Okay to do the math for All X which requires, now, 31 actions(thank the Chi-kan) as of now. The trait takes 12 actions and reduces it to about 17 actions. Meaning that it saves us two actions on getting all X if we do this. It's barely a cost saver.

Not really as we expand the cost will become cheaper thanks to bigger economy which action cost of dev actions stays the same, not to mention a possibilty of using songs to cut down costs

For the size growth yes. For the songs aspect I have no faith that we will do songs unless literally forced to like we are being kek. Jesus it's so bad

Edit: but seriously yes the only way froward is literally to grow to the size needed to do this

[] Plan Faith, talking to the Black Ash Clan and new ships
-[] [Faith] An Unborn Guide Sought Out (Pantheon of the Eleven Spirits (50 Years Remain)
--[ ] "Vibe Check says good, but precedent says no, please advise because holy fuck this is above our pay grade"
-[] Formal Exchange Of Diplomatic Contacts (Black Ash Clan)
- [] [Military] Sector Battle Group Construction And Repair
--[] Hydralisk and Necrolisk (0/1)
---[] Transfer a Leo from each existing SBG to the new ones and build Pegasus-Class Command Cruisers to replace them
---[] Transfer two Scorpio-Class Light Cruiser from each existing SBG to the new ones and build Hydrus-Class Rad Cruisers to replace them
---[] Alter the default for new SBG's to 1 Pegasus-Class Command Cruisers + 3 Leo's and 2 Hydrus-Class Rad Cruisers as part of their light cruisers

I think this works better in the long term by keeping fleet deployments simpler with more SBG instead of adding a new type of fleets.

Banked research should be at 0.2 as we got 0.6 per research for the STC and spend 1 on the chik-an's

[ ] Plan: Someone is gonna have to address the awkward elephant in the room
-[ ] [Military] Sector Battle Group Construction And Repair
--[] 2x Long Range Anti-Duchy Specialist Fleets (0/1)
-[] [Psykana] Melodies
--[] Progress ||, Technology ||, Hope ||, Humanity ||
-[] Formal Exchange Of Dipomatic Contacts (Black Ash Clan)

New plan. This will upgrade the research song. Let's see what our QM means by this shall we? We can hold off on making a song this turn...mostly cause this might actually be stupid good

Look I got room for three priorities. 1 is All X, one is the Question we have to ask the big man and one is this nightmare of a diplomatic bomb. I have never regretted a plan I voted for more than I do right now but infiltrating Brans was a fucking mistake. I can't handle a fourth thing. I got room for three actions!!

Edit: That's if my plan loses mind you. If it wins one the three actions is "Dismantle this stupid bomb" and the other is the Faith and the last one might be to do a song

Anyway, all but confirmed that upgrading songs is important, can we please do that?

My plan does it. The tech song and part of the two songs you wanted upgraded. It's not everything but boss said tech song shows the real power...and I need something to make my arguments for songs later on

Edit: Upgrading songs, making songs, doing melodies are all important but we just keep just not doing it
 
... Okay, fine Cooky, you win.

[ ] Plan: Let's find out what Upgraded Songs Do
-[] [Psykana] Conduct Four Melodies (0.6/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melodies]
--[ ] Technology II, Progress II, Fire II, Hope II
-[ ] [Psykana] Sing a Song
--[ ] Technology, Progress, Creativity, Logic, Song (Advance Upon Difficult Paths)
-[] [Faith] An Unborn Guide Sought Out (Pantheon of the Eleven Spirits)
--[ ] "Vibe check says yes, story clears up, do you think you can make use of eleven potential subordinates or would you prefer to have them keep to themselves? Or would you rather we do something about this? This is kind of outside of our wheelhouse"

Upgrade Spark of Genius to see what Cooky's meming about, and unlocks something that might help us with the big Megaproject we've now got on the table (This is pretty difficult after all). If it turns out to be awesome, we can upgrade this quickly too.

Upgrading Fire also pushes us on the way to being able to rush our other infrastructure Songs too.

We should have a bit more time before the ceasefire ends, and the Unborn Guide option is Red, which means "Take it now or forever hold your peace"

If the option post intro about Black Ash Clan is a diplomatic conference then I do believe we can pull them in real deep

I don't care if it really means we do have 50 turns to do it. We need to do it within 50 years and nothing is currently on fire, so let's do it now. That way when something does light on fire, we can do it without having the faith action breathing down our neck.

As for upgrading songs - we're also one action off from upgrading our transit & communication songs. So...
[ ] Plan: Let's Upgrade some Dang SONGS
-[] [Psykana] Conduct Four Melodies (0.6/1 - Auto Complete) - [Choose Melodies] x2
--[ ] Technology II, Progress II, Fire II, Hope II, Home II, Humanity II, Unity II, Paths I
-[] [Faith] An Unborn Guide Sought Out (Pantheon of the Eleven Spirits)
--[ ] "Vibe check says yes, story clears up, do you think you can make use of eleven potential subordinates or would you prefer to have them keep to themselves? Or would you rather we do something about this? This is kind of outside of our wheelhouse"

Notably, this would also let us sing the following songs starting at level II:
A Tribe Called: Luminous
A Tribe Called: Eternity
Gears Grinding Guts, Cogs Crushing Centuries
A Home With Bread Above The Hearth

And a ton more within one step of being upgraded. (health, justice, death, creativitiy would all be good choices)

We should dump the STC in a museum and forget about it. It should never be build, because it's not good. .

Unfortunately I agree with this. @HeroCooky Could we make an ISC that would auto-tick the planet cracker? It's just never going to get done without something like that.

First of, I'd say get rid of the Lupus destroyers. There's way too few of them to be effective screens, they won't survive to close with the enemy to use their light rotary cannon, there's not enough to effectively lay mines, and they're still an old design so they don't even have the good torpedoes, mines or cannons.

They're built to be scouts, to ensure the fleet doesn't get ambushed. Almost any destroyer could serve in their stead, and if we had multiple SBGs together then there'd be enough Lupus' to lay a real minefield.

We have built 2 SBGs and are making more this turn.

We haven't built any yet. We have a few ships, but nothing substantial. If the duchy decides to surprise-attack us we might be in bad shape.
