...I'm sure we talked about it at some point, but I'm NEWLY realizing that while Elcor, Hanar and Quarian ARE part of citadel space, they never sent people to live on Virmire pre-rachni apparently.
Then again they're all pretty isolationistic, and the Quarian in particular are obviously unsuited to life on levo-worlds
Sorry about that Pittauro. I know I talked it up early on, but a look back indicated it distinctly becoming easier as time passes, likely because of a mix of Terminus progress on repairing the joint fleets, and some legislative success on our part. Between that and the revelation of the stranglehold Mira has on Virmires democracy lead me to decide that either Democratic Reforms for a better Commonwealth or Consulate exchange to gain more leverage in the Terminus to increase Call for Aids base chance of success were better moves.
fair enough. I wasn't really complaining, just noticing the great absent.
in any case, I think it helps reducing the plans to what's actually only FOUR different actions to each. (Five if you count the DD, I suppose).
ok, so let me see... I'd be against Democratic Reforms when not fully maxed out, but that's not a problem here. It's either in a plan with both DD and PA, or it isn't there at all.
I don't like the low-ish chance on Consulate, nor do I consider it essential, so I'm against THAT plan for now. I prefer any of the other 3 diplo actions.
[] Plan Terminus Collaboration
I don't really care much about Integration vs Maroon Sea. Not that much, at least. We need to do both, and we'll do the one we skip now next turn anyway I imagine.
So it's down the combo of diplo actions, and where the PA and DD go...
...I'm actually fine with all 5 remaining plans, honestly.
I suppose I'll also cut out
[]Plan Professionals w/ Volus
because I think both DD and PA on salarian diplo is a bit excessive.
and I'm down to 4.
..ah, nope. 3. I missed the other plan with consulate.
[]Plan Professionals Study Logistics
[x] Plan Integration, Reform, and Analysis
[x] Plan Maroon Sea, Reform, and Analysis
[x] Plan Address The Necessities
This will do for now. I think I slightly prefer "Address the Necessities", because in the end I think it's wise to check the problem the Salarian, the >50% of our pop, are having.
Maybe the Dalatrasses are losing control on the youngsters, with the new salarian males being more independent. Maybe there's a new "males should rule" movement among them, for all we know. Or even just an equality movement.
Maybe new female Salarian are trying to go for monogamous relationships.
Maybe they got an offer for some STG agents
We don't know. and in the end, I think it's worth it to check before writing our new constitution.
Alternatively, we're at least piling as many bonuses as possible on the democratic reforms, which should help. I might change to only "Address the Necessities" later.
From the discussion I skimmed, I think it was because we have some slack in our native capacity right now so the boost isnt urgent, integrating into the joint fleet first before calling for aid having better optics, and that we are already tight on trained sailors right now anyways.
fair enough. and hey, it might actually be even better if we used the volus favour BEFORE calling for Aid, because we might get something relevant to Terminus cooperation, like military tech. You never know.
