Change of Research


 * Research on bio-weapons have yielded negative results, and thus will be completely and totally scrapped. However, all developmental R&D labs will be focusing on a new project - the containment of plasma in shapes and forms.


 * The munitions have big promise as a flak munition. By attaching proximity sensors to anti-aircraft cannons, it can prove to be an effective counter to bombers, and as counters to massed formations of air-groups. Unlike conventional flak-based cannons, the munition will automatically detonate when it senses a cluster of targets...or when it achieves a direct hit.


 * Canisters of plasma are much easier to transport than pure, uncontrollable plasma.


 * Placing plasma on a warhead allows it to be delivered via railgun, coilgun, or other ways of propulsion, allowing it to achieve massive damage against targets, and making it much, much harder for targets to successfully dodge (compared to regular plasma cannons, which had a heavily mediocre velocity and speed.)


 * Research time: 2~ weeks. The CCCP already has ample data on how plasma weapons should work, and the proper containment techniques and ways have been simplified dramatically. Still, it will take a very, very long time to create a working prototype.


 * Bonus: This containment technology can also allow the PRK to launch anti-matter munitions without the problems of firing them in pure streams at enemies.
