Arguments happen, they just do, you can't stop it, no matter how much power you have, even if it takes years to settle, when it does, everyone is stronger for it. Rivalries can be made into friendships if you let them.
Some ideas are meant to be made into reality, but most need to be burned at the stake.
Hating the things you love
After the trek, the band of mercenaries arrive at the mining outpost. Andrew, Akaro, Tsh'Jin, and Fikkiti arrive shortly afterwards. There are several buildings; a processing plant, an office, a mess hall, and a barracks. Most of the other mercenaries are looking around out of boredom and idleness. The mercenary who seems to be in charge is talking to the head of security of the mining outpost. It seems that they've evicted the miners in anticipation of the attack. The security team is small, and you can see why they requested mercenary help.
There doesn't seem to be any sign of the pirate attack yet, so you've got time to prepare. Some mercenaries are talking to the security team, while others are looking at the site map. A few people are moving shipment crates around, presumably for cover, yet others are just sitting around in boredom. There seems to be a crowd around an engineer and his improvised wares. Perhaps it's worth a look?
Bonus loadout
Weaponized Mining Laser - 2 available
- A tool used for breaking rocks and extracting minerals turned deadly weapon. Burns through most targets with ease, but is quite prone to overheating and energy shortages.
Gravity Beam - 1 available Out of stock
- Used by miners to lift loads of minerals and supplies, this could probably be used to move cover around. Perhaps you could even lift enemies or slow down something bigger.

