    Tier I Colony (Town)

    Clawpair Construction Projects:
    1 Action Available

    Tier I Projects:
    [ ][Clawpair] Build a Manufacturing Plant
    The factories built in the last year are a good start, but true orbital shipyards are going to require more components than that. Continue the expansion program.
    Cost: 50 Raw Materials, 10 Modules, 1 Action
    Adds Manufacturing: 20 Raw Materials -> 10 Modules

    [ ][Clawpair] Expand Reclamation Programs

    Cost: 50 Raw Materials, 1 Action
    Adds Nonrenewable Resource Extraction: 50/Year

    [ ][Klaxis] Build a Silo
    We have plenty of storage right now, but if we plan to expand our operations additional ore silo or two wouldn't go amiss.

    Cost: 100 Raw Materials, 5 Actions
    Promotes all members of the original crew of the Carcina to Hero Units.

    [ ][Klaxis] Construct the Directorate Labsphere [EMPIRE UNIQUE]
    The heart of the Directorate is the Science Board: an assembly of the most qualified scientists in a hundred fields, gathered from the most prestigious labs into a single carefully-designed decision structure. It is the government that has guided us to a unified world, that has led us into orbit, and now will journey to the stars.

    Yet, there is no single laboratory complex where these great minds may collaborate. Their fields are too disjoint, their subjects of study too scattered. The world conspires against their assembly: the most convenient path would be to let them each lead their own lab.

    To hell with convenience. We will bring the science to them. We will build a city of labs, a great glass sphere deep beneath the oceans, and there the Directors will create the future of our species.

    Cost: 1000 Raw Materials, 500 Modules. Max contribution 200 Raw Materials and 100 Modules/Year. 5 actions/contribution.
    Generates 1 additional General Research action per turn, and increases the chance of Rare techs being drawn.

    Has the previous vote locked?

    And then we come to the fun part. Which of these plans do you guys want to do? I've marked the one I prefer.

    [ ] Plan Future Proofing
    -[ ][Clawpair] Expand Reclamation Programs​
    -[ ][Klaxis] Build a Fuel Refinery
    -[ ][Klaxis] Commit to Sustainability
    -[ ] Change Klaxis 10 Raw Material Export to 10 Reaction Mass

    This plan's about making sure we can have the ship exploring as much as possible, as well as continuing to improve our total permanent resource income. It also means that Clawpair no longer needs to import Raw Material to keep expanding, leaving that amount of import for other tasks. Which in this case is changed to making sure we'll never run out of Reaction Mass for exploring at current costs. (Not researching, just exploring.)

    [X] Plan Preparing for Exploration
    -[X][Clawpair] Expand Reclamation Programs
    -[X][Klaxis] Construct the Jumpdrive Monument [EMPIRE UNIQUE]

    This plan however means next turn we should be able to have our Starship push boundaries without significant worries. After all, having them all heroes mean they're basically Starfleet officers, and we all know that Starfleet Officers always fix the problem before they die. :p

    Whichever plan's not taken, I'd say we should do next year. You can of course, make your own. Just... Please consider these?

    Oh, and @veekie ? Did you read the costs for your action? Clawpair currently has 60 Raw Material in storage, out of a cap of 100. Your action requires a total of 1000 Raw Materials, paid at up to 200 Raw Material a year. It's more efficient to maximise Material Production on Clawpair, then start improving Raw Material Storage whilst we build up Raw Material production on Klaxis, and the export capacity to set it up. It'll probably be completed at least as fast as if we started now... But more likely, we'd actually complete it sooner.

    You know we need to get the materials up there with our 60 unit budget and 15 raw material production, right? tldr same end point as what pyro hawk said, but by transportation cap.

    Remember that we'll probably end up redirecting the telescope's attention eventually.
    We likely should do another reclamation expansion next turn.

    Which will give us 20/25 resources a turn. Which means that it will take a really long time build the city, at least until 3005 if asteroid mining opens up new resource gathering methods. (which will probably cost modules and fuel to exploit)
    At least on land, I'd like it if we increased our net module production to 100. I care more about the development of improved manufacturing and research opportunities than I do for exploration. Exploration only matters because we can eventually exploit what we discover. We cannot yet send colony or mining ships to do that.

    @Evenstar Is the +5 Clawpair Raw Production boost from the telescope permanent to represent better maps of the orbital debris field, or is it just temporary for this turn only to represent 'We guided the salvage teams to their targets more effectively this year'?

