If you spend Admech Favor you are just buying a Noosphere to send home, nothing more. Second that isnt Favor that is how much time you have left to complete the missions, I did not do any balance changes to the mission actions.
Its a locked action under the locked action spoiler bar.
So the "Train an attribute" on top of the other 3 Personal is costless this turn so long as we don't make her our Diplomacy Advisor? And of course we can use her for that action again for ourselves and others later
Would it be possible to format an action to put off sending it home so we can study it? Or would sending it home result in local designs being sent back?

I am a bit worried about spending 50% of our reserves while also increasing upkeep more than we gain in income but there is little we can do about that.
I think we need to take:
The higher values are correct, copy/paste must have been the issue at hand since I copied an older version than the correct version. Sorry.
Higher is better since that means Atraxas actually understands what he is being told rather than just nodding his head in what he thinks are reasonable points. Your army is limited by gear currently so it cant provide a +5 until its gear is upgraded. Peak Imperial Guard vs High Solar Aux situation.
Damn, does that mean we can sneak in our private army's action, in order to try and get the required materials needed for some of our stuff? Oh, and their are some copy pasted options for diplomacy, that are already covered under the secret text bar, for out of sector planets. Unless, those planets not in it, are within our sector, of course.
1) your army is off with the rogue trader house Norastrye this turn so no
Atraxas wouldnt get much from the favor one, so the DC remains. As a rule the Exatari dont really do reverse engineering as humans do the process. They dont consider simply recreation as the acceptable stop point, and instead work on the thing until they know it from base principles to complete usage. So in this case having a working Noosphere wouldnt really help Atraxas do it faster since he would still have to do all the research on his own to fully understand the system.
Once you send the info back yes, but that is not an inherent aspect of those actions. Its a narrative result of them, but not a first order outcome which is what I list in the result blurb.
That seems odd. Having a working Noosphere would provide a vector from which to proceed. It goes from "Noospheres are demonstrably possible, but how" to "this specific design makes a Noosphere. What principles can I infer from this and how can they be falsified?" Like the AdMech treat technology as a bedrock to build off of, but he could use it as an Ariadne Thread to the actual foundation, rather than just working off of "it's past that labyrinth".
It's due to the fact that to Atraxas there isnt a real difference, he has to do the same work regardless. He knows what the basics are at this point and can recreate a noosphere on his own through guess work, but isnt a master of it by any means. Basically at the core it's due to how Exatari do research on other species technology. Its not enough to just be able to recreate the effect, they have to be able to recreate it via their native tech base.
Yeah, I am going to make the army weapon upgrade actions free actions since the work is already done and all that remains is just buying the stuff. The large stuff like tanks, power armor and such will require full actions to achieve.
