Into that Vast and Unrelenting Darkness (40K Xeno Civilization Quest)

Reader mode
As a lurker I'm having a question -
Why are part of the winning plan ignored? In this case the investment into An Unending Appetite and Warp Drive?

If it's been explained then I haven't seen it in the turn threadmarks.

Edit : and three Lunar Projects

[X] Plan: Preparing for the Unknown

I am gonna join Anti-Turtle Action.
 
@chellewalker - you're using too many points in some of your options, an example being 23 points in culture when only 13 are generated per turn.

As an aside on the Blood for Art option, do we know what significantly increases culture means? Is it 3/4/5/6 culture given there's warp spend involved?

Whoops, forgot to account for adding ShipShrines. Fixed now.

this is the exact same as @chellewalker plan except ship shrines are swapped our for blood for art so we can up our CUL by a lot. The description say it increase CUL significantly which has never been used before to describe how much points increase in a category. CUL is also is our lowest categories getting increase would allow us to do so much more in the category and get stuff done done next turn esp since there some many good options locked in CUL, for example every single possible ACD increase at the moment is in CUL

edit: heck if the increase is likely big enough to allow us to get frontier explore compartment done and do other stuff in cul next

Shame we can't get shields also, but these seem like solid plans.
 
I do want to mention that we should probably hold off off drydocking our ships this coming turn, since we can't complete shields and warp drives at the same time. Partly because warping unshielded isn't a great idea, but also because we'd need to immediately drydock them again the next turn if we want to apply the shields, and from an action economy standpoint that's really inefficient for us.

nah if we need to dry dock something for it to apply to the ships it will says so in the description for the option. The shield tek description does not say anything about that so we are good it will automaticlly apply to all the ships

ShipShieldTek: With the advent of Perpetunite technology, some in the Academy wanted to work on upscaling the technology such that it could be installed on both your space stations and on ships. This would fortify your space assets and forces against laser and radiation based weaponry, making you all that much harder to hurt. 8/20, upgrades ShieldTek to apply to space fortifications and ships.

Ah, good to know. Then my objection is withdrawn and I'll put my support into the vote.

[X] Plan: Blood for The Art Throne

I'll switch to this as we do need a lot more culture points, and the significantly entices me to pick this too if we havent seen it before. It wouldn't surprise me if we got a 2 turn pay back, along with the benefits of the tech itself.
 
[X] Plan: Please just get the Warp Drive

Even if we can't get upgraded shields this turn we should at least give our first extrasolar exploration ship some bite, just in case something happens.