Andrew listened as Fikkti said that their mission was a defensive one so they should not be as tense. She also said that they had landed far enough away for the pirates not to realise that they were here. This would be an enormous help to their cause, if the pirates did not expect them then they had the upper hand. Excluding the possible situation that the pirates had arrived early, as Fikkti had mentioned. This produced a seed of fear inside Andrew which he tried his best to push deep down inside him.
"Let's hope that is not the case" he replied to the notion that the pirates were early.
Fikkti radioed their boss and received a reply. After this Andrew kept walking towards the mining base. After what seemed like a very long time, although in reality it wasn't nearly as long as that, he had arrived at the mining base. There were a few buildings of varying sizes, each of which was fairly undecorated. There were several others milling about, it was quite clear that the group had arrived before the pirates which was a great relief to Andrew. There was someone drawing a crowd, Andrew who was quite curious by nature wandered over to inspect the cause of the massing.
There were two lasers and some sort of other weapon, upon closer inspection the other weapon was revealed to be some variety of gravity manipulating device. Andrew had seen them used before, but the devices he saw were of an older model. They were used to move heavy objects. Before he could even pick it up, however, it was snatched up by an ally of his. Tsh'Jin had taken the device. Andrew looked at the two remaining lasers, considering the idea of using them in the upcoming siege. He decided against it. He walked out of the crowd and over to where Tsh'Jin was.
"It couldn't be much longer now" he said, apprehension evident in his voice, "The pirates could arrive at any moment."
Weapon type: Thermobaric weapons
Appearance: (generally it is under the form of explosives missiles or rockets or grenades it is used as vehicle weapons or on foot)
Rarity: (pretty common in real life is more or less cheap depending of the size)
Cost: (scales with size)
Energy usage: (it use as ammunition the explosive themselves)
Power: (very powerful in atmosphere with an comburant and particularly effective in cleaning confined area of living things)
Piercing: (it probably does not pierce and is useless in space except if used inside the ship you want to blow)
Thermobaric weapons are real life explosives which are extremely powerful in atmosphere because it is in fact explosives who does have very few comburent inside of them and so the explosion spreads a lot as the powder find new comburent around on an huge area instead of having all of it inside of the bomb. The main think killing with an Thermobaric weapon is the change of pressure and of heat.
It replaced flamethrowers as it is a lot more effective so if you think of an case where an flamethrower could be useful maybe an thermobaric weapon would be more useful.
Well made thermobaric weapons explode approximately like four times their mass in tnt or more(the best one is of 7,1 tons and explode like 44 tons of tnt being four time power-fuller than the moab while being lighter) and as it is sci-fi it will be probably be even more efficient.
Odyssey(I did not find any cleaner way to include it in my text)
Appearance: Swissen has a dark skin, with brown hair. She is slightly shorter than the average woman. She also has blue eyes. She likes to wear yellow.
Specialization: Anything to do with plants, although she is also good at cooking too.
Psionic Capabilities: She is not psionic at all.
Biography: Swissen was born on Earth, after a few years, however, her parents decided that moving to another world would be better for their family. Unfortunately, they had troubles with money and could not afford to travel on an FTL colony ship and had to settle for extended travel. While they were passing through the Earth's Atmosphere she became very ill. She stayed in the medbay for a few months, but eventually she recovered. When she became old enough to work, she was assigned to work on the hydroponic farm and she helped out in the ship's kitchen. At about 13, she was given a pistol from her father as part of the family tradition. Things were pretty peaceful on the ship, until a hostile faction attacked, upon receiving a distress signal, some Stormheart Mercenaries arrived to their rescue. The ship she was on was heavily damaged, so Stormheart agreed to escort the ship to the nearest station for repairs. Swissen was so moved by Stormheart's heroics and generosity that she confronted her parents and told them that she wanted to join them. After a debate, her parents understood that this was what she wanted and let her live her dream. She asked the captain of the mercenary group for a job, they gladly took her in. She was taken to Stormheart command where she was assigned to be stationed on the newest vessel The Horizon
Service time: She has served here for about 11 months.
Equipment: She currently has 134 credits, and she also carries a shovel on her a lot of the time, for some reason. She also has a simple, conventional pistol to defend herself.
Do you know that you need to write odyssey in your app(I nearly forgot in my app and I added it recently)
can I create an new kind of protection(also what is an shield?)
Defensive weaponry type: Long ranged heat trigerer
Appearance: (some kind of set of tubes rotating very fast fast)
Rarity: (I do not know how frequent it should be any advice is welcome)
Cost: (cheap but some huge vehicles have dozens of it for redundancy(for when some get blown)
Energy usage: (pretty few it use enough energy for creating an lazer enough time for increasing of 200 degree the temperature of one kilogram of metal)
Power:(extremely powerfull against explosives as it have approximatively an range of 3 or more kilometers in space and of 400 or more meters in atmosphere and triggers any explosive who can be triggered by an beam able to cut through metal and pierce it or to heat it enough for making powder explode)
Use:(it throw Lazer rays(for an extremely short time) at all projectiles entering its range often triggering missiles(except if it has beeing made with special powder who does not explode at 200 degree or other things of this kind(like enough metal in front of the missile)) but beeing useless against ballistic and gauss(because it does not decrease the kinetic energy) and most of the weapons who are not triggerable by heat of beeing pierced)
Andrew looked at the gravity manipulation device, there were several controls on the side including a lever and several buttons. While Andrew had seen a device such as this in use before he had never used it himself. He leaned in a little to get a closer view of the device. He had seen it used to move around heavy components of spacecraft, he had an idea of how it worked but he did not know the fine details of its operation. Tsh'Jin had asked about how one would control such a device, Andrew had to answer.
"I haven't used one myself but I think I know how it works" Andrew said, uncertainty evident in his voice.
He pointed to two of the buttons, "It think that these control the force output..."
Andrew then pointed at the lever, "This turns it on and off..."
He pointed at the last button, "This button is the safety, press it to enable the activation and deactivation of the beam."
Andrew drew on his knowledge from the pilot's academy where he had learned about the device from one of his friends who was training to be an engineer. Although Andrew had never used the device, his friend had and had explained its use to him. Andrew had asked his friend about it and was given a long winded responce about it. Andrew was quite happy that he had managed to recall the operation of the device even though he was told before the accident that changed his life. He started to drift off into his memory, wondering where his friend was now and what they would think of his career. He quickly returned to reality after he had considered the questions.
"I think that it how it works, an engineer friend of mine explained it to me a few years ago" he said still clearly uncertain.

