Thank you!
I definitely think you've succeeded there. Everything really does just give off the vibes that a warlord is throwing everything he has at the solar system because he wants it, and he wants it now. And that without a doubt he'll be repeating the process when he's captured the ruined wealth of the old empire, to hurl it out at the rest of Humanity's old core.
Because we've now had several occasions where what we lacked most sorely was armoured support, and the desert offers the training to make us as good at making use of the armoured support we'll now have as possible.
Which plenty of other plans do without sacrificing long term or even short term narrative benefits in training. So that seems a pretty weak excuse for hyper focusing on desert worlds when we're going to need to go to a variety of environments. Canad has the added benefits of helping our troops train in low to no natural light levels which, if say we're in another space station, could be something we have to deal with and I'd rather we have the training.
It's not even about minmaxing, it's about what kind of worlds we're going to be going for, on a narrative sense alone, as it makes little sense to train for planets you don't intend to fight on that often. And I dont see the appeal of constant desert fighting, not to mention I like the narrative angle of our army being slowly prepared for the crazy stuff we'll face out in the galaxy.
I agree that reconstruction or light touch operations doesn't really jive with us using Destroyer weaponry, but we got enough
Oooh, good to know! And, uh, time to check the other options. But the emotion vote that I prefer seems a bit over the place last I checked the tally.
