[X] Medium Infantry Fighting Vehicle: Nemean
-[X] With over a millennium of improvements on the technologies used by the Federation in constructing machines. An alternative to the Ranger was desired, made to handle intense battles with more rugged armor and survivability. The Nemean keeps the Ranger's trademark hover technology for its use in traversing terrain, but is a far larger and bulkier machine. It's larger size able to carry at most two squads of infantry or less depending on the size of some species, offering them decent protection due to the thick layer of armor on the sides and newly implemented Sheild Generator covering the front of the Nemean. Of course it still relies on mostly the same weapons as the Ranger, with Multi-Lasers and Hunter-Killer missiles, with a third option granted by it's increased size for a Heavy Bolter gunner position on the back for supporting infantry pushes or protecting Tanks from enemy attack.
My attempt at a Medium Infantry Fighting Vehicle, please tell me if it needs some tweaking, I'm open to suggestion
Also tangent I get tired of people think everything should be based on the same chassis and modular
Cause you don't want your app to have the same armor and fuel costs as a tank
I like this plan Cause only the light vehicles are modular
The Hephaestus is a massive vehicle rivaling the largest of armored vehicles and transports. It is not a fighter however instead it serves the purpose of logistics. It rolls behind the main army upon dual heavy treads gathering scrap and other materials to work with. Internal factories make use of advances in automation and manufacturing to assemble all manner of parts, weapons, and even whole small vehicles within its cavernous bays. Tended to by tech priests and servitors at all times to ensure production never falters in quality or expediency. This beast is not defenseless however mounting heavy armor along with an armored plow and its sheer mass allowing it to crush obstacles and foes alike. A system of defensive lasers and slug throwers protect it from all angles alongside a system of servo skulls to monitoring and resource collection.
The Hygeia Medical Vehicle.
The Hygeia is a mobile hospital the size of roughly the same size as the Hephaestus designed to travel behind the main army upon its hover systems. Allowing it to bypass terrain issues and quickly retreat to protect its patients. Teams of trained medics are active at all times with the finest medical care the federation can provide on the battlefield. To better shelter its patients the vehicle is equipped with medium grade armor and a void shield. A system of laser weapons protects it from attackers at range buying time for retreat or support to arrive.
Here's my upgraded version of the Anansi. Mind adding it to your plan?
[X] Anansi Secundus (AKA Anansis) Light Walker
-[X] The successor to the venerable Anasi Light Walker, the Anansi Secundus pays homage to the original yet is a whole different beast altogether, owing to the vastly improved technologies and techniques available to the Federation. Slightly larger and more robust than the original Anansi, Anansi Secundus (also shortened into Anansis by the troops) is a one person light walker meant for combat in urban and rough terrain. While the limited technology when the Anansi was created meant that it required a two person crew, Anansis is instead equipped with a Automata system to assist the pilot in various tasks and make it possible for the walker to be utilized effectively by a single pilot. In essence, the Anansis can do everything the original Anansi can do, but better with a couple of additional features. Stronger, faster, more heavily armored. Keeping to the original design, the Anansis is equipped with an all energy weapon loadout centered around a plasma cannon atop its body and a pair of heavy multilas for anti-infantry and light target duties. The Anansis retains the urban 3D maneuvering capability of the Anansi via improved grappling hooks and climbing capacity. To top it off, the Anansis is also capable of being equipped with high-frequency blades to allow the vehicle melee capability against enemy vehicles and heavy combatants.
-[X] Superheavy tank: Dominus
--[X] The Dominus is a battlefield-dominating behemoth built to fight against baneblades and win. Often referred to as a "warship on treads," it's built around a plasma annihilator cannon as its primary weapon, with multiple missile pods and Gatling Blasters as backup weapons. It tends not to worry about terrain, as its size and bulk is capable of grinding most any kind of terrain underneath it's five sets of treads. The armor is closer to starship armor, and it is protected by a full-on void shield and an onboard shrine to the star child.
We don't need a fusion of a Stormblade and a Fellblade. Like, I get it, Command and Conquer Super Tank, we all love it, but really though: Why do we need anti-Superheavies units... when we have a metric-shit-ton of Knights and Armigers? Not to mention the Navy and our holy Walkers?
A Battle-Carrier-Landship is something that can support the wider army with artillery and airstrikes.

