(Also, Assassinating Shu Mai is an auto-success so y'know).
And it requires an Intrigue action that would be better spent on Grassroots or Bad Moon or almost literally anything else in the Intrigue category.

Meanwhile, We should have a Stewardship action free to just Oust her in the next turn or two. Drop PR-1 and/Talesan on it and presto, she's gone.
 
WHAT HAS THIS QUEST BECOME?! Aside from complete insanity as usuall. All just because back in the day I was so terribly generous on the crit results.

You did a wonderful job in setting the stage for us owning the galaxy, if it's any consolation. And the best part is that none of the other players in the big game have any idea of our true reach!
 
Hell, their even in Lego Starwars. Man for the longest time I had no idea what the hell those things were...

They're not actually harmful, they just don't care about the physical world. To quote their leader:

"We manage to keep busy," he said. "We meditate... and think... and consider... and concentrate. It's a full day!"

Of course Jabba does employ some corrupt ones to act as spies... or administer the worst punishment he has and have you forcefully conscripted into the Order.

Don't worry, you'll learn how to stop screaming without a mouth within a year. Then after you reach enlightenment or the end of time, whichever comes first, they'll let you off your shelf.

Unless you are Bib Fortuna. Then you just get rid of a rival of yours, put your own brain into his body while stuffing HIS brain into the spider walker and then become a Crimelord now that Jabba is dead because you knew how it worked and how to restart it.
 
Thanks to this discussion of the B'omarr, I've also found a species that would be incredibly useful if we managed to recruit them: The Shi'ido. Shapeshifters that can take any shape at all sounds very very useful. There was even a Shi'ido Sith lord on Tython at one point who created a cyborg virus using Mechu-deru and Sith alchemy.

...wait....*looks at roll list. Compared to actions*...
Uh, guys? Is there a reason we didn't continue the Foundry assault? I mean, 501st is nice and all, but robotic hordes kinda depend on actually having time to build the hordes...which already takes time to cap and restore the factory. So...why aren't we trying to take that as fast as possible?

We did take the foundry action.

Here's the winning plan:

We did do the Foundry. It doesn't use a singular normal roll.

Okay, so, the biggest barrier to plan making is the base upgrades and finances, plain and simple. Managing our finances is a seemingly daunting task what with the massive list and myriad bonuses, even if the basics are moderately accessible. While @Void Stalker's spreadsheet is great for ROI, it's no true accounting book, which I imagine a lot of people would feel more at ease with having.

A few notes, as my spreadsheet wizardry skills are a bit rusty so this probably could be a bit more user-friendly, but so be it.

1) Watch the sums when you add lines. Make sure they stay synced, it can be a bit finicky. Tripped me up once or twice along the way.

2) Use the "insert cells and shift down" option, not the insert rows option, at least for the top part of the sheet. It lets you add lines on one half of the sheet without making gaps in the planetary totals side.

3) Yes, I realize that on the bases with no developments for that category, the sum function includes the gap cells. This is to make the sum function include a range, to make it easier when items are eventually added.

4) The income bonuses (except the Munn, thank god) are additive across categories. That means when Coruscant has a 20% increase across the board, and we have a 60% increase to Silver Cross income, the multiplier is 1.8, not a 1.2 to the Coruscant total then a 1.6 to the overall sum. This was annoying as fuck to realize. Keep this in mind when making changes, and when estimating the increase from such bonuses.

5) I have not updated this to include this turn's changes yet.

6) As I just went off the list on the front page, there are undoubtedly some things missing if there are effects not listed on there. While the totals match the front page, there may be some smaller details that are missed.

This is fucking awesome. Is there a way to make a copy?

EDIT: Google has an option to "Make a copy" for google drive users under "File" toolbar. I made a copy @Stealthy, but I have added your name to the file name. I hope this is acceptable?

Of course. Intention was to make it easier for anybody to make a plan.

And I can't thank you enough. Now instead of using up a full day from ~9-21 dealing with mostly base bullshit (Seriously. It took like only an hour to decide on the action parts.) I can potentially whittle that down to only 17-23. Doubtful but this will save me hours of work.

You are a godsent man.

This is great work! And if you are finding problems with making it keep in mind that google sheet does not have all the features that excel does, and tends to run slower as well. But for UI, you have it opening to a summary page upfront which is easy to read at a glance. As it is though, without programming skills making something more user friendly is just not going to work in sheets.

I'm not sure how I feel about using much of my day off on this but so be it.

Welcome to the spreadsheets :)
 
Also I don't know how I feel about giving the Chiss a planet killer. I get that the Blob is pretty horrible and the Chiss don't start wars. But you have to remember about the Chiss:

"They don't just steal your technology—they make it better."
 
Maybe we're limiting ourselves with regards to PR1's makeover, @Dr. Snark were you envisioning his upgrade along the lines of an Android specificially? Do you see his new form as passing for biological at first glance?

If so we might just be free to find an image that matches his character, rather than limiting ourselves to pictures specifically of Androids.

gonna be honest, there are hundreds of planet killers better then the one we are giving them, the fact that they do not have one kinda surprises me.

I mean, seriously, I understand it might break the setting but just jury-rig a hyperdrive engine without safeguards for collision and slap it onto a huge sphere of waste material. Set it off and you have a wonderful KKV ...

Eh, might as well give it to the Star Wars Vulcans.

If we don't either we keep it and beyond studying it I don't think we have much need or use for it, or we blow it up and for what?

Might as well give it to someone who'll get some use out of it and maybe let us use it if we absolutely need it.

Actually for what it is I find it very impressive. Its 7KM long and yet it can planet kill things something which most super weapons can't (Star wars has plenty of super weapons that can destroy all life on a planet, but actual planet killers are rarer)

Hell I'd say in terms of cost effectiveness this thing makes the death star look like shit.

Yeah, but if that happened then we'd have no setting in short order :)

I'll throw this in advance;

The sort of Quest derailment where instead of Palpatine Sauron having the death star, it was Gandalf the Grey who had it all along~. And with the added cavet of good customer employment, lead to what would have been a snuck in weakspot, be replaced by a surprise disco party to bedazzle the would be rogue squadron.

And likely Xanatos munchkinry before Palpatine yawns, wakes up, smells the coffee, and goes on a Force fulled temper tantrum to a laser assassination dance. :p

Or in short, Jedi has the Death Star, Obi-Wan and Anakin are drinking buddies, and by the scale of things... I'd not be surprised, if one "Master Yoda" wants to have a force-esque chat on Ciaren, on how she's certainly made... Trickery on complications.

It'll drop out of hyperspace somewhere in orbit and not do any more damage than any other asteroid of meaningful size.
