You did, tho not only the forges would like some part of the action.
Rogue traders and the navy would love to have a few, more if you ever switch up the laser cannons

Considering it is self reliant on energy with the solar panels it would work well as a long range scout fighter. No need to go back to base to refuel so long as it has clear access to a close enough star to charge it allowing it to go on longer and further missions. Along with the ion drive it could get in and out without having to get into dog fights while conducting reconnaissance with the auspex scanners.

I don't think the issue is the power constraints/fuel-- but more so in that they don't possess a lifesupport system (and thus, pilots are reliant on a breathing apparatus with a limited supplies of 'air') and are likely lacking in the space to store enough rations for lengthy expeditions. (Although with their engines, said expeditions would probably be lengthy for others but not for them).

The Forgeworld can get a lot of mileage out of the TIE fighter STC. Taking its individual components and repurposing it for other uses.
I'd vote for a party next turn that just goes full on research on the STC bestowed by the Omnissiah to apply to Imperial designs or just improve the STC itself.

Might be better for planetary scouting then, less area to actually traverse when compared to space and less need for oxygen. Of course the oxygen and food would be less of a problem if we give the pilot a lot of augments or just use a servitor brain to pilot it.

The latter is certainly something to consider-- considering you could probably power the servitor/augments via some rerouting of the power generated by the starfighter's solar panels. What we could also do is strip out the engines and attach them to the side of something else-- maybe using preexisting engines as retrorockets/navigational thrusters to orient this preexisting ship. Or we could just bolt several TIEs to the side of a ship instead of stripping out the engines and just extending wiring to the TIE telling it to turn on/off its engines. Or we could make a sort of 'carrier' ship in a sense that has docking space for one or several of the TIEs, and you send the TIEs out in different directions for scouting and then have them return to the 'carrier' to resupply before doing so again.

Nice. I am sure that our planet is gonna become a place of pilgrimage for the Mechanicus.
We should probably barter our STC fragment for space ports, ship yards, naval ships and other space based infrastructure as these are something we are currently lacking.

You can always modify the pattern, a good rule of thumb is " a orthodox adapts, a radical modifies and a tech heretic invents"
And all other "solutions" to that problem

We could probably shove this engine into a lot of older fighters and sell them as upgraded designs.
The Dark Angels did something similar when they discovered some crazy engine tech, which they funnily enough did not share with the Mechanicus.

Good News Everyone!
Clearly we have different definitions of the term radical vs orthodox and we are talking past each other.
No one is doing any kind of McCarthy bullshit, but being the largest party in parliament, and then getting shut out, does not engender good feelings in us towards our opposition. You formed a cordone sanitaire and then it fell apart the moment one person broke ranks. Is it any surprise that folks dont like your side of the aisle?
Was the lack of mcarthy bullshit before or after conjuring an entire orthodox faction out of nothing?
And maybe, get this, people just didn't agree with the seekers and edited their plans accordingly?
Frankly i still don't like the seekers but seeing as this is a game, i don't have to hold onto my stances that rigorously and id like to actually participate instead of shouting at the wall.

Have you tried making better plans?
Actually taking feedback into account?
People didn't just decide "Seekers is a stupid name lets isolate them!", we decided "Seekers have points in their plan that we dislike enough that we don't want to support them via coalition".

Good News Everyone!
Our plans are fine and democratically people are agreeing with us on account of coalitioning with us and voting for us. So I dont see what the issue is. But that doesnt mean that I have to be happy with the way other parties have treated us previously. If you dislike our attitude toward your political party perhaps you can treat us a bit nicer and give us a reason to feel better about your side of the aisle?
I mean compared to the Seekers everyone else is pretty orthodox in comparison. Orthodoxy vs radicalism isnt an absolute value but rather a relative one, where you are comparing parties within a self contained political system. Compared to Mars, you are radicals and possibly hereteks. Compared to the Seekers? You are fuddy duddy sticks in the mud.
So we arent conjuring anything, you are to the right of the Seekers. Thus from where we stand you are in fact orthodox.
I suppose it just goes to show how radical Sidonia is overall compared to its sister worlds.

Calling the Cogs of Justice, who want to strenghten 40K law enforcement, which is entirely built around opressing the common people radicals is maybe technically true, in that they are radically cruel, but renders the entire spectrum of politics on Sidonia useless.
When you lump thin blue line supporters and their ACAB opponents into the same faction that faction ceases to have any function

I like the menial improvement program, but I also don't want to risk the Seekers getting locked out.

I don't tho?
Also nice to see that you haven't actually read their party platform

Oh no, sorry, I phrased that wrong. Not locked out, but, like, not being the leading party. Because if they aren't the leading party, the STCs stop getting better and better.
And people also democratically voted for the other parties the one time you weren't in government, so I really don't see what you're so butthurt about.

The leading party also gets de-buffs to make getting new tech in streaks far harder
You means these Cogs of Justice?
Who are working to combat corruption, check factories (where workers could be abused) and try to find out who fucked up for people to get mutated (turns out: noone, we just have an unusually high immigration rate of mutants)?
Yeah, a police force actually working to protect the people is radical in wh40k.
