Feels like we can just wait them out and just try and find chinks in their copium to actual negotiate with sane people. We already saw that after generations that the fringes stopped being so dogmatic so chances are the mainland will also feeling that soon.
Only reason to rush for it now is if we want that infrastructure now and more intact cause I feel chances are their forges are going to degrade from lacking materials and/or conservative spite.

Oh yeah @HeroCooky , much as I will assuredly regret asking this.
We still need our d100
Fuck this better not be a Chaos Number...

Im sorry. I truly am.
I was one off from the Funni Number.
I shall now commit sudoku in shame.
I think we have one chance to take the forge without it being a whole giant action-sink of a campaign, and it's now. We need that industrial capacity, and we owe it to the menials to free them from conditions not that much worse than what the Dark Mechanicum enforces. If we want to conquer Qulach's Forge at all, this is the best option.
We never made a deal with them to go away afterwards, did we? We landed and started killing chaos and that was a good thing. Now they're weakened, and it's our only chance to take them over without dedicating an entire campaign to it. Again, we do this now or we don't do it at all.
This isn't going to work - it's the goddamned Imperium. Rejecting reality is their whole Schtick. The Mechanicus is even less likely to bow to reason, just calling us Hereteks and building up every scary weapon they can to make sure that any attempt to conquer them is long and bloody. I wouldn't put it past them building a self-exterminatus as a final screw-you if we give them fifty years.
I agree on this. Sagat is a problem, but it's not a problem that's growing. We can sit on Sagat with existing forces for a little while, especially with new Andromedas coming online to ease out the supply situation. Our forces there are heavy units, and will be more effective as more supplies arrive.
I 100% agree with this. If we don't take the forge now, then we won't do it. Or if we do decide to invade later, that means we made a mistake now. It's going to sit there as a thorn in our side, building anti-orbit weapons and turning itself into a fortress for the foreseeable future. I think we either hit them now or commit to doing the propaganda actions. That's the only way we can possibly turn them bloodlessly, and I'm not even sure it'll work.

Lol
Lmao even
This option is so ass i genuinely don't see how anyone will end up voting for it, trade in a whole fucking Choir for a Scout ship? Because its a Star Treck reference?
Hell no.
Nkt just no, but Hell no.

There's going to be a (Light Cruiser) Scout anyway that's going to explore unknown regions. The question is whether it does so very, very slowly or very quick.
This is an obvious yes, lol. Lmao even.
Also it should be clear that the Choir still exists.

Also, the Yeeni updated, so here's what we're talking about:

Depends, they are still a few systems away from us so we have time before we need to address it. In the short term, when they can hardly even reach us without barreling through multiple Chaos-held systems it's not a huge priority.
okay glad it not just me cause people keep menointng the deal we made with them and I don't remember making one either

Hmm the Yneei ship is bit better designed than I expected it's 2 steps better on length and 1 step better on width from our base and it only cheap out on shields on one stage. Would had expected their ship to have issues and flaws like the initial Kil ship since iirc we're not exactly sharing all our tech and DP with the Yneei what with them being protectorates and not kin.
We were so close to the population boomIm sorry. I truly am.

Due to how our psykana rolls work, don't we want to do multiple psykana actions per turn? That saving throw from we get only applies if we have a critfail roll.

I mean, while getting a 55 is awesome, we're 4x as likely to roll a Chaos number and we only have a 1/5 chance of negating it.

This. Holy Turns are amazing, but Chaos Turns would be awful.

Well, you will notice that the Big Ticket Items here are two things that you don't have a monopoly on; the Yeeni Engineering Aux and Small Manufactory. Further, the problem with the Kil'drabi ships was that they are, essentially, Flying Cities That Can Also Fight In Battles. That was their problem.
And, c'mon. If you were sending out a new ship with explorers after what happened the last time you did that, wouldn't you spend several turns and Actions to smooth out any issues and eek out any advantage you could for a one-off ship?
That specifically is probably why the Ship Shrines are there: they really don't want a repeat of last time.

But yeah, right now the Yeeni have 17 DP as compared to our 24 DP for Light Cruisers. So it's significantly less amazing, but not terrible. A generation and a half behind us I think?

Kugelraumer are Best Raumer.So do the Mashan ships look like this?
If yes i absolutely approve, because that is the best Sci-Fi ship design I know of
I will take no criticism.

Keep in mind, we got extra DP b/c we have a doctrine that gives a bonus to our shields, hangers, and engines and went for quality of quantity, and that was with a Void Industry X milestone. While I personally would have stripped the Luxurious amenities and reduced the size for greater speed, shields and weapons, this is good enough for its purpose.
