I think maybe to just get it actually started so that it completes in the background, but I honestly could see a compromise plan where one replaced the colonization (for now) with the Psykana.

I'm actually wondering if we should stick with the Colonization and do the Super Taurus. Depends on if we need the fortress cracker or not.

The navy has told us that we'll need a bunch more Andromedas once the current unpleasantness is over. I think we'll want an upgraded design ready before we build them.

Already told you, literally no point to a Super Andromeda that isn't Feature Creep. There's very little we can add to it that actively improves it at its current role, and a lot of things we can add that makes it more expensive to be a shittier Libra-T.

Actually, @HeroCooky , is the major bottleneck right now just the Enemy being tough and impossible to grind down quickly? Or are there any major things we're lacking right now?

You lack Andromedas. You need at least six more. In fact; if you try to start another Operation without getting more Andromedas, your Navy will literally say "No" to your face, resulting in a Sub-Turn where you can either escalate or back down and pivot into building more Andromedas.

You have reached the size where it would take several years to move from one end of your territory to the other without an Andromeda or Choir, and you very much lack the first.

Understood!

@The Laurent Compromise Plan? Psykana and Cathedrals and an Andromeda Build? Then we do the second Andromeda Build next turn while starting the Archive, and then we have our last action for Reaction or Colonizing those systems I've pointed out as major chokepoints?

EDIT: Something like this.

[X] Plan: Reasonable Compromise Plan
-[X] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Hope, Health)
-[X] [Military] [Construct] A Warp Ship
--[X] 3x Andromeda
-[X] [Faith] Cathedrals of the Star Child

Honestly, I think our next Psykana purchase after giving some more ammunition/Melodies should be to try to get Navigator Song 2.0 and see if that helps, @Alectai . Can you remember the exact Melodies for it?

[X] Plan: Reasonable Compromise Plan--Slightly Changed Psykana
-[X] [Psykana] Conduct Two Melodies (Fire II, Health)
-[X] [Military] [Construct] A Warp Ship
--[X] 3x Andromeda
-[X] [Faith] Cathedrals of the Star Child

I actually think I like the first (the Reasonable Compromise Plan) better, but this would be a version that also moved slightly more towards getting the Navigator II song.

I disagree.

An upgraded Andromeda isn't going to be any more expensive than our current design at the level of abstraction we're working on. We're going to have a lot of them so an upgrade is definitely called for here.

I think having a bunch of backup command carriers that don't take up slots is worth an action.

Okay, yeah, we don't have the tech yet to make them major logistical assets

I mean, we can still make them minor logistical assets? Putting small manufactories and the improved supply generation would still allow our Andromedas to restock consumable ammunition for ships in the fleet, harvest the materials for said production of consumables, and as supplement the diets of crews with fresher foodstuff made via onboard hydroponics.

This isn't something we desperately need, of course, so I don't think we should worry about getting an Andromeda-S out before this next crash-built batch, but I think they'd be worthwhile additions to the design eventually.

Regarding the actual vote:

[X] Plan Reinforce and Rearm
-[X] [Military] [Construct] A Warp Ship - 3x Andromeda-Class Command Ships
-[X] [Military] Create 3x Blazing Sun War-Packs]
-[X] Research
--[X] Karnivore Weapon And Equipment Loadouts

[X] Plan Reinforcements and Logistic Boosts
-[X] [Military] [Construct] A Warp Ship - 3x Andromeda-Class Command Ships
-[X] [Military] Create 3x Blazing Sun War-Packs]
-[X] [General] Develop The Federations'...
-[X] Military Industry V

We have almost twice as much DP to work with now and higher base stats. Even if we can't put it all into improving the Andromedas primary purpose it's far from pointless.
