Surprisingly, I am pretty lukewarm on SM2 gameplay-wise. It's nice...but not my style. This sequence came from a 40k Animation where a group of Space Marines are praying.Weaving_Dreamer said:
Nope, you will be using 55-God-Engine strong Legio. That's just the cost-benefit ratio.Weaving_Dreamer said:

They say that Space Marines, the Emperor's Angels, or Astartes if you are so inclined, do not cry. They are made in the perfect image of the God-Emperor by His own hands, and thus are above such base emotions as...sadness.
Glimmerlings know this to be false.
Space Marines can cry. They can shed tears for lives cruelly butchered, lives malformed by malicious, soulless intelligence, lives turned from the seed of a new generation into an abattoir of cruelty barely within human comprehension.
Space Marines can weep. They can have their sight become blurry by tears shed in hot fury for those who are tortured for the base indulgence of a soulless intelligence. They can have their sight become blurred by the waters shed when they hold corpses too small, too frail, too...less, who look at them with relief from glassy, dead eyes...
Space Marines can have their cheeks burn with the trails of salt as they rage, tearing apart the blackened-out heart of an abomination beyond abominations with their bare hands, whose workings have been deemed so far gone, so far beyond reckoning, that the Order of Cerberus has decreed Damnatio Memoria over the entire expedition, scrubbing all evidence of what they have uncovered in truth in favor of a manufactured lie.
Space Marines can shed tears. For others. For those who are lost. Those that are damned. Those that they could not save because they did not know they needed saving.
But there is one truth in the false belief that they cannot weep.
They cannot shed tears for themselves.
There are too many to shed for others first.

Ooof, that's nasty stuff.
Could you describe what kind of benefits we'd get from Advanced grade Cloning Technology vs Gene-Editing Research though? I'm not really sure what the difference is in t his context since they seem to be doing the same kind of thing.

yah and that's why I say its more a safety net/investment.
HAH, truly the French and Brazil jokes will never end. the fact your mind went to 'Bonjour' for the eldritch horrors shows the real horrors we already have seen and known.Fun Fact: I wanted to add a little "Bonjour" to the top-right eye (seen here (and holy fuck I just unlocked powers beyond your comprehension!
: D)), but it was a bit too big/obvious. Because the real eldritch horrors aren't themonstersfriends we woke along the way, but the French.
That's fine I just meant it reminds me of the after the Tutorial mission with the Chaplain and Titus talking and the nature of the questions.
Ah so its our version of what a Legio will be.... can we support more then one Legio? still it is a good ratio and powerful system conquering power.

Okay, so: you use cloning to create about ~7% of your population, or, in other words, at any one time about ~7% of your people are clones. Most notably, the Thules are almost all (>98%) clones. By going for the cloning option, you make the creation of Clones cheaper, safer, and more straightforward, alongside a myriad of other, more minor, benefits too numerous to list.
Research enables you to reverse-engineer gene-editing from the ground up to, basically, do what people do with gene-editing.
Would those gene-mods lead to the same vulnerability to chaos that mutants have?

So, behind the scenes improvement vs active new possibilities, then?
Seems useful for curing and stabling mutant genomes and could probably be used to help Thules down the line

Eh, I don't know if we want to open up even more research options when we already got plenty of options

Yeah, Wetware Comprehension requires further investment, but we were already planning a large research turn going forward courtesy of the Bounty of Labor, and we can leverage that into gaining a lot of the benefits of the Cloning boost, which requires no further investment.
Even if it won't be on the same level, it'll apply to people who aren't clones too. Being able to better treat illnesses and potentially actually cure mutation instead of just cut the lines out seems appealing.

Yeah, I do think improving our bots could lead to some FUN paths.
Personally I'm more in favour of passive effects, leaning Wombs. We are lining up to sink a shitton of effort into research, true, but we're already drowning in good and useful options. And consider the fact that passive effects will most likely apply to any future research we make: vatgrown meat to make vertical farming more efficient, organ cloning for medical purposes, bionics and wetware augmentations, servitor brains, Irritian biotech... Mass cloning has tremendous potential.

....So the first expedition was a...well shit that's heavy. Okay so...yikes...All paths are very interesting.
[] Wetware Cogitators
Okay this one is fun. More processing power for our automatons. It's not a bad thing especially as we do like the benefits of automation. Let's put this as a good middle choice. Buffs across industries I imagine.
[] Wetware Comprehension
Gene editing is interesting in that it will probably have the most effect in our Medical and Agricultural Industry. Remember that the "Human Genome" is sacred so I don't imagine we will go too hard into actual human genome editing and more agri and medical aspects
[] Wetware Wombs
This one is very noteworthy. One of the main problems(well "problems') is that when we expand via colonization the planet takes time to "fill up" so to speak. This would increase the rate of that if nothing else.
Looking at the three I am on the Wetware Cogitators or the Wetware Comprehension as the choices to go for.

I don't think our society would be really open to gene editing outside of bringing mutants back to mainline humanity.
So I don't think the federation would get the most benefit out of gene-editing. Plus, we already have a Space Marine geneseed available so we have all the transhuman soldiers we need.

Speaking of which, our new Song is up!
Looks like as I anticipated, it's a counter to Fate Hax, which tells us if someone's scrying us or using magic to manipulate our fate somehow and what they intend to get out of it, it's the counterplay to Space Elf and Tzeentch fuckery.
Notably, it's not helpful against divination brought way from pure computation. But that's not our main concern right now. It might include pure computational stuff too at higher levels, since it's only a level 1 Song right now.

If we limit gene editing to humans yeah the benefit is not that great but there are plants and medicines that can be conjured from this. Chi-kan is great but imagine Chi-kan that produces more poultry or Grox with less fat or whatever else. Human is a limited factor...though it will be an action and if we don't like that then more people per clone vat is fine as well
