Well we have some killer research. Those first three options... Maybe we should do some more automata research, it's really paid off every time we've done it. And now we're at 1.6 research per action!

And of course, one action for psychic hoods seems great.

And of course, two anti-duchy SBGs seems like a good counter if they decide to surprise.

I think we should make contact with the Black Ash Clan. The more we put it off, the riskier it's gonna get and we're gonna be forced into a war we didn't have to fight.

Thankfully, we're able to talk to two factions as a free action now, so we should do so. We can also infiltrate a second world as well, so we can start working on the neutral worlds in Macabre.

A Psykana action to get Paths and Growth for song experimentation?
Paths seems like it would fit into some neat things (road to x, warproutes, bring x to y (like x: the suns fire, y: our enemies) and Growth is also something we'd want in many areas.

[] [AUTOMATIC] System Subversion (Choose Two)
With the allocated funds, a slow subversion of a singular system can be undertaken. However, these efforts can be focused and accelerated with dedicated attention.
(Gain: Allows you to slowly convert one [1] random system at a time to the Glimmering Federation without Action cost.)

@HeroCooky
I think the Action title was changed without changing the description, leading to incongruency in the number of affected planets?
 
Oh hey, we actually ticked up a notch with the Duchy. They still hate us, but it's gone from incandescent fury to just deep loathing.

I guess it's hard to beat the hammer down when we've been sticking to the ceasefire in good faith, huh?
 
Wow the automation research gained us so much productivity. So much. I am salivating for the next level. I'm ok delaying the fleetbuiliding, but we can't delay it too long. I would like to do more diplomacy with Ashan to accelerate integration, but I get that there's a ton to do.

Two ideas:

[] Plan: too many options
-[] [Military] Sector Battle Group Construction And Repair
--[] 2x Long Range Anti-Duchy Specialist Fleets (0/1)
-[] [Psykana] Psytech Creations
--[] Primitive Psychic Hoods
-[] [General] Research:
--[] Small Automata Experiments
-[] [General] (free) Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication
--[] [AUTOMATIC] System Subversion (Continue peaceful Brans conversion, rapid Malusian subversion)
--[] [AUTOMATIC] Improve Relations (Van Zandt, Ashan Families)

[] Plan: Heck, let's see what's in here.
-[] [General] Research: x2
--[]Shattered STC-Fragment (3/5) x2
--[] Small Automata Experiments (free)
-[] [Military] Sector Battle Group Construction And Repair
--[] 2x Long Range Anti-Duchy Specialist Fleets (0/1)
-[] [General] (free) Ministry of Subversion, Infiltration, and Interstellar Communication
--[] [AUTOMATIC] System Subversion (Continue peaceful Brans conversion, rapid Malusian subversion)
--[] [AUTOMATIC] Improve Relations (Van Zandt, Ashan Families)

@HeroCooky would that autocomplete if we take another Psytech action, or do we have to invest an action into it?

Yeah, it would.

we got an extra improve relation, can we stack them upon each other?
also double subversion can we stack those?

No, you cannot.

I'm not sure but from the looks of things taking one Habitat Station action would finally end the Voxx Primus overpopulation crisis with a spare 5 billion housing to spare.
 
Another fun thing. We only need 1 Psykana action to upgrade our research song to the next level.

Alright, with the confirmation that "Yes, actually, the Psykadameia will establish itself automatically", gimmie a sec to finalize something.

[ ] Plan: Moff Shooshing
-[] [General] Develop The Federations'...
--[] Void Industry X (0/1)
-[] [Psykana] Psytech Creations
--[] Primitive Psychic Hoods
-[] [Faith] The "Gods" Of Mothome

General thrust here is. "Get Psytech into our Research envelope, push Void Industry back up to X, then figure out what the deal with the moff spirits are and figure out how to integrate them into our theology, or if we need to break them." Alternately, we could double-tap Void Industry + Void Stations to push to XI, and make the push to XII less daunting (Especially if we can figure out a good path to upgrading Void Industry with a Song or something).

Next turn, the plan would be getting two LRADs, more habitats (Which'll also get us VI XI while also making sure we've got no space issues pending), and then we've got a flex for diplomacy.

Mogteolt is the world next to Brans owned by the same group
--[] [AUTOMATIC] Improve Relations (Van Zandt, Ashan Families)

the Black Ash Clan will not like us taking over their systems so better have a fleet ready to go in case of war.
the pro war parts of Van Zandt might also rethink their plans if they find out we add two more SBG's ready to go
 
Hey, @HeroCooky , need a Song Vibe Check.

Progress/Technology/The Void/Machinery/Progress ? Would this get us a Void Infrastructure boosting song? Or is it at least "Pretty close?"

10ebbor10 said:
Ah, somehwo missed that.


Wouldn't it be better to build a hab rathr than void Ind? Like, at this point building habitats is just the plain better way.

We lose that 1 point VI if it goes up to X, since we won't be recovering a lost point. But the VI gain from habitats isn't going away.

Automation just about doubled the number of SBGs we made, might be worth getting the next level before making more.

@HeroCooky Three questions:
1. Can you explain the automata action a bit? Will it enhance our ship production as much as the last one?
2. How many actions to buy-out the Ashan goverment now? Does enhanced productivity help it?
3. Are we close to singing two songs? Is that ever going to be a thing.

In this case yes. Also hi I am back. I had…a day. It's been a thing but yes Moff Shoosing is a good plan especially if we replace with just building a Habitat. Also that does address, somewhat, the population issue…but that's not really an issue anymore after the utter beating we gave the orks. I think we are good now
