[X] Continue to splice together your scan data with the Lily's, but prioritising the Rose's data
You can make use of some of the advanced technology, but when the two systems contradict each other, you want to go with the system you fully understand.

Going with untested experimental technology in an active war zone is up there with driving a car past certain pizzerias in the US: You are just asking for a crash.
 
[X] Continue to splice together your scan data with the Lily's, but prioritising the Rose's data

I want to go with the Lily's data for a lot of reasons. Their sensors are more advanced, by 30+ years. They detected the object before the Rose, a recon ship, did (assuming their message to Grayson was slightly delayed). Even if the Rose's repaired sensors are working fine under stress tests, they haven't been stress tested by reality yet.

"You want to go with the system you fully understand" as an excuse doesn't fly with me, either. She doesn't fully understand it. It was hacked together by herself and her technicians, a civilian gremlin, and a cyborg. Saying that North "fully understands" the current system doesn't sound like confidence to me; it sounds like pure hubris.

All that said, there's one really simple and obvious reason the Lily's data can't be prioritised: if they have to pull a quick vanishing act, their data will go with them, and the Titanium Rose will be SOL. A transmitting stealth ship is not a stealth ship at all.

They need to be free to do that, to protect the Princess. It's their job. And ours. Basically everybody's job right now, except for the gremlin's.

This looks like the best option. Both because reliable information is better than advanced and potentially wonky ones and because we don't know if we will be able to keep the link open with the other ship for long.

Fucking Quetzle. Fucking Lee (I just know he has something to do with this). Idiots the whole lot of them.

Hopefully better able to cope with a Cloak Interrupt.

For live combat, the old reliable is better.

Emperor forsaken Shadow Ringers! I knew we couldn't trust them! Traitors, all of them! They don't even care that we have civvies on board!

This update makes me wonder...
Is the empire military heavily runs on nepotism before the civil war? I see those in command are mostly highborn.
Is it a noble tradition to serve in the military? and How many noble lines are needed to command the whole fleet of United Sol Empire Fleet?

Mosi is too zealous for my taste but I see that the nobles in the Holy Sol Empire don't take the divine very seriously. Are the nobles sided with Hole Sol empire really believe in their Ideals about divinity? How can they support the "Chosen Divine" in the first place if they can joke about their nation's core Ideology?

I smell foul conspiracies behind this religious movement spearheaded by the "Chosen Divine"

Nepotism and merit are closely tied here. It takes specialized, expensive and early training to be ready for command, and it is quite likely that the cost for producing the ships come from a large extent from noble house sponsorings.

Generally speaking, they're going to be much more present than commoner captains, because its too expensive for commoners to raise many upper rank officers.

Theres still going to be the odd idiot leading, but most families likely quietly shuffle the true idiots out of the way to protect their own reputations.

So, the nobles of the empire have a very strong martial tradition and commoner needs a whole lot of merits to raise their ranks. It's much like the empire of the old.

But I doubt about military ship production sponsored by a noble. It looks like the emperor don't have a great control of power If the noble can hold a huge amount of resources to invest in national military.
