...Guys, we were basically told in the update that it would be a very good idea to get to work on propagandizing Secundus right the hell now. I don't think we should be going for a plan that doesn't touch that.
 
[X] Plan: Spread Out
-[X] [General] Voxx Primus Population Crisis Preparations
--[X] Habitat Stations (0/?)
-[X] [General] Infiltrate (Voxx Secondus)
-[X] [General] Research
--[X] Advanced Servo-Skull Militarization Initiative
 
[X] Plan: They literally told us to infiltrate this "ASAP" so...
[X] Plan: Immediate but long-term bonuses

We were told as soon as possible not that it needs to happen immediately. And starting the infiltration next Turn gives them between 40 and 90 years for the infiltration that should be enough.
We have max 30 action before the war, if we dont do any terraforming we will need to invest between 15 and 20 of those in station building.
 
Okay, I'm finally at a the computer again due to things not going well and complications over here but what the hell!?

Edit: Man, they aren't giving you an easy time with all these requests, @Weaving_Dreamer. :V
Its not much but its honest work to keep us from forgetting about these. And I did encourage more people to do this. reaping what I sow. I'll be updating post as soon as I compile all of them.
 
Quick question. Is the thread taking a hiatus from regular turns? Generally only read thread marked posts and for a while now I've had no idea what progress is being made each turn.

We took a break to get everyone caught up on stuff we should know in universe because there was a kerfuffle close to a week back brought on by a player-QM information gap, so we're now up to date and are on the same page again.

New planet won't be ready in time anyway.

I laid out a pretty strong argument for Maphara's timeline working out, the same argument timeline works for Git and Nurn. See below:
I think taking Terraform Maphara this turn is essential.

Its almost the value of 10 Space Habitat actions and makes it a lot easier to avoid another action sink of dealing with civil unrest created by putting 2-4x more Hivers than local population on our home planets.
Not 24 Billion per world, that is for sure. Maybe 2. But that would cause heavy unrest due to culture clash and friction.

We don't know when the Duchy War will have to kick off but its looking a lot closer to 100-200 years from now than a couple turns ago. But Maphara doesn't have to be ready by then, since we likely can't evacuate Voxx Primus until the ground war is done, and the ground war will take an 'unknown amount of time' but its a war thats going to kill 350 billion people, it won't be fast.
1. You can certainly try an evacuation in a planetary warzone!
3. Just to make sure you are aware; taking Voxx, without a massive insurection helping you out, will churn through 50 SAGs per Turn. With said insurrection, you will be looking at around ~20 SAGs per Turn. With an unknown amount of time to take the Hive World.

And on top of that, we likely don't need to/can't evacuate hundreds of billions of people in a couple turns so there will be more time for Maphara to cook if needed. And we can likely leave some of the Hivers on planet for a couple turns if absolutely needed.
...if you try to integrate the planet instead of leaving it to fester until you have shifted enough people away to leave the planet a husk of itself.

If I could convince people of my sincerity maybe my plan could include Maphara the turn after next? But I honestly don't know if they'd think I was just trying to put it off forever or whatnot.
I believe you're sincere but I don't believe its realistic. The longer it is put off the less likely it is to happen. The research actions are important but not essential to happen this turn.

[X] Plan: We need more Things

Alright, sure. At least if we start later, we can dump 2 actions to infiltrating the agri-worlds if need be. Can't do that for terraforming.
And this plan still adds to our general infiltration attempts with skull bois.
 
You're a bit late, we agreed to do that last turn. It's got 19 turns before it's done.
There was a bit leading into that, I cleaned up the post a bit. I was trying to quote my own post, arranging everything with the mobile browser is garbage.

I also think we need to infiltrate Secudus now, I don't like the More Things Plan.

I picked
[] Plan: Immediate but long-term bonuses

But would take ASAP over More Things, if my opinion makes a difference for you.

Will stay with my last vote. Secundus can wait a turn. We don't need it right now, just in time for the revolution. If it turns out we are behind schedule infiltrating it, we can just drop another action on it with relatively little problem.

New planet though? 16 turns is the immutable timeframe, and it's a lot of time to wait. It's either now or never.
 
People vote however they like of course but I don't get why 2x research this turn is so essential. Completing it now or next turn or next makes no difference until we would put more than 3 actions into a SBG or build Civil fleet.

Terraforming is important I agree but timelines work up until Maphara comes online IMO, so there is still a couple turns wiggle room. Now is better to me.

We highly urge for Voxx Secundus to be Infiltrated as soon as possible
To me this means 'you should have already done the infiltration, do it now to get the most benefit'. As soon as possible is now, I'm not sure why people are throwing away info the QM is directly giving us.

Being inefficient in actions now, until we get the essentials done, means we have to make up for it later and so we won't be able to take that cool song, new ships, temple cruiser, dope research we've been waiting for, whatever, before the war starts.

We're doing it b/c the Servo-Skulls will help us with the infiltration and push the date back a bit and the Production Line Rationalization Programs sounds like it will improve our ability to produce fleets and since we need to make at least 2 of them as well as Civilian Fleets, bringing that action cost down a bit would be good for us.

It might also let planets support more SAGs
 
Bah. In 12 turns we're going to be scrambling for housing and it'll be too late to do it efficiently. Terraforming is now or never, and if the war lasts 40 years it'll be in time.

And I'll cite this message as an "I told you so."

Edit: sorry for the tone, I'm just feeling slightly annoyed that it feels like I have to fight tooth and nail for every terraforming action.
