-[] [Psykana] Conduct Three Melodies (Choose three below.) (0.4/1 - Auto Complete) - Ruthlessness, Brutality, Mercy

I would follow this with a single design action next turn(Leo upgrade so it can dodge null nets, Rad cruiser, frigate escort(to be build by the SBG actions(and possibly later automaticly as that research is only needs 2 progress), psytech scout, destroyer escort.
That leaves 2 actions for psytech next turn and another two actions in the turn after that(as one goes to building/refitting our fleet)

I deleted the note where I had written down when X class gets unlocked, so I went off of memory there. So...Void 13 for Grand Cruiser.
To get grand cruisers:
1 action to get to 10
2 station building gets us to 11
2 actions gets us to 12 where we get more ships per action
2 actions unlocks grand cruisers.

7 actions in total.

I'm on board with that. Two research actions & a psytech to clear off the mandatory research? Or just 3 psytech to get that combined with research

I also note that with a single action now we could have every single Star Child Melody, which might have a nifty effect. Which is why I was thinking 1/1/1, since that also procs a 2-1 research next turn if we want it.

Sounds good to me. How are people feeling about swapping to messenger ISC to finally, FINALLY get Civ XV?

New Dawn's gotten us so much. This will upgrade them and give us more ISCs, as well as let us have two active at a time.
 
Damn what is wrong with the Thules? Like are they designed to be horny for every new race/sub race etc that joins the federation? Or are they just genetically programmed to be down bad?
More that their upbringing and education predisposes them to a work-hard-party-hard lifestyle, not helped by strike craft piloting rewarding risk and focus if coupled with skill and training. So you have a lot of Thules who spend the majority of their days training to get into deadly fights and emerge alive seeking ways to release pressure. Couple that with a sex-positive culture, low stigma for non-standard couplings created by Thule-internal Culture's propensity for polygamy, and the allure of the exotic, and well.

It only takes one Thule out of a hundred to get frisky with a Yeeni to have the other 99 be deemed deviants extraordinaire.
Mostly because they'd try to get frisky too.:V
….

….

…Do I really wanna know what happened here?
Male Piscarian Teenager hears rumor about the human women willing and eager to bang Piscarians.
His two braincells trigger the Horni.
Tries.
Thules laugh at the teenager akwardly and boastfully trying to seduce them.
Teenager returns to home with wounded pride and ashamed.
Peers ask what happened.
Teenager lies out of his ass and boasts to end all boasts.
More MPTs try.
Thules get fed up and have the addendums added to the public rules.

Edit: With that: Night!

Could be another faith turn.
In which case we should get the researches we want for ship building before we trigger it (engines, phalanx doctrine)

Oh were the FPTs more circumspect about their failed seduction?
 
Based on the quest so far the ships designed in the next turn will be in use for a long time and i think upgrading our large fleet of Leo's with plasma rotary cannons should be a part of that upgrade.
 
I'm going to be a bit of pain here and remind people of what happens to faith actions we leave alone for longer than we should. We currently aren't in a war (aside from ork cleanup) so we should get it done and out of the way.

@HeroCooky, The -[] Repair Centaur, Minotaur, Sphinx, Werewolf, Basilisk, And Lamenters (0/0.5) action was missed in editing - was done and needs to be removed.

... Do we need or want the ability to create star-spawn? It's not like we'll routinely have a lot of people who have given themselves to chaos hard enough they need to be ritually sacrificed to redeem them.

If we are gambling for a faith turn from all-SC-melodies-1, wouldn't it be better to leave psyker staffs for the faith turn (blessed psy Equipment!) and do the phalanx directive instead?
Then if we do get a faith turn and want to design a ship we can put one of the best survivability techs in it.
 
Also this is literally a brand new option? It's not as if we didn't literally take a Faith action last turn.

Oh you misunderstand. I am not gambling for the faith turn. I am just doing psytech to a) get that thing to go and be research eventually and b) to do it because I want to do more psytech.

This feels... like, foolish?

We want to do some research to get our ships up to shape in the next few turns, and now we're adding extra actions to get that free full action?

Is this the best plan? I don't know. However I like development.

[Rules for Thules When On Shoreleave To Fortress]
1. All courtship rituals must include the steps of the Harkness Test and pass all of them.
-Addendum: This means the Piscarian/s in question must state that they are capable of having consensual relationships with you.
-Addendum 2: They must also consent to it. Verbally.
-Addendum 3: If it is forced by any means whatsoever, it is not consent.
-Addendum 4: The next Thule to bring philosophy and the question of free will into this will be put on latrine duty for a year.
-Addendum 5: No. You know the question this is the answer to. If you don't, count your blessings or ask Thule 9179//s-OwO.
Oh boy, yah that one needed to be stated and updated, the Thules will be very creative in order to make sure they can have fun or get to it quickly. Also I want to hear the stories that made 3 and 4 necessary.