Fair enough. Added another one:
-[X] Superheavy tank: Kraken
--[X] The Kraken is a heavy treaded vehicle, slightly smaller than the Dominus, and built around magnetic "catch" and "catapult" systems designed to allow it to grab friendly aircraft, bring them into internal hangers for refueling, rearming and light repairwork, then launch them back into the air to continue their fire support missions. It also contains banks of antiaircraft and indirect fire support weapons, including artillery and mortars. It is not designed to be on the front lines, though it is heavily armored and does have weapons to defend itself in case of breakthroughs.

[X] Plan: A Focus on Modularity
-[X] Light Tank: Emberfang
--[X] The Emberfang is a fast-attack light tank designed to exploit weaknesses in enemy formations and make lightning advances into weak points to cut enemy supply lines and strike unprotected areas. It is built with speed and maneuverability in mind, featuring a compact, reinforced ceramite hull and easily-repaired tracks fitted with recoil-dampened suspensions for rough terrain. It is armed with a turret-mounted fast-firing autocannon capable of punching through light armor and infantry formations. Secondary weaponry includes twin-linked pintle-mounted heavy stubbers and smoke launchers to retreat from forces too tough for it. It's also armed with advanced auspex arrays for improved reconnaissance and light informational warfare capabilities.
-[X] Anansi Secundus (AKA Anansis) Light Walker
--[X] The successor to the venerable Anasi Light Walker, the Anansi Secundus pays homage to the original yet is a whole different beast altogether, owing to the vastly improved technologies and techniques available to the Federation. Slightly larger and more robust than the original Anansi, Anansi Secundus (also shortened into Anansis by the troops) is a one person light walker meant for combat in urban and rough terrain.

