Brave New Frontier

[X] Pest Control Outsourcing (1045 PF)
-[X] Mars Bases (350 PF): The creation of bases on Mars is of paramount importance since they will be the nucleus of potential Martian cities while it can be considered to be a bloody toll it is necessary to both shorten logistics and provide a way to colonize Mars earlier. Work with the EU in creating these bases as the bastions of civilizations on Mars itself and a basis for multiple colonial governments.
-[X] Invasion Craft Design and Build (150 PF): Design and create invasion crafts for Mars to allow orbital landings on the planet. Build and allow the manufacture of such craft by other parties to ensure the ground is held on Mars.
-[X] Martian Legion (300 PF): Create a French Foreign Legion-styled force with the promise of freedom, land, and pensions. Scour through prisons, orphanages, the streets, and dissidents to recruit with deliberately low standards and look away on any problematic factors such as age for anyone willing to fight in Mars so that there can be numbers to fight outside the bases. For prisoners divide them up to those who will be safe and dangerous with the dangerous inmates being part of the vanguard for multiple campaigns at the discretion of the officers and will be provided great rewards when they retire. For volunteers and safe prisoners provide them the tiers of rewards if they would be able to stomach the dangers. On the topic of land and pensions, the land rewarded to a legionnaire cannot be sold but can be rented by governments or economic concerns operating on Mars which can be added to their pensions. They will be initially supported by funds from both the EU and the Conglomerate but must eventually be funded by the Martian colonies themselves.
-[X] Fusion Technologies (100 PF): Provide further funding to fusion technologies and see with its weaponization against the alien menace.
-[X] Martian Moon Research Cities (140 PF): Phobos and Deimos will be a great site for researching better military technologies and to study the wreckage of the Battle of Sol. Provide the European defense establishment facilities in these moons and a site where safety standards can be lax for weapons and armor testing. Any military corporation is able to have facilities in these cities as long as they are able to pay the rental fees.
-[X] Launch the Invasion of Mars (5 PF): When enough invasion crafts are done launch the invasion no matter what to ensure that the alien menace is can no longer work on Mars unimpeded.

I've been thinking of trying to just spend a lot of blood and treasure to make the aliens go away since I'm doubting we would have our full attention to it. So, we need to profit from this and make sure that space colonization would go apace.
Made edits by designing invasion crafts and pinging @Lutte @willian2801 and @DerechteNikolaus on the update since new info came out.
 
What is the status of the Ring? I know we have a shipyard segment and a commercial segments. What other attributes does it have, and what can be done to it?

An orbital ring is more or less just a place where you put things, it improves the result of actions made to construct with it, such as commercial segments or the like.
 
One thing I would like to bring to notice, is that the competing plan Pest Control spends hundreds of PF on establishing bases and invading mars when we don't even have any dedicated invasion craft, meaning that combined with only 5 PF dedicated to the actual invasion of Mars it would be a colossal bloodbath, one where its our blood being spelt with most of the people and craft we send getting killed before they even touch the ground because of their giant AA and AO (Anti-Orbital) net

I mean the countless torrents of blood is the point I never hid the fact that I intend to factor in fatalities to over 90% of initial forces to get a foothold on Mars. Since anything less than that even with drones is a losing position. Besides the only reason we are defending Sol in my opinion is because all of our stuff are there and we couldn't move them out because of how profitable it is. And the other plan is thinking like some sort firm always guzzling debt and venture capital funds for my tastes.

In that case, why kill millions of people knowing they wouldn't succeed anything more than a foothold and imo not even that? Just because they're poor and desperate? Or are 'undesirables'? Even ignoring the moral arguement they still make us money just by existing, they buy our products after all. But another thing, lets say your Average Joe #557874 a few years ago you learn that there is a giant mega corp that controls the worlds economy and is basically the strongest thing on the planet, your annoyed, probably a little upset but life goes on, then now, you find out they're taking up people and sending them to their deaths for no apparent reason. How do you think they'll react? All those Terrorist Organizations we took care of? They'll come right back with more of them and better technology, they'll have public support, and the moral high ground, their fighting the evil megacorp after all, maybe its not that bad but I still really don't like it.

