After completing the Bothrioc diplomacy mission and getting the genetic material, what exactly do I get when I give it to Dr Lessau?
Bothrioc genetic material
- Thread starter LuluTheLewd
- Start date
Faction points for Steele Corp, which might be a thing eventually. If Savin ever completes his Galactic Stock Exchange thing.
Alternatively you *can* give it to Dr. Haswell instead, for 50k.

Does that mean the faction system will be repurposed/not completely ditched?
It would be cool if selling it to Dr.Hasswell means they make a TF for it like the hybrid Myr TF.
You wanna become a Spider and put eggs on everyone ?
I call BS, I thought fen had completely tossed that faction system idea out the window?
Soldier660 Bothrics are humanoid, people have been trying to get actual spider and drider TFs in the game, and Nyrea are exactly creatures that force eggs on people so Bothrics are no different. And have you seen my halloween submission.

No not really sorry. wich one is ? and thinking about you are right. but at least they are 3 times creep.
I'm not saying that, but I am saying you might be able to see consequences for having positive/negative effects on companies/groups later on. Might.
Hand So is stuck in the backlog, I think Nonesuch finished the expac for that AI character a while back and is just waiting for Fen to implement it, I think that won't happen until the new ship stuff gets done.
All the lore on SteeleTech paints it as a smaller company that -is- focused almost entirely on mining and technology related to mining. Slicky Vicky made his fortune claiming mineral deposits on strange new worlds.
At the beginning of the game you see plans for Steele Jr. to follow suit, like with the deposits on Mhenga, but splices became the most visible market in the game so eventually it felt weird for the PC's company to have no stake at all in the Main Thing of the game - so now you can dump mods on SteeleTech even though it doesn't have any real marketshare with them in the lore. There's basically just one private team that Victor hired to make him look less like he was designed by Cronenberg and more like a human. Since then content has kind of forgotten that SteeleTech is a mining company.

Just to make things clear about Megacorps
took this directly from wikipedia
SteeleTech is one of the more NICER megacorps in the galaxy as opposed to some others and yes Steelecorp is smaller but it is still a megacorp company, it has various arms that produce certain things usually through smaller companies (subsidiary/vassal companies.)

I always interpreted it as Steeletech starting as a mining company, then branching out about the time it grew into its megacorp britches. The smaller company bit would be in reference to the other megacorps, many of which would dwarf Steeletech in a straight comparison.
Steeletech is only smaller by comparison to other megacorps and thus keeps out of a lot of trouble.
It's still a titanic corporation spanning the stars that almost certainly has planets, if not whole solar systems, under it's more benevolent than normal control.

I don't think that's really fair, simply because when Couch wrote Lessau he was at pains to make clear they were a new sub-division of Steele Tech that were only set up when Vic realized his DNA was soup, and they are tiny in comparison to the likes of Xenogen. Their presence is relatively well explained. I think you often pick on really insubstantial things to complain about.
If we are going to refer to Gibson's model you can't be considered a mega corp and only do one thing. Also, "nicer" is all relative. That's like saying Stalin was nicer than Mao because he killed a few million less citizens via policy.
Think of a zaibatsu on steroids which no doubt, had a direct influence on Gibson's model of a megacorp.

We should put anno for Vice President and Syri Internal Chief Police. Just in case.
Steele has daugther-companys, one of them owning Uveto. They are there for for the rare materials.
Then, there is also the Terran Treat, a Steele-Tech product and the goto pill for reversal of transformative effects. But it is one of the only Transformatives they offer.
I guess with Victors interests, it is only natural that they dipped into transformatives once they were big enogth to sustain it. And from there, it only got to its natural contiuation.
In future, Steele Tech may also provides a Bothrioc Counteragent for the comming Uplifting of them and also haveing personal friends with the heads of at least two goverments of three on Myrellion, a planet confirmed of being rich on a varaiety of Minerals.
I think we do stuff for our Company.

To take this further...
Steele Tech/Industrial also have these items that they produce
Holstaria, Lupinol, Rainbow Gaze, Codex, and the Light Jetpack.
RhenWorld is also 50% owned by SteeleTech.
Funny how this thread went from Bothrioc related item question into the technical details of SteeleTech and megacorporations.
It's not a complaint any Lessau content but rather that so much of what you can give to SteeleTech has nothing at all do with their actual niche in the market, that there was never any attempt to follow up on mineral claiming as the main activity to advance the company.
Like with Tarkus you discover that there are bits of rare platinum down there but then there's absolutely no way to follow up on this, to get rights to mine Tarkus from someone, but you can dump Grey Goos on them. Giving a bunch of splices to SteeleTech and this being the main thing you -can- do for it is so backassedwards.
If you've ever talked to the merchant group in Sera's party, forgot the name, you can actually explain why investing in these new mods is a great idea for any business, though I agree that there should be a few more mineral deposits in the game, it's odd to have only 1(that I can remember).
