Angry, angry about elves.
@TheEyes - iirc, we had a Factory 1, a Factory 2, and a Factory 3. The 1 and 2 are currently being upgraded into 3s, and we are throwing down three more 3s at each of Mindoir's other two cities - for a total of 9.
Personally, I'd like to slap down another Fac 3 at our main complex so we can say we have a nice round ten on Mindoir - plus whatever we are building at our initial Elysium site.

Would calling a PMC "Renegade" ever be good marketing? Like If I were to name a security company/PMC in real life I'd never think to call it anything like that. Mind maybe I've having a failure of imagination here....

As far as free time goes... 1 action on peak human, 1 action on biotics training?
We'll of course want to start production on as many factories as Elysium can support, with the additional 10 million in security...
We've got 19 billion to spend... >.>
And we can wait a couple quarters before starting to build our shipyards, as they won't be able to produce our best quality ships for a while, and it is something of a waste to build ships that'll only be good for a few months.
@regenade: No. Very few positive connotations, and none for the government's view.

No, because one needs to be the installation of our wetware - ANI and CASIE.
Oh no. I agree with that. However saying that renegade is an inherently negative thing is flat out wrong. Revy's technically a renegade because she isn't following the normal tech path most species do.
Hm. And how many Factories can we have per city again? I guess that also begs the question of how many cities are on Elysium?
Ah, but it'll also be a staging ground for our orbital defense grid--you do know we're going to have one of those, right?
Well, Paragon 'Somethings'/Solutions sounds nice in my head. And I like the idea of having an elite covert group within said PMC called Renegade Solutions when we need someone beaten and set on fire. While thrown out an airlock.
Also we should decide if we want the Elysium branch being focused on research or production. Research, build in capital and setup something at the local universities. Planet is one of the Humans most populous and oldest iirc. Throw another dice for getting a research hero every one or few turns. Production, bunker is much harder to steal from and goods are protected. And possible chance for an admin hero we can put in charge.
EDIT:
Man this is turning into a text based turn based strategy game. So much minmaxing going on.

Sorry man, but that isn't true. Our understand of renegade is actually the incorrect one, corrupted by our association of it with Mass Effect.
A renegade is literally a deserter/betrayer (and an awesome song
) - not at all what you want associated with a merc group.I really liked Paragon Security Services though...ParSec for short. It's totally the sort of lame pun Revy would make.

She's still a renegade since she is deserting the normal tech path.

So what should we focus on researching next? Obviously we'll invest in xenobiology.
....How much should I take off my nerd card for just getting that pun.
As for research, continue down the ship route? Sorta spreading thin. We want ships to respond to that assassination attempt, biotech, and etc. I wanna get at least out yacht/frigate/Sun Crusher built first and maybe setup our expand/exploit cycle ala 4x games.

The limit was set at three before (thus the pattern) I've contemplated changing it, but haven't yet. All things told I'm fine with the limit as is.
Magic flippy coin says there are four though they are smallish for cities. Mind ~50% of Elysium's population is non-human. Also people tend to spread out a bit.
Yeah, I wish they spread out. Four cities on a planet? We have more countries than that on most of our inhabitable landmasses.
Anyway, 4 suits me just fine, thanks. That means 12 Factory IIIs.

Priority #1 is Optical Computing for the big Research boost. We should probably pick up anti-ship torpedoes, since we've been acting like we already have them. We'll follow that with AI License Prep for anti-AI software bonuses, Flawless Blackboxing, and... well here's my list.

