To be fair, the two on going projects are going to finish next turn and in two turns respectively So we could put off the taurian FTL until the elevator is done and do the same with the AC when Mechdur is done and start the MoC right now. And I do think we need to get on this ASAP given that with the war over more eyes are going to turn our way, especially with the Defensive Pact, us poking the FS on the blackbox issue, and the TCs actions so having open local comms separate from Comstar is critical. So yes there will be two turns where we have three actions locked and one turn with 2 but if we want to meet the deadline this will happen regardless.
Yes but we do not screw our selves right now where we need all the points we can get and locking all three out at the very first time is the best way to force us into a corner with limited actions and point left to work with.
I feel like we should begin the process of wooing more independent neighboring planets, as in the aftermath of pirate attacks and our response to them there's potential for 'hitting while the iron is hot.'
Given the nature of the TC and MoC, perhaps we should consider working on both of their FTL networks at the same time? we can put the Reach's on the back burner for now, but we could run into a diplo issue if we start on the MoC first and do nothing about the TC
Could put some strain into our alliance that isn't necesary
There is a difference the ISA Cruiser or Damocles as I call it primary use was transport, a FOB and finally as a fire support. It's a good multi role ship and as I have noted before it's more likely would fit as a destroyer instead of a cruiser. The Damascus Carrier is a carrier so it would fit that role but I want to start building the Damocles so that we can start creating more designs off of it.
Well no since it was part of the Acquisition part of the vote I do belive that it was an automatic role out now if it's automatically update to standard then I'll change it but let's wait for QMs ruling on that.
We never built any Titans they were only ever made in a simulation and we got the tech needed for them timeline-wise immediately after we did those simulations.

We already went over this unless we don't finish them in 5 years there is nothing else that would anger them. They joined the pact and know that it requires them to play nice if we are to build the lines for them. They gave us a time limit and that is all we need to maintain.

The the ISA cruiser is a bigger waste of time. We already have the design we have all the ISA designs we don't need to design them at all. Also all those things you mentioned the Hasta, Arc, and the Workhorse all do that already so it is of no use to make it and the ISA is more of a cruiser than the Workhorse and Hasta because it is bigger and massed more to begin with.
And read the update again they were only created in a Simulation and we got the new tech for them immediately after we did that sim.
Here is my plan for this turn. I am not locking down any more actions than I need to. I am also trying to get a better understanding of our Petrusite and trying to make it easier for our people to survive on different worlds and injuries they receive with new and better cybernetics.

@prometheus110 we should be at 8 open out 11 AP as we gained 1 AP from Autonomous Systems finishing last turn. Also the Hasta cruisers should be more than 3 per AP since that was supposed to be how much they were the first time we built some and we spent 1 AP on building them last turn
Fucking finally, about time we updated the mawler. Such a waste not using any when they beat the robots easily. I mean cmon it can take down spaceships.
By the way um with the Titan do we need to redisgn for new tech or is it updated to mark 2s automatically? Also I noticed that Aurigan Visa deal dissappeared from where it was from turn 19.

The MAWLR took a beating in it's fight. And it was built for fighting ISA ships which are much weaker than BT ships. They also are only a defensive unit by nature.
You do realize that there were two MAWLRs there (only one of which took damage) at that battle and the damage the MAWLR took was mostly the result of the MAWLRs armor which is vastly inferior to what we now have. If it is redesigned we remedy that maybe reduce its maintenance requirements and possibly add some more Petrusite weaponry to turn the MAWLR into a walking fortress with anti-orbital capability.
Is this open to new people or is it restricted to more experienced people on this forum? I've spent the last few days reading this after finding the Hasta over on DA.

From my reading I like the plan that finally sees the MAWLR get a modernisation especially in the wake of C* cutting off the Feds and the expansion of the FTL comms network. I have a feeling it's not going ot be too long before they come either sniffing around where they aren't wanted or just try kicking in the door.
[X] Plan Mining, Upgrades, And Ships
I'm curious though, why not help build another Jumpship maintainance slip at Mechdur? It would benefit the Aurigans economically, would probably help the other pact members who are reliant on Jumpships and would probably also have a knock-on effect on the regions economy as a whole. Think about it, if a new slip is available for repairs then more Jumpships will travel through the region confident that they can more easily get repairs especially since only one Jumpship can be in the slip at any one time having a second onemakes a good deal of sense. Also, given the defensive alliance it will allow allied jumpships to be better repaired in the event of any potential conflicts.
It was one of the options offered so there may be a way to do it. Perhaps do it as a joint venture, get the Aurigans or the Taurians to install any specialised KF componants while we take on the bulk of the work constructing the slip itself. I imagine Helghast engineers could probably make the slip itself somewhat more efficient given our own comparativey greater shipyard experience not only with building ships but also maintaining and repairing large numbers of ships.
Yes the vote tick is in again, I wasn't sure if my type-in went through.

I much as I really want to upgrade our MAWLR fleet the ISA cruiser is waste of resources when we have our own better models and we still get a ASF interceptor online.

What we are planning on doing or atleast I am is first build our own Jumpship yards, build and sell our own jumpship. We are also through past actions we have taken slowly spreading lost knowledge through the periphery since we have students at our university from the TC and MoC along with teachers in the MoC and AC which at least for the Magistracy has already brought back Lostech in the form of Cryobeds.
Also I'm planning next turn to start colonization of Charybdis and building another Colony vessle since based on my math turn 30 is when Rouge finishes up.
