The Magnet Gas Cloud is more experimental than effective, but it gave rise to the science behind vacuum mining. Most objects are effected, closer objects are drawn into its radius. Use it to round up any objects and collect them before the cloud expires. Duration: 10 seconds Warning: Deadly objects in the cloud are still deadly.

Delamite based, this gas cloud is a successor to its magnetic forefather. Delamite amplifies the magnetic pull of ferromagnetic objects. Boratium itself is magnetic thus increasing the pull around its radius. Greater in size than its previous counter part, the Delamite Gas Cloud affects most objects and pulls them into its radius. Duration: 15 seconds Warning: Deadly objects in the cloud are still deadly.

The largest of the Delamite family, this utility is a sight to behold with its magnificent size and pull. Affects most objects and pulls them into its radius. Duration: 15 seconds Warning: Deadly objects in the cloud are still deadly.

Utilizing a mixture of boratium and highly excited ions, this gas cloud incinerates more traditional metals and materials, but Boratium itself is not affected creating an ideal mining tool. Duration: 10 seconds Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection.

The extended vortex gas cloud is the "more" approach to Vortex cloud mining. Laced with more energy, this gas cloud is simply bigger and better than its predecessor. Duration: 15 seconds Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection.

Ringers got the bright idea to electrically charge Boratium and the end results became an Ion pulse which could distort gravity over a given area. Duration: 5 seconds

The powerhouse successor to the Bortak Pulse, the shock wave simply hits harder and slows longer. Duration: 8 seconds

After the development of the Bortak shock wave, Ringers wondered if ion pulses couldn't be used defensively to stop projectiles and objects. The end result was the Ion Hull Shield, a 360 degree shield which can mitigate and wipe out most damage. The only downfall is there isn't enough energy on-board most ships to handle the load for long periods of time. Duration: 2 seconds Warning: All Shield deployment requires stored shield energy to function.

The Detron Hull Shield is an improvement on its predecessor. Although its charge remains the same the shield is given a kick of intelligence by auto deploying in threatening situations. Any sudden burst of energy on the outer shield area causes the immediate deployment of the shield. A true install and forget about it possibly life saving device. Duration: 2 seconds Warning: All Shield deployment requires stored shield energy to function.

While Ringers toyed with the Bortak Pulse for defense, others wondered if the power of the pulse could not be similarly used to power projectiles for weaponry. The result defined the first generation of the short range pulse cannon, a fixed position cannon capable of short range damage. Early versions of this technology were heavy and required enormous structural supports. As such, they were placed in a forward firing position, requiring the ship be pointed at its intended target. Once fired, each pulse travels forward until energy levels become critical and results in detonation and a lingering explosion. Although short in range, it's practical use could be both for utility, defense, and offense. The resulting explosion lingers for one full second, detonating most any object that comes in contact with it. Travel Distance: 0.3 seconds Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection.

The unfortunate downside to the short range pulse cannon was simply that of its range. In some extreme situations, the short range became a real danger and inspired the creation of the Long Range Pulse Canon. Ringers simply put more power behind the punch resulting in a greater range. Travel Distance: 0.6 seconds Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection. Upgrades to the Auto Turret Pulse Cannon

Using established pulse cannon technology, Ringers added a kick to previous designs by designing computer controlled systems to allow targeting while mobile. Using a gun pod design, the end result allowed Ringers to fire in a 360 degree rotaion without the need to be facing their intended target, granting both added safety, and strategic advantage. This design also comes equipped with greater range due to a Boratium enhanced energy core. The drawback of this enhancement is that the Boratium charge contributes to some unpredictably inaccuracy at times. Travel Distance: 0.9 seconds Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection.

Since development of the pulse cannon highlighted the impractical cost of pulse technology, Ringers opted to develop ion weapons capable of transmitting large charges of unstable energy. These pulses were considerably cheaper to produce than existing pulse technology, but much harder to make use of. Based on the science of accelerated ions, this weapon, when properly deployed can be devastating. Contact with most objects rapidly excites their ions, causing a cataclysmic reaction and immediate explosion. The remaining explosion is so heavily charged from the effect, it detonates most anything that comes in contact with it. Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection. Upgrades to a Ionic Energy Beam

Ringers raised the bar when developing Ionic Energy Beams. Although more costly to maintain, power necessary to fuel the beam could still be lightly stored using Boratium based cores. The Ionic Energy Beam offers more range and a wider path of destruction, over its predecessor. Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection. Upgrades to the Ionic Energy Bar

Testing the limits of Boratium energy storage, Ringers designed the Ionic Energy Bar to increase the distance of a regular energy beam. The end result was a modest improvement over it's predecessors output, but a massive upgrade in control. This new form of the weapon could emit energy from the front of the ship, maintaining the charge as the ship moved. In effect it became a sword like bar, that could be wielded as the ship moved and rotated, increasing destruction potential exponentially. Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection. Upgrades to the Ionic Energy Turret

The final notch in Ionic Energy came the infusion of auto turret technology utilized in pulse weaponry. As Ringers noted, a flexible turret pod provided the mobility and advantage necessary to combat common threats. This edition of the weapon proved to be the cherry on the top. With turret control, ships could move in any direction but still fire upon targets in all directions. Considered the most devestating weapon every used in space combat, the Ionic Energy Turret is the most feared weapon in space. Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection.

Mastering ionic energy technology only gave Ringers more ideas for weaponry. The cheap cost and light weight of Boratium cores gave them the idea to reinvigorate traditional missile technology. Using ionic energy as the propellant, missiles could carry dangerous explosive payloads. The first generation of missiles were short in range but very effective. Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection. Upgrades to a Ionic Energy Beam

Building on existing technology, Ringers simply added more fuel and increased missile payloads in order to yield bigger and better explosives at greater distances. Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection. Upgrades to the Ionic Energy Bar

As missiles became a go to option for many, a deeper purpose abounded by Ringers whom wanted to build a missile capable of extreme distances with modest to large payloads. The result developed into the first mobile ballistic missile system along the ring. Explosion Duration: 1 second Warning: Bonus objects are also destroyed without bonus collection. Upgrades to the Ionic Energy Turret

Obviously Ringer's wouldn't settle for ballistic technology as the peak in missile evolution. No limits could be found for missile projection that the next generation of missile could not provide. To this affect, the Super Missile was born. This missile system required an on board targeting and control system. Which in turn granted the added benefit of being able to fire in any direction, regardless of where the ship was facing. But also added what Ringers call the the "Death Claw" ability. This enabled target locking for their missile arsenal. Super missiles will chase a target until the hits it, or runs out of fuel. This is the every epitome of shoot and forget about it technology.
