How big are the teleportarium beacons mentioned in the old version?
Idea for a Startick/Darkstar.b design.
Current Darkstar with a teleportarium beacon in the infantry compartment,
  1. attaches itself to the to-be-invaded enemy ship
  2. deploys its load of boarding infantry
  3. while/when the ships shields are suppressed turns on the teleportarium beacon so that the main ships can teleport more infantry on board of the Startick (who then board the enemy, too)

    • [X] Plan: The Gravity Generation
      -[X][Fighter] Cepheid-class Strike Fighter
      --[X] The Cepheid-class Strike Fighter is an all-rounder craft making full use of the technologies developed in recent years to create what may be the finest and most well-balanced fighter craft in the galaxy today, capable of contesting even the works of the Elder Species that still lurk in the distance. The Cepheid-class makes use of a single Superheavy Sibling-class Void Automata, controlled by one of its Thule compliment as a dedicated support weapon, capable of emitting an omnidirectional Power Field in short bursts--either to be deployed to intercept incoming fire, or to be used as an all-purpose wrecking ball against external voidship armaments--and in the case of particularly clever crews, other strike craft. It can be equipped with a variety of primary armaments, but favors a long range plasma-pulse cannon renowned for its accuracy and relative projectile speed, with a number of potent close-in laser batteries able to intercept incoming guided weapons or other strike craft handled by the ship's Weapons Officer. For specific missions, it can be fitted with up to four missile pods, able to deploy any form of munition available to the Federation's shipwrights, and configured accordingly based on intended role. Its relatively aerodynamic structure (For a voidcraft) and superb gravity manipulation techniques also allow it to be deployed in atmospheric combat with no loss in manueverability or combat effectiveness, making it a phenomenal all-purpose strike craft.
      -[X][Interceptor] Pulsar-class Void Superiority Fighter
      --[X] The Pulsar-class Void Superiority Fighter, on the other hand, is intended for the purpose of achieving Void Space Superiority, a craft as fast as possible, with the most accurate and destructive armament achievable, at the lowest weight imaginable, and damned the cost. This Interceptor is intended for experienced Thules, as many of the greatest challenges and the greatest responsibilities of a small craft wing is to prevent the enemy from harming those under your protection. To that end, it has an extremely overbuilt single engine thruster that the rest of the hull is built around, intending to serve as low a profile as possible while arranging as many guns on target as possible. Operated by two Thules--a pilot and a navigator--the Pulsar-class is capable of thrust that even Fourth Generation models aren't capable of fully mitigating, and they can only carry a fraction of the armor and defenses of a standard fighter. Little more is needed, as the Pulsar only needs so much force to take down its desired prey--torpedoes and enemy strike craft, and is equipped with a pair of high-powered rotary lascannons as its primary armament, and is further equipped with a number of small-scale splitter missiles able to force their way through enemy point defense and escort screens to shut down even the heaviest ordnance attacks. The navigator--among their obvious duty of keeping the pilot pointed in the right direction, is also responsible for wrangling the Pulsar's two Sibling-class Void Automata, frequently equipped with high mobility packs and lascannon arrays to provide added punch and the necessary double-taps when the first pass wasn't enough to solve your problem. Unlike the Cepheid-class, its speed and light armor render it unsuited for atmospheric combat... Or more accurately, "You can take it there if you're insane enough to try, but you probably don't want your hull to catch fire and explode from air resistance at the speeds this thing is capable of, and if you're going to slow down... Why bother?"
      -[X][Boarder] Dark Star-class Assault Craft
      --[X] While dedicated Assault ships are sparingly employed by the Federation Star Navy, they have nonetheless been watching their allies in the Lamenters work their magic at a distance--and developments in stealth and low-emission thrust technology from studies of Concrete Mastercraft have enabled a new breakthrough. Thus, the Dark Star-class Assault Craft was born. Operated by a two Thule team--a pilot and an engineer, the Dark Star is built with the best stealth technology that can be miniaturized without overtly compromising its defenses, making use of gravity manipulation and the chaos of void warfare to enter close range to a target vessel or station. Once achieving close quarters range, the Dark Star can begin its work, providing data through on the enemy craft through hull-penetrating sensors, all to seek out a vulnerable intrusion point to its compliment of void infantry to achieve maximum gain in the scope of their mission. This subtle dagger requires much patience and care from its operators, but enables even the otherwise mortal soldiers of the Federation to make their displeasure known in the carnage of inter-ship combat.
      -[X][Bomber] Supernova-class Bomber
      --[X] When shattering a capital ship in a single bombing run is what you need, the Supernova Bomber will provide. A veritable fortress of armor and weapons, closer in scale to a Knight than any standard vehicle, the Supernova-class possesses a crew of five Thules. A pilot, a navigator, two gunners, and an engineer. Designed to force its way into harm's way and deliver the message of the Star Child to even the most stubborn of listeners. It is strongly equipped with defensive lascannons, and has a heavy assault cannon on the nose for just that extra bit of high speed anti-armor mulching, but its real strength are its anti-shipping missiles. Veritable goliaths packed with all manner of explosive substances, a salvo delivered to just the right place can cripple a Heavy Cruiser with ease--and that assumes you're using one of the standard issue packages instead of one of the more specialized armaments available, such as radiation-bombs, gravity-compressors--if it is horrible and can be put on a five thousand kilogram missile, it can be loaded. In spite of its terrifying striking power though, the Supernova possesses remarkable agility for a bomber, capable of maneuvers closer to that of 2nd generation fighters than the monster it is, even if it can only be called sluggish in comparison to its siblings. Its two Siblings--handled by the bomber's Engineer--further supplement it's defenses, being equipped to conduct field repairs and produce supplementary power fields to deflect particularly dangerous fire--and in times of greatest exigency, used to take a blow so that the Supernova itself can complete its mission.

