I think that a lot of what the plan Practical Considerations is promising is too specific? Like, committing specifically to making Andromedas is... why?
It's a restructing of the entire interstellar civilian economy, a change in the roles and obligations of the choirs, and a decadal construction project. It's not a minor thing that can be handled later, it's something that requires massive coordination, now.
Do the warp ships involved need to be Andromeda's? No, I just used the name because we don't have any other vessels that serve that role.
(Also, if you're complaining about specifics, the birth control thing is just a specific write-in for Vox primus to take, and so is space station construction. Your fifth point is not even a write in action, it's a regular action. None of those really requires a constitutional amendment).
Like, comparing the two plans :
A Balanced Breakfast
- Should be a write in : Space station construction
- Diplomatic outreach, :
Irritia
- Constitutional Mandate : Additional housing construction
- Should be a write-in : Birth control on Vox Primus
- Regulat Action-ish : Sing a Song (Choose at least Three below.)
Practical Consideration
- Constitutional alteration : Reorganizing the entire basis of the interstellar economy to a new means of transportation
- Diplomatic outreach, :
Irritia
- Regular action-ish? : Qulach's forge + research
- Should be a write-in : Birth control on Vox Primus
- Should be a write in : Vox Primus Choirs
As you see, both plans have the exact same problem of specificity and write-in's rather than broad policies.
And honestly, when dealing with specifics, I'd rather have a plan that calls for a specific investment in transportation infrastructure (which we know we'd need regardless of whether we try to help the people of Vox Primus locally, have them migrate, give them food, try to take over the local agri worlds, and so on), than a plan that locks in not just to one specific way of helping them (migration), but goes even further and tries to lock in the exact way and destination of where the resettlement will occur. Like, if anything is too specific, it's that.
We should only decide between resettling on planets, spacestations or elsewhere later, when we can actually see the relative cost of all those options.
