The morale bonuse seem kinda flipped. I would think that giving a speech to our own ships would improve morale and giving a speech to enemy would lower theirs, wouldn't it? Or is Huntress just so much of a overly-dramatic bitch that everyone in our fleet collectively let out an "oh thank the Star-Child!" When they found out she wasn't going to give them a pre-battle speech.
Yeah, plus I have a feeling it's going to be hilarious.
Nah, best we got was the Cobra Destroyer and the Sword Frigate.
When it comes to canon ship designs, I just use 1d6chan which gives a general overview of the class an lists the speed, length and guns on the ship.

very descriptive entrance that is fitting given the battle about to happen. And damn that 'General Quarters' moment with the entire fleet and defenses waking up.
Ahhh shit, It might not be very clear or the like but having some sort of advance warning is always useful. Not sure what their plan was or if it was just to get them gathered up ready to deploy at a moment's notice.
Oh that's an image for how coming out of warp travel is since they are passing through and the warp predators would be clawing at the edges trying to escapes before being pushed back into it. and yah I would assume battles of this size is were rare in our sectors until we came across the Dutchy since they had these numbers before. Still to have this amount lead by 'battleships' would have them be panicking. I really hope those defensive stations help a lot or we can turn some ships.
So we know where ship is the Flagship and the name of it to keep in mind. Hot damn, Eight Thousand strike craft. At the least we know to avoid the damn Null-Net now.
FUCK! that's ALL we have? okay seriously, if it isn't to replace any losses among the lighter ships, use banked shipbuilding points in a few turns to get more of this. We were shown the insane these things have, we should have built more then this. Damn it. We'll see what we can do after but fuck that's a big advantage given up.
True, for Heavy cruisers they are fast, much more then you'd expect but at 3 I doubt they will be catching even light cruisers unless the light cruisers dumped speed or we out maneuver them to the point speed isn't a factor.
Good Luck on that Cookie, it will be hard with muses and ideas pulling you in every direction. Take as long as you need.
We really can't. Remember the Array that scans the system, we won't be able to stealth an approach due to that.
.... Oh fuck did we pull a Genestealer thing with the converts and people not understanding what the plan was and what they were getting into? I think the Xenos living with us will be a surprise... oh boy that's going to be awkward.
I assume it would be when everything went to hell and the Duchty going into wartime mode.
OH good, good. they have an idea but its idealized no doubt to what that would look like. I don't know if we are going to get a second faction pushing for us to push further into the Dutchy.
I don't see why not, I guess the problem is once the trigger is pulled that's it. no matter what, they will continue on, pushing until the end, with or without us. I guess one of the things will be do to this accepting surrender of the nobility is not an option.
I doubt it's that. Not only with how precise they were, but to the degree they left no trace at all points to some fuckery going on that we don't know about yet.
TBF, unlike us they can call upon up to 4 Gods who are actually awake and alive by sacrificing fuckloads of people. And their subversion of Neon still was something that took them up to a century and several actions to do.
How will this force them to pop their roll bonus early again?
Plus with how much the vote is weighed against that other option, I really am curious about what it would do. A QM rarely weighs so heavily against an option unless it would be really something special.
It says that it will damage enemy morale. Last time against Neon, when their morale got too low they burned their roll bonus to restore it.
So the faster we reduce their morale, the faster they will have to start popping heads to avoid mutinies which will make their rolls worse.
Still, I don't think you're really thinking this through that much. Right now they think we're some incredibly hostile Xenos that want to exterminate them, if we give a speech to them telling them that we're actually a multi-species (but predominantly human) polity here on a war of liberation, that might get more of them to have second thoughts.
If this whole vote was JUST a matter of morale, why would 4 votes of giving a speech to the enemy fleet only count as 1 for giving a speech to ours? There's something more going on here, and I have a feeling that waxing poetic to our foes may do a lot more than you might think.
Remember, the QM is willing to lie and be mercantile with the truth and has been so with us on several occasions. The fact they're seemingly trying to lock this option out when this never happened before tells me that this is a lot bigger than you might think it is.

You have the opposite of it.
Nope. Pre-battle speeches/demands being lobbed at another are quite common in 40k, so an enemy fleet popping into the system to tell you your drip is whack and you're about to get teabagged is quite normal, and a source of morale bolstering for those who give the shit-talking. Just burning into the system without saying anything, shortly before the mother of all revolts pops...shit's fucked, man.
And the voting weight is due to a combination of your Action priorities in the past, your willingness to engage in mutually beneficial diplomacy, the attitude of the thread (which acts in-quest as the folk making the priorities for the nation) against Van Zandt, and how you think the war will go.

Why are we worrying about our people's morale when they're all die-hard Star-Child worshippers and volunteers?
We want as many of them to surrender as soon as possible, that's why we dedicated so many actions to infiltrating them, why are people now voting against that? Telling them that, no, we're not in fact here to kill/torture/enslave everyone seems like the most obvious thing to do.
Damn vote weights.
EDIT: Not seriously complaining btw.
