As a Heart Tree sapling I'm going to go with the shield. Hopefully the shard volley will help keep things out as well.

Added sorting, dice thresholds, and annotations. Note the bolded bits.
In particular:
- I'm not certain wether Ready a Shard Volley actually works against attacks this turn or only maintains our screen for next turn.
- We're still overkilling ECM research a lot - Mind Trees may want to consider switching away from that one to Predators or finding SWD. I'd do it myself, but I'm still trying to see if there's a tree specialization for Gravity Research.
- We're not yet meeting the threshold for the Predators.
- Root Trees may want to consider voting for Soothe over the Laser. The latter is very efficiently gaining a lot of successes from Focus votes, while the Katown are vulnerable to the former.

Unfortunate that there does not appear to be enough dice between ECM research and Solar-Winds-Distant to do both reliably. We'd need about 20~30 dice to pull that off (reliably that is).
 
On the other hand, we have more than enough to ask solar winds for help, if we devoted any more to it. I know some have objected because they think we'd be forced into debt without another vote, but if SWD does something to help and names a price after, what exactly can they do to force us to pay?

They either deal fairly or get no payment at all. I see no reason not to ask and see what a scout who has been doing espionage on the kattown can offer.

[] Request assistance from Solar-Winds-Distant.

    Annoyingly, if we collapsed asking for assistance into finding SWD, we could probably finish it this turn. As it is, I have to hope for another combat turn if we want to get it done with the 150 sux discount.
     
    That is, indeed, a wrap!

    The targeting vote summary has been added to the voting threadmark, as it was not previously visible there (as far as I could tell).

    Probably should've asked this earlier, but how does Readying a Shard Volley work? Does it go towards the volley we'll release this turn, or will we release the current stock then work towards restocking the next one?

    You release the current stock then work towards restocking the next one. 'Launch a Shard Volley' works immediately.

    I thought I had already joined but I can't find any previous posts in this thread and I don't see myself in the registry post.