((You do not need to include Odyssey in weapon and race apps. A shield is a common form of protection in the sci-fi genre. A device creates a nearly invisible barrier against projectiles but does not restrict the user's movement. Think of it as armor, but powered by electricity(or any similar power source). All shields can be broken with enough force(or if you simply disable the device powering it). You can search for 'shields in sci-fi' and get a number of results..))
((Now then, on to the app.))
((I did not say you could make new types of defensive gear, but it is an interesting concept that I may include in the future. The defensive gear itself is actually quite interesting. I've never seen anything quite like it. However, it is somewhat overpowered. Granted, it only destroys explosives, destroying any and all explosives within a 3km/400m radius is quite strong. I believe that there are similar methods in the form of 'destroying the explosive before it hits the ground' kind of mindset for defensive turrets. With that being said, the app is denied. Mainly because you aren't allowed to make a defensive weapon. I may allow it in the future, but for now, this weapon app is denied.))

((I through to multiple factors for reducing the power of the LRHT.(because even if it will not be included right now but rather in an hypothetical future it is still interesting to balance it)
1: Faster missiles could be able to get nearer and enough fast missiles could basically hit the spaceship(for example if two ships are playing chicken like it happens often in sf then the missiles would hit)
2: Excess of light could reduce the efficiency of the LRHT as it is based on optical sensors.
3: Huge missiles have enough metal for stopping the rays forcing huge spaceships to have huger LRHT who turns slower and so are weaker against huge packs of small missiles and so capital ships would need 3 or 4 different sizes of LRHT and huge LRHT are not mass produced and so are expensive.
4: Those high tech piercing missiles who auto trigger themselves and have an ridiculous mass of fuel and of thruster and of shielding would basically ignore this LRHT and would be also able to pierce some shields but would have few explosive power.
5: throwing an opaque gas spreading explosive could obscure the view of the LRHT and then missiles would be safe when in this cloud))
(("((also, anti-missile defences aren't really something very innovative))" who said apps for stuff had to be innovative?
explosives are not innovative yet they have their app like ballistic also there will probably never have anti missiles defenses added(because they will not add defensive weaponry at the same time it is pretty understandable for balance reasons)))/nullpost
((also nothing is really unique but things can be more or less common this kind of defense could be common but how many references can you give of explosive triggering lazer.(probably tons and tons but way less than tons of other things people does not complain of being unoriginal)))

If I do not reply to my posts, I either have no internet connection, or am busy with college work. Alternatively, I may be writing up the post now. It all depends on the situation.
((I through to multiple factors for reducing the power of the LRHT.(because even if it will not be included right now but rather in an hypothetical future it is still interesting to balance it)
1: Faster missiles could be able to get nearer and enough fast missiles could basically hit the spaceship(for example if two ships are playing chicken like it happens often in sf then the missiles would hit)
2: Excess of light could reduce the efficiency of the LRHT as it is based on optical sensors.
3: Huge missiles have enough metal for stopping the rays forcing huge spaceships to have huger LRHT who turns slower and so are weaker against huge packs of small missiles and so capital ships would need 3 or 4 different sizes of LRHT and huge LRHT are not mass produced and so are expensive.
4: Those high tech piercing missiles who auto trigger themselves and have an ridiculous mass of fuel and of thruster and of shielding would basically ignore this LRHT and would be also able to pierce some shields but would have few explosive power.
5: throwing an opaque gas spreading explosive could obscure the view of the LRHT and then missiles would be safe when in this cloud))

(("((also, anti-missile defences aren't really something very innovative))" who said apps for stuff had to be innovative?
explosives are not innovative yet they have their app like ballistic also there will probably never have anti missiles defenses added(because they will not add defensive weaponry at the same time it is pretty understandable for balance reasons)))/nullpost
((also nothing is really unique but things can be more or less common this kind of defense could be common but how many references can you give of explosive triggering lazer.(probably tons and tons but way less than tons of other things people does not complain of being unoriginal)))
