I'll also say I've got a sweet spot for
[] Plan Fortress Doctrine
because it would be nice to have some more knights. We're going to run into superheavies eventually - such as down south - and having our own ready to go will make that a lot less painful when it does eventually happen. But from a strategic sense, taking Voxx is more important. We gotta focus on our real priorities here, and rely on the automatic Knight ticker.
Though I kind of can't help but lament all of the opportunities we haven't had because of the Voxx infiltration stuff.

Cooky doubled the Knight Production Rate from 4 War-Packs to 8, but only for this turn-unlike the SAGs, which we can now make 6 of instead of 3, the Knights boost will revert if we don't take it this turn, presumably because we're unlocking some kind of Automated Knight Production ticker next turn (which we will likely also neglect for 2 centuries or so cause 'we don't need it right now) by Cooky's decree.

...the point of an automatic progression is that even if we neglect it we'll still get at least some Knights.

...Do we even have a foreign intelligence agency? Formally? Or at least a body responsible for that? It'd be useful to have an organization plugging away at intelligence projects in the background.

But yeah, we specifically when we skipped doing Voxx Primus one action every two decades were told that they'd hold on but that it'd do damage/slow down their ability to expand meaningfully, but that it could be recovered if there's an action every three turns.
Now, it being two turns after the last Voxx Primus action we did, I point out that this is in fact the pace we need to do Voxx Primus actions at if we don't want it to specifically suffer.
We've also been told to our face that conquering Voxx Primus will be massively, outrageously harder if we don't have an ongoing insurrection to help us.

My reading of what Cooky said earlier in the day was that the Knight Automation will be an action we have to invest in to get the process started, available to us next turn, and I have somewhat dubious faith in the thread to actually pick it since we've let Destroyer Automatic Production languish for like 300 years.
If I'm wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised, but even then if it's a faster rate of progress than our Melodies to get new Knights I'll be incredibly shocked.

This turn we are currently voting on is the second turn since we last did a Vox Prime action, so if we push back the one you propose for this turn to next turn then we're still within the 'at least one action every 30 years/3 turns' window Cooky gave us for keeping things rolling at a decent pace on the planet.
I agree that we want to wait until we've got massive amounts of support from the lower hive denizens of Vox Prime, but I don't personally see any need to rush things there to the detriment of strengthening ourselves in other areas that will be helpful for things past conquering a single hive world.

Rolling at a decent pace isn't how I'd see it described. It was literally that it would suffer and would grow measurably and notably slower, but wouldn't die or anything like that.
Like... once every two turns isn't fucking rushing ourselves!
By the way, that's not even REMOTELY what what HeroCooky said came off as. The post he rated where I suggested it was comparing it to the Chapter, where they automatically got progress every turn whether we took them or not!

Allow me to quote HeroCooky from the last time we neglected Voxx Primus.
We're already talking about a timeframe of, "With an action every other turn it'll probably be 2-3 centuries, maybe more" and you're like, "Oh yeah, we should change to doing it every three decades"

As a complete aside, Melodies wise, I think we'd really want Grounding sooner or later.
Because it sounds like the perfect tool for handling backlash Choirs face, and allow them to try bigger rituals without dying.
Stuff like "one Choir throws a big fire spell that would char their lungs, but there is another 3 Choirs to ground that into a comfortable body-wide 2nd degree burn for everyone involved" type of deal, possibly.
Or, you know, allowing us to throw 20 Choirs at the Research Song. Would be nice.
Could even unlock some kind of psychic grounding rod kinda thing. "Light resistance to psychic backlash", maybe ship equipment, allowing our wizards to go unlimited power without rolling a full bucket of dice on the miscast table.
It has potential to be mitigate our main headaches, Song-wise.