2. Use Protection.
-Addendum: Armor is not protection.
-Addendum 2: Armor is protection in firefights, but not for sexual couplings.
-Addendum 3: Armor is protection in firefights and sexual couplings with physically strong enough partners, but not to prevent the spread of diseases.
-Addendum 4: Armor is protection in firefights and sexual couplings with physically strong enough partners, and it can prevent the spread of diseases if hermetically sealed, but not in a sexual context.
-Addendum 5: USE A KARKING CONDOM!
oh krakening damn it. Really? how hit it is to use a condom during it and they really did use the 'Armor is protection'. I love and hate these girls for the antics they get up too. This has been a great laugh so far.

3. All parties must be up on their medical inoculations before any intimate activities.
-Addendum: This means all vaccines the ship medicae deem necessary for shore leave. All of them.
-Addendum 2: You do not need five months of medical history before asking someone on a date.
-Addendum 3: This does not exempt you from checking for STDs.
-Addendum 4: You may not bribe Fortress medicae to download the entire known medical history of all Piscarians to the ship cogitators and declare yourself Rule 3 compliant.
-Addendum 5: You may not claim to be in compliance with Rule 3 by claiming your inoculations "ran out afterward, oopsie!"
Oh my, of course they tried to pull this. Damn it girls its for a damn good reason and some over doing it or under doing it. Holy hell, they dumped the medical history of all Piscarians to the ship to say they looked at the records to know which ones are safe to bang? that's a story that made the rule right there.

4. Proper courtship must be conducted prior to intimate activities to ensure personality compatibility between partners. Calling your partner "Daddy" or any related attempt at seduction thereof is not sufficient or acceptable to be proper courtship.
-Addendum: You can still call them that after a successful courtship.
-Addendum 2: Rule 4 is now situational. When in situations where sexual couplings are sought by all involved, it may be ignored.
-Addendum 3: Addendum 2 is now struck from the record. Any mention of the word "Daddy" will lead to latrine duty for a year.
-Addendum 4: This applies to all known variations in all known and unknown languages capable of being produced by humanity via biological or technological means.
-Addendum 5: Please don't make me ban the word "Mommy," ladies. You are better than that.
-Addendum 6: "Mommy" has been banned in all contexts. Especially if you are addressing the Captain!
Oh at least once they get into the relationship they can do that, makes sense. and wow a Thule managed to put in an Addendum into the offical thing. and now no one says that ever again. OF COURSE THEY TRY THE OTHER LANGUAGES. oh boy how many headaches this must have given the higher ups and the Thules 'leaders/commanders.

Oh no, they actually called the Captain Mommy? holy shit they managed to make them ban the word mommy.

5. All Piscarians in areas where Thules are authorized to enter will be issued 1 whistle configured to their mouth structures, and 1 Personal Alarm linked to the local Ogryn Security Station.
-Addendum: Yes, it is strange, but better to have it than not.
-Addendum 2: Piscarians below the age of maturity are now to be accompanied by one adult. Nice try, though. Gave 'em a good laugh, boy.
-Addendum 3: Piscarians below the age of maturity are now to be accompanied by two adults from their family unit. Why. You are visually distinct before coming of age. They know. STOP TRYING!
-Addendum 4: Piscarians below the age of maturity are now banned from areas where Thules are authorized.
-Addendum 5: All Piscarians are now banned from existence.
pfffft, no. No way. Did the Thules be cougars here? or some teased some when one tried to take them up on it? still, of course the attempt backfires and makes it worst. Piscarians below the age of maturity not allowed in Thule Authorized areas, what did they do?

Yeogawa - (Target Biosphere: Flowering Abdundance) - (Maximum Population: 46 Billion) - (Terraformation Time: ~220 Years)
I Really want to know what that Biosphere would be like and if it has anything effects. Like could we boost Food Production development by focusing food production on that world?

-[] Reconstruct The Shattered STC-Fragment (3/8)
(Gain: An STC Fragment.)
Oh sweet New Dawn came through again, they really are focusing on this. though it makes sense as it should give a big goodie.

Brans - Branus
Suspected Subversion Time: ~20 Years
Modifiers: N/A
Oh right.... hey guys, should we do something about this? its two turns away and it is in the Black Ash Clan territory this is focused on.

[] [Faith] The Penitentia Rite
Implicitly allowed by a Conclave of the Droman Creed, it is time for the priests and Hymnals of the Federation to learn about and put into practice the safe creation of Penitentias, those whose soul and body have been entirely given to the judgment of the Star Child for crimes unforgivable by mortals, yet judgeable by their willingness to repent and be potentially erased by the disgust of the Unborn Divine.
(Gain: Penitentia Rite.)
Oh wow.... I really don't want to touch that but its there now and an option. oh boy. the ones being used to make them seem fine but Holy Fuck this feels like its PR nightmare and easy to use against us.

