AstroTech R&D was founded on the principle of combining aesthetics with functionality. Unlike most people who will sacrifice aesthetics for functionality or vice versa, AstroTech R&D never settles for less. No matter how little space is given or how much functionality is required, AstroTech R&D always finishes the job with top tier quality.

__TOC__

== History ==

AstroTech R&D is a Research and Development organization created by [[Astrobolt]]. The organization was originally created to solve redstone spacing issues involved in [[Astrobolt]]'s bone lounge, a skeleton spawner on ae0's island. While using complicated redstone machines in small spaces is still the main focus, AstroTech R&D has expanded its horizons to powerhouse bases such as [[Mesa Basa]] and war machines such as the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]].

== Projects ==

=== Astrobolt's Bone Lounge ===

After ae0 commissioned [[Astrobolt]] to build a skeleton spawner at ae0's newly founded shop island, [[Astrobolt]] needed to start experimenting with various redstone techniques. After using AstroTech R&D to come up with the right technique, there was a problem with spacing. Thus, AstroTech R&D's focus of space, aesthetics, and functionality was created. The spawner ultimately became a cheap way for players to get xp and loot.

Unfortunately, a server update broke the hopper clocks involved. Now the spawner is free to use.

=== Spooky Spawner ===

As more of ae0's island was explored, another skeleton spawner was discovered. [[Astrobolt]] was once again commissioned to make it functional. This time, the spawner would be more advanced. There would be several time options to choose from. The times were so precise that even the longest option, 30 minutes, was accurate to within 10 seconds. The spawner also included automatically restocking shops that essentially an infinite money machine. The spawner was perfected with a skull entrance created by Simbad_Tiger.

Unfortunately, the same server update that broke [[Astrobolt]]'s bone lounge broke the Spooky Spawner as well. Now, the Spooky Spawner is free to use.

=== Mesa Basa ===

[[Mesa Basa]], one of the most formidable bases on the server, is [[Astrobolt]]'s main base. It is an ongoing project that is improved upon as needed. 

Due to it being the base of operations for AstroTech R&D, details about [[Mesa Basa]] are unavailable.

=== London ===

[[Astrobolt]]'s house in [[London]] has been secured with technology produced by AstroTech R&D.

Because it is the fallback base of operations for AstroTech R&D, specific details about the house are unavailable.

=== The Phantom Narwhal ===

While [[Astrobolt]] was in the crew [[Phantom]], he created the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] for ship battles. Since then, it has been improved upon with several new designs. Each new design features more advanced capability, weaponry, and armor.

All work on the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] is top secret, therefore further details on this project are unavailable.

== Work for Hire ==

Currently, AstroTech R&D does not do projects for the general public. Projects are only done if [[Astrobolt]] approves of the person submitting a request. Additionally, if materials are provided, all jobs are free. Otherwise, the cost of the project will reflect the cost of the materials.

Request can be made in game by using /msg Astrobolt or by using /mail send Astrobolt.
