Protoss Technology Storefront

Ok, I like the protoss, so I translated their weapons and technology to NS, now I'm going to sell them.

Prices for the items listed below will be per unit, each unit is a package of between ten items and 100 depending on the size of the item in question, and unit prices will increase for those either larger or smaller than humans, also those with a non-humanoid body structure will have to pay more to cover the cost of modifying the equipment to fit them.

All prices are in USD.

Psy-Blades: Strong blades composed of mental force, capable of cutting through anything, given enough time, the blade is worn on the arm and activated by thought, once activated it requires another thought to be de-activated, since the blade is powered by the mind it requires no ammunition, the blade increases reach by 4 feet.
PRICE: 35,000 per unit, unit size of 100

Shields, infantry: The weakest shields, these are housed in a suit of Chromsten armor and borne into combat, they can take approximately thirty consecutive hits from a .50 cal MG before failing, after failing it takes 5 minutes for the shields to recharge to full, recharge from damage is equal to five minutes times whatever percentage of the shield remains, these units are recharged on a monthly basis when not in combat, in combat the shields have power for approximately three hours before needing to be recharged, if necessary the shields can be charged from a nuclear power source, but that is ineffecient and causes extra wear on the shield generator.
PRICE: 50,000 per unit, unit size of 20

Shields, legion: Legion shields are those equipped on larger units, such as tanks and other vehichles these shields are larger and more capable of absorbing damage than infantry shields, being approximately 2.5 times more powerful than the infantry shield, the same limitations that apply to the infantry shield apply to the legion shield, except charge time is boosted to seven minutes from shield failure.
PRICE: 100,000 per unit, unit size of 10

Psy-Bolter: Converts psy energy to physical force, a heavy weapon that is emplaced on tanks and other vehichles, also emplaced on defensive positions(bunkers and the like), this weapon has a range equal to most medium machine guns and heavy assault rifles, being able to hit a target at nearly 1 mile under the proper conditions(non-moving target the size of a tank, accuracy downgrades signifigantly as motion and size change), while the bolter requires no ammunition, the focusing crystal does wear out after approximately 100 shots, requiring replacement before the bolter can fire again, firing may continue after crystal degradation, but if this occurs the unit has a tendency to malfunction and explode, cataclysmically(krakatoa is a firecraker compared to this)
PRICE: 100,000 per unit, unit size of 50

Psy-chain: A rapid-fire bolter, they are mounted as defensive weapons on heavy installations(fortresses, larger navy units), this has much greater longevity to the focusing crystal, up to three thousand shots, at the expense of size and power usage.
PRICE: 100,000 per unit, unit size of 20

Chromsten: This armor is what the shield generators are contained, it has the strength of class 1 body armor at half the weight and thickness of a similar volume of material.
PRICE: 1,000 by weight, weights in kilogranms

On a side note I'll accept any reasonable changes to my prices\unit sizes, as well as take requests for new items(Dragoons and Reavers are already on the way).

I'll take one of each for sampling, possible buying.

OOC:Miehm, I'm going to be gone for awhile, and will be unable to teach. Perhaps You'll be able to get Kay or Balrogga to teach you in the mean time.

Well...

You need to have psionic powers to use it, right? And if you do, you've probably already developed your own psi-tech.

no, you just need a brain for most of it, except the blades, and those can be modified for the non-psionic.
