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/new-3d-bioprinter-to-reproduce-human-organs/
Creating superfoods
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice
Glowing pets/ specially bred pets
http://listverse.com/2013/07/26/top-10-gm-animals-you-can-buy-or-eat/
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)
Specially coloured/designed plants varying from the size of a bonzai tree to the size of redwoods
(combination between the pets and the superfoods)
Boats built with bouyant plant-matter that creates bubbles of hydrogen inside itself to give itself the ability to float on water, if made on a large enough scale could support an entire building
(there are already floating plants such as certain varieties of kelp, it wouldn't be that strange to create a plant that grew into a floating platform)
Cures to several delibridating diseases through the understanding gained from creating these organisms

Note that there are almost no military advantages for this research, as I believe that people are already good enough at killing eachother

@RexJen your group has already researched it's first tech (Advanced ballistics) and you and your group will have to wait until you reach 200 SA to get your next special tech.

who said Rextom was required to wait for an entire faction to be able to do anything?

In fact, where is this rather horribly biased argument that since the Commonwealth is an organisation, all of it's members can only pool and share a single tech per science step?
As far as i'm aware, Astenbech members all have researched different technologies, so why wouldn't the Commonwealth be able to do the same... this makes no sense and is rather silly, Brogan..

Research Coalitions:


Nations may establish research agreements with one another in order to boost their SALs, as determined by the formula below. In a research agreement, each nation may claim to possess the SAL of the group as their effective national SAL.


( Individual Nation's SAL ) x [ 2 / ( # of Nations in Group + 1 ) ] = Individual Nation's contribution to Group's Total SAL


Nations in a research agreement may not research different unique techs, as such would be contradictory to the communal nature of the research agreement.


If a nation with an individual SAL of less than 100 gains a tech by virtue of being in a research agreement with a group SAL of 100 or more but then leaves the research agreement, the nation that left the research agreement must claim the tech gained from the research agreement as their unique tech once they reach an individual SAL of 100.


If a nation that has already researched a unique tech on their own enters into a research agreement, then the other nation entering into the agreement gains the same tech that the first nation has already researched. An alternate option is that the first nation may only contribute SAL points beyond the 100 SALs used to claim its unique tech. If both nations entering into the research agreement have already researched unique techs on their own, then they must both use the alternate option of only contributing individual SAL points beyond the 100 used by each to claim their individual unique techs.


If a group of nations desires to form a research coalition, they must post their intent as such on this thread.



Active research coalitions are listed below.


The Chimeran Commonwealth

> Chicanista

> Harvendir

> Diaedor

> Eulardor

> Mosouria

> Nakadria

> New Drezado

> New Kindar

> Sammaru


Group SAL = 150 (as of May 18)
The rules are different for people in research coalitions, such is the case with the commonwealth.

Because The Pact isn't in a research coalition and each country researches their own technology and then it is their choice of what to do with their tech. (Like @OneRedBlock being stingy with his tech.)
