Fair enough, we can upgrade the Kiln defenses as well. But even if Spicy Sheev does know where we are, attacking an unknown system will not accomplish his political objectives, so I would still rate it as low risk.

That seems legit, I'd imagine those weaknesses would be explicitly cited by Cheriss as room for improvement.
I imagine the questions in that hypothetical situation would be:
"Why does that one also have a blindfold? Does Cheriss have a fetish or something?"
"Does this mean Priam has a robot girlfriend? Because that sounds really really weird."
"Why do Sair's androids look so...er...well...they seem to be pretty good-looking? Does that make me weird?" "Yes."
Awesome! That really improves their utility if they can stay out for longer. Suck it, TIE fighters!

i know that is why i asked for it at SOME point, not right now, it's just so damn cool~
Honestly, I can't see us using it if we do win. Not only will the quest most likely end, but the strategic needs of a galaxy run by Abyss Watchers will be drastically different. We won't be obsessed with the Tarkin doctrine for one thing, and neither are we particularly interested in planetary assaults, which is what Star Destroyers are designed for. An SSD is a little much for piracy suppression.

Whoops! I read the height/width as the length/width by accident. That still doesn't necessarily mean my assessment is wrong in terms of shields and firepower.

Keep it as a tourist attraction?
I agree that shields and firepower tend to scale exponentially to some degree with the size of the ship. I disagree with a 1km warship being 1000x less powerful than an 8km one, especially as, as far as I can tell, the line in the wiki was sourced from an offhand remark in a Clone Wars episode that didn't actually have a Mandator in it. It seems much more likely to be hyperbole.

yeah, i figured already that would be the case but a guy can dream can't he?
We could probably use the Foundry to prevent that, somehow."Use the Foundry" is going to be one of the go-to suggestions, isn't it?

With a good enough omake: 100%.
Thrawn and the Chiss would bomb the fuck out of it though.

They will. It's not guaranteed to work though. Mercer is much more dangerous than the Mgnal thing, imo.
And wouldn't it be awesome to have a virus as a Hero unit?
One more write-in for @Dr. Snark before the Turn begins:
Separately, I re-read the last turn, and copy-pasted any of the rewards or mechanics changes that came up:
We've already learned Soresu from Obi-Wan, and Anakin is off doing his own thing so Form V (Djem So/Shien) is off the table. Once we recruit Quinlan Vos, we can ask him to teach us Form VII - Vaapad (he learned from Sora Bulq, the dark Jedi who created it alongside Mace Windu).
Separately, I re-read the last turn, and copy-pasted any of the rewards or mechanics changes that came up:
That makes 2 extra actions for next turn.
I'm not sure if we'll be allowed to 'integrate technique' for the Essence Transfer skill, or if we'll have to study it further beforehand, but that seems like a high priority either way.
And, while we're flush with cash, a free Sienar contract is nothing to sneeze at. That should save us 100-200 credits next turn. OTOH, I don't think we should prioritize the most expensive Sienar contract -- 50 credits doesn't make that big of a difference, when our priority should be on how a given design helps us.
@Dr. Snark, does this discount apply to purchasing a base on Manda, or just the upgrades after that point? (I recall a previous action made the Manda base cheaper anyway).
...Okay, this is the last write-in for this turn (though this one was originally proposed back in Turn 26):
I'm pretty sure Dr. Snark decided to 'gate' this Personal Action behind the corresponding Lore action (building customized blasters for our Abyss Agents)
But despite the super-crit it wasn't listed as a reward, and in the hype of Kyber Blasters and 'Blaster Bits' we apparently forgot about it until now.
There was also an un-threadmarked omake by Teron that seems applicable:
So, @Dr. Snark: can we add this as a Personal Action for this turn?

Upgrades only.
Hmm...I'm not against the idea of having the two of them interact on that level but I honestly don't know if Ahsoka is really that skilled to the point where she could effectively teach others her Forms. I'm not saying she's bad at them - far from it given that she was able to hold her own against canon Grievous and Asajj on multiple occasions - but a key part of a Form is learning when to use it (especially if you know multiple forms like Ciaran does), and I can't really say that Ahsoka's got enough experience with them to properly teach that judgement.
Sure.
Can we train further with Obi-wan in Soresu?

Things Riphath learned in that warehouse fight with Big Sith Acolyte.
Reasons why Riphath learned Ataru Basics from Darra. "If you've got someone smaller, play big. If you're in an enclosed space, play big. If you've got open space and / or you're up against someone bigger? Play fast."
Come to think of it, I think I might have my next omake starting to come together.

@Dr. Snark
Not sure you caught this suggestion or not, so if you did, sorry about this. But I think it's a decent way of dealing with base bloat...

I'm gonna be honest...the only reason that would exist is to get more money and you really don't need more money. Plus it's just kinda dull, which ties back to my previous issues with some of the base suggestions.
