Oh, when you're up @HeroCooky .

Does Harsh Crew Training convey the same benefits as Strict Pilot Training--just to the entire crew instead of the strike craft pilots? If so, would it be a better use of that point to put it in Gene Lines instead? Or are Assault Boats a bit different than Fighters/Bombers?

Welp.

Really hope people aren't meming their way into functionally surrendering an action when we're at war .

Fingers crossed that we don't end up needing that action.
 
so what's the overall situation with neon, they just reinforcing at a forge word while we have one action locked to building 4 of our new Crux-S?

It's more the choice of Faith action that's making me grumble, at least Cathedrals could make sense.

But I could find myself mistaken too, I'll own it if it happens, I just think it's a weird diversion to figure out how we treat outside Psykers when we're fighting a faction that kills almost all of theirs.

It feels like just taking the action because it's been there a while, and that's why it doesn't sit rightly with me.

I wanted an action that was Psykana-focused, the place where Faith and Pyskana meet is decent spot, and it's actually also entirely valid to pick an action because you feel it's been neglected.
 
I really don't understand why doing the psykana of the Outsiders right now. Like I could maybe understand doing the temples or do a new melody but the faith psykana action when we have no real impetus to do it? Like maybe if the Yenari got their first real psyker or if we were actually talking to the Eldar it would be useful but as is it's kind of not necessary at all and probably won't be necessary for centuries.

We could randomly run into a group with a psychic tradition willing to trade but will only be around mid turn or something in which case we would have wanted to have had this done way before than but that's kind of a super out there scenario.
 
Actually, since I can vote for multiple things.

[X] Plan: Deliver Us
-[X] Medical Services V
-[X] [Psykana] Conduct a Melody--Protection II

Protection II is both a path towards greater songs, and is probably also just generally a useful thing for us to have a Choir knowing during a war where there's plenty of reasons to look for Protection.

See? That second plan? I have zero qualms with it!

Long term is long term, but we shouldn't forget our current position either.
 
[X] Plan: Get the Medical and Start the Heavy Cruiser Design.

I'm happy with this. It's hard to go wrong with advancing our ship design, and if we don't start this project now, it's hard to imagine when we will.
 
Personally if I wanted to do a psykana action I would try sing a new song. Something like Creativity, Logic, Unity and Progress. Maybe throw in Song in to in hopes that it makes it better. Honestly might be worth just bugging QM about more songs cause they're very opaque lol.

Edit: Though we're going to get another free melody again next turn and who knows which one that could unlock. Cause if it gets us Machines than man my proposed Song with that would be a 1000 times better lol.

My own perspective is leery of the all-in focus. First, I'm not sure if a single Testbed Heavy Cruiser is actually going to change the path of this war even if it is completed in time.

Second, we've basically never had more than, like, 2-4 turns of comparative peace, so I sorta feel as if we just do all ship designs/military stuff, all the time when there's a conflict with the promise/vision of SURELY doing other things when we have peace... we'll actually just not do them at all. All plans, as a result of pre-locked actions, spend a dice on vital strategic/military stuff, and the winning plan last turn spent all three dice on military actions, two of them locked in and one of them chosen.

It's not that I don't think that there are ways we could be more prepared for the challenges we will face, so much as I'm not sure how an investment on getting a Heavy Cruiser in twenty years will really help with the problem we're facing now, which is so immediate that I'm not sure if even a Light Cruiser would get done in time for the first big shock of it.

On reflection "Other Psykana" might not be the best possible alternative, but there's also not actually another Psykana focused alternative (for the single AP that people are actually debating) that has even remotely enough votes to matter.