Harbringer of Questionable Plays
I liked the idea TheEyes had for the research plan. Creating AI would be the best way to make a big change in the Mass Effect universe and prepare us for the coming threats. The amount of work friendly AI could do in helping advance society is huge and we'd also probably unlock a hero by creating them.
Yeah, I wish they spread out. Four cities on a planet? We have more countries than that on most of our inhabitable landmasses.
They only have a permanent population of ~8 million (probably less as that's a figure from a decade in the future). I wonder at the sanity of that but I didn't write ME did I?
I think the writers brain farted on their billions and millions... Seriously total human population could colonize three planets with room to spare. Meh...
(Darn it where's my apathetic smiley? Eh its not that important)

Yeah I want Renegade Solutions as our PMC name as well. I likes it alot.
Okay, so here's my current pre-alpha Action Plan. Not an official vote yet, but should provide an avenue for discussion:
[O] Plan TheEyes v 0.3 alpha
Update Actions:
Invest in security? 1 million per building per quarter (amount will be the same for any "high security" buildings)
[O] Yes
-[O] Note: (46 million with current Plan)
[ ] No
[O] Some other amount (More for better security!)
-[O] See drone defenses, below.
Who do you want to get your PMC license from?
[O] Systems Alliance (1.5 million in total fees)
[O] Citadel (1 million in fees)
-[O] Yes, this does mean we register in both SA and Citadel registries.
[ ] The Terminus (Free because there is no license!)
[ ] Don't start a PMC
PMC Name?
[O] Paragon Security Services: aka ParSec
Who will you pursue? (Choose one)
[ ] Gala Da'van
[ ] Jenzel Fend nar Rayya
[O] Gaver Dor
[ ] No one
Will you try to acquire anything? (Choose one)
[ ] Starship parts (200 million credits, 100 points to next level of starship tech, Bradley now gets 265,000 per Production)
[O] Ship weapons components (400 million credits, 200 points to next level of MAC tech, Bradley now gets 260,000 per Production)
[ ] Nothing
Do you want to grab one of the sites?
[?] Underground base is go! (Security bonus, additional costs 20 million)
[ ] Big site (+1 factory slot)
[?] Nah, stay in/near the capital
-[?] Look into building a barrier big enough for our lab complex, or even the city itself.
[ ] Actually let's not expand to Elysium.
What type of interview? (You can if you wish review any type of interview before publication.)
[O] Video
[ ] Audio
[ ] Text
Where will you do the interview?
[ ] Over the extranet
[O] At the Paragon Industries complex
[ ] At your home
What got you into science and engineering in the first place?
[ ] Write-in
Where did the idea for the Legionary armor come from?
[ ] Write-in
What can you tell us about the arc-reactor (and/or other PI technologies)?
[ ] Keep it vague.
[ ] Basic layman's explanation
[O] Basic technical details.
-[O] But only of stuff that we've already released to the public; don't add in any new info here.
What do you think the effects of the arc-reactor will be on society?
[ ] Write-in
And on the military?
[ ] Write-in
What should we expect to see next from Paragon Industries?
[ ] Write-in
-[O] Show off our Peak Human tech, mention how it builds off of genemodding tech we're releasing through Sirta.
Who's you favorite historical scientist?
[ ] Write-in
What will you do?
[ ] Pay (500 million credits)
[ ] Keep investigating without the information
-[ ] How much will you spend?
[O] Stop investigating
-[O] This is starting to become a waste of our time and money. Thank the Shadow Broker agent for his/her time, but the information is just not worth what he or she is trying to charge.
What shall we do?
[ ] Sell a few large arc-reactors to Eldfell-Ashland Energy
-[ ] How many, in what power and at what price?
[ ] Sell/Donate to The Post Scarcity Society
-[ ] Donate (How many of what power?)
-[ ] Don't Donate
[ ] Give the Turian Hierarchy a discount on their bulk order(s)
-[ ] How Much?
[O] None of the above
-[O] Insufficient manufacturing capacity in 2173-Q3; table this idea for next quarter/FY.
Company Actions:
[O] Start that Private Military Company. Allocate 200 million for extra-large barracks, admin building, and training facilities.
-[O] Hire legal, admin, and marketing teams for our PMC. Set new teams to work gauging market demand for our services.
-[O] Once we have spare fab cycles (in other words, next quarter, when we're looking to hire), pro-actively start manufacturing Legionary suits and Tiger vehicles w/ full loadouts, so we can have our security/PMC forces start working with them as soon as they are hired.
[O] Expand our partnership with Sirta to include enhancement services for Magi Biotic Amp, basic/advanced neural interface implants and Peak Human treatment, when available. Toss ~1 billion in here to jump-start building/retrofitting more hospitals/clinics on Earth and colonies.
-[O] For now, charge what the market will bear for Magi Biotic Amp, neural interface, and Peak Human treatments. Funnel all of our profits into subsidized genetic medicine for the poor/needy/disabled (Note: this includes relief for L2 biotics with severe health problems related to their implants).
[O] Patent the Repulsor in Alliance space. Same deal as with the Arc Reactor before, and with the same expectation, that we will eventually be going to the Citadel with it within a few years.
[O] Add drone defenses to all lab complexes and manufacturing plants (65 million for 13 existing buildings)
-[O] Build our own drones --call them Auxilia? Lancearii?
--[O] Allocate the remaining ~24 production for the quarter, plus 5 million credits per facility to making said drones.
-[O] Show off our new Deathbots to Kasumi
--[O] Apologize that there are no chainsaw katanas.
[O] Start our Lab complexes on Elysium (Lab I & Research I) (40 million)
-[O] Shut down Shifting Development's facilities on Watson and move the personnel to Midnoir. Our new Hero administrator will move to Elysium when the lab complex is complete.
