im curious hero,our birth rates given we took the "encourage having babies and develop institutions to care for them"
How high do you think our birt rates are?
2 kids per couple,5,11?
And do you think healthcare will increase (people having more kids over time as they live longer) or slow it (people taking longer before having kids as they can afford to wait)?

I just know I'm going to regret this later, but it needs to be done. Best start as we intend to continue and accept AP hell as the sacrifice.
These wounds they will not heaaaaaaaal.
At least--I think--with this, our protection against Chaos' most common entry vectors is complete though? Ordinary diseases don't get a chance to turn to epidemics, people are content with their lives with plenty of fulfillment without going into decadence, and we've gotten a good culture to respect our soldiers without delving into insane bloodlust? We're ambitious and hoping for things to get better, but we have plenty of structure that prevents us from falling into a backstabbing fit too.
I wonder if the hypothetical All-5 trait would be just an upgrade to our Resistance then? Cottoning off on all the choices we made up until now?

I just really want to get out of this AP hell, and the less we're mired inn that the more likely it will be for us to advanced to Med X

I want to lean into how we've been pretty equal as far as every species we've got, and provide a general level of care

Dunno, high birthrates most likely. No less than 3 per couple.
And better healthcare will absolutely increase birth-rates. People, for some reason, like to bump uglies when they aren't dying of some horrible disease or are missing 95% of their body by mass. Dunno why.

Ah, by the way, here we go with what I've gotten as a very poor, top-down sketch of the Leo-primus and its general layout.
As you can see, it's maybe 15-17% the width of it's length, but that's what happens when you have a 600 m width on a 4.6km length. The idea is that most of the critical infrastructure is concentrated in the rear of the ship, like the bridge and the reactor and all that, while the forward section (Which is expected to take the largest beating simply by way of its weapons layout) is primarily its fighting section. This mimics the "All-or-Nothing" armoring scheme used in the USN as of World War II, where you concentrate the stuff your ship can't operate without in a relatively small area and give it disproportionately high protection, while things that the ship could survive without are given only what is required to do their job. This allows the ship to sustain absurd amounts of damage just because the only way to critically hit it is to punch through its most well protected area, when a good 70% of the hull is technically expendable.
The weapons batteries are arranged so that their firing arcs slightly overlap dead ahead, which allows it to punch up severely against ships that can't outmaneuver it. This compensates for its relatively lacking per-shot firepower due to lacking lance weapons or torpedoes at this juncture by being able to hose down a target with a squadron's worth of light-cruiser grade macrobattery fire, which is enough that anything short of a Grand Cruiser will be uncomfortably tugging its collar and trying to get out of that killbox instead of trying to slug it out. This does come at the cost of it losing the ability to fire directly to its sides and roughly 30 degrees aft of its starboard and port arcs, but given the comparably high agility of the Leo-primus and the fact it's not intended to be deployed as a solo agent (And thus, can count on the presence of corvettes or heavy frigates to cover its flanks) makes this a fair price to pay.
Naturally, Light Cruisers and escorts that end up in either of its firing arcs will not remain that way for long, because each one is functionally belching out 3 heavy macrocannon batteries at a time. It has enough agility to roll the hull to present the opposite battery while reloading if need be, or to engage multiple targets at a given time. Finally, it has a protected keel hangar to deploy assault boats to launch hit-and-run and opportunistic boarding raids on enemy ships, making use of the combination of our better equipped infantry and the generally deplorable state of Imperial counter-boarding outside of their Sheer Ruthlessness to really fuck things up.

I'm sorry, but the only way I'll allow you to take this with Batteries instead of Turrets is if you intentionally add the [Weak Prow] and [Exposed Back] Detriments, which will increase damage taken from the front to show the compromises in armor and structure needed to make overlapping fields of fire over [Long Range] and the fact it won't be able to shoot at targets near its rear-half without severely dedicating itself to do so.
If you want overlapping fields of fire as indicated, use turrets.

Alright, fair enough, I'll make that adjustment.
Sorry for how abominable the art is! I am not very talented at art!
