If we're committing to both Chicago and Boston, which it looks like right now, that's already 2/4 of the Socialist Party's requested industrial capstones promised. Of Bergen, Nuuk, and Reykjavik, I think we can be pretty sure we'll do at least two of them as well. Should we just promise the Socialists their 4 capstones now and score the free support?
Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition
I think that would depend on whether the full Alien Alloys deployment counts as an industrial capstone. If it does, then we would probably want to go for the promise. If it doesn't, I don't think we'd be able to fit in all five of those projects.
I suspect that it does, however. Given that it is a scrin tech with a very wide-array of applications. I'm not sure that particle applicators would, as a counter-example.

Hmmmmmm.
Are we sure Chicago counts as an industrial capstone?
Also, North Boston Phase 5 plus Nuuk Phase 4+5 is 6000 points of Heavy Industry project. Remember how much trouble we had hitting a 6000-point target in Orbital for "you must build this many space stations."
I'm... hesitant. I wouldn't mind promising to finish North Boston, Reykjavik, Chicago, and Nuuk Phase 4, but Nuuk Phase 5 may be a bridge too far if there isn't a gun to our head about it.
...If Alien Alloys Deployment counts as an industrial capstone, then I will have to fully admit that have no idea what does or does not count as an industrial capstone. Which is exactly the kind of thing that makes me afraid to promise to do four of the things.
While we're at it, we don't know what the Progress requirements on Alien Alloys Deployment will be. I, for one, was significantly underestimating the requirements of the crystal beam deployment, and I wound up regretting it, since we could probably have hit the original +11 Capital Goods requirement more easily without it. Bergen Phase 3 + Anadyr + Enterprise Phase 5 + Carbon Nanotube Foundries would have been easier than what we did. Or, of course, Chicago Phase 4 could have stepped in for the nanotube foundries and Bergen.
Though having that extra +10 Energy was certainly welcome, and you won't hear me deny it.
Basically, I get why people would want it, but without a firm list of which projects do and do not qualify as "industrial capstones" and what they cost, I'm afraid to make that particular commitment. And I don't want to pester the QM about it.

I love banks, we can do them later. I do not care for Chicago. What has Chicago ever given to us? That's right! Chicago style pizza! A more horrid pizza creation has never been invented.But...

Propaganda has its time and place. This is pushing the boat out a bit even for quests.
