Jumpgate Evolution: EU-New Aristio Researchers head to the drawing board.

"...while the Thief was a breakthrough design and the graviton displacement technology was years ahead of its time, the market was not ready for such a weapon. We have decided to continue researching the design and watching the markets for an ideal time to make a statement on the future of the Thief brand.
Our new research teams will be working on new technologies to further enhance and improve the current Aristio Conglomerate brand. While we are not releasing any further details on any new projects we are working on, rest assured that we are making steps towards the future of weapon design."

Today's announcement of new research staff increased the value of Aristio Conglomerate shares and marked slight drops in competitor values. As to if they can make a breakthrough in weapon design which is far more accepted than the Thief weapon will become clear in time.
