Revision as of 10:52, 6 January 2014
There are 31 NERON projects which will appear as options for completion at the NERON terminal in the Nexus. Each project will appear exactly once. You're given an option of three to choose from, and once you complete one, the list refreshes with new projects, meaning the other two are lost as options for your current ship.
NERON projects can also be completed by the comms officer at the comms terminal by doing NERON upgrades. For each NERON version upgrade, a random project which has not yet been available and is not currently available in the Nexus will be completed. The comms officer can do as many of these as they like, given that their pool of projects isn't exhausted, although there are diminishing returns on AP investment after the first few.
Once all projects have either been an option in the Nexus or been completed via comms, no more NERON projects are possible.
List of NERON Projects
| Image | Name | Effectiveness (with applicable skill) |
Details |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Anomaly Detector |
|
Nothing beats a little NERON defragmentation. Filled with happiness it is more than content to pass a little extra info along to your PDA. Equipment that has been interfered with is reported on your PDA |
|
Antigravity Thrusters |
|
Thanks to these anti-gravity thrusters, taking off and landing in the Icarus become child's play. Entering the atmosphere becomes easier than falling off a log. In short, the Icarus, is a hell of a machine to go flying in!
|
|
Armored Corridors |
|
Eureka! In Magellan, the fibre optic cables which line the corridors can easily be compressed in order to add extra cabling. By adding even more cables, you can build a kind of pseudo-armor!
|
|
Automatic Sprinklers |
|
After several hours of negotiation with NERON, you can convince it to also use the anti-cigarette device for fires.
|
|
Auxiliary Terminal |
|
It would be practical to be able to get here without having to walk so far... by re-routing the 100V electric razor socket, you make an SCSS bridge to NERON.
|
|
Bay Door XXL |
|
After running the numbers, federation engineers released a superb report on the correlation between the ease of takeoff and the size of the bay doors. Astonishing.
|
|
Blaster Gun |
|
A 40mm cannon is good. A Blaster at 80mm is better.
|
|
Convenient Sink |
|
What a magnificent stainless steel sink! You now have no excuse for not washing your hands between missions.
|
|
CPU Overclocking |
|
NERON is a little bit OCD when it comes to scalability optimization, but this time its done a half-assed job, you simply unhook the bool Array DB from the bit Arrays. What a halfwit you are NERON...
|
|
Defective Piston Sensors |
|
By analyzing the smoke coming from defective pistons in the automatic doors, NERON can now determine precisely which doors are affrected and relay the information to your PDA.
|
|
Dismantler |
|
By dismantling all of Raluca's failed PILGRED experiments, you are able to recover a stack of used metal which can then be used to patch up the hull or repair patrol ships!
|
|
Extra Drone |
|
Going through an old archive and examining data on Terrence's drones, it appears that it should be possible to ask NERON to build us another one.
|
|
Extra Hydropots |
|
Neron found the hydroponic plant pot plans; Retrieving materials from the incubator should make it possible to create three additional pots.
|
|
Fire Detector |
|
After spending several hours convincing NERON that fire could be detrimental to its own well-being, it gave in and allocates more CPU power to the task... it still seems pretty annoyed though.
|
|
Fission Coffee Roaster |
|
Yeehaa!! By plugging in a basic portable particle accelerator to the exhaust of the roaster pump, it is now possible to obtain a coffee in less than 12h!!
|
|
General Patching Up |
|
Did someone think to SCREW the steel plating back down?
|
|
Heat Lamps |
|
Equipped with "spring softness" lightbulbs, these lamps work miracles on extraterrestrial plants. They perfectly immitate the rays from our good old Sun.
|
|
Hydroponic Incubator |
|
This piece of equipment, which was specially designed for seedlings and young hybrids, is able to saturate a plant's environment with nitrogen in order to accelerate their development without harming the adult plants.
|
|
Large Bay Upgrade |
|
By getting rid of the backup motor which still remains to be proven useful, we can squeeze in another 2 seats.
|
|
Launch Propulsion System |
|
While finalizing the implementation of new door servos, NERON realized what it had under the hood! That speeded things up no end...
|
|
Magnetic Net |
|
One of the great assets of the Magellan was that the stellar ark could mobilize its own flotilla. You debug the last packets of code from the Magnet automatic pilot program. That'll do the trick.
|
|
Magnetic Return |
|
Using NERON's source code, you realize that you can give the Icarus a kind of pseudo-awareness. You decide to get rid of the pseudo-cognitive code and the emotion engine but keep the survival kernel. Now if the mission is a failure, the Icarus returns automatically.
|
|
NERON Participation |
|
After a good telling off, NERON often becomes more productive, especially when it comes to working on itself.
You install an alarm clock which insults its active memory automatically every hour.
|
|
Oxygenated Ducts |
|
Algae growing in the air-conditioning ducts. Maybe we could encourage rampant growth of banana trees?

Plasma Shield |
|
You never had the time to complete it, but this damned plasma shield would have been really handy. By downloading a new core and restarting the particle tabulatrix driver, it should work just fine.

Pneumatic Distributor |
|
Wow... You never really thought of it, but this tubing system has inspired you. In certain prehistoric societies, they used induced air tubes to send messages... However, these could just as easilt be used to transport food! You convert the guttering into a pneumatic tube. (What would be the point of having guttering in space... )

Quantum Sensors |
|
The InfraSensors also have a dark matter probability detector and recorder which should noticeably increase their utility.

|
Rerouted Charges |
|
By reversing the polarity of the Tesla turret modulator, it is possible to double their firing rate!

|
Spatial Wave Radar |
|
What wouldn't you give to please the Comm... By increasing the CPU priority of the harbinger thread, you make life a lot easier...

Teslatron Reservoir |
|
By adding a piston-based compression system, the storage capacity of the Teslatron reservoirs on the patrol ships can be doubled.

Trail Minimizer |
|
We can't cloak the Daedalus but by adding a flame shield on the lateral jets, we can make it more difficult to follow.
