Yeah. If you look at all the Other's we got there is
Memory worm
Dreamlands
Marsh Lights
Singularities
Titans
Prism Forests
Now the main issue is the 3 bases we.are facing, which is
Minor bases - Small and weak. Should be easily taken care of
Yellowstone - Heavily fortified, explodes in 2-3 turns.
Ring of Fire - Several bases underwater, explodes in 4-5 turns.
Most of the bigger weapon tech we got, is going to take us arouns 5 turns in order to finish. Now, we might get war prototypes that will maybe finish in 2-3 turns, if we're lucky.
in which case, we should see at how they might help with the underwater bases.
Yellowstone, is going to explode too early, and honestly the Titans are the best other for how to deal with it, as for what the rest can do.
Memory worms-Memory tapes would finish in 5 turns. Might we be able to create a prototype exclusively designed to just shut down Builders? If we combinde that with Arona'a study the builder project, we might be able to get some results out of it.
Dreamlands - Dreamlands aren't directly hostile, so their utility must be less direct. They might be able to stabalize an area so it doesn't shake, so they might stabalize or make underwater have less pressure. They don't seem to be of much help in this case here from what i can see.
Marsh Lights - Marsh light canisters is a 6 turn research project with Arona on it and it's not an Anomalous tech so she would be the only one that would be efficent at researching it. I don't see Marsh Light being that directly usefull for, given the cost.
Singularities - Allready massively in use. We got the singularities field shield. With Academy would take 4 turns, with Aarona would take 3 turns. 2 turns if we get the 50% roll on the first roll. And that would be the mass-produced version, and that's armour capable of withstanding Builder lasers.
Huh. That's actually pretty feasible, assuming we get it. Of course, this means we'll also need to spend 10 influence to keep Arona so we can assign her freely.
Titans - Well. Uh, pretty obvious what they can do.
Prism Forests - Allready massivly.in use. We got the orbital canon idea, but that wouldn't be finished in time for the yellowstone assult, and the ring of fire bases are underwater, so unless we can do some really weird stuff with dreamlands and singularities, won't reach the bases.
And firing them into the ocean, is a terrible idea. We do not want to see what happens when red water, poisonous get turned into vapour and suddenly starts raining over the land. What if it happen to rain over North Pole or a city. That would just be another ecological disaster.
So. The best step forwards i see is.
1. Academy on worm tapes, in order to make anti-Builder worm tapes while astra team makes underwater spaceships. Crystal Order on beesech the Titan, and if that's not an option, on Study the Builder with Aarona. This would be the delayed comprises plan.
2. Academy and Arona on Singularity shields with astra team on underwater spaceships. The Crystal order...Beesech the titans, and might depend on our options from there. This plan would mean we'd spend 10 influence to keep her, and the war front would not get direct Academy help(and we'd have no ability to influence it). It might also come in too late for Yellowstone attack.
@OldShadow The singularity shield tech. How feasible would that be for soldiers to carry. Or would it be too large and mostly for spaceships.
