While nothing feels particularly urgent, there are a few options which get us some much needed Exucutive Support, especial since some of the options we have sunk dice into previously will be lowering it further when completed.

Here's my prelim plan from earlier.
This is the only plan im willing to accept that does two different Recruitment drives(3 dice each(unless the change is just what area gets expanded)). the only thing this plan does besides that and continuing working on all the projects we already started. is the NDC Corporate Spire.
An alternate plan could have 60 more resources to work with if the take off one of the Recruitment Drives, I just feel like we dont want to overshoot the Goal to much so going heavy into recruitment to make the next plan easier would be better.

They learned enough about indoctrination, and met enough of the indoctrinated researchers, to know to be careful with this kind of stuff. Dr Thanoptis sure was helpful explaining everything and surrendering peacefully.

We already have sufficient disparity between resources available and dice to make using all our dice difficult. Better to wait until we can get a boost in funds next year and hit it heavily our last turn this one. I'm saving 20R or more depending on Rolls to have a bit more to spend next one.
DES because we don't have other options that target them so I'd like to boost there favor while I can.
I've picked 2 options that Raise ES in prep for the drop from orbital defense platforms and data sec revision.

You aren't targeting Kantor Robotics this turn so they are not an option. I'd suggest Domain Ecological Services. They are negative as well and we only have a single option involving them which you'll likely finish this turn, meaning we don't know when we will get another oppertunity.

I already changed to the finicial group, Since when there project completes they'll be at 2 P, 0F. And I would like to get that to 2 P 1 F.

Idk, I'm seeing a lack of Defense Satellites, and the Geth may or may not be raiding the Citadel soon. Would look bad if we started this, but we're nowhere near complete if things go down at Space Station.

Probably not this turn but should at some point take this. Same thing with that asari data center company.
Hm, would prefer to continue with the Defense Satellites, but I think I'm mostly fine with this plan....

I don't think noveria comes under attack again during mass effect. Maybe in the aftermath there might be threats from collectors or collector associates, but we should be fine until at least o7r second year. besides if the NDC Spire rolls go well we can throw two dice on it with the extra 15R we get back from the over success.

Its been more then 8 hours and I gotta go to bed soon So I'm posting my plan up.
It puts 1 Dice on Every in progress project, Giving a Chance to complet on all but the Defence Satellities. Puts 2 dice on NDC corporate Spire to offset the ES cost of the Satellites. Puts 6 total dice on Recruitment Drive, 3 into Heavy and 3 into Infrastructure.
Which I believe once we are done with recruitment drives we'll be able to use all the Dice because we have alot of low cost actions. So as long as we just put only 1-2 dice on each high cost actions we'll be able to activate all dice no problem. (i'm using 120 R on admin dice which has the cheepest dice, and I'm activating 12/20 Total dice, Which I would be able to use all the dice no problem if i wasn't doing that)
E: I manually added the Increase from the Recruitment Drive action that we got last turn in admin.

Sure, but when the news reports hit and Noveria looks to the skies to see half finished defense system? Then the egg is on our Zannis' face plate. He lost support getting this project started, and then he'll lose support because it sits unfinished.

It's turn nine of 10. I'm sure we have at least 2 turns left, and it's not like we could finish it earlier than turn eleven anyway with cost issues.

Cerberus literally invades in ME3. Also we're right on the Human/Salarian border. Relying on the goodwill of our neighbors as defense is a bad idea. Illium, for example, bitchslapped the initial Reaper invasion that made attempts on them(Source, ME3 Codex, Illium):
If we don't have defenses, then we're gonna have incursions into our space. Especially since Binary went and proved the Council needs to keep a closer eye on us. And that means we need some teeth to help keep them at arm's length.

I said mass effect and delibrately went on to mention the mass effect 2 enemies and say we would be fine until our second year, when we could ask for a higher budget. Read the whole post before you qoute it.

Various things I noticed:
- Admin stuff needs to be updated. We have 4 dice and our bonus is now +10
- Nezo Aerospace lost favor the turn right after we finished their Destructive Testing Range taking them back down to -2. Makes me wonder what the point even was.
- We can keep recruiting for more Admin dice, though it's more expensive now.
- Lower Hanshan Commerical Manufacturing now gives favor with Long Winter Studios since it lets them make mundane props on planet rather than have to ship them from off-world.

Looking at our ES totals, I think we only lose ES when we finish the project, not start it.

….I'ld like to argue this, but the only information I have is that if the Geth invade the Citadel it's within a year of the Eden prime attack, and that 1 month after the attack then the Collectors' gank the first Normandy; this is all in the same year. If dice result in a 9/11 situation on the Citadel then it's going to be soon.
Edit:
I know, it just feels like a natural extension that we lose ES for not completing projects. Imagine, we start the starport expansion and then forget about for 2 months? They'll wonder what we're doing.

I believe no construction has actually started really. I think as far as the Satellites went it was just finding what kind to get. SO whats left is to actually get them.
Also not sure why but I just want to have Long Winter Studios among those with a high favor....Bit random but felt like mentioning it. Same with the biomedical...

Both errors fixed. Good spot on Nezo, that one slipped by me.
The end of Mass Effect 1 and prologue of Mass Effect 2 take place prior to the end of this contract. Shepard spends 2184 napping and wakes up sometime early 2185*, with Mass Effect 2 going about a year leading into Arrival which occurs in early 2186. Reaper invasion is mid 2186, so mid-Contract 4.
*Jacob says Shepard was sleeping for closer to two years - I tend to prefer a shorter nap and a longer assumed timeline for the events of the games. Also, since this contract started in January with Shepard's arrival on Noveria I guess Eden Prime happened either in Dec 2182 or around the New Year.
Nil'Zannis has mostly just been window shopping, yes.

This plan isn't perfect but it's the only one that doesn't revise the data security law and mess with one of the biggest reasons half these companies are even here, so it has my support (why people are so set on the data stuff I am still not entirely sure).
