Attempting To Fulfil Your Contract: A Noveria Planquest [Mass Effect]

Not really a fan of putting so many projects on hold so we can focus resources on head hunting and also don't really like the Fusion plant being paused for the second month in a row.

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.
Why Data Security Revision? I could see maybe one day doing a revision in firearms, despite paranoia that one day someone will smuggle guns in and use them to kill everyone. But Data Security is one of the big founding ideas of Noveria.

I understand that just choosing the option won't change anything, just open up choices for a possible revision. But I still think it's a big step.

The plan that I made is built around continuing all, in progress projects(Building the Team). While going for the head hunting. Because of that It can only put 2 dice into the Spire thing that gives us +ES.

There were relatively few administration options, and not enough resources to pull off a recruitment with my other options. I also felt recruitment was a bit counter intuitive as it's already difficult to make use of the dice we have and stay within the budget. I'm hoping data security revision will open up new admin options for next turn.

The thing is we already have a resource to dice issue. More dice now doesn't help us much if we can't really use them. Half our resources on gaining assets we can't make proper use of without neglecting other areas isn't particularly sensible, and gaining traits in and of itself doesn't quite justify putting so much into it in a single turn.

Honestly, not doing Data Security Revision and throwing those Admin dice at both of the Internal Sweepings your doing would make me feel alot better about your plan.

That's, actually, a very reasonable suggestion.

Faith you need to roll another 6 dice.
 
Nope, the HI and AI dice for Department Reviews aren't rolled. 2+1+1+2+3+2+3+2+2 = 18

That said, for future reference, please don't count the free dice separately from the department dice on the action plan, I will absolutely just not see them and assume you deliberately left them idle again

Oh so it's just the Admin dice for that action that are rolled. Well that answers a question I had.

Glacial Fusion Plant - 174+74+11+10 = 267/300
Secondary Artificial Biome Cluster Site (Peak 11) - 202+8+5 = 215/250
Dedicated Computation Cluster (Astra Financial) - 65+37+15 = 117/150
Peak 12 Munitions Plant - 129+45+41+30 = 245/200
NDC Corporate Spire - 93+94+64+75 = 326/150
Corporate Security Review (Kaskadan Syndicate) - 80+80+14 = 174/100
Lower Hanshan Law Enforcement Office - 83+15+38+21 = 157/125
Internal Sweeping (Advanced Industry) - 59+20+20 = 99 vs 40
Internal Sweeping (Heavy Industry) - 86+82+20 = 188 vs 40


Abec Territorial Ordinance: +1P, +2F (Now 2P, 3F)
Massively Overbuilt Edifice to the Glories of Capitalism
+10 ES? (Now: 60)
Kaskadan Syndicate: +1F (Now 1P, 2F)
+Port Hanshan Livability
+10 ES (Now: 70)
ERCS: +1P, +1F (Now 3P, 2F)
Advanced Industry Swept
Heavy Industry Very Throughly Swept
Domain Ecological Services: +1F (Now 0P, 0F)

Contract Complete?

We could have built two Corporate Spires for the amount of effort we put in.
We've also now swept every department. Maybe a new sweep of a department every six months or something.