    • 310.M43 - Black Cat's Claw
  • Threadmarks
    • Aboard the Wander-Paths-That-Converge-Again, two Kil'drabi stood within one of the many viewing galleries lining the inside of their home, the ship outfitted with enough cameras to allow these interior rooms to display the outside with perfect clarity...even if this particular room was currently experiencing -64C° temperatures due to a cooling unit routing its flow through the gallery thanks to a mechanical failure, leading to a slightly sub-optimal viewing experience, what with the frost collecting on the screens and all.

    Nonetheless, Maker-of-Clockwork-Life and Shaped-By-Unspoken-Truths stood side by side in the gallery, silently looking out into the endless expanse...and the Battlecolony they had been born on, Autumn's Harvest, floating in the void, its engine and command deck separated, thousands of metal fragments floating between the splayed-out guts and skeleton of the mighty vessel glittering in a thousand hues thanks to the local star reflecting off of the debris field.

    Slowly, Maker-of-Clockwork-Life turned to her lifelong friend and glowered. "This must be the second most stupid thing I have ever seen."

    "Only the second? What is the first?" Shaped-By-Unspoken-Truths asked in turn, still watching the massive foundries of the Autumn supply the hundreds of construction ships surrounding it, a new, and titanic, spine slowly forming behind the vessel, the engines long towed safely far away. Where the spine had already been set, a new skeleton of metal began to snake out, before guts and muscle were added by millions of Kil'drabi workers filling out the construction.

    "Some Irrita are trying to create a...what's it called...ah, Birchworld around Abyssal Eye, fully out of a void-adapted ecosystem that feeds on the black hole's emissions."

    "Sounds kind of fascinating, actually," Shaped-By-Unspoken-Truths replied with a hum, looking unbothered by the continued glower. "But why's this the first?"

    "...are you serious? We are adding over twenty kilometers to our Battlecolonies! All of them! How is this not stupid?!" Maker-of-Clockwork-Life growled, looking out at the massive construction where, in essence, a new ship was being created, and the old was repurposed as basically nothing more than spare parts and guideline points. Even the engine block was being quadrupled before it was slated to be attached again.

    "Well, I heard it was because the Admiralcy wanted to avoid the headache of building new ship classes to fit the growing fleets."

    "...I kind of hate that I understand that," Maker-of-Clockwork-Life murmured, glaring at the screens, only for Shaped-By-Unspoken-Truths to lean over to her.

