I'd remind everyone that

It would, but you should worry about getting accurate reports about the outlying systems first, before you start looking at getting a courier service up and running.

we do not have accurate scouting reports on other systenem and the strength within them, so there a chance herocooky just lying to us about the pirate, the orks strength ect. So if we are gonna spend this turn on ship building I'd rather focus on getting more scouts
 
.... Yeah, that fourth action is Sketchy as fuck. Previously, any time we got a Bonus Action, the cause for it was clearly labelled. In this case, we just got one for seemingly no reason and then "This is a lie" next to it. That Smacks of Fuckfuck Games.
 
Like I'm assuming that what's being calculated is our active 'can go places' navy, @HeroCooky , rather than also our SDFs and the local defense things and so on.

But fundamentally it's not as if we're actually slacking on this shit.

Hell, getting to 4/6 in the Navigator Psyakana as my plan does means that even it works towards improving our military capacity. It just doesn't panic and drop everything at the first sign of danger.
 
Yeah, every other time we've gotten a Bonus Action, we were Clearly told what gave it to us. In this case, it just magically showed up with "This is a Lie" next to it.
 
Okay, so it is 0/2, that does mean we can hold off on the Food for one turn.

Maybe 1x integrate, investigate the mystery box, Home Psyakana, and then a military action?

Maybe get 1/2 on another Light Cruiser to satisfy the @Alectai wing?

We also just took a planet that Tzeentchians--of which at least one Greater Daemon was fucking around for a Scheme that involved the Orks pushing on a certain timetable--and of which had several daemons and rituals cast, and which was abandoned with suspicious swiftness without even trying to fight us, had significant influence and was maybe a turn from falling before we arrived.

What I'm trying to say is "If there's Any place where there was an Active Scheme in place, this is a high likelihood place"

Anyway, since Perfinda's a two action outcome, and people are going "Yeah we'll be fine with our strong SDF forces holding ground", here's an alternative plan.

Since rushing it isn't an option, can we put one point into it instead and use our third flex slot for a Psykana, since "Fair enough, more tools are better than less, and another step to unfucking our travel won't hurt us"

[ ] Plan: GET BEHIND ME SATAN
-[ ] Intergrate Perfinda
-[ ] [General] RANSACK THAT STATION!
-[ ] [Psykana] Conduct a Melody (Choose one below.) (0.6/1 - Auto Complete)
--[ ] The Home

We've got a Libra, if we're not pushing our armed forces this turn despite my misgivings, get us more scouts.
 
Alectai said:
Wait, is it a lie or is it true? Why would you do this if it's a lie?

[ ] Plan: Oh shit the Orks are building up steam send help
-[ ] [Military] Construct A Warp Ship x2
--[ ] Crux Class
--[ ] Lupus Class
-[ ] [General] Integrate Perfinda

2x Crux classes, 4x Lupus Classes, and a Libra-class, with our Aries serving as last-line escorts for the Libra, and we have the foundations of a fully functioning battlegroup.

Would be great if we could fit in the tech sharing option.
QM confirmed that if we choose a sharing doctorine that allows it and take an action to teach them, then the Kil'drabi would start to upgrade their battlecolony on their own.
 
Alectai said:
I'd rather better information if we can't push our full force concentration. So I'd prefer more sloops, especially if we're not doing a full crash-build right now.

Either more Wolves or more Compasses, I think.

Building takes time though? Light Cruisers are 0/2, so if we don't start doing it now if we do have to do a crash building in two turns it would be too costly to do a Light Cruiser then.

One Libra will be fine until we have enough escorts to justify a second, I'd rather have more hulls to keep the Libra out of danger than I would a second Libra. And if I had to pick something right now, I'd rather better information or enough torpedo destroyers to reliably punch down heavies.

What? Noooo.

Yes, yes I absolutely am. You have a Scouting Efficiency of 8.3%.

Your info gathering right now is bad.

It is, you are correct in that. I am measuring your 'Go Places Fleet' against the local defenders and ships.

Please take a gander at the last update, and look once more at the colors of the Chaos ships being called out.

Now, what Chapter wearing a three-headed snake could those colors belong to? :thonk:
 
... FUCKING ALPHA LEGION

Yeah, do Not take that fourth action. It's fuckin' bait.

It's just the fact we have anti-Chaos bullshit (And presumably, not being something they've had thousands of years of profiling on and thus can play you like a fiddle) that means we actually get a chance to go "Wait that's not right" rather than just "The Alpha Legion marches in and Infiltrates your ass to the top levels and nobody gets a chance to resist because memes and Alpha Legion", huh?

okay yah that clinches it for me

[] Plan: Info Gathering is Important
-[] [General] Integrate Perfinda (0/2) x1

I wouldn't be shocked at all if the orks are all way weaker than us now it just our infogathering shit and even if it true

we are still fine cause our local defender would still be stronger and 8.3 Efficiency is ludcirous bad that we need to correct much more than are already strong navy/local defense

tbc this plan only use three actions

I mean, there's definitely at least some psychic element to the Alpha Legion Infiltration Memes, considering that it seems really hard to mistake a 9 foot tall dude who's built like a Rob Liefield character as an uninteresting clerk.
