I can't remember if it was mentioned before but does our relationship with Dooku passively improve as time passes along side our training?

Choosing Makashi will occasionally give you Dooku bonding but not always

I'm not against going with Carly right now if we choose to also work on our relationship with Areth. I just don't understand going with Carly now, which will likely change her from acquaintance to friend, and also choosing to hang out with Carly in the same update. I just think we need to focus on fixing our relationships with Padme and Areth, rather then spending another 6 months with Carly.

Now that the option has been amended to include playing with T'da as well that knocks out two short-term ambitions, so I'm more amenable to it.
Like I said, I'm fine with switching it to Gordon if the "go with her" option clearly will win.

As I understand it, most of the speakers don't speak Basic, while they belong to a polity that's fairly strong and defensive.

Very strong military, isolationist state, limited use of Basic.
Language training comes with knowledge of history and culture as well. Languages will be limited. I also think (personally) that since Anakin has the time now, might as well use it to study something a bit more obscure whereas Twi'leki and Shyriiwook may be feasible options later.

No, I get that and I know who they are. But they're isolationist, sexist, and as mentioned, most don't speak basic. Not sure why they'd want to join us or why we'd want them to join us.
It sounds like they were too isolated/too difficult to bother with conquering by the Empire. Not sure what they're bringing to the table here.

The ships are more important
The battleships that isEDIT:
It's pretty clear what they COULD bring to the table, if Anakin can wrangle it. Admittedly, a lot of our CHA rolls have been pretty shit, but can they last forever? Can it? ... Maybe?
I see it like this: Anakin could learn one targeted language that could give him a chance to recruit this specific planet that he likely wouldn't be able to touch or wouldn't even think about in the first place. Learning a more popular galactic language could have some utility in general, or... we could have a companion that would be fluent in it anyway. I think both are good options (especially with the slave connection for the latter) but for now I'd lean toward the former.
Not knowing something that everyone else does isn't too bad because you can get filled in, but knowing something that nobody else does... that's very valuable, I think.

A lot of warships are suboptimal when fighting in situations they were not designed or intended for.

The Hapan are such assholes though. Someone mentioned Sy Bisti earlier, we should get that. Chiss alliance FTW

Still the Hapan don't seem like the type to fight for the betterment of the galaxy. Unless everyone here is confident we can use them up then stab them in the back without them figuring things out?

Yeah, the Hapan Battle Dragon isn't what we want though. What they really bring on the table is the Nova Battle Cruiser, which is quite a powerful ship, even if it's more of a Frigate rather than the Battle Dragon. The Nova would be the ship with which they would raid the Republic lines and offer us support. Although I will acknowledge that many of the systems and areas we have near the core are dangerously focused on lighter ships, and those are the ones that will be supplying most of the Greater CIS with warships. On this, the Battle Dragon offers more potential as a flagship rather than a pure damage craft, although it can still field its many guns on enemy capital ships or singular targets with good results.

On this note, it's easy to think of the mighty mass of a galactic-strength military and consider something like a planetary fleet very limited. But that tremendously large military is very much the agglomeration of the resources of hundreds or thousands (or whatever the number is) of the allied systems, with some differences for the case of an established government like the Republic that will be drawing upon the clones. The accumulation of a lot of little fleets and resources, especially ones with different strengths and uses, adds up. That will especially be pertinent if we choose not to rely on the megacorps and their droid factories in order to wage war.
Changing my vote...

@Arthellion Would you like us to compress all the "Go with the Girl" votes into a single one or is it alright that some have the ("required a motivation check")?
Also, what does shatterpoint tell us about Hess?

Yep. The realities of our Year 1, the name by which I refer to the first year of the Galactic War, will be that our military will not yet be organised or properly trained. The ground forces will take time to be properly outfitted and trained, while the fleets will contain many lighter cruisers, frigates, and corvettes.
However, similar problems will apply for the Republic. What we currently hold as an advantage is that Dooku expects the conflict, and is planning for the mass production of warships and the establishment of a proper military force. On the other hand, the vast majority of the Republic is unaware of the Clone Army and their budding navy, with Kuat being the only major shipyard aware of such a development and building warships.
I myself am worried this might mean that we could be faced by Mandator I-class Star Dreadnoughts, but it would be difficult to explain the reasons for building such massive vessels without an order for them. At the same time, the Venators will take time to prepare, which means that the heaviest ships the Republic could field for the first couple years would be the Dreadnought Heavy Cruisers and the Acclamator-class Assault Ship, but they will have an established military ground force.
The CIS, on the other hand, will rely on the existing military entities to win our ground engagements, such as Geonosian Battle Droids, Mandalorians, and drafted PDF elements. This makes our Year 1 ground military too heavily specialised in my eyes, but there's very little we could do to change that.
