__=>Area 3: Security Level 1<=__

This area is restricted and you must be rank 6 or higher to enter. There is an array of 12 Autoturrets in the corridor that leads to this area that will attack enemy spies. Warning: if you don't have SL1 clearance you may end up being attacked even if you're on our side.

Here is the door ã€ŒOã€

__=>Area 4: Cybernetic Lab<=__

Here aliens are working on inventing cybernetics (robotic parts put onto a lifeform to give them more power). Produces 3 AnDrones and 3 robots a day (robots are programmed to mine/fight/spy/engineer depending on what we need more of). Drekken drones can recharge here.

(Drekken Drones can not learn magic. If you wish to learn magic, you can have all cybernetics removed here and lose your Drekken status)

__=>Area 6: Uplink<=__

Auxiliary uplink station for the hive. It can serve the uses of a normal Uplink but only does so when our other uplinks are down. It remotely upgrades our satellites and can be used to view deep space. Connected to Sat-01 satellite. From here you can control the Sat-01's 4T2 cannon. This place also operates the Phalanx Space Telescope, but its use is restricted to scientists.

__=>Area 7: Silos<=__

There are 2 silos for producing, storing, launching large ballistic missiles. They are not part of the lab but a tunnel connects it. Contains: 20 Micro-Nukes.

Silo 1: 20 Micro-Nukes

Silo 2: 9 ICBMs (upgrading to IPBMs)

__=>Area 9: Chute Hub<=__

You can ride Gauss Chutes to send yourself or supplies to other Marien bases extremely fast.

Stations to go to: LAHC, BlackHive Highlands, Abandoned Base, Underground Mines/Labyrinth, Synthesizing Facility

__=>Area 10: PBN Hub<=__

The Phobian Battle Network, made possible by new IGN tech, we can now have a giant interconnected network with battle updates, combat situations and anything. Anyone with access can get the latest updates on any Phobian combat in the universe. This will coordinate our forces and help tactics vastly hopefully to the point of being superior to any other race not connected like this. It can also be used to raise morale, via for example music! :D It's divided into several sub-channels, the main one has constant simplified updates on stuff so that anyone anywhere should be able to understand the general situation. Then there are sub-channels for each specific place, each army has a sub-channel, the groups inside this army have channels, then the simple squads and so on. The lowest will mute the others when used (Squad first, then group, then army, then main channel). Squad is mainly communication, groups contain general orders like "advance", "retreat", "flank this side", "move here", "need this kind of unit on this position" and so on, army is normally the generals' communication or anything they decide to put on really, the main can be read about above. This area is the hub where people work to get this network going and do the updates and so on. Motherships with OCIS can serve as service providers for this when the fleets are light years away.

__=>Area 11: Area 11<=__

The band Area 11 performs here so that we have more morale from their music. How we got 4 humans to play music for aliens on another planet is, well, that's our own secret.

__=>Area 12: Upgrade Center<=__

This area is for keeping track of the various upgrades Alien vehicles have. Upgrades are for specific kinds of ships, and they may be standard and be with all ships of that type when made or they may be optional to install on one, or a hybrid where certain ships will have it as standard/built-in feature on some custom vessels and others you will need to buy the upgrade.

Hyper-Carrier Power Cell (Better name?) -NOT READY-

A special power upgrade that allows Hyper Carriers and Cosmo-Carriers to fly much faster, maintain stronger shields and actually overcharge and use the main laser weapon to shoot a powerful beam that deals "splash" damage in a large area. Allows Carriers to be dropped from orbit and survive to drop troops at the ground, while dealing damage to enemy forces and clearing the ground. I guess you could also start using them as expensive bombers...

Standard for all Hyper-Carriers, upgrade/standard(?) for Cosmo-Carriers.

Warp Drives

Drives that let ships exceed the speed of light! Yay. Essential for interstellar and interplanetary travel. Built in as part of most big spacecraft, depends a lot on what the guy that manufactured/ordered the ship wants. A built in drive would raise the cost and time by a bit. Normal aircraft (i.e. Strike Fighters) can become spacecraft if you have a space piloting license and purchase this. Standard for some spacecraft like the battleship and colony ship, these can be manufactured without one to decrease price if needed though.

Railgun

Change out a vehicle's weaponry with railguns. Great for piercing armor, has a tendency to pierce too much though as it does more damage to have the bullet stuck inside the outer armor after penetration and not completely passing through. Shields aren't a major concern to railguns. Firerate tends to drop, but increased damage yields about same DPS. Range will increase. Ideal for ETX FireCamels. 100 Â© per USI

Plasma Weaponry

Change out a vehicle's weaponry with plasma weapons. Plasma normally burns through stuff, so it's good against certain types of armor. Will cause serious burn damage and deal extra damage when target is weak to heat. Heat resistance and shields tend to stop plasma though. It does a little bit more damage but what will really increase is the fire rate. Plasma can also be used as an explosive to do splash damage. DPS gets raised a bit. 100 Â© per USI (Note that plasma has become more and more of a standard, you won't normally need this). Explosive plasma: Standard for R.P.G.7 and Robust Turrets, upgrade for Strike Bombers 250Â©

Ion Weaponry

Change out a vehicle's weaponry for Ions. Ions are similar to lasers, except that they are supercharged atoms that are categorized as electricity. The difference in damage is not much more than lasers, but it's slightly stronger against shields, and has a chance of causing an EMP effect, where electronics it hits are disabled. Hint: Increase the duration and the chance of EMP by raising your skill stat. Some computers hit by EMP may have their memory wiped permanently. Standard for Strike Interceptors, upgrade 125Â© for any other vehicle.

Laser Weaponry

The standard for a few years, it's getting slowly taken away in favor of plasma though. Lasers normally come in the pulse variant, but you can install blaster or beam ones too. Pulse lasers fire a short pulse of energy that hits pretty instantly, does high damage with low firerate, good range. Blasters will fire little "blobs" of energy, firerates are higher but damage normally lower. Blasters can be modified for splash damage, we don't have that tech quite yet though. Beam Lasers fire continuous beams of energy, firerate is constant, damage is high, causes extra heat damage but it needs tons of power and causes bad overheat. 25, 30, 40 Â© per USI. Pulse DPS is standard, blaster DPS could get higher or stay the same, beam DPS tends to be higher, as long as you can manage to fire. Shields stop lasers, armor is a bit weak but nothing special. A bit of the damage is heat-based and gets affected by heat resistance or weakness. There is also a subtype of laser weaponry called YBeam Weaponry. The photons are at extremely high frequencies (Gamma Rays) that do much more damage, especially against enemies weak to radioactivity, but you'll have to "reload" more often because it takes a lot of energy. For ability to switch to Ybeam based fire: 75Â© for firearms/laserstaffs, additional 25Â© per USI on a vehicle.

Projectile Weaponry

Replaces weaponry with projectile based weaponry. Normally the human standard, Aliens have moved on to energy based weaponry. But projectiles are great at penetrating shields. They tend to ricochet off armor, you're better using something else. Firerate is high, damage low normally, these weapons can be tweaked so much. If you use rockets or missiles you get splash damage, but much lower firerates. 25 Â© per USI.

Adaptive Armor

ALTC (Alloy of aluminum lithium titanium carbide) has replaced steel as the standard for constructing buildings and vehicles, but a special plating of it can be added over vehicles to make it adaptable to its environment. Meaning the more you attack it, the tougher it gets.
