Blowing 10 actions on this before we have Titan Rationalization reaearch seems... Questionable. I'd prefer to just spend those same actions to get heavy industry to XV and unlock geoengineering for Titanofactorums so we can auto-build them.

I had a write-in for this that I quote below if you want to be more elaborate about it.

I'm not a fan of the terraforming action. Or the colonization, to be honest. They don't actually grow us very much. I'd much prefer some other diplomacy actions towards the Confederacy, clans and black cat:

---[] Using our ISC penetrance, create and distribute propaganda about how amazing the Glimmerling Federation is, how excellent our quality of life is, how long people live, how incredible our technology is, how amazing our Titans are, and wouldn't it be amazing to join us?

@Alectai what do you think of this spread & the linked plan as a whole? I have yet to get specific permission to do this, but it's the only way I see to do more research. I'm somewhat proud of all the write-in diplomacy actions at the bottom.

Speaking of @HeroCooky are the quoted actions valid? I want to do more research but we're out of research to do, so this is basically asking you to pick several techs further down the lines of green-ship tech, grav guns and automation to give us. Or improve the techs we're getting appropriately I guess?

Well growth is measured by population so more planets isn't bad. Plus we can use our songs on it if we do our regular actions. So we can get one other action there. Well we will see soon enough but yeah

But we could get more population from integrating the several nearby polities. We don't need more planets, we should spend more actions on diplomacy.

Also, maybe we should send a message to the Star-Child again, just to ask what the hell is up with the quarantined system and how we can defeat the danger there.

Problem is that:
1. We are getting to the end of the Necron arrival grace period and all of their ship research is 4-5 actions now. This is the only way we get it.
2. The quest is ending in a few months, those traits aren't going to have as much time to apply themselves as the Symphony boosted research is.
3. There are 3 total upgrades left to the Faith Trait, we gain 1 level from the 'No Evil' song (and we'll soon get the Choirs to use it at full power) and there are the All 15 and All 20 rewards that we can put into the Faith Trait to bring it to max.

1. Sure, but as amazing as cribbing off necron tech is, I'm not interested in spending the following week redesigning every ship to account for it
2. So? I could make the exact same argument for the research not applying for long
3. And we'll likely get the same mass of actions to burn as an option then two, and going off previous behavior we'll skip this then as well

I know it will lose. But I want to voice my support for becoming anti-Chaos. For now essentially all our main enemies are just Chaos (the grumpy necron won't fight us. He'll just take his stuff or kill us).

@Aura Dragon @Alectai the overflow research actions are valid! If we're doing this, let's do it all the way.

I suppose you're right, certainly won't hurt. Should put us well on our way.

Incidentally @HeroCooky , what does VI XVI let our SDF forces look like? Have we reached the point where every start system has Heavy Cruisers in their defense forces yet?

EDIT: And while I'm on the topic, I realized last night that our Battleships have more in common with the Gloriana-classes from the dawn of the Great Crusade than "Modern" Battleships, which are closer to slightly oversized Grand Cruisers, is that intentional? Or did you just make an Executive Decision to make Battleships twice as big as a baseline and Glorianas are like, fifty kilometers long now?

Clearly, we should put all actions on psykana, that gets us (statistically speaking) 5 Holy Turns.

It'll be great.

Yeah, you have a trio of their Monitor variants as SDF by now.

And now, I am giving you Gloriana-expies because you are a bit above the tech-level of Great Crusade-Era Imperium. So you get to bling out, like everyone else does when faced with a millennium of warfare and needs must over ideology. But keep in mind that it is now 300.M43, with Rowboat Eldarlayer in charge for over a millennium. The current Imperium is not the Imperium of M42.

True enough, is Chaos somehow magicking tech growth up too or are they still working with Great Crusade hand-me-downs boosted by shoving Daemons in it?
