[X] Plan 3000 Black Helicopters of Dannan

I clarified a thing or two with Blackstar on Discord, and my sense is that we can afford one more turn before needing to start Partial Demobilization or Continued Work Programs. I won't complain if Black Skies wins though.
 
The question of partial demobilization isn't one of will this action save the economy. It's still actively collapsing if slowly and not in a military relevant manner for a while. The sooner you demobilize the sooner essential maintenance work can pick up/have a broader bearth for civilian things. This needs to be counter balanced with th acute military threat that is litterally on the planet, as demobilization means less plants are making guns to keep it away. But, there is a reason pre war the stress of just the mobilization you were undertaking was significant. Your redlining the economy and expecting that to do less damage then the comparative threat of the enemy. In an ideal world, you'd be at a sustainable like 90 mobcap because of damage already inflicted from everything for five years before increasing it. You are uh, not in that ideal world and are willing to bend the economy into a pretzel if it means more tanks.
 
[X] Plan Black Skies

Really wish Richie would find a nice medium between saying FUCK IT INVADE NOW YOLO and cleansing a 10th of the island in prepatory atomic fire, as it stands plan white Is just plan orange but we have better divisions and the mud won't fuck us up hopefully so it has my vote

Since I started writing/there has been relative agreement.
Blackstar threw 1 100-faced dice. Reason: Plan White -5 Total: 72
72 72
Blackstar threw 7 100-faced dice. Reason: Actions Total: 464
82 82 91 91 68 68 15 15 65 65 85 85 58 58
Blackstar threw 6 100-faced dice. Reason: Decrpyption Total: 305
55 55 59 59 34 34 82 82 58 58 17 17
Blackstar threw 3 100-faced dice. Reason: T/M/MP Total: 117
14 14 52 52 51 51
Blackstar threw 4 100-faced dice. Reason: Investigator Adventure Total: 114
6 6 60 60 32 32 16 16
 
Mathpost:
- Plan White: 72 - 5 = 67
- Denounce Officially: 82 + 10 = 92

- Expand Mainline Yards: 91 + 10 = 101 artificial crit
- Attritional Drones: 68 + 10 = 78
- Heavy Drone Systems: 15 + 10 + 15 [1] = 40
- Prepare Drone Production: 65 + 10 = 75
- VTOL Modification: 85 + 10 = 95
- Continued Work Programs: 58 + 10 = 68

- Training: 14
- Morale: 52
- Military Production: 51

Nah, the electronics industry takes something like a year to start actually producing new electronics. We need the drones ready in 4 months.

We do want Electronics Industry eventually, but it's not really an urgent priority right now.
 
The heavy drones don't look like the best but shouldn't be a active hazard to use at least, also the investigator our ship with the birds or is it something else?

If someone's got a spare omake to throw on Heavy Drones, might be a good idea. Meanwhile, the Investigator seems to have a messy time. Hope we didn't lose it.
 
Wait how come we simultaneously have much of the population being restless from being stuck as NEETs AND the civilian economy collapsing from the mobilization? Is it just that all the unemployed people don't have the skills needed to work the factories, while most of the people that do have skills got drafted?

Because all our resources are going to the war economy, problem is not finding people to work, its all the steel, machines and electronics being sent to build tanks instead of maintaining shit and expanding the economy.

Demobilizing is like, slowing down production of war equipment and shifting resources to the economy.

Assuming the stable ideal of 90 MC is a US-like 20%, we are only devoting a balmy 70% of the planetary GDP to the defense effort.

Which leaves a treasonous 30% of wasteful excess!

The US does not devote 20% of its GDP to the military-industrial complex and I doubt it ever has, outside of the WWII war mobilization.
