indeed! +50 research points. Best understated announcement in fiction.
Possibly. I'll fix the original.
To help people with planning for company stuff I've made a copy of the Finance doc that you guys can just edit to your hearts content to test out the math.
For instance I've plugged in us building three new Factory 3s which leaves us with at least 6 billion. Given how much profit we make on these new Arc Reactors that's almost certain to go up.
Edited my vote to use the IFV - UberJJK

can't start it until we have frigates researched.
Even if it's just a few hours back and forth, that's a huge time commitment for someone as busy as Revy. As well, I doubt he'd be able to get free time when in bootcamp / deployed to X.

It's just a bit silly. He's busy with his shit, we are busy with ours. We can spend time with him when we have some.
we are NOT constantly using our full strength and our brains regulate that we can't reach our full strength as our skeletal system can't take the forces.
back in 1934 when they came up with electro convulsive treatment/therapy patients muscles would regularly break bones or disconnect from the skeleton because the electric stimulation would bypass our body's safeguards.

About the biotics thing...we are Shepard, presumably we have her biotic node distribution. Doesn't mean we have that much of an advantage though, the real edge in biotics comes from skill/experience.

...and what do you want to do about that? We have overhauled THE ENTIRE SYSTEM, why would a targeted modification removing our fine motor control in exchange for brute strength the system isn't designed to handle be worth anything at all?
oh i thought you were claiming that we used our muscles at full output.

This is kinda drifting off topic, since we already have an established tech tree and this specific fix is probably included in one or another of them.
That being said, People usually don't stop exerting their muscles because they can't push harder. They usually stop because it hurts to push farther. Depending on your health, training, bone density, etc, you can push past that pain right up to where you start seriously injuring yourself.

Practically speaking, yes we do. The "full output" you are describing isn't some increase in efficiency, it's things going wrong.

Done.
Fun fact; Humanity has a population around 12 to 13 billion given Earths 11.3 billion and that most it's oldest colonies only seem to have a couple million.
So going with 12 billion at 3% service rate means roughly 360,000,000 people have serviced in the Alliance at any given time.
Now if we assume that 12 billion is spread evenly over the full 150 years a human lives that means each year 80,000,000 turn 18. Three percent of that is 2,400,000 so roughly that many people enroll every year.
The update says most people only stay in for a few years. Lets go with 5 years since IIRC the normal military contract is roughly four years with lifers dragging the average up.
That gives the Alliance a standing military force of roughly 12,000,000. Of course some of these will be support staff but I imagine the percentage is a lot lower then modern militaries thanks to VIs.

[x] All out. Produce every last arc reactor you can. Everyone wants them, everyone is willing to pay a premium, and it's not like the Alliance can't buy them on the open market if they want to keep ahead. Plus, you'll fulfil your quota ahead of time this way.

Update
Finance
->I've updated the Finance doc with a new contract representing our minimum 50k Arc Reactors at 250k each the Citadel has imposed on us. Since we are required to meet at least this threshold I figure it more accurately reflects our economic situation and should help prevent over booking our production.

Made some alterations to my plan.
Reasonings:
- our production capacity is currently fairly limited and we'll still need to produce some IFVs most likely, so for now we should stick to the letter of the agreement with the Citadel. Once we have our new factories up and running, we can sell as many Arc Reactors as we want.
- while Brian is nice, I doubt trying to maintain a relationship at this point will work. He will be extremely busy for the next year or so, with little chance of any extended interaction. Trying to keep up a romantic relationship might very well stress it to the point of breaking, which could cost Revy one of her few friends.
Better to make a clean break, and then stay friends afterwards.
- JJK's design just strikes me as the more sensible
- getting a research hero would be incredibly useful, if time consuming
- establishing our PMC early means more time to grow without people being wary, and there are plenty of ways we can use it even without access to ships
- using our currently available amount of money to fully max out our groundside production capabilities on Mindoir, and possibly building new laboratories and/or factories on Elysium. This means we'll be able to rake in truly humongous amounts of money soon.
It also needs more security, hence the hiring
- Peak Human should be a given that we just started it. Frigate should be another no-brainer, because it allows us to start building orbital shipyards, and begin revolutionizing shipping and transportation across Alliance space. The MK II suit, meanwhile, will greatly improve our personal survivability, and also give us experience with suits that include our new technologies, from the Advanced Materials and Repulsors.
