Hidden Technologies

Hidden technologies are Research technologies that cannot be unlocked via normal means but must be unlocked by achieving a Major Success in the BEPIS chamber.

Technologies

Specialized Engineering

"Conventional wisdom has deemed these engineering products 'technically' safe, but far too dangerous to traditionally condone."

Tinker's Gloves Found in: Engineering Techfab after research Used for: Improving construction speed by approx 1/3 (needs verification) Strategy: Rapidly rebuilding engineering after a supermatter delamination, or showing off in an epic build-off. Description These overdesigned engineering gloves have automated construction subrutines dialed in, allowing for faster construction while worn. CAUTION: NOT INSULATED.

Lava-Resistant Metal Rods Found in: Any Techfab after research Used for: Constructing on lava Description Treated, specialized metal rods. When exposed to the vaccum of space their coating breaks off, but they can hold up against the extreme heat of active lava.

Australicus Security Protocols

"It is said that security in the Australicus sector is tight, so we took some pointers from their equipment. Thankfully, our sector lacks any sign of these, 'dropbears'."

Outback Firing Pin Found in: Security Techfab after research Used for: Preventing weapon discharges while on the station. Strategy: Give these to cargo to let them use weapons in lavaland without risking the station. Description A firing pin used by the austrailian defence force, retrofit to prevent weapon discharge on the station.

OZtek Boomerang Found in: Security Techfab after research Used for: When provided with a power cell and turned on, stuns anybody it hits and returns to the thrower. Strategy: Use for a particularily interesting way to gear your security officers. Description A device invented in 2486 for the great Space Emu War by the confederacy of Australicus, these high-tech boomerangs also work exeptionally well at stunning crewmembers. Just be careful to catch it when thrown!
