Well well, we have exactly enough across the board to absorb everything without dropping below zero, does this make me a prophet?

Either way, the Heavy Industry hit is ow, but the benefits elsewhere compensate our losses somewhat. We can endure this, and the benefits are not small.

Honestly I think it might be wise to do Civilian Industry and Medical Industry first, before restoring the Heavy Industry, just because that's stuff that lets us bake in loyalty to the Droman Creed by combining assimilation with everyone's standard of living rocketing up to record-breaking levels (the records suck.)

[X] Raised Them As Equals

This is going to necessitate several turns of just focusing on it, but! As far as it goes, I think we'll need to take Medical Services, Heavy Industry, and Assimilate Droma next turn, and then another Heavy Industry, a Civilian Industry, and more Assimilation, etc etc. The first goal is basically getting back to where we are on Industry but on a bigger scale... and then we can expand the army knowing we have a powerhouse.

If we vote to integrate them then I think our focus should still be on void industry and fleet production for a while. we have what, like 30 years left till the orcs come? and the last imperial ships that were larger than monitors just left the system. we really don't want to be caught with our pants down for that one.

To an extent, but if we vote to integrate we need to make a good faith effort to do so. We've already gotten our Void Industry raised by one if we do integrate, so it's probably fine-ish?
 
[X] Raised Them As Equals


We'll need to do Dorma IV next turn before another Daemon tries to pick up where that Lord of Change left off. Given we did Imperial trade and just finished off the initial charge on Dorma III, it shouldn't be too hard to start opening up minds on Dorma IV.

But can we please, please try to fit a Song in to our plans next turn? We still have yet to get our pseudo-navigator Song which is going to severely bottleneck our spread if we don't get started on it soon.

sure, but we don't have a design for light cruisers, which we should be able to build at 2/action now, so we need an action for that, and we'll then need to spend more actions to actually build the ships we want, as right now we have some monitors and a destroyer I think, hardly enough to turn back the orc fleet when they come. at the very least imo we should expand void industry once more and then use at least an action a turn to build ships with said industry.

My perspective is that it's fine to think that, but then don't vote to raise them as equals if actually we're going to have everyone's standard of living go down while we're focused solely on war stuff.

Like it's a commitment.

yeah, it's a commitment if it's voted for, but bringing average living standards back up to what they are on the station should rank behind securing the system against the invasion that we know is coming either way? like, what does increasing medical infrastructure or heavy industry on Droma III help us when an ork fleet hangs out in orbit chucking down spores and nukes.

It keeps the Nurgulites away, and if you think that militaries don't need medicine and so on, I don't know what to tell you. :V

We can focus on quality of life when we don't have Orkz about to bear down on us in a few turns. We need to direct our attention to the war effort so they're grandkids will have the chance to see their lives improved
 
[x] Accepted In Humility

I like tall style more, and this is almost three whole turns of actions to uplift to our standard.
