Plan idea
The Arano Restoration:
[] Upgrade Mechdur's factories to Helghan Standards.
[Progress: 3/5 turns]
[Action Point Locked Until Completed]
[] Broach topic of recovering Tyrlon VI Anomaly: With the Tyrlon VI anomaly located off the coast of the nearest landmass, perhaps the Aurigan Reach could use some help recovering it...
Magistracy of Canopus:
[] Expand FTL Comms Network: Having had to promise to link Canopus to the Republic's own FTL communication network to secure the Canopian vote for the Mutual Defence Pact, we should build said link ASAP.
[Progress: 0/5 turns] [5 Turns Remain Until Negative Effects Occur] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]
General:
[] Construct a Bellerophon-class colony ship: Task your shipyards with constructing a Bellerophon-class colony ship.
[Can be taken multiple times in a turn]
[] Survey Helghan for Additional Petrusite Deposits: With the news that Petrusite deposits will eventually regenerate, now is the time to resurvey old mining sites and look for new ones.
[Progress: 0/5 turns] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]
[] Construct Space Elevator Over Helghan: With the old space elevator destroyed during the same event that shifted Helghan into another universe, Helghan trade and colonisation efforts have suffered dramatically due to the bottleneck of loading and unloading cargoes on the ground.
[Progress: 4/5 turns] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]
Military:
[] Construct a Hasta-class cruiser Squadron: Task your shipyards with constructing Three Hasta Cruisers.
[Can be taken up to multiple times a turn]
Design:
[] Arc Cruiser Redesign: Order your design teams to redesign the old arc cruiser to make use of the latest technological advancements.
[] Design write-in: Carrier
Political:
[] Colonize Rogue [Progress: 126,382/500,000] [Action Point Locked Until Completed]
-[] Research
--[]Prototype Energy Shield [3.1/4]
--[] Neurohelmet
--[] Basic Power Armour (Light)
--[] Petrusite Ground Weapons
--[] Petrusite Space Weapons
Requisition
[] H405 Keyzer: A worthy successor to the venerable StA-52, the Keyzer continues with Helghast weapon design tradition by melding a bullpup rifle with a high-capacity drum magazine to create something halfway between an assault rifle and a light machine gun. Taking into account feedback from the Helghan military, Hephaestus has motorized the magazine to allow for faster reloading and have introduced a variety of attachments ranging from ACOG scopes to underslung missile launchers.
Design
[] Battlemech Design: Titan TTN-1HR upgrade to Titan TTN-2HR
[] ASF Design: Daga
I fully expect everyone to reject this plan.
I can't think of what to do about Caliban this turn so I'll just leave it as is right now until the situation changes over there.
We've had the petrusite survey available for a while so now might be a good time to start it.
Neurohelmets are the only society research project we have a boost for right now so we might as well have it as our current society research.
I really want to get Petrusite weapons to standard level and we're not getting any boosts any time soon so we might as well start now.
As appealing as new guns for the troops are we need to upgrade our vehicles, mechs and the like so I'm starting with the stuff that have designs posted on the thread already.
Just an idea but maybe we should propose joint research for KF drives and terraforming to the other alliance members like we have with power armour before diving into research for them and we should probably be discreet about KF research so C* doesn't have a bigger reason to stick there noses into our affairs.
@prometheus110 shouldn't we be able to upgrade the Hasta as we've gained better engine, structure and reactor technologies since we designed it?
