[X]Maybe Legal Defensive Research Plan
-[X] Gaven Dor (150RP + 150*0.85 = 277.5) + Lab III (277.5) + Revy (245) = Stasis Plate [0/1600 -> 800/1600]
-[X] Mordin (300 + 300*0.85 = 555) + Lab III (277.5) = Human Converted Gene Treatments [0/800 -> 832.5/800]
-[X] Hwan (150 + 150*0.85 = 277.5) + Lab I (92.5) = Basic Combat Analysis VI [0/300 -> 370/300]
-[X] Shatom (150 + 150*0.85 = 277.5) + Lab III (277.5) + Conrad (300RP + 300*0.85 = 555) + Lab II (185) Revy (305) = Thermal Compensator [0/1600 -> 1600/1600]
-[X] Lab I (92.5) + Revy (107.5) =Reactive Barriers [0/200 -> 200/200]
-[X] Revy (550) = Advance Research VI [50/600 -> 600/600]
-[X] Revy (600) = Advance Security VI [0/600 -> 600/600]
-[X] Revy (92.5) = Thermal Shields for power armor (re-entry shroud) [0/200 -> 92.5/200]
So If I understand the above, then this is a legal plan, If not i'll edit it when I get up. Since I'm going to bed. (Shatom leading a lab III, Conrad leading a lab II)
Hwan only has rank D in programming, so while Basic Combat Analysis VI doesn't have skill requirements, his base RP for the project would only be 50 25 rather than 150.
He only gives base 150 RP toward his B rank skills: Mass Effect, Military Design, Hardware, Engineering. And for Mass Effect, Conrad Verner has rank A, so he (and Revy) gets the big projects in that field. As he comes from a company that specializes in large-scale conventional weaponry (specifically, ammo mods), that's generally the research we reserve for him.
Also FYI, Reactive Barriers aren't that helpful right now, since: a) they don't help against lasers, and b) our shields are stupid strong against conventional weaponry anyway.
Also batteries aren't about ground combat but civilian applications. Arc Reactors are cheap enough that every single person could own one but are too high power to be useful on the personal scale. Batteries solve that problem and further revolutionize the energy industry.
But do we really need another energy revolution and for the civilian market at that? I'm just not seeing it being that useful. Besides that I just realized that Conrad can start working on Unobtanium which seems like it would have a lot more potential for us.

Assumed that for us to make a lot of our stuff we would need specialized labs otherwise we may have issues. IIRC we set up our labs for this exact reason yes?
Hwan only has rank D in programming, so while Basic Combat Analysis VI doesn't have skill requirements, his base RP for the project would only be 50 25 rather than 150.
welp that was copied from the other plan so that would also be off point wise. I'll edit it since thats the case but it'll be in like in hour.
E: Alright changed it so Hwan is doing, Advanced Vehicle Scale Weapon Mods. It doesn't complete but, it also makes it so I dont have to do alot of math, and alowing him to continue his research on Weapon mods would be narratively enjoyable to me.
I would be insulted, but considering what Revy is like, I'll give it a pass. Mad scientist girl. Her Asari Children are gonna be terrors to the galaxy, they'll mostly faint in terror, and the Krogan will act like Tai Lung to a Challenging opponent.
Paragon Industry Actions:
The big decision we have to make is what to do with all our Production. Even if we drop a ton on the Alliance the availability of Shipyards and the lower V3 Zama costs mean we have plenty to spare. Given that ParSec is going to be the point of the spear for the Alliance's counterattack I think reinforcing them is a good idea.
In the future we'll probably want to invest in some vehicle transports given the limited cargo capacity of the QTT but for now it is what we have and while we could make up a new design quickly better our troops go in with something they are familiar with. So I'm thinking 5 QTTs since that basically covers all our vehicles. That also bumps our troop transport capacity up from 1,500 (plus whatever the Dragon Lady can carry since it isn't statted out) to 9,000. Considering we only have 692 Legionaries that is a massive oversupply. As per the current update getting new troops is apparently no longer a serious issue so I figure we should bring the total Legionary count up to our transport capacity. That means an extra 8,308 Legionaries.Edit: With the new stats on the Centurions this is being updated to 4,500 Elite Centurions. /Edit ParSec can fill that out as needed I guess. Vehicle wise well we don't really have the capacity for any more so that is fine for now and for Drones well each QTT comes with roughly forty thousand drones so they are just drowning in the things. Gladii are pretty well covered since with 60 we have ~10 per QTT since our LLPs don't really need fighter coverage.
We also want to reinforce the Alliance as much as possible. Luckily since we've got all those Shipyards we can supply them with up to 36 more LLPs. That leaves us with 43,014.59 Production left over that I think we can just allocate to the Systems Alliance to order what they want. Whether it be 215,072 Soldier Sets, 28,676 Legionaries, 107 Jacks or some combination of them or more.Edit: 438.59 Production left over; not enough to both worrying about so I'll just let that go to general sales. /Edit
For construction we are basically just continuing the planned rollout of Heavily Armed Space Factory IIs by dumping another 2.4 trillion on 12 more. I'm also taking advantage of the massive orbital space around Mindoir by building a Small Space Station as far out as possible; once that is finished (ETA 2175-Q4) we can build a Lab III (ETA 2176-Q2) and finally research Total Internal Reflection. This is as far as we can do this sadly since Small is the smallest that can hold a Lab III.Edit: Since we can just build a Lab on an isolated asteroid I've updated this vote to do that./Edit

