Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

Reader mode
Something something tech devs are more than the sum of their deployment projects. Pushing hover development along is important, what we learn now will make it easier to refit next gen vehicles with hover once STUs become more available because it allows the base chassis to be better designed with them in mind.

Also, micro fusion is called out as offering space tools. This may make our plan goals easier to achieve.

Lastly since it's now between Halloween and space, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that only space has tiberium modeling between the two of them. Considering all the trouble we've had with tiberium harvesting operations, I feel that modeling is mandatory and we don't know the lead time on it yet. Best to do it now.

Out of curiosity did we ever get told what the nod tech rolls got us? Or will that be in the results later?

I'm really looking forward to this turns results. If the treaty stuff is in it, it should be fascinating to see everyones reactions to it.

Especially Kanes. I have no idea what it means for him to roll a nat 100 for his reaction to the treaty but I can only assume it means he is incredibly happy for us to be willing to negotiate. Which could lead to interesting things in the future.
 
Well, either we'll do great in space, or we'll transition from the "fuck around" phase of space construction to the "find out" phase, depending on theories of how heavy dice expenditure on single versus multiple projects work out.

On the other hand, as I recall, the vote was as far in favor of Halloween several hours ago as it now is in favor of "Need My Space." We could still see another see-saw.

It may also hasten the advent of our third-generation STU-making refineries, since Nod reportedly uses repulsorplates to handle tiberium in refineries and our repulsorplates are unequal to the task.

You're not wrong. I'm hoping to catch up on modeling next turn; the reason it didn't make the cut THIS turn was the twin pressure of needing ion power and needing to do a bunch of vein mining.

Sigh...

I fear we will be down two dice in a bit. Unfortunate.

Oh well.

While I consider us going to DAE at this time to be something of a setback, it is a minor setback in practice. A slight reduction in the peak potential efficiency of conversion of Heavy Industry dice to Energy; we can live with it; it just means a few more Free dice have to go to Heavy Industry and a few less to other things.

Department of Munitions is not 'unfortunate.' It can serve a very real purpose that will benefit us considerably, even if it means less flexibility in how Military dice are converted to advancement of Military projects.

We are currently 1 die off the cap though. If we recruited another person that gave extra dice, we'd have to do this.

Yes, but there isn't much chance of us actually doing that any time soon, as far as I can tell.

You misunderstand.

I'm fine with doing it.

I'm just not fine with doing it now.

I'd much rather wait until we finished the plan goals. And in heavy industry's case, the alloys as well.

As I said, Department of Munitions will be fine; it effectively just locks us into pursuing certain specific optional projects very efficiently, as opposed to pursuing other optional projects of our choosing less efficiently.

Department of Alternate Energy will make things slightly less efficient, but in the sense of "-1 Energy per turn compared to what we could theoretically have had, starting in mid-2063." In an absolute sense, it's just not that big of a deal, and there are at least some compensations. I've gotten rather war-weary about the whole proposition, myself.

I don't mind the spinoff bureaus as long as we don't take DCC, which is just utterly ass.
 
Stray thought here - Al-Isfahani AKA Shah of Atom.

His territory is east of Karachi and he's not part of agreement. He is very likely to take nuclear potshots at our Karachi foothold.

Might be a good idea to get at least phase 1 of SADN online before we start construction?
