Cabal implies we co-operate. Not always true.
I can agree with dropping that. It's not a plan goal and won't immediately be helpful. We do need it but holding off a turn won't do anything....Actually, I think the one I'm most willing to sacrifice is the Defender revision.
[ ] Civilian Support Expansion (Phase 1) (New)
With the millions upon millions of new citizens needing everything from bedding to teapots, a solid round of civilian factory expansion is likely to be relatively important, and fairly cheap.
(Progress 0/250: 10 resources per die) (+6 Consumer Goods) (-1 Labor)
Urgh. That's... awkward. Budget is getting tight and I'm running out of things to cut. I could sacrifice a shuttles die in theory, but I specifically did the opposite earlier, precisely because I want to get shuttle flights to BZ-18 to help strengthen their defense. Aside from that I'd need to shake loose 10 R, and I'm running out of palatable ways to do that.I can agree with dropping that. It's not a plan goal and won't immediately be helpful.

If you do put claws in then the only other change required to convince me would be one dice on fortress towns. Would that be possible? Not sure where your updated plan is on resources? Move a die off of apartments maybe?
You know... you're almost certainly right.Maybe consider putting dice on this instead of drones.
The wording of the text makes me strongly suspect this will save us a ton of problems later if we start it it now.
The reasoning being we have to convince those millions of people that GDI is better than NOD. Materially improving there lives is probably the best way to do that. It will also likely be very important to integrating them into GDI. This will also hopefully stop a BZ vs YZ dynamic from forming, or at least getting worse. Also make things like Reynaldo's terror campaign from having refugee support less likely.
I know a lot of plans are already out but please consider putting some dice on this. Also it's phased so there won't be any wasted if it's over shot.
No worries. You're already making some changes to accommodate other priorities. If the dice and resources aren't there, they aren't there.Urgh. That's... awkward.

I appreciate your faith in me. How do you feel about the modifications above?
I agree with most of it, and it spites this hypothetical peacenik Clowder Conspiracy (anyone got a good C- word for peace? It's for the sake of alliteration).
Most obligedConcord: peace, amity, a treaty between persons groups, nations etc., harmony
Concilliating: to overcome hostility, to reach an agreement especially in a truce
I'd do the mechanization/aquaponics thing, and the shuttles thing maybe, but not the carriers thing. Getting the carrier yards mostly-done-ish is a big part of the actual plan here.It's the Services department that kills me. Leaving 3 dice fallow this late in the plan is just wrong.
Also, we want to do Scrin gacha rolls prior to Nod rolls. We have rerolls available, and it's better to have the more valuable of the two projects up first to see if any are needed in it.
Edit:
An additional three service dice can be activated by:
-Taking two dice in total off of carriers, and putting them in URLS (also a plan goal) +10 R.
-Replacing Agricultural Mechanization with 2 dice on aquaponics bays. +10 R.
-Taking one die off of suborbital shuttles, and placing it on YZ fortress towns. +10 R.
Then you can use the freed up 30 R on 3 dice of sports programs, which will give us more PS for reallocation.
Next turn we can then activate each of the previously substituted out programs, for what I believe to be a sizable net gain.
I generally like Nod techs more, but I can see the reasoning.But you have a point about swapping Scrin for Nod gacha rolls. I'll do it if others approve.
