And now that I'm finally free from doing College shit, let's see what's up.....

And look at that, Lone Wave finally remembers the Webway portal sitting conveniently close to MONK'IEGH territory. Good on us for not touching it.

Now that things are somewhat calm we should get some Psykana stuff done, maybe make a another song as well, Hero has said we could eventually make the Eldar gawk at us if we develop our Psykana more. So yeah, I really want to make the Space Elves seethe.

Other than that....maybe set up a colony somewhere? More of us that exist the better off we'll be.
 
I was just looking at an interactive map of the 40K galaxy, and a segmentum is nothing in size, and we don't even have one fully claimed for us.
We are a nuiscance, nothing more for the power that be but with faith and technology, we can fuck shit up and be the hero the galaxy needs. Question: Is the warp still calm around our holdings? Maybe we can do a song that lets us calm and ward the warp so we have an easier transition with our ships.

I will say that I think for the weapons we should do 2 light prow lances and 1 medium lance turret able to deal with anything that tries to jump it. Let me give my own view on this with the updated stuff.

[] Sagittarius-Secundus Class Lance Frigate
-[] 1.700 Meters (+2 DP)
-[] Width - 500 Meters
-[] Acceleration - 7 Gravities
-[] Armor - Thick Single Hull
-[] Shields - One Array
-[] Weapons - 2x Light Prow Lances/1x Medium Lance Turret (-9)
-[] Equipment - Armored Lifepods/Lattice Hulls/Superior Gravimetric Engine Calculations/Lense Cogitation Matrix Lattice/Armored Prow/Refractive Hull Coating/Ship Shrines (-12)

Can you fit more than one weapon on the prow? That said, I prefer the flexibility of the 2 turrets as while ideally the Sagi will be engaging the enemy in its forward arc, that may not always be the case. Being down 1/3 of its weapons is better than being down 2/3 in this case.

Segmentums are huge, Sectors not so much, and Sub-Sectors are just groups of star-systems in a Sector that have stable Warp Routes connecting them.

Mind you, Ultima Segmentum is the size of two Segmentums because it encompasses half the fucking galaxy because Ultima Segmentum is just "Everything corewards of Terra that isn't part of Segmentum Solar", but the Imperium wasn't designed to make sense

Though if you look at the map, HeroCooky is using a rather large sector size, so it's not that bad. (Or rather, sectors and subsectors themselves aren't volumes of space containing everything within them, and also are rarely adjacent to their neighbors).

To be clear, if I was convinced that completing this Faith action would count as the "last Faith Action" to let us do some cool 555 thing, I'd vote for @Alectai 's plan, but I'm not convinced and I like Psykana.
 
I think I'd like to propose that for the next several turns we do a full jolly cooperation infrastructure turn if possible, and only do other things (songs, ship design, etc.) if there's a fire we need to step on immediately, like for this turn the webway defenses.
 
Just posting @Alectai's plan for the vote.

There's a good enoughchance of psykana goodies, and we should fill out the branches anyways. Especially before we preach to the Asharn

I misunderstood part of this, but what do you mean "good enough chance of psykana goodies"?
 
Again, I don't understand the idea that completing this Faith action will "fill the set"?

Like, this action did not even exist until a few turns again. No doubt there are other aspects of the Faith that we haven't thought to deal with that'll crop up over the next century.
 
Like, I guess the real thing would basically be between thinking those Psykana are better, and thinking the Revolution is better... that feels like the actual question. We definitely should take both, though it's going to be a bit considering the Infrastructure turns we've been teasing...

Somewhat dumb question, @HeroCooky, but in the ship building info it says our doctrine causes shield and acceleration to be one step cheaper. Is that baked into the scale already or does the discount come in after? Like for example we go 2 steps down in the shields slide option on a ship, it'll give us 3 DP instead of the base 2 DP?
