Since I have some free time and a desire to do more Shepard Quest stuff I thought I'd get started on the plan for the next update's vote.
Update:
Finance Doc
-> Updated ParSec numbers to match those listed in the
most recent update.
Citadel Races - Arc Reactors:
[] Switch from Gen I Arc Reactors to Gen II Arc Reactors -
175,000,000,000cr + 1,125,000cr
We save 175 billion credits and free up 1,125,000pr.
Systems Alliance - Pynda Order:
[] Do not lower Arc Reactor production (59 Light Laser Pynda's constructed) -
977,079,589,000cr
(2,503,431.00pr + 1,125,000cr) / 61,177.810pr per LLP = 59.31 LLPs = 59 LLPs
Remaining Free Production = 18,936.65pr
Internal Production:
[] Resupplying ParSec -
5,530,300,000cr + 16,239.4pr

Personnel:
[] Triple the Income of Staff -
1,140,840,000cr (ongoing)

-[] Triple the income of all Biotic Academy Staff - 180,000,000cr (ongoing)
It's a rather simple and short plan compared to past plans but that is because the vast majority of our production is being gobbled up by LLP production and our cash is being saved for next quarter's (with this plan we should have 3.9 trillion credits next quarter) Project Earthfall. I've probably forgotten a bunch of things since I haven't gotten around to re-reading the quest just yet. That is part of the reason I decided to start work on a plan so early; so other people can help remember things I've forgotten.
There's a difference between not small for a corporation, and not small for a nation. And no government that isn't already broken is going to let a corp get to the point where they can act on the same scale as a nation without a serious fight or a way to control them. Because then, they aren't the government anymore. If you want to fight the Reapers (and whatever else I come up with) on your own, you have to be at the nation scale, and just a small nation. You can do that on your own, but it will mean essentially becoming an independent polity. I'd be up for that, because that's cool and interesting, but I'm not sure the thread wants to go there.
Well then we are going to have some issues with the Alliance
really soon. We're already at the point where we've got the military forces to (theoretically) rebel:
Oh and on purely military terms we could successfully rebel against the government. Which by some definitions makes us a Megacorp. Congrats I guess. Though that'd be a really dumb idea. Most of our armed forces are more loyal to the Systems Alliance than us.
but our mass production of LLPs for the Alliance will stop that.
Even setting that aside however by
next year Pargaon Industries' annual income will be about 13% of the Alliance's GDP, well technically less since we bring money into the Alliance and thus raise it's GDP, and we will have both the facilities and finances necessary to outperform the Alliance military
full stop. Well they would have bigger ships then us since we don't have the research for building anything bigger then Cruisers yet IIRC but technicalities like that don't really matter here.
That being said it's not like this situation isn't without parallel. Samsung represents 17% of South Korea's GDP and produces a full
20% of the nation's exports.
