@HeroCooky Question: Can we build up our station into an orbital ring? Like in stellaris, imo, I would prefer we just say nope to planets and be entirely voidborne, and our main planet or station is a fucking huge orbital ring.

Kinda hard to do when you're in the middle of three stars in my opinion.
But you can build such structures should this quest go long enough to breach into the Mega-Engineering for "aesthetic" phase of stellar nations.

Cicle the three star with a ring and the oringal space station as the center point connected trough axis ..... wait a second we inveted the wheel again just in spaceKinda hard to do when you're in the middle of three stars in my opinion.

I'm not entirely against Have Some Faith winning, but I will note that at some point we need to, like, leave the Chapter to its own devices to, y'know, actually help the population of 90 million. We'll have done a Chapter action 3 of the last four turns, more often than literally ANY other faction, even Faith.
Don't get me wrong, I also want to get our education system up and running too. As that would most definitely put us a couple steps ahead of the average Imperial (most of whom aren't getting an education besides those that are a part of noble houses). So yeah, a nation with most of its populace educated would help us improve by leaps and bounds. Especially as that would hopefully lead us to eventually getting actual engineers and specialists without needing to try and butter up to some rogue Tech Priests. The plan I'm making next turn is going to be including The Great Education alongside Motive force to get maximum education benefits.
But with Have Faith, that gets us more Rep with the Lamenters, meaning that when we do come to blows with the Imperials the Lamenters might be more willing to aid us rather than turning on us (another thing to note, despite their bad luck, The Lamenters are one of the best Chapters for defending people, given they're compassion is seconded only by the Salamanders). Not to mention saving the Imperials on the Moon will bet us a higher population, thus giving us more numbers (though that'll also mean having to take Food Production, but that's a sacrifice I'd be willing to take).

So to do the unofficial math, we have to think, where would we categorize some of these things? Repairing the Station and clearing out the Dark Ritual stuff seems like it helps everyone, so I'll count that as Everyone. Obviously Uniting the Faith is Faith.
Next round we do the Economy, which I think we can say is purely Civilian, get the Military set up, there's a Military, and help the Chapter.
Next, we finally do a Choir action (making the Symphonium), do a Void action (new category, starting scouting) and another Chapter action.
Everyone-2 (Repairing and getting rid of dark symbols)
Faith--2 (Uniting the Faith, and Making Shrines.)
Military--1 (Military set up)
Civilian--1 (Making an Economy)
Chapter--3 (Chapter Set up, Neophyte Implant, Neophyte Training)
Void--2 (Scouting, Scouting Frozen World)
Choir--1 (Making Symphonium)
Someone who is good at Quests, help me balance my action economy budget! My population is suffering!
"Spend less on the Chapter."
No.
...when exactly are we going to build an army to deal with our entrenched Psykana problem? I'd rather wait on the Motive Force until we have more educated people who can be part of that.

Fair, just that the Psykana experiments are all entrenched deeper into the station. Guess I could replace Motive with Building up light infantry, so long as we don't put off Motive Force for too long, we definitely need to get our tech improved before we can think of fighting the Imperials (or doing an Offensive action period, excluding the Psykana Experiments). I'd reckon our current tech levels are slightly worse than Imperial tech. Because while we are in a liberated Dark Mech station, we had to burn and purge a bunch of corrupted tech and parts as well, meaning we probably lost some stuff during that purge.

@HeroCooky
How many Chapter marines are needed to Count as heavy support?

...well, yes? That's why I was suggesting creating an infantry unit so as to get closer to that goal. As opposed to just sitting on our hands going, "Oh, gee, it'd be nice if we had two infantry, but I guess we can't take actions to achieve that."

Twenty should be enough, with heavy industry to outfit them in good enough-ish power armor.

Or we could have two units and at least moderate support from the Space Marines.
My preferred option, i just wanted to point out that chapter is a form of military support, too.

How about: Education, Raising One Infantry Unit, and Heavy Industry?
And then the next turn (two turns from now) Psykana clearing out, one more Infantry Unit, and a Freebie to deal with whatever big problem has cropped up.

Sounds good, with the obvious caveat of "whatever next turn may bring".
We may have the opportunity to expand lamenters again (next step is 20 neophytes if chapter head awakens, gene seeds for 40 neophytes if not), and doing the heavy industy in the freebie the turn after would mean 2 infantry units+ heavy support from lamenters sounds like the point I'd be comfirtable (+ the option for symposium to Conduct a Melodyfor military support when next military issue arises. Thats many AP into military issues, but in wh40k we gotta be able to defend ourselves)

I for one agree that the Space Marines will be fine for a few turns by themselves we've done serious early game investment for them they'll be fine for a while now. Cause we should focus on building our own military units ensuring education happens for the populace and probably looking at industrial advancement via the Motion Force options and other options.
So I at least won't be selecting the Chapter for the next 3-4 turns honestly.
