Do you guys think we can bug the Alliance into giving us one of the dreadnought quota if we build and design the rest?

We do need a good flagship though.
Just build Ark Hyperion.
Or the Nexus.

Heh, that's what I get for phone updates. Revy.

anyone else wants Very Large Space Stations?
just looking at it and thinking ''well with constrution speed it should only take what 4 turns maybe 6 turns to build
If we do the advanced construction research next, that might be cut down even more.

Definitely Centurion for mass production. I don't think Revy's personal suit needs a name, except maybe 'Iron (Wo)Man'.

What tier is the SA at? Are they still allowed 6 dreadnoughts? or is it now 8 dreadnoughts? (Can't be down to 4, since no polity would agree to mothballing existing dreadnoughts.)
I apparently was insane enough to approximate how many QEC-equipped sensor drones would be required to simulate FTL sensors in the old thread, although it was in the context of detecting incoming FTL ships:
orbiting drone sensor setup: Shepard Quest Mk VI, Technological Revolution
stationary drone sensor setup: Shepard Quest Mk VI, Technological Revolution
Assuming the math is correct, this should still be applicable for incoming lasers, which travel at 1c (or less in atmosphere), requiring substantially fewer drones for a laser-detecting FTL setup. The actual laser detection part would be tricky due to the fact that light from lasers propagate in an extremely narrow cone, but it should theoretically be possible to detect their "trails" (space isn't a complete vacuum), or the thermal signature of the weapon firing the laser.
Nonetheless, if even bullets (let alone ME projectiles) travel way too fast to practically dodge at any ground combat range, lasers would be pretty much impossible to dodge there. Realistically, dodging would only be possible in space combat, and only for ships capable of extremely rapid acceleration at extreme engagement ranges (like at least hundreds of kilometers). So even with a perfect FTL sensor, evading lasers is not really practical.
Just a bit of fridge logic but with all this construction, why haven't we found the beacon?

Speaking of QEC sensor drones, would it not be possible to engage in 'over the horizon' type of warfare with our new UV lasers?
If we can send drones in first to recon and 'paint' targets, then use the instant telemetry to snipe them with UV lasers from several light seconds to minutes away. As long as they don't have enough time to dodge, this could be a new naval doctrine.

We need to double down on information security to protect Cortana, make sure she understands she needs to act like a VI to survive.
I think we should prepare a stealth ship so she can flee to wild space if she needs to, maybe she can get asylum with the Geth if it comes to it. Pretty desperate to hope they don't shoot her down before asking questions but maybe if she's obviously an escaped AI they'll let her in.
Defintely not letting her get murdered by the cops.
Maybe we should figure out some kind of deal we could make with Aria and Omega to keep a good relationship if she's willing to hand us info like this.

Thats a hilariously big over reaction right now. I think we should calmly assist the situation and come up with salutations on how to deal and adapt to the circumstances as presented.

Yes but they found the beacon as they were expanding the colony, we're expanding the colony. It's likely somewhere nearby. Not saying we should definitely find it but it should probably be in a roll.

Theres probably more than one city on Eden Prime. Pretty rough commute for whoever if farming the other side of the planet otherwise.

You know, its likely that shepard was in one of the early towns that isnt anywhere near the beacon, and as such when she started expanding she focused on her hometown the most.

Shepard lives in Mindoir which is a different planet to Eden Prime.
So yes? Correct, her town was no where near the beacon. And she expanded her home

pfff sorry had a dumb moment there.
But with how Revy is such a major influence she likely had other focuses for expansion, like not building near towns and likely built new ones away from already existing cities, so its likely that cities started expanding towards her company built centers, due to the job opportunities she represent.
a very reasonable reasoning. The only real counterpoint would be that Tony's system was designed to be easier to bring everywhere, and then kilos start to matter more. But seeing how we have a reasonable extra risk of being spaced when our meeting rooms get shot up, a few kilos extra is a good trade of. We are also risking way heavier guns then Tony would ever reasonably expect, so not going ultra thin on the armor just makes sense.
