Technology Update for April 26, 2077
USNiE research officials have laid out a plan for new technological advancements that will occur over the next few months. Each is divided into three tiers: Tier 1 for tech that is to begin research immediately (1 IRL month), Tier 2 for tech that needs extensive research and development (1.5 to 2 IRL months), and Tier 3 for tech that requires one or more tech from either tier completed in order for research to start (3 IRL months, may probably enter service post-Duke of Normandy).

Tier 1 (1 month)

 * FTL communications
 * Warp detection
 * Warp disruption
 * New advanced armor composites for armored vehicles and robots
 * New electronic warfare systems

Tier 2 (1.5 to 2 months)

 * New capital ship energy weapons
 * Advanced MAC guns and coilguns
 * Advanced railguns
 * Advanced radar cloaking

Tier 3 (3 months, require half of first two tiers combined to be completed before research starts)

 * Warp Synchronization (STFU Orion I can do what I want b!tch)