-[O] Build on-site Barracks and hire 10 security teams for the construction site, to be expanded to 20 upon completion of labs.
-[O] Set up quarterly bulk transport of one-time pads for secure comm encryption from headquarters to factories (allocate 2 million per factory per quarter for data disk manufacture, generation of random one-time pads, and secure shipping), and for bi-directional data transfer between lab complexes (allocate 4 million per lab complex per quarter)
--[O] Note that since quantum computing is already a thing in the ME universe, we can actually store qubits in some sort of persistent storage, ship them to our destination, and read them at the destination, effectively doing QKD by courier.
[O] Let's make twelve Factory IIIs (12 billion) and a small shipyard in geostationary orbit over our main lab complex in Midnoir (5 billion)
-[O] Build on Midnoir until we've hit our limit, then start on Elysium.
-[O] Build on-site Barracks and hire 5 security team per city, plus 10 teams for the orbital platform, to be expanded to 10 upon completion of factories / 20 for spaceport. Start with hardsuits, and expand to Legionary suits as fab cycles become available (70 million)
-[O] Shipyard will also serve as orbital defense platform, if allowed by Midnoir government (construct using advanced materials, add over-sized GARDIAN array, anti-ship missiles, very large high-density kinetic barrier array, and repulsor engines and ME core for advanced maneuvering capabilities) (+??? cost)
[O] Hire more investigative teams this quarter, to handle the following:
-[O] Get our people to start looking into the AI research issue. How did the five companies licensed to research AI secure the rights? Who do we need to lobby? Who is going to be most against us? Etc etc.
-[O] Have our people look into starting a construction company, or at least putting together a construction and maintenance division at PI. These days we're just building constantly, and since we're doing it constantly it's better, more efficient, and more secure to just hire/vet a permanent construction crew.
-[O] Have our people look into the legalities of arming our (under construction) orbital shipyard for use as a planetary defense platform.
-[O] Have our people look into other expansion opportunities; I want to be able to start building factories and labs as soon as we have the cash. Maybe Terra Nova next? Beckenstein would be a good place to plonk down Factory IIIs exclusively to make Arc Reactors for Citadel races.
-[O] Have our people look into proactive recruitment. We may be coming up against the limit of how many ex-Marines we can hire, so we may need to start an Academy of sorts to train new security personnel.
[O] Hire marketing teams for new products and services:
-[O] Develop and prepare to sell Arcane Blur stealth armor for fighters, Tiger IFVs, and upgrades to weapons/armor systems for current Alliance hardware.
-[O] Develop and prepare to sell Veles civilian-grade armor, developed in Slayer Anderson's omake. None is military-grade, so it can be sold to all Citadel races (pending legal approval). Include options for nonlethal weapons, Sagitta mounts, and wrist-mounted SMGs, especially for the larger variations.
--[O] Will probably need to hire additional marketing teams and design teams to compete effectively in the civilian market.
-[O] How did that game design come out? Can we hire a creative team to continue development on these lines, maybe spin off a subsidiary focused on code products (games, VIs, etc)?
--[O] Set up a division responsible for working with VIs. We already have code-monkeys - organize them, get more, and put them to work. Our improved algorithms are a major breakthrough, with dozens of applications even if we don't want to freely distribute our full-fledged Security systems and the like. This division will be responsible for creating VIs and operating systems for a variety of products: military, police, medical, industrial, and commercial. Other companies can build their products, and license a Paragon Industries VI/OS to run them. We can have standard line to replace some widely used ones for common products, we can create specific ones on request, etc.
Total spent: 18,843,500,000 and 24 production
Total available: 19,456,630,100 and 24 production
Total new hires:
-45 new security teams (Hire ex-Marines and other ex-military, ex-LEOs as much as possible)
-4 marketing teams
-1 admin/HR team
-1 legal team
-10 VI programmer teams
Research -- will allocate dice later.
[O] Optical Computing 751
[O] Anti-ship torpedoes 400
[O] Liara's Prothean Artifact 100
[O] AI License Prep - overflow
Personal Actions
[O] Biotics training/exercise with Rahna. Consider hiring a Turian/Asari/Salarian biotic tutor, but keep Rahna around to keep everyone honest. Maybe the two of them could work out better ways to train human biotics, taking into account species and cultural differences with humans.
[O] Brain surgery for fun and profit: install Advanced Neural Interface and CASIE Implant. Peak Human too, but keep the changes modest here. You're looking for more endurance, speed, and clarity of thought, not to look like a female bodybuilder, or even to significantly change your body type.
-[O] To make the most of the CASIE implant, make a detailed study of debate, forensics (NOT forensic science), and interviewing techniques. You are quickly becoming a public figure; you need to learn how to deal with journalists and politicians.
-[O] Get Peak Human treatments for family, esp. for dad, and implants if they want them. Call it an early birthday present, let Dad make the mind-rending joke that it's more like an anniversary gift to each other.
-[O] Ask mom and others about military regs for soldier boosts. Can we take care of Brian's boosts (eg. slip Peak Human, maybe an ANI implant) in as a substitute to his regulation soldier boosts?