And how is the other plan thinking like some sort firm always guzzling debt and venture capital funds? If anything, the other plan has a more sane spending goal than the one that spends over 9/10ths of it's budget on a suicide mission.

[X] Plan: Orbital Superiority
Looking at the arguments, I agree that this plan is very risky, I still love his idea, I just don't think we should do it all at once anymore, at least we have to have bases on the moon first, make a reconnaissance and then implement this plan and It's very risky we need more preparation before implementing it, I'm mainly afraid that I'm only sending people to feed their rituals and the risk of infiltration is not good eithe
 
[X] Plan Tech and Terrorforming
(1045PF)
(Keep our PMC'S. I already budgeted that into the plan.)
The first part of the plan involves getting boots on the ground on Mars. It may seem like a small force but their mostly there as a scouting force and to see if we can pierce the veil. They will deploy with cables that reach to orbit if need be! And this risks no human life. (Were unsure if they can sacrifice drones to the same effect. Another test this will accomplish.)
Recruit personal conglomerate AI forces
2 Drone infantry. (AI) 20PF
3 Drone air (Transport) (AI) 45 PF
1 Drone armor (AI) 10PF
1 Drone air (Scout/Offense) 15PF
(90PF)

0 PF (Weigh in on money would help this Dapper?) Combined orbital bombardment with the EU fleet. We recall our fleets and using the forces we send down as scouts to acquire targets we do what Dapper has called I believe "Rolling thunder" Saturating the area with support fire. Leading to the third part of this section of the plan.

190 PF Rods From god-We will produce a series of MASSIVE kinetic devices with both the pusher plates and orion drives and bombard Mars with these objects should there be any locations we are able to crack. (These rods will penetrate at bare minimum several kilometers into the crust)

120 PF- (Contingency plan!) Orbital shielding: Should the above bombardment plans fail or it seems the enemy will be able to shoot earth. We will launch a series of asteroids and other space junk into Martian orbit and (Hopefully) Prevent them from shooting us.

120PF- (If Contingency does not trigger.) Invest in untapped revenue streams. Is there a shortage of toasters? Make more toasters? Need more gas from Venus? Let's get some! This one isin't picky.

130 PF Joint advanced sciences research institute: We open a joint science institute with the EU to develop cutting edge and beyond technology. As a show of good intent we share the gel with them. If it seems like we'll be able to get appropriate compensation we can also share the pusher plate and possibly "access" to our captive xeno friend. (I was thinking something for like every profit factor we put into this the EU puts somewhere between 1-3? Maybe more? And we share science developed here.)

120 PF Work on those fusion reactors and engines! (Self explanatory. I also have a little side project for them later.)

120 PF Quantum computing. Once we have this figured out our processing power sky rockets and we basically eliminate signal lag. (It means if we want to remote control drones from earth? We can do that instantly.)

120 PF- Build a better man- Were quickly approaching the limits of what the human body can do and need to fundamentally change it. Weather it be through tech, enhanced biology or even cerebral uploading the man of tomorrow will not be the man of today.

105PF- Design and produce invasion invasion craft to take troops to the mars invasion the mars invasion.

50PF- Solar military adaption- Adapt our military units for projected solar environments. (IE, Martian or Lunar warfare.)
EDIT: Reposted this so it shows up in the plans now.
EDIT 2: Adding environmental adaptation to the military forces.

[X] Plan Tech and Terrorforming

This plan is nice, only complaint is that it wastes 15 PF (should we try and build him an AI buddy next turn? It will give us double the chances of getting super crazy crits and should make DEUS happier) but its a small thing and its better than letting Pest Control win

Don't worry I've put the money away from Deus's possible booze problem and put it into constructive plans now like solar invasion craft and adapting our forces for the Mars assault.
 
Also no one has recommended the true best plan, we need to start a cult to the alien gods on Earth and out religion them hard enough to get their own gods to kill them. Plus the we get to have Dapper describe our Alien Death Cult molesting the alien blobs.

You just posted about DEUS eating all the other AIs, and then you assume he won't eat these alien star gods? Awfully bold I say. :V

I think we've basically got a god in our corner right now, whether we want him there or not. And I don't think he's inclined to share.

Twas a meme, although if anyone had seriously agreed then i would have made a plan to weed out the crazy cultists among us.