To top it off, the Anansis is also capable of being equipped with high-frequency blades to allow the vehicle melee capability against enemy vehicles and heavy combatants.
-[X] Medium Tank: Ironspite
--[X] The Ironspite is a versatile and tough workhorse of the war machine, designed to handle both enemy armor and entrenched infantry. Durable, easily-repaired and modular, it features two layers of toughened armor designed for field repair and a decently powered ion shield designed to resist large amounts of damage from one direction. The primary armament is a battle cannon capable of firing a variety of shells, including high-explosive, armor-piercing, incendiary and flechette variants. Secondary weaponry includes sponson-mounted lascannons and a hull-mounted twin-linked heavy bolter for smaller armored targets. The weapons are specifically designed to be modular, with each weapon having several variants including plasma, flamer, missile and more options. The base version comes with standard tank treads, but can be swapped for wheels or hover variants as needed. Finally, the hull has many attachment points for additional armor, weapons, shield generators or holy artifacts.
-[X] Heavy Tank: Aegis Strider
--[X] The Aegis strider is a quadrupedal war machine built to spearhead offensive operations, especially in challenging environments. It is designed to assault from unexpected directions, using it's well-articulated legs and feet with multiple settings to gallop across difficult terrain, wade across rivers and even climb up sheer cliffs or over (reinforced) buildings. It is armed with three modular weapons pods that rotate along with the central body, and the default configuration is one multi-barrel rotary cannon, one heavy plasma cannon, and one magma cannon, though it is also armed with several smaller weapons for anti-personnel work, including a short-range downwards-facing flamer to prevent any hostiles from taking shelter underneath the main body. Each leg carries a separate void shield generator, and when one fails the strider can simply rotate to bring a new one into line.
-[X] Superheavy tank: Dominus
--[X] The Dominus is a battlefield-dominating behemoth built to fight against baneblades and win. Often referred to as a "warship on treads," it's built around a plasma annihilator cannon as its primary weapon, with multiple missile pods and Gatling Blasters as backup weapons. It tends not to worry about terrain, as its size and bulk is capable of grinding most any kind of terrain underneath it's five sets of treads. The armor is closer to starship armor, and it is protected by a full-on void shield and an onboard shrine to the star child.
-[X] Superheavy tank: Kraken
--[X] The Kraken is a heavy treaded vehicle, slightly smaller than the Dominus, and built around magnetic "catch" and "catapult" systems designed to allow it to grab friendly aircraft, bring them into internal hangers for refueling, rearming and light repairwork, then launch them back into the air to continue their fire support missions. It also contains banks of antiaircraft and indirect fire support weapons, including artillery and mortars. It is not designed to be on the front lines, though it is heavily armored and does have weapons to defend itself in case of breakthroughs.
-[X] Light Troop Transport: Sparrowhawk
--[X] Specifically designed to accompany the Emberfang but be even more mobile and stealthy, the sparrowhawk is equipped with anti-grav capabilities that let it fly for short amounts of time and a camo-field that let it carry troops to flanking positions unnoticed. It is armed with a multilas designed for light support and covering fire, and can also be configured to carry supplies to difficult-to-reach places, with a popular add-on that gives it the ability to carry and control a flock of drones to support disembarked infantry.
-[X] Medium Troop Transport: Reclaimer
--[X] The Reclaimer is a is a rugged, versatile transport built to withstand enemy fire while delivering troops to the thick of combat. It is carried on two pairs of tracks and only needs half of that number to remain functional, and is coated with reinforced armor plating and ablative panels, as well as a light void shield. It also contains an emergency medical bay for field triage and stabilization, while being armed with a turret-mounted autocannon, two sponson-mounted multi-lasers and a number of drones.
-[X] Heavy Troop Transport: Bastion
--[X] The Bastion is a mobile fortress designed to carry hundreds of troops into battle in harsh conditions. It has multiple layers of armor, heavy void shields and provides logistical and emplacement support to large groups of infantry. In addition to the armament of two quad-linked heavy bolters, a roof-mounted flak cannon and an array of short-ranged mortars for close fire support it has a large cargo bay designed to transport deployable cover barriers, prefabricated bunkers and crew-served heavy weapons.
-[X] Light Infantry Fighting Vehicle: Warden
--[X] The Warden is an upgraded version of the venerable Ranger fighting vehicle, and is a proper hover vehicle capable of rapidly moving over any terrain for scouting and combat purposes. It carries two multi-lasers, one lascannon and a set of hunter-killer missiles, as well as firing ports for onboard infantry to contribute to the weight of firepower. It is notably faster, tougher and simpler to maintain than the Ranger.
-[X] Medium infantry Fighting Vehicle: Vanguard
--[X] The Vanguard is a six-wheeled IFV optimized for shock-and-awe tactics, with extremely high speed and large firepower output. It is extraordinarily fast over smooth terrain, and can change the suspension height to maneuver over moderately difficult terrain. It is fairly well-armored, and also carries a light ion shield. It is armed with a turret-mounted plasma cannon, two sponson-mounted heavy bolters, a drone deployment system, with a pair of tube-mounted missiles to enhance an opening salvo.
[X] Scout Vehicle: Sharpuktu Mk.2 Reconnaissance Hover Vehicle
-[X] With new advances in military technology, it's been deemed appropriate to revamp the Sharpuktu. While making the engine block and turbines more powerful and more compact on top of some slight size increases, this has not only doubled the troop carry space from 6 to 12, but made the Sharpuktu able to reach higher top speeds and greater control in turning and de-accelerating to give it some of the best handling in the Federation's motor pool. The armor has also received a substantial upgrade, now able to take more damage and even able to ram through a squad of Ogryn with only minor hull damage. But one of the flashiest new additions is a small directional Ion Shield generator able to project a shield in a specific direction to protect the vehicle. Other than some slight efficiency boosts, the Battle Cannon remains the same, though the under-mounted Missile Launcher has received upgrades in more ammo capacity and better lock-on targeting.
[X] Medium Infantry Fighting Vehicle: Nemean
-[X] With over a millennium of improvements on the technologies used by the Federation in constructing machines. An alternative to the Ranger was desired, made to handle intense battles with more rugged armor and survivability. The Nemean keeps the Ranger's trademark hover technology for its use in traversing terrain, but is a far larger and bulkier machine. It's larger size able to carry at most two squads of infantry or less depending on the size of some species, offering them decent protection due to the thick layer of armor on the sides and newly implemented Sheild Generator covering the front of the Nemean. Of course it still relies on mostly the same weapons as the Ranger, with Multi-Lasers and Hunter-Killer missiles, with a third option granted by it's increased size for a Heavy Bolter gunner position on the back for supporting infantry pushes or protecting Tanks from enemy attack.

[] A Soul Smeared
An exploration fleet of New Dawn has stumbled upon an ocean world in a system between the major Warp Lanes. Normally, it would be flagged foe colonization, however when the fleet drew closer to confirm some strange readings, the entire planet seemingly tried to shoot at the fleet via incredibly primitive weaponry. The problem is that, as the Choir with the fleet confirmed, there is only one soul on the entire planet, not enough to coordinate the attempted attack, even with the use of machinery (which would have been noticed). And that one is smeared across the entire planet. Someone should investigate that.

