Potential changes to Photon/Wave Mechanics
« on: March 09, 2014, 07:40:55 pm »
The current technology shortname for Photon/Wave Mechanics is DocSec. What do you think DocSec means? Barring the standard outline for doctrine techs, what do you think the technology image should look like? What are your thoughts/opinion on this?

My guess is that they were originally going to have Doctrine: Security, and then decided to scrap it and replace it with Photon/Wave Mechanics, but didn't bother to change the key because it has no in-game effect.

My first thought was Doctrine: Security also.  Though that doesn't fit the corresponding armor class "Photon Armor".  The thing is all the Doctrine: XX techs lead to new chassis other than Doctrine: Loyalty.  And that one gives a defensive structure (Perim Defense).  It's my guess that originally Doctrine: Security was linked to Tachyon field (or it's predecessor) which later got moved to the next tech (Probability Mechanics).

Some of them are rather interesting: HAL9000 and BFG9000 for example

Already we have turned all of our critical industries, all of our material resources, over to these...things...these lumps of silver and paste we call nanorobots. And now we propose to teach them intelligence? What, pray tell, will we do when these little homunculi awaken one day announce that they have no further need for us?
