Alien Invasion Quest

[X] Greys. Currently feeble, but very modifiable.

Any reason why we can't simply tug several kilometer - diameter asteroids or build a thousand nukes and bomb Earth to cripple the infrastructure, cause nuclear winter and weaken it enough that all space capability would be lost?

Because that would make for a boring quest.

The Greys
[X] Greys. Currently feeble, but very modifiable.

You have the Greys as your servants. Weak, thin aliens with their namesake grey skin and bulging black eyes, they are much. You could easily crush a hundred of them and an adult native is more than a match for them.

But the Greys are adaptable. Not on their own of course, but you can mould them to fit your purposes with ease. They might not be much now, but there is a lot potential for them to grow. Their bodies and genetics are modifiable and you can easily adapt the Greys to fit new purposes.

Increased strength and toughness for better warriors, modified appearance to infiltrate the native societies, stealth and speed for scouts and spies. The possibilities are all, but endless.

Your forces may be weak right now, but you can grow them into something strong.

Speaking of your forces, you need to get planning your invasion. Your current available assets aren't up for invading the planet and while the Origin Matrix is fully stocked, that means that you don't have any free space aboard your mothership.

In order to gain more ships and troops, you will need to set up a base on one of astronomical bodies within the system. While you will need to set one up on Sol III at some point, it would be a poor choice to do if you are looking to set up production facilities. It would be hard to keep it hidden at this stage and it would be at risk of being attacked by the locals.

No, you are better off setting one up elsewhere in the solar system, one where the natives of Sol III won't be able to reach it any time soon. Perhaps you build a base on Sol IV or one of the larger moons of the local gas giants. You could even set up a base on the moon of Sol III, but given that the natives have shown the ability to send their own people to it, that may be too risky.

Once you have a base set up, you could expand, giving yourself room to set up new hangars and shipyards, barracks to house more troops, laboratories to research new things to aid in the invasion, more space to produce resources and store them.

You could also send a scout to investigate Sol III. Your information on the planet and its local populace is limited. You can afford to risk a single Alpha-class scout and frankly, there isn't anything on Sol III that can threaten your scout if it avoids a fight. You would run the risk of being detected by the natives, but what are they going to do about it?

Military action right now if off the table while you lack the room to produce more forces right now. Yet you do have several laboratories onboard your mothership and while they are limited in what they can do at once, you could begin researching technologies to aid in your invasion.

You have three actions available. Use Plan Voting.

Update is short as there isn't too much going on right now as you haven't started doing anything yet. You got your status report and your list of available actions. I will keep them unspoilered for now, but as they grow larger, I will probably end up spoilering them.

At this stage, you are choosing your initial actions such as where you want to set your base(s) and what you want to start researching.
 
[X] Plan : Europa and Io
-[X] Europa Base
-[x] Ship Stealth Systems
-[X] Io Base

1 Continent down, 6 to go.

We can only do 1 research action, and I don't want to risk discovery now. Hence, 2 bases deep in Jupiter orbit, and stealth research.

Set up a base in the classic location, prep to mod up the greys and prep for hidden scouting, a simple plan.

You only have 5 Labs and your plan requires 10 Labs. It isn't a valid plan.
 
[X] Plan : Europa and Io

Probably a Good Idea to set up bases everywhere we can in this here solar system, so as we can have our forces at maximum capacity.
Though, thinking about it, we should probably leave Mars and Luna alone for now, until we've developed maxed out stealth tech and maxed out armour.
Plus, that many bases would allow us to make leaps and bounds in research.