[] [Military] Create Six Grand Armies (Write-in Names) for (Sub-Sectors) or 7 Knight Orders (Write-in Names)
Grand Armies are composed of 2 SAGs per Sub-Sector System, which are composed of 4 Units each. Though each SAG will have its own Battle Standard and Motto, only those existing will be recorded in detail. A Grand Army requires you to specify each SAG as either Light, Medium, or Heavy, with the further moniker of Infantry/Mechanized/Tanks/Augmetic Legions Formations attached. All other specializations will be taken care of within the Grand Army itself. A Knight Order contains 20 War-Packs, one War-Pack consisting of One Questoris per Four Armigers, of variable Patterns.

From what we can tell, thanks to our history, what information we, the Kil'drabi, Yeeni, and the archives of our planets tell us, the difference between a prosperous interstellar polity and one naught but ash is the strength of their navy. At the moment, we have the beginning of a proud Void Fleet, yet purely defending against our enemies is a great way to get ground down into dust over time; we need to be able to bring the fight to them.
(Information: Ship Classes requiring more DP than you possess take more than one Action to design.
Gain: Newly designed and built Ship Class/es.)

Hippity Hoppity has revealed to us a site where technology, rites, knowledge, or culture of the Ancients yet remain...if not how intact. It is far away from our borders, and thus the fleet sent there to uncover the truth must be guarded.

[] [Psykana] Conduct Six Melodies (0.4/1 - 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.

(Gain: A Symphony)
[] [Faith] An Invitation To Preach (For Material Gain)
The Coalition has, after not-so-intense-yet-swift internal deliberation, chosen to extend an offer to the Glimmering Federation; that of allowing our preachers to carry with them the word of the Star Child to their people...for the lending of more war materials. Absolutely a result of the current intensification of their war of survival against the Diaconate, as the same has begun sending actual fleets at the Coalition instead of scouting in force. Thankfully, the fleets we sent them, alongside the trainers and time since, has allowed the Coalition to stand against the Diaconate...for now.
(Gain: Sanctioned Star Child Cults within the Emergency Coalition of the Triumvirates)
[] [Faith] Monuments For The Fallen
Many have died in the Cult Wars. Too many to count, so many that the monuments dedicated to the nameless fallen, forgotten in the ruin of war, have overflown with the prayer seals and benedictions, trinkets and grieving amulets, without pause in the last decades. As far as we know, the only great threat that remains is the unknown enemy that will arrive through the lands of the Duchy, for the Zealots of the God-Emperor won't be able to break through our fortresses for generations yet. So now is the time to mourn, the time to remember, and the time to cherish those we have lost in body, but not in memory.
(Gain: Monuments for the many billions that died in the Cult Wars..)

[] [Other] Take Care Of [Future Or Current Problems]
(Write-In the problem being addressed.)
Oh boy. Maybe it's time to try to crush out the integration before they arrive in full force.
Let's see. We have 11 actions left on that. We can do 5 integration actions a turn if we do nothing else.
[] Plan: Integrate Before the Swarm Gets here
-[-] [General] Integrate The New Territories (7/17)
-[] 3x [General] Integrate The New Territories (8,9,10/17) (2 normal actions + 1 Mechadendrite Action
-[] ??FLEX?? (Cry for the Future action)
That flex can be anything - [Faith] An Invitation To Preach (For Material Gain), or another Integrate The New Territories (7/17) to get us to 11/17, which we can finish easily in the following two turns.
The reason I want to do this is because a lot of our bonuses are tied to combos, and that's especially true of military stuff. As long as one action is tied up in integration each turn we mostly can't do very many fancy things with bonus actions, and with the way Heartbeat of Industry works that's triply true for military actions.
The alternate is to hit the military panic button and redeploy fleets to stonewall the nids where they appear, while designing new anti-nid ships & building up to our fleet cap. That feels a bit metagamey, but we could do it:
[] Plan: BUGS! PANIC!
-[-] [General] Integrate The New Territories (7/17)
-[] [Military] Begin Military Operations
--[] Deploy against bugs, prevent them from getting a foothold.
-[] [Military] Design New Voidship Classes
--[] Anti-nid designs (high speed, high boarding defense, high point defense)
-[] [Military] Fleet Construction (Cry for the Future Action) or a second design action, or some small titans, or a second ancient site action.
-[] [Military] The Ancient's Shard of the Black Forest (Heartbeat of Industry action)
Should be the northeast, we warned the Free Duchy a while back though, so they had listening posts up, which means we're getting some early warning about the exact timing most likely.