    Because that's... Rather important.

    @Evenstar Maybe a dumb question, but what do heroes do?

    Heroes are player characters. They get a full set of stats, a backstory, and the camera is allowed to follow them.

    In short: Heroes get access to the SV Hivemind. That's why there's a sharply limited number of them - only one per inhabited planet, barring those created by truly monumental achievements.

    If our Starship crew dies as we make them Heroes... Well, I'm pretty sure that our future colonies will never need to artificially make their oceans salt water. They'll have plentiful supplies of salt just waiting to go. It might cause some slight dimensional tearing and the occasional space-time fracture, but I'm sure that won't be a problem! :p :D XD
     
    Year 3001, Proxima Jaxus B: Crisis Turn 1

    • Directorate Jumpship Carcina
    Proxima Jaxus B
    Priority Log, Commander Xaxah Kertas
    Ship's Date 263 of Year 3001

    We have come out of warp after just over two days in translation. Initial scans of the system confirm presence of a habitable planet at the inner edge of the habitable zone. Atmosphere is thin and cold, but oxygen is present. Said habitable planet has a moon with denser atmosphere, and scans indicate that this moon is significantly warmer and host to an abundance of flora.

    This is irrelevant. There is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit around the second planet, a world with an ammonia-primary atmosphere. Passive sensors indicate that the satellite is radiating heat and about ten times the size of our own vessel. The best fit to the available data is that this is an alien space station.

    Ship's Engineer Chitaka is arguing that we should scan the potential-habitat to be certain what we are dealing with, while her spawnmate, Drive Engineer Chitaka, is arguing for us to leave immediately. Pilot Tach is silent, as is usual for him during these kinds of discussions.

    If this is a habitat, scanning it will undoubtedly alert whoever or whatever is on it to our presence. However, the data gained could be invaluable. If it is not a habitat, leaving now will unnecessarily abbreviate our mission, and cause unwarranted panic on Klaxis Prime.

    I have ordered that we will:
    [ ] Scan the anomalous satellite with our active sensors.
    [ ] Immediately leave the system.
    [ ] Write-in.

    Also if our ship can travel 10 LY in 70 hours why is exploration decided on a year by year scale?

    And probably because they need to do a lot of checking of the starship to make sure nothing's gone wrong or will go wrong.
     
    [X] Scan the anomalous satellite with our active sensors.

    Though, could we take a wide berth around that planet and scan the rest of the system first? It'd likely mean using more fuel, but depending on how/if any potential inhabitants respond, we may not have time to get that data otherwise.

    Priority Log, Commander Xaxah Kertas
    Ship's Date 263 of Year 3001

    Initial scan reports are now coming back. The station - and it is unmistakably a space station - is surrounded by a loose crowd of autonomous robotic craft, each about four times the size of an adult Klaxes. They produce no detectable drive emissions as they move, which they do with startling adroitness. Their general form is diamond-shaped, and they are executing series of complex maneuvers within an area marked by a grid of sixteen small asteroids. Ship's Engineer Chitaka is practically salivating at the technology on display, but Pilot Tach has begun to click his claws. The implications of a Warp-faring race with superior drive technology to ours are not lost on him.

    The station itself is spherical and nonrotating, unlike the cylindrical form of Clawpair Orbital. Either they have artificial gravity, or they are comfortable in null-gee conditions. Thermals are hard to pick up through the unknown alloy of the station hull, but the rate of radiation off the hull suggests a species that prefer much higher temperatures than the Klaxes. As of yet, we have not noticed any change in their behaviour that would indicate they detected our scan.

    I have ordered the crew to...
    [ ] Attempt to communicate by radio, though we have no First Contact package prepared. If their translation technology is as advanced as their drones, we want to open diplomatic channels immediately.
    [ ] Continue scanning the station in hopes of isolating a life sign. Even if we cannot, the additional data will be useful.
    [ ] Move on from this remarkable discovery and finish scanning the rest of the system. We have a mission to complete.
    [ ] Prepare for immediate translation back to Warp. The Directorate must be informed as soon as possible.

    No point in scanning the rest of the system, really. The orbital is non-literally in the way of future development.
    Probably won't learn much more by scanning the drones and so forth, so we might as well just go back and tell home base so we/they