Research Plans:

Batteries open a wide market of applications for Arc Reactors that will keep demand high for years to come and spur more innovation in various personal scale power applications. Stasis Plate provides immense defense for fixed installations (like our Space Factories) and ground units (like Legionaries, Tigers, or Hammerheads) including countering the massive threat of laser weaponry. Not really useful for Spaceships since they rely heavily upon combat maneuvers but they will have TIR when we can research it.
500m MACs are needed for Heavy Cruisers so we want that ASAP so we can start work on the Heavy Cruiser Block Upgrade. Thermal Shields let our Legionaries go full ODST and that is a capability they clearly want. Advanced Research and Construction VIs are upgrades to our ability to continue upgrading our stuff.
Basic Combat Analysis and Advanced Electronic Warfare seem like they will be rather useful for our troops when it is counterattack time. Combat Analysis because we are seriously lacking in high level commanders so having VIs help seems like an obvious choice. Electronic Warfare because we employ mountains of drones and keeping them operational while shutting down our enemies is great; plus EWAR involves a lot of other things like anti-radar (helping secure orbital entry/exit) and communications jamming.
Giving the Turians super-soldiers seems like a wise decision considering they are going to be fighting alongside us. It makes them more effective, less likely to suffer morale damaging casualties, and helps build friendships. That last bit is extra important because nothing helps build friendships and alliances like fighting alongside each other. This is a good chance to work on healing the wounds caused by the first contact war.

Simple change that swaps out working on Captain Turian in favor of working (but notably not completing) the MkIII Brain Shield.

Another simple change; this time swapping out Better Batteries for starting work (but not finishing) on the Thermal Compensator. Personally I prefer batteries because, among other things, it is a tech we can actually finish this quarter.

We've been meaning to recruit some people to finally be able to cure Kepral's Syndrome so lets do that. I would have included recruting some Quarians but fixing their immune systems isn't on the Research List for some reason (@tri2 - is there a reason for that). So instead I'm having Revy go around exploring Landing to see if anything interesting pops up. Spending time with our family is something people have been asking for and I've got no problems with that.

I don't see our current VI research option in the "Research Tree, Characters, and Mechanics" post. So I have to ask, if Hwan can research Advanced VIs. Because that way we can save 70 points.

Sadly not; that requires Programming B which none of our Research Heroes have. That is why Revy has had to take the burden on for all the Advanced Programming subjects; they all require Programming b.
@tri2 Say since we need an space station for space lab. If I'm reading this right, we need first to make station and then build lab in it, which will take lot of time. Could we bypass the station part by doing the "Bring Down the Sky" style asteroid pull where our construction company will make modular laboratory inside it while it's taken to somewhere beyond Mindoir moon (if this can be done, dibs for naming it Minmus) where it can't be easily dropped on planet by some assholes.
Construction could be hidden as testing of new kind method. Outside of basic housing there shouldn't be anything else build until labs are done.
Is this doable, can we shave off some days from space lab building with this way? I'm sure it would cost but that's a price I'm willing to pay.
