@HeroCooky , I know you're asleep, but can we at least offer the Monitors the Human Form Surrender Offer, etc, etc, for Voxx Secondus? Since they're going to be basically abandoned by the rest of the mobile forces.

Ah, should have been in there from the start (lucky that I checked the thread one last time
). Added a line at the end.
Though that begs the question, would building defenses count as a military action? If so, I have a really Funny idea that will get Dorn to nod his head in approval.
For that, we can just keep our Aries Corvettes in the back towards them. They're undoubtedly too fragile for the frontline nowadays, but they can still pack a punch. And we saw that their armor and shields would be useless either way when it comes to the Flyssas so they'll make up for that with having enough firepower for 2 Swords.
More like Psytech is too esoteric for our eggheads right now since we barely understand it.

they are dogmatic
they can get a boost to a specific skill at cost of crippling everything else
they put their research into AI and psytech,so something else must been neglected

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
But still, Warp Sliders would be nice to have.

i mean,the psyker ships are just OP with no real inmediate counter against them and only way to stop them is brute force through numbers
wich as others put it,is fine,is something no one could have really prepared for and enemies gotta have their gimmicks
but if the sheer power of the ships came esentially as wild surprise
then why no expect another super duper secret second fleet to drop on us?
we didnt get a warning on the sheer power of them,why should we assume this are their only numbers or even their most powerful ships?
the precendent is,the enemy has agency and will have cards under their sleeves that will break the setting that you will not know untill last minute,wich is fine narrative wise
dont be surprised if we expect another card under the sleeve to appear

The only good news is that the sheer expense involved in the Flyssas should suggest they don't have that many similar "Inquisitorial Fortress Vault" stuff. The Blackstone relics are irreplaceable even dismissing the "10 billion souls per ship" cost. And Blanks are rare beyond rare, and apparently have been getting stockpiled for a very long time.
Probably. I'm curious, what you got?
We spend 5 actions in a single Turn Fortifying THE SHIT out of Echish. Just make it the most fortified system in all of Subsector Breskal, if not the Sector itself.
Of course, this would be somewhat limited and the effectiveness questionable, but I am mostly suggesting it b/c I think it would be most meme worthy for when the Duchy does their counterattack they're utterly shocked to find they have run headfirst into a bunch of fortifications that CERTAINLY WERE NOT THERE last they checked and seems completely infeasible for them to be able to get them all setup in so short a time.
And who knows? Maybe we'LL get a dynamic similar to this:

Doesn't get around the lack of Blackstone, which can only be extracted from Necron Tombs or similar such "Lost, presumed eaten by the locals" hazard zones.
Would studying AI be considered an Heretic Choice?

To be clear here, by the way, they're apparently not sacrificing Human souls (for that, they're absolutely sacrificing Humans in other ways)? It's just a lot of animals... and Xenos.
My reading was actually they found a necron vault or something. I doubt they're making more of those things.
Also the ringyards might contain something they need to build the Flyssas leaving them unable to build more until they spend the AP needed to replace it at another yard.
They seem to use a torpedo heavy force backed by lancers and pystech ships.
Does the Anti-Voidcraft Defenses - A coherent layer of overlapping firing zones for anti-voidcraft weaponry installed all across the hulls of a ship will make boarding actions that much harder and less likely to succeed. Also works against enemy missiles, tiny asteroids, and other small hostile objects.
help against torpedoes?

It's one of the few unambiguous Ultra Heresy statements baked into the very foundation of Mechanicus doctrine. "12. The Soulless Sentience of the enemy of all life"
You're god damn right it is. It's one of the few Warnings that is Utterly unambiguous. Something even a layman would realize is beyond common Heresy and straight into the unforgiveable levels.
Explicitly says they have to be Sapient.

so that means we can use Ork or Drukhari souls for that?
Yep, it does call out that it will target missiles and other small hostile objects. Basically, if the normal Point Defense can shoot it, these defenses will help deal with them.
I think they meant whether or not we would dip into being Heretical if we researched AI. Thankfully, we did lay out that a while ago a framework for ethical AI research and development.
Iirc, our stance is 'don't try to create it on purpose, if it happens by chance and it has a soul then its okay'.
I think we do allow them to be created, but the AI has to go through a developmental stage like any other person and not just dump an immense amount of information and power into its hands from the get-go.

I think I'd like to go for a lot of psytech, and being able to direct it is very significant if there are 6 options and most of them take more than one action.

is open to interpretation
but what we oppose is artificial souls (aka,copy pasting personality and personhood on mass on a quick manner)
not artificial intelligence in principle

Voting for this while we landed a solid victory at Voxx Prime we still need our action economy to build fleets right now given the whole Duchy is probably looking our way given their primary recruiting world just got invaded. So we need ships to push to Echish to create a chokepoint while we're busy actually securing Voxx Prime. And if that means letting the dice decide on what Psytech we get then I'm fine with that cause as is we hardly touch our own Psi-tech, so regardless this will push our Psi-tech levels up by centuries even if nothing else is done.
