Sounds good. I kind of want Alectai's feedback on the Gungnir-class, since it definitely has room for improvement, but honestly I'm not too pressed about it. Call me a gacha addict, I want to clear out the DAOT ruins too.
Uh, actually, @HeroCooky do you want us to do the colors/motto/etc for the Knight Orders in this vote if we're establishing them?
Thanks!
And actually, I don't think so, it was just Cooky Approved as a designed (the Pantagruel with a lance, not sure about the Gungnir. I kind of feel that the Symphonia Arcanum Arma might be pushing it). I guess another "for the morning" question is does the Gungnir (or Pantagruel for that matter) get to kill fleets with its gun, or nah? Or does it need the Lance Scattershot Lens for a wide enough spread to wreck a fleet?
I kind of feel it might fall victim to the fact that while the Wings is good enough to kill any single target, fleets are a bit spread out, which might require the Scattershot Lens, and the Hare Bnuuy equipment to make sure it hits. (If they're in Phalanx though, they're super cooked). That being said, having a super-long-range Lance that's good enough to kill worlds is something we might want for something like Necron World Engines or Ork Attack Moons. We have a lot of Lance-boosting technology, so being able to apply that to an Exterminatus-grade weapon is too good not to try at least once, and bringing the whole set of party favors to the Slaaneshi feels right.
But yeah, I guess I'll hold off until Cooky confirms in the morning or something.

This is an old post but I like to imagine that anytime we get faster ships the admiralty is chanting "MORE Gs" while our engineering team is scrambling to make it work out.

How viable is it if we just spammed a bunch of Exterminatus-armed Temple Ships? I vaguely remember them costing less than 100 Fleet Construction Points (equivalent to Grand Cruisers), so we'd be able to make a bit more than 19 Temple Ships per action.
We may be able to if we use multiple Divine Laser of Doom Ships on that singular Daemonworld, but we'd have to design them first.
I just checked back and saw no vote. So I'm making one.

@Neablis I like the vote, but I think that instead of setting out on an expedition, we should be looking to make more Titans - specifically the 1 Action for 50 Grandis. We'll have the Biggest Titan grade with this and we already have a group of middle of the pack Titans. So it would be good to fill out the hole in our Titan forces in the lower but far more numerous titans. I bet that the Slannesh cult has invested heavily in its Titan legions and it would be really horrible to just make a Deus Machina and then get it beaten up by a hoard of smaller Titans like what we did to the Black Cat Ascendancy. Also, I really don't like how the expedition's take an entire day's worth of updates out of our limited supply. I have an idea to deal with that but it needs a bit more workshopping before I post it.
Edit: And we don't even need a sketch for a Grandis design.

It would prevent me from making it an Update Turn post, so yeah.
Nah, because when that planet-shattering laser powers-up, you notice that across the system. So suddenly your ship with a spinal laser has a massive target on its back and a massice sign above its bunny-ears that reads: "WHOMEVER I POINT AT IS DEAD IN TWENTY MINUTES OR SO!" The scattershot would just make it very short ranged and still take enough time to mission kill asap for enemy fleets..BlueHelix said:
Btw, are our Exterminatus weapons planet-crackers or neutron-sweepers (to put it into Stellaris terms)?
I'm pretty sure they are the former.
Hm. We definitely wanna upgrade Love from I to III soon, given Love Unto Death... but no other Melody is a top-priority...
Ah well. If at one point we take a turn doing two Psykana actions, Class Is In Session will mean it's actually five Psykana actions, at which point we can dedicate one to Melodies and the rest to Songs and Symphonies. ...Mostly Symphonies, it's abominable that we've only researched two so far. XD

We should still work on getting all melodies to 1 (and the ones in Important songs to 3, obviously).

They are, in order;
-A Chronometric Bomb
-Big Feck-Off Laser Of Doom
-Weaponized Kudzu
-Kinetic Kill Vehicle
-Star Child Boops A Planet
Hmmmmm, is it possible for us to combine two of those sometime in the future...? Say the second and the last?
So
-the pacifist shield thing, but getting it stuck in time instead (or esoteric way of cracking?)
-cracker
-sweeper
-cracker
-sweeper?
In that kudzu and boop leave a colonizable planet while the rest don't?
If the Big Feck-Off Laser of Doom can fire continuously and accurately for more than a few seconds it might be possible to use it as a fleet killer. All the ship would need to do is turn a couple degrees here and there and make a few sweeping arcs across the enemy fleet.

No. One per ship.
No, they are Exterminatus Weapons. Planet's fucked after them.
Cool, thanks, and cool, thanks!
Uhh, just to check, can we remake old Temple Ship designs (and what's their fleet point value) or is it bespoke each time? Or is it design only bespoke each time.
Because I think yeah actually more temple ships are important because—
We don't have our old Temple Ships back yet, and Daemon Worlds are mega juiced, and I'd like to have some Exterminatus grade weapons on tithe docket.

Bespoke. They are meant to be made for a purpose, for a reason, and for and age, not mass-produced weapons or utilities.
They are Temples first, ships second.
@HeroCooky could we make a song to learn how other Starchild nations are doing? Because we open one of the seals for starchild centuries ago and there wasn't galactic echo of them doing something similar
