Mostly agreed on these thoughts, but I just don't want to split the vote. Getting more RP for us my primary goal.
Hm. Yeah, I guess.
It's an across-the-board improvement to brain implants, though mostly a narrative one.
My current plan has Collaborative Strategic R&D with Anexa, Superhuman enhancements and Machine Spirit Hallucinations. CCRnD and Superhuman enhancements will synergize to give our Cogitare and the Ascendancy's researchers in general quite large boost for per turn RP generation, with MS Hallucinations giving a small boost to per-action RP generation. And the fun thing about that? If we have more RP, we can spend it more easily to further increase our RP generation in the coming turns.
Huh, didn't realize that. Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, absolutely they do.
In Battlefleet Gothic strike craft are (almost?) never seen on ships smaller than light cruisers. Absolutely never for the Imperium, there might be a weird outlier somewhere. There are also few really committed carriers as opposed to craft with maybe half hangars half guns. (EDIT: The only weird outlier I've found is the Drukhari, whose Impaler Assault Module can be found on their escorts.)
The ruleset I have has a feature that significantly mitigates the 'bombers can't touch you if you've got really high turrets' issue: If you have fighters in the wave as well, each fighter up to the number of bombers adds a bonus attack (even if the fighter is shot down by the turrets). So against the (quite rare) 5 turrets, instead of each bomber doing d6-5 attacks for 1 attack 1/6th of the time, each fighter+bomber pair does 1 attack plus 1 attack 1/6th of the time.
I'm delaying Juvenat and Vellkar OMC so that we can actually research them and other things when we get swamped by other priorities and limited in how many research actions per turn we can generate. Which is pretty likely I think, at least based on to our GM straight out telling they were expecting the situation to heat up for us on this turn. A reminder, Juvenat Beginnings is likely just that. Beginnings. It only has a chance to make it more efficient, and no guarantees by how much. Which means that we should be prepared for a marathon, not a sprint.
Well you've convinced me at least
Glories of democracy and very schizophrenic voting habits.
Opportunity cost - repair bays can do the same job, and because they repair by BP, efficient psy shields would also speed those repairs up while making psy shielding better.
Fast enough for what? It's not like there's a cutoff.
First of all, welcome! Second, it was probably seen by many as "good enough" for now, myself included. There are other threats beyond Chaos, and many of them don't care much or at all about our psy shields. Necrons especially, but you can probably count the Orks too. But I agree that they would be very nice to have among other things.
Handing out en masse isn't going to happen. As bongo and the war bands that invaded Denva demonstrated, access to psychic shields results in more effective attacks against them being developed, And the shields themselves can be turned to the opposite purpose, spreading corruption rather than shielding from it.
The thing with bongo from my reading of it is that we nat 1d and fell into a trap specifically laid out for us that let him cut through our shields more easily. If we just hand out 'NO' shields there shouldn't be all that much to worm their way around. Most of our failures and set backs come from trying to improve and get creative with wringing more and more out of our shields since we put ourselves into an arms race with a demon we kept around and basically educated in depth on our shielding for that very purpose.
