Brave New Frontier

The Aliens have done something. Your satellites seem unable to pierce it.
I vote for dumping the entire asteroid belt into Mars at the highest fractions of c we can accelerate them at.

Fuck me, so there's mystical bullshit in this setting. It's incredibly annoying for now, and not having info on the alien's gods or how souls work is frustrating, but the potential for magitech is very good, so I suppose it kinda balances out.

Also

[X] Yes
Send our goddamn fleets, we have to fight these aliens as hard as we can.
 
Are we just gonna ignore that our AI just tortured somebody for absolutely no reason other than their own amusement?

Also, holy shit its lovecraftian space cultists.
Yes, yes we are.

But anyway, I think we should send our fleet. Both to make sure that the aliens don't invade Luna, Earth or reinforce Mars and to make a show of force to the EU, our ships our better after all. For normal planning however, I think we should dedicate 3/4 of our PF to military/research projects with the 1/4 remaining to further colonization efforts to spread out humanity and it's industry. Perhaps making a transport fleet? Should get us a hundred or 2 PF if its combined with investing in developing said colonies, Venus got us some PF and we didn't do anything, we could invest in that.
 
since all the shit in the galaxy are moving around (planets spinning around the sun, the whole system moving in one direction through space and so on), so I'm guessing there's a chance that these new ships aren't arriving from the same angle as the last batch of enemy ships because of that? Not going to ask you to make a orbital mechanics simulation for us, my question is more like, can we analyze all trajectories and perhaps use slingshot maneuvers to flank them at high speed in coordination with the EU fleet, or send missiles on a trajectory so they'll come from another angle etc etc?

These sorts of manoeuvres will fall under the Tactics Roll made during the initial engagement, It is assumed your commanders are attempting to the best of their ability to be innovative and effective.
 
Oh yeah, almost forgot to do this.

[X] Yes

I know my giant minefield idea got shut down but could we lay down mines on their paths? Won't have time to do it now obviously, it'll have to be in the plan but would that be possible?

Laying explosives in their path is possible. You are generally aware of where they will begin to start their deceleration. They will most likely see them though.
 
If they're traveling in a straight path, I'm sure we can send some not-thrusting mines and see if they can notice them with their space magic sensors or not. Try and mask them as ice asteroids or something.
 
fuckit, I'm sure there's some fucky wucky surprise in store for us. rather than just increasing ships until win, but I wanna see explosions everywhere!

Oh hell no. Well time to embrace the machine and be uplifted by DEUS into silicon lifeforms to wage a mutual holy war of annihilation.

Militarized Corpo-Omnisaiah Mystery Cult anybody?
