I agree with the statements that Kevin has provided. For developing a plasma weapon that is on par or close to an opponent, there are two ways to get it. First one, which is unlikely, to salvage a plasma cannon from either the wreckage of an enemy ship or an armored fighting vehicle. You can then attempt to reverse engineer it, but all it will do is give you a head start. Recovering from a wreckage will be difficult, since the enemy will either 1. Have to be in space, or 2. Quite low in the atmosphere, or you risk equipment being damaged or destroyed. And of course, your enemy can always prevent you from taking it by doing whatever means necessary (though there's always that said chance).

The second way is to well, just research it and try the best to get it. Yeah it will take a long time, but it's a reliable way ,and it's unlikely that research and development will be affected aside from either a crippling attack or getting destroyed.

Marc, here is my statement for the centurions: If Harmon worked on the project himself, he can obviously attempt to create the augmentation procedure or the power armor by memory, or just develop a new set. If he did work on it, it's also possible that he kept records of it (Having all your info in one location is a terrible idea, what if it get's destroyed?). However, if he did not have access to any of it, then I don't think he can recreate the centurions. The only way would to be to steal it, or get it from someone else. Or you could just develop your own kind of augmentation procedure if you want to have those kinds of super soldiers (Or just go with the power armor instead like they do in Fallout, might be a bit cheaper)

"Save the human race" lol m8 you quoting Doctor Halsey? The spartans are probably the super soldiers with the most combat experience.

Smart AI units, that's fine from my perspective, same with lasers for gfighters, MACs, tank railguns, and nanobots. Those seem fine to me, I am just curious about the time of research that it will take. (Probably more then a moth with all the stuff your doing).

This is my opinion and all, if anyone has any objections, say it politely
