Mass Effect: The Traverse

Reader mode
Also guys remember this from the start of turn 8

Due to unfortunate circumstances you've had to make a deal with SAI to get the railroad off the ground. You are now expected to expand your space capacity at least once per turn until you get the ability to produce dreadnaught sized vessels

so your going to have to adjust your plans.
 
[X] Plan Space Debt
-[X]Keep and repair them -2500 credits
--[X] Upgrade to full military standards -5000 credits
-[X] Investment: Nal'vatanis is currently one of your biggest employers, but also one of your colonies most lucrative contacts in general. Helping them helps you, so fund them and with luck reap the rewards. -1000 credits
-[X] Eezo 3. Final Clean up: With the cavern finishing construction the final clean up and reinforcement of the cavern needs to go on. The amount of devastation it managed in an unrefined state was immense, you don't want a repeat of that. -2000 credits Will reduce maintenance costs back down to a lower level.
-[X] Building Medium: Now you can service pretty much any ship barring the largest monsters, but now you need to go bigger. You need to be able to actually build components for the medium range vessels. Well, easier said than done considering the number of components that still need to be manufactured elsewhere, but it's doable. -3500 credits.
-[X] Establish Police: Well you certainly made the right call with this one, but you are going to need to get it even beefier if you want to keep unwanted eyes away. -1200 credits.
-[X] Antanov Ring Establishment: Setting up facilities in the ring would be very beneficial, for water, minerals and setting up infrastructure for future development like ship yards. -800 credits.

Edit: I changed a lot

Note that I swapped storage crate licence to shipyard expansion. The hope is 3000 credit increase will be offset by ship repair & maintenance business. Also due to mandate.
Edit:. Also trimmed equipment licence action because I misread the picks we have.

Sooooooo what does people think? Spend 2500 and dip a tiny bit into treasury this turn? 3 ships now & later upgrades are cheaper than 2 new ships later.

    As Nireen Nal'vatanis quickly strode down the corridor to Raynor's office her hands shook even with the pad in them. This ... this was the discovery of a millennium maybe more. She knew she was in shock the size and purity of the find was a once in Asari lifetime find.

    He's watching the door when she walks in. "Nireen what is so important that you couldn't comm me with this news?" "Raynor we just found a new massive cavern with Eezo in it. Filled completely with Eezo. Multiple samples from all across the deposit confirm it. This deposit will barely need any refining it's 99% pure." "What!" "That's the best news of it, the two problems are with that much purity it's going to require a lot of careful mining and a great amount of extremely precise equipment. The other problem is that the deposit is monstrous in size. Conservative estimates put it at the size of half a mass relay mid-line estimates are that it's the size of a relay. And generous ones even larger. There's a couple of extreme one's that put it at the size of the Citadel or Omega. Though we probably can disregard those ones. It's a once in a lifetime find for an Asari."


    "This is huge we're going to have to call the Prime Minister." "The council is going to need to know as well. It's too big to hide we are going to need a fleet to hold this system. It could start a war with the Batarians or the Terminus Systems."

    That ancient ruin and mineral richness are already overstuffing our administrative capacity.

    Good things we can get Volus and police expansion to reduce low level crime or spy attempts.

    Edit: Plan Acquire currency now includes full upgrade to the 3 cruisers.

    this is the textbook definition of an embarrassment of goods. At least it simplifies the turn plan. Everything we can spare into making us a harder target.

    Lets just say there will be a Full Alliance fleet and Full Council fleet permanently stationed in system. And several people will be cursing about the systems location.
     
    That feeling when you are pulled into great power politics because you are desirable. Also because you smol.
     
    [X] Plan Well This Changes Things
    -[X]Keep and repair them -2500 credits
    --[X] Upgrade to full military standards -5000 credits
    -[X] Eezo 3. Final Clean up: With the cavern finishing construction the final clean up and reinforcement of the cavern needs to go on. The amount of devastation it managed in an unrefined state was immense, you don't want a repeat of that. . -2000 credits Will reduce maintenance costs back down to a lower level.
    -[X] Create Infrastructure: The lifeblood of any nation. While you are confident that barring a massive battle what you have won't decay, you need to invest to improve what is there (potential decrease due to sudden expansion). -1500 credits.
    -[X] Establish Police: Well you certainly made the right call with this one, but you are going to need to get it even beefier if you want to keep unwanted eyes away. -1200 credits.
    -[X] System Defences: You have them now, but if anything, the recent attack proves you can never have enough of them. -1200 credits
    -[X] Building Medium: Now you can service pretty much any ship barring the largest monsters, but now you need to go bigger. You need to be able to actually build components for the medium range vessels. Well, easier said than done considering the number of components that still need to be manufactured elsewhere, but it's doable. -3500 credits.

    Get the ships up to date to buff the fleet and get some more defense stations. Increase shipyard capacity/capability to support a larger fleet (helium extraction should also be put higher up on the list). Make sure that our voice is well represented in both political bodies that matter. Yes it sucks to eat up two actions that way but this is big and we want as much influence over the decision making process as we can. We are getting a miniturn type deal to handle that. Finally police over military, we need to sweep out internal threats and keep them out and so far our police force has been pulling double duty as counterintelligence. We are going to be getting a lot of people moving in and will be needing to be spending a lot, so infrastructure and decreasing maintenance will be very useful.

    EDIT: This uses most of our savings but our maintenance will be decreasing and with the shipyard upgrade we can start getting orders for ships providing a significant boost to how much that brings in. In addition, while it isn't necessary this turn, going into debt to finance the next couple of turns might be a good idea.
