SC researchers now have a significant amount of physics and society data that have lead to breakthrus in "blue lasers" and "ground defense planning"

E: there's only one known culture that has better ground defenses now, but it's due to their insane fanaticism. If they discovered our new defense technology they'd be a tough nut to crack. Our mechanized power claws don't even keep up as it is, but our warlike training + clawtech bridges the gap on offense. They've built a society around peaceful expansion. There would be losses in a war though. They claimed a prime ocean world right out of our grip but give gifts of energy credits on the reg, "in the interests of peace"

Dunno if anyone else has comparable space laser tech, we're locked out of other's space due to our diplomatic pinching. If we can gear up we can begin conquering our mortal enemies, some kind of bullshit sand lizards who hate our xenophillic outlook. Their home world is too strong but we can clamp down on their space resources if we can come up with a reason for war.

more space crab updates:

Lowtax was our original Claw Speaker -- the empire leader. Got voted out and took a job as a pretty drat good admiral. Also is apparently female.

There's a problem tho:


This is our first, brand new (and pretty lovely) colony and we need to make a decision. We can either build the research hospital or just kill half the population (it's a special option we have because of the militarist ethic). The hospital will take up one of the slots on this planet that could have had another building. I dunno if it'll provide research or what.

What's the true Way of the Crab?

true. Killing the infected guys will cost between 1/5th and 1/6th of our political capital. This is on par with how much it takes to conquer a few lovely enemy systems or claim 2 unclaimed systems.
building the plague station will take up a building slot like i said. I don't think it costs anything else.

either way we won't know how it goes until i hit the button

also this planet has a ring system i hadn't even realized

A crab will amputate its own claw when it's under a lot of stress. This is inhumane.

I'll apologize in advance for the fox news link but, I thought you guys might get a kick out of this crabby story.

quote:

During the research, both sets of green crabs were unleashed on a bed of eel grass and the Canadian species destroyed it, with Frederich comparing the damage to that of Edward Scissorhands, as they tried to look for marine organisms to eat.

Jean-Paul Sarte injected mescaline once, and hallucinated for years that he was being followed by crabs. (He eventually got used to it and called them "my little ones;" apparently they were also very well-behaved.)

This makes me feel so weird because many, maaaaany years ago when I frequented a uh... site I am not proud of ( I was young okay ), there was a nice little thread and me and another poster playfully talked poo poo to each other using pics of smug crabs smoking cigarettes that we edited, and I know for certain this was one of the pics used, though I can't remember if it was one I made or not.

I wonder if it was you, Rex. I wonder if the power of the crab has brought us back together within this ocean of madness.

This guy is researching invasive pest rats on pacific islands, but the local crabs kept smashing his traps or in this case, stealing them to take back to their burrow for nefarious crab purposes.
