I'm leaning towards civilian void industry, personally. Having a robust merchant-marine that can both keep our domain unified via consistent interaction and support various larger-scale state actions would be extremely valuable.
 
At the same time, I just don't trust that we're going to get a chance to actually make our standard of living better... and if in three-hundred years we get the next level of it (unlikely that it'd be so soon) I honestly don't trust the thread to give a shit about Standard of Living if they're rejecting it this early, tbh. :V

I know, which is why it's annoying that it's one or the other >_<

"You can have a robust merchant marine, or a high standard of living, pick one"

it high living standard levels in comparison to standard imperium world we be getting so it still not gonna be that great
 
Honestly, I almost feel like it's just "First World Country middle-class, 21st century living conditions as your baseline" in this case.
 
Which honestly would be all we need? That's kinda all most people need. Yes, we could also use better medicine/etc than 21st century, but that's behind Medical Infrastructure.

So I don't think it's something where we'd feel required to take it twice.
 
yeah, picking the first level of prosperity will be pretty snazzy, and pay off the more the quicker we pick it.

Especially because it seems to me that the problem is distribution at and beyond that point. Unevenly distributed living standards hypothetical (if you imagine they'll just endlessly sci-fi advance) centuries ahead of "21st century living standards" would be more painful for most people to live in than fairly distributed "21st century living standards."
 
Yeah, I think despite the lack of mechanical benefits, Prosperity is the best for our first Civ Infrastructure gain.
 
Even "21st century" standards of living are leagues better than standard Imperial QoL.

Better yet, Chaos's job becomes that much harder than it already is with trying to corrupt us since most of our civies will be both properly fed and given appropriate housing, therefor, it'll be that much harder to tempt them when the people they want to put them against are actually giving a shit about they're standards of living.
 
And yeah, as I said, scarcity in an interpersonal sense is more a matter of distribution than actual lack.

(Obviously scarcity in a societal sense, in a, "Oh, so not everyone gets to own their own battleship?!" sense, is a very real thing at that level.)
 
It'll also help mitigate our future expansion too, maybe not actively, but it does mean that even hostile planets become only a slight hit to our econ to integrate. And it'll scale up nicely as well.

Yeah, let's go with Prosperity. Get our baseline up to scratch, and we can build up from there.

Our Standards would rise from standard Imperial to "levels rarely seen among standard Imperial Garden Worlds".
We'd be outdoing the planets that the rich and powerful of wh40k are going to vacations for.

Chyron must be so confused/baffled.

Turns out when you're not wasting 90% of your economy on vanity projects and sustaining shit that you can't sustain, there's a lot to spare for your civilian markets!
