Tech Update

''Engineers working on the Railguns have finally figured out the problem with the guns. Several workers from the MAC projects incorperated coils into the rail plans, causing an abnormal amount of power usage and resistance. After all the rails were made solid, the guns started to operate as per expectations. They have a much faster reload time and recharge time, and the power needed was also decreased a sigifigant amount for all guns across the board. Now that it has been overcome, experimentation with the layout of the weapon have begun.''

''Nano tech is coming along quickly, but ISR is focusing on much larger models in the micro scale due to lack of persicion equipment needed for nanobots. The designs and research of making them are nearly done, and test bots will soon be made to test how well they will work under extreme conditions, and after the tests prove successful, research will go into figuring out how to mass producing these bots.''

''Bio-technology is also coming along smoothly, and most of the design issues have been figured out. There is still the issues of how to go about getting more energy from photosynthesis, designing the fabric, and many issues relating to how to get it to work with the human body, but these are also coming along.''

''The making of 'smart' AI is almost complete, but no one has yet to figure out how to program one due to the inharent complexity of coding AI. Some of the remaining time will be used to make the syntax of a new programming language geared to programming AI, and the rest making the AI itself.''

''Sub-light drives are chugging along, but most of the designs that have been made have not even reached 0.01c. There are still designs being made, and progress is going along, but so far most conventional drives don't reach the required speed. Plasma thrusters and Impulse drives, as well as some exotic drives, are canidates, but so far none have made much progress.''
