Yeah. That'd preserve the "scrambling for actions" feel of the quest while also allowing for actual build up, if very slowly. Honestly I can't see why our psykers wouldn't be figuring out melodies (if very slowly and carefully) if only because someone figured out that a particular bit of mental imagery helped to do certain things.

Maybe once we get a certain number of Choirs running? Like the 50-year 'automatic research' option unlocks at say 5 choirs, then at 10 we can choose from maybe a selection of 5 for them to randomly research to make it a little more guided, then maybe allow for higher tier melodies to be auto-selected at further 5-choir intervals?
Idk these are haphazard ideas but having some passive method of research seems like the only way we're going to be expanding our repotoir of melodies with any degree of consistency.

You know, I am slightly curious about this while I go to bed (so I have some reading when I wake up.).
Why are people assuming the Mega Rokk (side tangent: I just realized I misspelled the damn things, putting in one k too many. So from now on, your local Orks are just that bit dumber in grammar so I can save face.
), a bigger version of a Big Rok, which itself is a bigger version of a Rok, is stationary?

In my case, it was something along the lines of 'who would be weird enough to make something that big actively mobile', forgetting that we're dealing with both Orks and 40k and not one of the harder sci-fi stories I've been obsessing over for the last few months and I now realize I have let color my view of space combat to a fair degree.

Considering the size and that the waagh field only goes so far, the Mega Rok is probably slow enough that it doesn't really matter that it can move.Why are people assuming the Mega Rokk (side tangent: I just realized I misspelled the damn things, putting in one k too many.

This was also kind of my rational? That if the Orks were capable of moving the Mega Rokk in any meaningful way they wouldn't be using it as a makeshift shipyard, they'd be slamming it into the planet or at least using the threat of that to force the locals into committing themselves to stopping such an event so they can gain orbital supremacy and invade the planet unhindered. So the fact that they aren't kinda indicated to me that the Orks can't really move it like a ship.
For the Love of Humanity, please go with the plan that will put out another Sagittarius ship out there. We need that more than the academy at the moment b/c we need all the firepower we can get to hammer the Orkz.

At least the situation in Neumidia seems to be trending our way, the Orks have gone from nearly winning to on the backfoot, and we've been doing a good job frustrating their attempts to reinforce--and with any luck, the Sagittarius will be able to threaten the Mega Rokk.
Given the possibility that DP bonuses are based on hull class designs in service though, I'll admit to being a little Concerned about how we're going to shake more loose. I'm not sure it's worth revisiting the Aries-class until we have 6 DP, though we could get by with 5 I think. Maybe it might be time to field a torpedo destroyer?
I'm inclined to disagree for now, simply because increased Veterancy is our only major advantage so far, and every time a ship gets completely wiped, all that experience goes bye-bye, and the Academy is how we increase our base Veterancy, because elites are coming back home to teach instead of being thrown into the grinder again and again until they just don't come home. We're never going to match the other Great Powers on population, which leaves leaning on our training to close the gap.

I'd like to point out that the 3 Lamenters frigates will come online at the beginning of next turn. So we'll have 3 allied frigates working with us against the Orks.
yah wouldn't be surprised if it get us some more DP bonus too
That's a great point. We definitely need that on top of all the stuff that Lessons Learned is going to give us.

It's our Sole Advantage over everyone else except maybe the Tau--we can actually prepare solutions to identified problems in a time scale meaningful to a campaign.

once we are done with our 2 neighboring system and get them intergated(which yes will be a bit) I think we should buckle down and secure our core system from subversion while also making even a more a stronghold of the droman creed. Then dealing with the last 2 doctrineal disputes/ambiguities we have remaining at the moment.
