I agree that buying the hulls looks like a great deal, but this is my concern:
These ships are unarmed and we need to arm them ourselves. Now, we can make near-CLP-tier particle beams and Synod-tier point defenses, but it'll still cost money. If we're not going to arm them early this plan, then we may as well just buy the courier.

Yeah, but the budget we get right now is supposed to tide us over for the next five years. We can ask for more mid-plan, I suppose, but that's still 2-3 years away.
Actually while we do talk about not needing to do procurement there is one project that fill an actual gap in our forces: the militsrized moon buggy.
While whatever we make from it is outdated at best, it is still a short term mobility option for securing the moon and should be fairly cheap. It probably won't see immediate deployment or even manufacture until we really go back to the moon besides a toehold but once we do well probably want to start digging 100 moon megabunkers with gt nuke charges to make sure it's fate during the war can't repeat itself

OTOH, I think even without the weapons I think a lot of what we can learn from the cruiser hulls and the manuals they come with is more useful to us right now than what we can learn from the courier. We have the safe FTL tech already, we can build safe FTL drives usable by both us and our Lirrir friends, and it doesn't really matter if a bulk cargo ship is slow as much as if it is reliable. If we need to go faster we can slightly hot rod our drives (not to the point of our first gen's unreliability but still faster) while still keeping them relatively safe for us Seelie to use with our more durable brain meats.
Meanwhile we don't really have any personal experience with how people build warships and fight space combat between them, with how all our own got killed in their docks before we could learn by smashing to them them to pieces against the CLP frigates.

Notably, if we buy the cruiser hulls, that becomes a matter of public record, and people won't know when we have or have not armed them.
Now, literal pirates might not know or might take the risk (though our reputation as having chased off the CLP will spread through local space). But anyone who's done opposition research will know we MIGHT have warships with some real if limited force. Deterrence is good.

We're in bumfuck nowhere, am not really worried about pirates (we don't really have anything worth stealing anyway and the CLP is handling transportation as well, if they get their REs stolen then that's a problem for their security forces, and if not, their insurance).
EDIT: Also, we did kill a Frigate that was not near planetary orbit, so that's some deterrence right there.

Yeah, ultimately, three previous generation cruisers - possibly even unarmed - are not going to deter anyone who could actually present a danger. Random pirates have no reason to come near our orbit to blow up infrastructure and risk getting jumped by OFACs, while the states are both too powerful to be stopped by them and know to little of us to be that aggressive. I think we can safely wait 3-5 years before starting to rebuild our space navy.
We'd also need to shake lose the money to actually develop a particle beam and retrofit the ships with it. I do want to do it, but I dont think this budget cycle is the best time for it.
In general though buying and retrofitting combat ships is definitely extremely valid while we build up our shipbuilding and design capabilities.

Random pirates may want to steal stuff from elf mining stations deeper in system - except elves don't have them anymore of course. And when they would start rebuilding them, they could look into the available ships again.
Yeah, that's how Turks IRL started their own shipbuilding industry (in last few decades) - and now they are quite successful at it.

We actually do have the colony in Cethyria and one surviving mining station (out of the three pre-war iirc), but again. Its not exactly a juicy target. The RE's coming from our planet are.
I think your total groundside costs are 1900B after the deals. You added 800B worth of stuff not 700 and you spent 1100B in your 1st plan.
Expanding Trade Infrastructure 150B
Curach Garrison Program 100B
Department 4 Consolidation 150B
Department 6 Expansion 100B
Pre-Construction of Orbital Components 200B
Expansion of Inventory Management Systems 100B
You dont need to cut anything though cause I think you also added the totals wrong for that plan. 6200 army + 350 Forex +1500 Space + 1800 Groundside = 9850B. If the groundside costs are 1900 then you get the 50B you'd expect left over.
That's probably correct. I know the whole plan adds up to 50B left for both Cheap and the other.

Also I would think that if a pirate got interested in us it would be to do some trading of the loot they got for the various things and see if they can get any elfs interested in being hired as shock troopers, because our guys fight hard and come back from a lot of injuries that would make other species worthless without replacements of the metal or bio kind?

Has space piracy even been established to be a thing? AAEL seems to be going by the hard-scifi tenet of there being no stealth in space so that really limits the possibilities.
regardless we should only buy the courier, just so we can scout for planets to drop our NEETS on.

It's worth remembering that there are multiple business models for pirates and "sneak up on ships as they sail around" is usually not the only or even the most profitable one, at least in certain environments. "Raid a poorly defended coastal town" is a favorite in eras where that's possible, for instance.
And we've already seen that the fundamental prerequisites for some degree of piracy are in place. There is an active trade in weapons including weapons affordable to a corporate investor. There are legally gray "shadowport" sites that are willing to accept shady or unconventional customers. There are places where it is advisable for merchants to travel armed or for lightly armed escort ships to operate routinely, creating a legal gray area in which it's hard to prosecute someone for "being a pirate" unless they get caught and called out.
That combination makes piracy... plausible, especially when bearing in mind that the distinction between a group like the Synod and a bunch of pirates is mostly a matter of flavor and tone.
Danaan itself is inherently a hard enough target that no opportunistic raider whose intention was pure plunder would come after us there, but mining stations and outposts are not, at last for now.

Objectively getting the courier ship is the better option, in addition to tech benefits we also get an ftl capable ship which opens up a lot of options while the plan ticks over.
Otoh if the HEA mills work out I figure we can be close enough to what the sovereignty can make that we can start exporting bulk heas for a much better profit ratio than our currently available exports and i do love gambling so