[] [Knightly Orders] Deal With The Paperwork (0/2)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
-Order Master Kara Salafus upon being informed about the reorganization of the Knight Orders.
(Gain: Dealt with the paperwork.)
HAHAHA, I am so sorry for that Grand Master of the Order for that because that was a LOT of work just drop on him right now.

17th 'Lavawalkers' War-Pack - (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Pack.) - (Veterans)
21th 'Molten Knights' War-Pack - (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Pack.) - (Veterans)
23th 'The Lord's Lance' War-Pack - (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Pack.) - (Veterans)
29th 'Heralds of the Heavens' War-Pack - (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Pack.) - (Veterans)
Also, more veterans! and names based on the New Order they're now of. Lavawalkers and Molten Knights are on point and sound so cool. Lord's Lance has a story behind it and Heralds of the Heavens goes hard I wonder if they have Yeeni Pilots. Wish we could get bigger ones like from the Black Ash Clan.

[] [Chapter] Recuperate For The Rift Liberation (0/1)
We swore and oath to protect humanity, all humanity. We shall not be found wanting in the face of the horrors of the galaxy.
(Gain: The Lamenters will be able to clear Sub-Sector Claiden's Rift or die trying.)
Well at least they're waiting twenty years... how many losses did they take?

1st Company - ~85%
2nd Company - ~95%
3rd Company - ~80%
4th Company - ~95%
5th Company - ~85%
6th Company - ~95%
7th Company - ~90%
8h Company - ~95%
9th Company - ~90%
10th Company - ~95%
11th Company - ~100%
12th Company - ~90%
Okay not many but not full strength either, not too long of a wait and it seems there aren't any other Ork Space forces around so while it would take long, the Lamenters should be able to take care of liberating the northern part of the Sub-sector on their own.

Our advanced strikecraft training courses were supposed to be based on ancestral STC knowledge, such as recorded in the great annals of the ancient, like Top Gun.

Unfortunately, that work is lost to us, so they reconstructed it based on the derivative work "Bottom Gun". It's adults only, restricted access, so you know they kept only the important stuff.

(More seriously, there might be a mite bit of flanderization going on).
pffft, I'd believe it. In 40k it could happen, the only copy you could find of it was a shitty porn parody of it. A little Flanderization might be happening but it was bound to happen.

More that their upbringing and education predisposes them to a work-hard-party-hard lifestyle, not helped by strike craft piloting rewarding risk and focus if coupled with skill and training. So you have a lot of Thules who spend the majority of their days training to get into deadly fights and emerge alive seeking ways to release pressure. Couple that with a sex-positive culture, low stigma for non-standard couplings created by Thule-internal Culture's propensity for polygamy, and the allure of the exotic, and well.

It only takes one Thule out of a hundred to get frisky with a Yeeni to have the other 99 be deemed deviants extraordinaire.
Mostly because they'd try to get frisky too.:V
Yah that checks out and the Work Hard Party Hard in being a combat pilot and being mostly all female... it would lead to stuff like that, a lot of pressure and stress needing released and the rest of what the QM stated about the view of sex and non-standard couplings.... as well as anything exotic being pursued more because 'why not?'. Its like an avalanche, it just takes one Thule to do it before the rest follow and try their luck.

Also because of news of their antics gets around and they're like that with each other or more having a waiting queue among they which makes it worst.

Male Piscarian Teenager hears rumor about the human women willing and eager to bang Piscarians.
His two braincells trigger the Horni.
Tries.
Thules laugh at the teenager akwardly and boastfully trying to seduce them.
Teenager returns to home with wounded pride and ashamed.
Peers ask what happened.
Teenager lies out of his ass and boasts to end all boasts.
More MPTs try.
Thules get fed up and have the addendums added to the public rules.
NO WAY. Okay this is canon now. No one will convince me otherwise. The mother of All Bluffs with the it becoming self-feeding due to NOBODY wanting to admit they chickened out/failed/lied/etc. about it and building up the rumor/myth of the Thules. Of how it will rock your world, ruin any other coupling with Non-thules, etc. etc.

I guess as well a whole occupation of Work Hard Party Hard frisky women of mature age leads to fantasies or Rumors about it and this one teenager tries his luck. Still glad to see the Thules not take it and try to play it off or 'try again in ten years' or so. Most likely because if word DID get out she'd be used as target practice for live fire exercise for doing that.

It is honestly surprising it was the THULES who got fed up and had the rule added. Sadly this only increased the Legend and making MPT try regardless.
