Once on completion.
Oh, that's much friendlier than I thought. Thanks!
Since that's the case I'll swap up a bit on my research/security dice to start on another alien tech.
edit: Like so

Military (5/6 Dice) Resources Spent: 150
-[X] Signal Interceptor Development 5 dice 150R 14% will finish.
(132/500, 30 RPD)
Administration (3/3 Dice)
-[X] Security Review (Research) 3 dice
Tweaked plan since military we've got a limited number of projects right now and 2-3 dice next turn should have a decent shot of finishing off the project. Added in the power core since the cost requirements are friendlier and understanding how their power generation works should be very useful. I'm happy to change the admin focus and drop a services dice (UK). Can either use those to push industry section or else just save resources. Hoping the boost in middle east relations offsets a little bit of aggressive spending (Costs 400/383)

The sooner a country is added the sooner we gain benefits from them.
In addition to that, Turkey feels like the best bet for testing the waters of including a new section to the Council with their revelation of Alien Interest and by pushing for them to be included they'll likely start at a higher disposition towards us compared to if we pushed for Middle East includement as part of Renegotiations.
Plus, if we don't spend the resource then what's the point of stocking up on PS?

Suspect we'd want to stay above 40-50 on PS unless we want a new leader and I'd also suspect that low PS would have some impact on support in different countries or DC/project cost. Organizations with visible and unpopular leaders usually have some extra hoops to jump though or hassles to deal with.
Thinking of PS like money: Putting $1000 on a credit card for an experiment when you've got $20000 is safer than doing it when you've only got $2000.

I'm not too worried about PS right this second; but I agree that we want to be fairly sparing with our usage of it. We are almost out of +PS actions at this point.

I want to push Turkey then leave the PS unless absolutely necessary because this is a good opportunity for Turkey as a Council member that really likes us

now that we are making PS per turn, I feel comfortable spending it. If we get another country to total support then our net PS income should hopefully double

The new Interceptor deployment cant come soon enough, we are starting to lose interceptors, which is never a good sign

Yeah, next turn we really need to slam out the interceptor upgrade. I'd say "and start the next set ticking" but we're currently under attack by infiltrators so we really need to get the security upgrades ticking and hope for low dev times.
Yeah, the only thign we can do in the meantime till Interceptor comes, which is Q1 2017 ...

Interesting, upgraded bases will also house more air forces, translating to better intersection capabilities
APCs exist to get their passengers to the frontline quickly, and ideally without dying. Which, especially since we need rapid response, is probably kind of important...