    "Don't say this to anyone," they whispered, "but I know the real reason." With that, they had her attention. "The Admiralcy did this not because they did not want to deal with the paperwork," Shaped-By-Unspoken-Truths glanced around as if to make sure they were alone, "but because they got information that the Star Navy won't build their Battleships larger than 28 kilometers. So we are building our Battlecolonies 28 kilometers and one-meter lo-" and with that, found themselves being swatted at by two of Clockwork's arms, an indignant huff escaping her as Truths made a mock-retreat, laughing all the while.

    There is war to be had and battle to be made. Send troops to resolve issues, squash opposition to the Star Child and Humanity and all Their Protectorates, and send ships to scout neighboring systems to understand what is happening there.

    [] [Psykana] Conduct Six Melodies (0.8/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melody]
    The Celestial Choir has been given the means; with time, they shall conduct their songs. They will listen to the Warp and filter out the false whispers from the slumbering guidance of the Star Child. In halting prayer and stumbling humming, the truth will be stripped until nothing but it remains in the hands of those who shall make it anew into power to be wielded by the Choirs to come. As there are 10 Celestial Choirs free to pursue research, the High Council can ask them to pursue a target instead of what comes close. This will, naturally, be lost once they dip below 10 Choirs.

    [] [Psykana] Sing a Symphony (Choose Five Songs)

    • Ok, my plan template was basically:

    [] Plan: Ship Designs & Throwing the QM a bone
    -[] [Military] Construct God-Engines (20x Grandis (0/1) (Add 50% Progress to a Design action)
    -[] [Military] The Ancient's Bone-Mender Temple (Add 50% Progress to a Design action)
    -[] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes (Bonus from Agenda)
    -[] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes (Bonus from Heartbeat of Industry)
    -[] [Faith] Saint Candidate Thule-6969 HRMHVR

    But I would also be down for
    [] Plan: Ship Designs & Pact with the Duchy
    -[] [Military] Construct God-Engines (20x Grandis (0/1) (Add 50% Progress to a Design action)
    -[] [Military] The Ancient's Bone-Mender Temple (Add 50% Progress to a Design action)
    -[] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes (Bonus from Agenda)
    -[] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes (Bonus from Heartbeat of Industry)
    -[] Free Neutrality Agreement

    There's more free actions & stuff to deal with, but I think this is the basics. We could swap the
    -[] [Military] Construct God-Engines (20x Grandis (0/1) (Add 50% Progress to a Design action)
    to
    -[] [Military] The Ancient's Jubilant Den Add 50% Progress to a Design action)
    and i would be fine with that,

    As for free actions, probably add
    -[] [Psykana][Free] Turn off Glint of Genius, Turn on Heartbeat of Industry and Devouring Mechadendrite at full strength, 100 Choirs into Hippity Hoppity, Hiss of the Steam Valves & Foretold Luminous Paths Seen. All remaining choirs into See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil, Do No Evil while leaving 50 free for auto-tickers.
    -[] [Free] Switch ISC to Green Horizons
    -[] [Military] [Free] Redesign our Fleet Structure & build process to account for larger ships and make a process for new fleet design.

    @HeroCooky Questions:
    1. I think this vote from before didn't get accounted for: -[] [Free] Assign automated frigate production to Taurus-S Troopship production
    2. We didn't find a Hippity Hoppity target this turn?
    3. It's intentional that -[] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes doesn't have the (Add 50% Progress to another choice when taken.) text?

    This doesn't work - every military choice has (Add 50% Progress to another choice when taken.) except

    Seriously? We can't take the action twice and get the bonus?
     
    I agree! I just think we are choosing between a 5 action turn and a 3 action turn. I've edited my question to HeroCooky above to ask. If the design action does give us the +50% then we can do 2 design actions and have a 4-action turn I'm ok with that. I don't think it's important to design more titans/go on too many expeditions now.

    Oh yeah @HeroCooky , you said that the Green Arc Cannons are great against shields but terrible against armor, are the Arc Lances also bad against armor or do they actually do lots of damage too?
     
    Added some missing Actions and added the missing Lamenters Battlebarge.

    Edit: Turned out some other stuff was missing. Added that too.

    Directly opposite. Great against Armor, bad against Shields. :V