Yeah, I wish they spread out. Four cities on a planet? We have more countries than that on most of our inhabitable landmasses.
Anyway, 4 suits me just fine, thanks. That means 12 Factory IIIs.
It's a colony, and they're not trying to cram worlds full of colonists. Maxing out the population and filling up the land isn't the point.They only have a permanent population of ~8 million (probably less as that's a figure from a decade in the future). I wonder at the sanity of that but I didn't write ME did I?
I think the writers brain farted on their billions and millions... Seriously total human population could colonize three planets with room to spare. Meh...
Also, TheEyes, you're comparing more than 5000 years of being populated with 20 years.
Van Ropen
Angry, angry about elves.
@TheEyes - You said that's don't have the industrial capacity for any of those options in Q3...but aren't these vote for things happening over Q4?
Like, even if we spoke with them earlier, that doesn't mean delivery has to be immediate. We donated an ISAR to that other project on a timetable.

Well sure, but in this case we don't have to commit right now, so let's not commit until we know something isn't going to come up later that we'd rather spend our money on. That said, the only one of these options I actually like is the donation to the Post Scarcity Society. We can start our own power plants if we want to, and we shouldn't get in the habit of giving anyone a discount, even the Turians, especially right now when we need every last credit to re-invest into expanding our manufacturing capacity.
Also, sending up a GM flare: @Hoyr
How much cost will this add to a shipyard:
