What type of engineering is unique in Colonia ?

[Urbanski101]

Every single engineering blueprint in Colonia started out at G1 and has been dragged up to G5 over the last couple of years through effort roughly equivalent to a CG.

The engineers that Colonia has working for it are people the superpowers could have had working for them, if they hadn't been so quick to write them off as dissidents and criminals.

As for Kansas, while Colonia does maintain sufficient hydroponics capability to ensure its food security, the major areas of economic specialisation are in high-tech manufacturing [1], services and tourism - all highly profitable sectors in the short term for obtaining cash from the bubble, and for developing the region's long-term economic independence.

[1] For example, Colonia as a region currently sells 54,000t of HE Suits - a basic high-tech good required for safe manufacturing and extraction operations by workers galaxy-wide. The bubble as a whole only has 13,000,000t to sell - one in every 240 HE Suits is produced in Colonia.

Well you learn something new everyday...I did not know this.

Fortunately the SCB and maybe Life support engineering are the only Colonia exclusives I would have any use for. It seems fair that Colonia residents have something exclusive to show for all of that effort.

... and Torpedoes are at G5, thanks to cmdr @Paul Smith the 3rd

No, by visiting the engineers and rolling blueprints many, many times...
A player @yianniv has spent the last couple of years gathering materials and flitting between the bubble & Colonia to roll blueprints...
@Phisto Sobanii posted a call for assistance in 'building up' the Colonia engineers (look for Operation Montgomery-Scott on the forum) which attracted players like yianniv, me and many others to 'lend a hand' - but yianniv deserves his own beacon for the gargantuan effort he, personally, has made, in my opinion!

No, not BGS, just players making the effort to use mountains of materials to improve their lot, to the point where some blueprints exist in Colonia that do not in the bubble... just players...

I totally agree with a beacon for yianniv. Yesterday I went to trade mats for the next batch of rolls and then I came back the torps were 10% higher. Since the start of Operation La Forge I did roughly 38000 rolls (37000 G1) and I can bet my FdL that yianniv did a lot more than me.

Looks wide-eyed and jaw open...

This stuff really matters to you doesn't it! Like as if it was RL!

As a gamer I respect dedication to the craft, even if I don't get as involved as some. Without it there's just pew pew.

I'm thankful for his contribution to the Elite gaming community and use the portal he made on a daily basis.

There are also 1D/1C/1B shield generators available in Brandon's place exclusively.

So Colonia is more like Massachusetts ; )
