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 B.E.P.I.S. 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 30% on girders [TBD: only on girders?] 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!

Illumination Applications

"Applications of lighting and vision technology not originally thought to be commercially viable."

Workplace-Ready Firefighter Helmet Found in: Science, Engi, Sec, and Supply Techfabs Used for: Adding a light and an acid- and fireproofing layer to firefighter helmets Strategy: A Brilliant way to be robust! Description By applying state of the art lighting technology to a fire helmet, and using photo-chemical hardening methods, this hardhat will protect you from robust workplace hazards.

Mini Rapid Light Device Found in: Cargo & Engineering Techfab's once researched Used for: Rapid light construction. Description A device used to rapidly provide lighting sources to an area. Reload with metal, plasteel, glass or compressed matter cartridges. The Mini Rapid Light Device (MRLD) has three functions: Light Launcher: Shoots a lit glowstick that lies on the floor and can be picked up or dragged. Deconstruct: Deconstructs any light within eyesight even through windows. Permanent Light Construction: Constructs lights anywhere within eyesight, even through windows. When used on a wall it will create a wall light fixture, when used on the floor it will create a floor light.

Advanced Grapple Technology

"Nanotrasen would like to remind its researching staff that it is never acceptable to "glomp" your coworkers, and further "scientific trials" on the subject will no longer be accepted in its academic journals."

Gives access to the Dolphin and Rocket Tackle Gloves, for advanced soaring and trauma.

Advanced Office Applications

"Some of our smartest lab guys got together on a Friday and improved our office efficiency by 350%. Here's how."

Mauna Mug Found in: Any techfab after research Used for: Heating Drinks in Style Description A drink served in a classy mug. Now with built-in heating! Capable of reaching heats up to 600K, can see current temperature and charge when examined.

Rolly Poly Found in: Any techfab after research Used for: Anything and Everthing mobile. Description An NT brand "Rolly Poly" rolling table. It can and will move.

Enhanced Interrogation Technology

"By cross-referencing several declassified documents from past dictatorial regimes, we were able to develop an incredibly effective interrogation device. Ethical concerns about loss of free will do not apply to criminals, according to galactic law."

Enhanced Interrogation Chamber (Machine design) Found in: Security techfab once researched. Used for: Hypnotising Crew Members Description The Enhanced Interrogation Chamber is designed to induce a deep-rooted trance trigger into the subject. Once the procedure is complete, by using the implanted trigger phrase, the authorities are able to ensure immediate and complete obedience and truthfulness.

Advanced Sticky Technology

"Taking a good joke too far? Nonsense!"

Super Sticky Tape Found in: Service Techfab once researched. Used for: Making things sticky to throw at people. Strategy: 1. Wrap object in sticky tape 2. Throw object at crewmember or alien. 3. ??? 4. Profit? Description Quite possibly the most mischevious substance in the galaxy. Use with extreme lack of caution. Objects wrapped in sticky tape and thrown at others will stick to them without warning them. They will only notice upon closer examination of themselves.

Pointy Tape Found in: Service Techfab once researched. Used for: Making things pointy and sharp. Strategy: Wrap an object in pointy tape, then throw at someone with Combat Mode Enable with 4, disable with 1 or toggle with F by default. Left-clicking people with an empty hand will Harm them if on, or Help them if off. Prevents you from switching places or being pushed when colliding with people. on to embed it in them. Description Used for sticking to things for sticking said things inside people. Objects stuck into people will fall out after a short amount of time.
