Discussing with Thulek doesn't even take a Free Action as long as you are fine with the talking taking place over the network. The Scarab Module does take 5 energy from Base Energy Generation if activated, along with the cost, but I think I am going to change that, because you still pay the cost in Energy and Materials for making the unit. You also only have 1 Canoptek Spyder.
..ah.
You don't need to make him a Noble Quarters, the Cryptek Sanctum works as the "living" areas for crypteks as well.
Ah... that's good to know!
We still have some Reclaims, which should give us resources, so we should be okay for some time whilst building up our Advanced Spyders. As for the Reanimators... probably best for later.
I'd disagree reanimators while big targets are pretty damn good, their atomiser Lances will let us top up our necrons as necessary and they can actually contribute a good bit in combat stabbing with their legs as well as returning any enemies to atoms.
Will be delayed regardless unless we spend a Core Action to get Canoptek Assembler up and running... and I doubt General Purpose Constructor Module will allow us to do so. By getting the Basic Spyder its own Scarab whilst the Core builds up a Greater One, we should be able to start getting to the Assembler.
Will keep note of it though. I'm more in favor of getting a Greater Wraith.. I do wonder if we can turn our basic units into Greater/better versions though...
Noted, probably if not definitely next turn. We do need to get our Research up and running (to have Thulek do something rather be a glorified Spyder) whilst we're making the sole basic Spyder its Scarab and a Greater Spyder via a Core action. Did start with the Converter just in case we need the Crystalline if we end up getting Metallic / Organic for some reason. And we need Space anyway due to the Buildings taking up Space, no pun intended.
Did a quick edit, not sure if the QM will see, but yeah noticed that too (It's 20 minutes before MN...), if it the module only allows changing mats to Necrodermis and not vice-versa, I think we might end up making that Crystalline Matter Generator after all whilst delaying the Data Vault until next turn.
You actually don't need the Canoptek buildings to make Greater Spyders, you can just make them with a regular construct action.
1. It does allow you to construct stuff like a Spyder/Scarab.
Tomb Mind Cortex allows you to make an area managed by me, with a focus towards a goal for the area. The Basic one can only manage Spyders, Scarab Swarms, and Wraiths. They are semi-connected to your resources, as in they will send surplus to you, or will send a set amount if you want them to. It allows less micro-managing of an entire Space Hulk, and thus gives the people who make the plans less to worry about.
We can always assign some scarabs to get us the space we need for the assembler to get a reanimator, scarabs aren't exactly good for anything else unless they are in large swarms. And a reanimator would be good for cleaning stuff up as well since it can basically break stuff up with it's lance.
Ah so it's basically a ai helper in a rts sense, I can see it being useful but I don't like the fact that is is kinda limited to those constructs, eh at least we have it.
I did actually consider putting the Ghost Ark in the Units, but it wouldn't be very useful for a bit of time, as there aren't a lot of open spaces on the Space Hulk. Also you need a necron able to actually think to some level to pilot it, which you wouldn't get until you got the Biotransference structures up, and even then, get a good roll on the person who goes in keeping their smarts.
True but the warrior pilots of the tomb blades are already slaved to the algorithms running the flight paths and maneuvers of the blades, couldn't we just modify them slightly and see how they would run a ghost ark?
1) Via our Free Action which seems to be only 1 all throughout? @_@; Good to know!
For the list of threats, you have a good general overview of the possible threats, but one of the "major factions" on this space hulk is one that may surprise you. On the note of "factionless" aliens or forces, I have had some ideas, but will need to research them a bit more to get a solid grasp for some of them.
Then I don't know what is this mystery faction, doubt it would be the imps since we would pick them up on comms, same with the tau, my only guess is that some Blackstone defence bots are on board or something, but i have no clue. And fair on the factionless gits, there is a lot of stuff to go over after all.
