No, and we're not going to... well, not anytime soon. We have honestly much bigger priorities.
We need ship building action. We just lost a good chunk of our screening ships- we are down to 6 remaining Aries-S destroyers and only 2 Crux-S missile frigates. With the Kil'drabi frigates taking up the slack and our older ships struggling as well.

We also probably need one more Andromeda, depending, to fit the increase to our ship totals/etc.

...are we allowed to put more than one weapon in the prow? Also yeah, my bad, I forgot to update the cost in my notes.
As for the load-out choice, with the fixed math, I will upgrade the 2 lance turrets to medium, as I want a bit of flexibility in target acquisition, and honestly, I really did want to commit to the bit on it being a pure sniper boat, but erred on caution since shit happens and foxes do get in among the hens sometimes.
is this a typo?

I say an action on Lamenters and an action on actually talking to the Temple Authority with the third action being whatever is the way to go

No, and given what Cooky said we probably won't touch it at all until we get our next Faith Turn, if we can spare an action.
While I would love to have more Warpacks, we honestly need more ships at the moment, specifically Crux-S's, but I do agree with that research so we can improve our ground forces.
Yep, there's no stipulations against that, and of all the times I suggested it the QM hasn't said I couldn't so I take it that it's not impossible.
Actually, HeroCooky said we could make contact with them as a Free action so we could do that along with our attack plan.
But if we plan to start a ground campaign we need bpth more wheight and the upgrades or else a lot of people will die.

I mean, at this point we kinda need to just eat that. We have a bunch of Tauruses-S's, we can in fact flood a massive number of SAGs into each system.
Don't be so hyperbolic, we do have a lot of SAGs and the capacity to move them and we are going to concentrate on taking a couple systems. But right now keep in mind that the enemy has more ships than us and will likely do what they can to keep getting more ships and with 2 of our traits specifically increasing the amount of ships we make per action we could probably outproduce them and drown them in ships if we really focused on it.

My suggestion for a plan would be:

-[] [General] Reaserch:
--[] Automechanical Augmentations, Directional Ion Shields, and Karnivore Weapon And Equipment Loadouts
-[] [Military] [Construct+Refit]
--[] All Libra-S, Crux, and Taurus (10 FP)
--[] 1x Andromeda (8 FP)
--[] 2x Crux-S (8 FP)
--[] 5x Aries-S (10 FP)
-[] [Military] Begin Military Operation - Foot In The Door
--[] SAGs: As many as are deemed needed by theater command.
--[] LOCATIONS: The Lethysan and Terrore systems
--[] Objectives: Take and hold ground within the aforementioned systems. Full control of planetary bodies is not strictly necessary but greatly preferred. Then, bunker down fleet assets and prepare for a counterattack from Chaos.
-[] Free: Contact the Temple Authority officially to both properly establish diplomatic ties (assign 1 Choir to a permanent diplomatic delegation if that is acceptable to the Marshan for more effective communication) and inform them of our intended offensive to relieve some of the pressure on them.
-[] Free: Assign the Choirs to begin researching the Grounding Melody

I don't know if it is possible but can we do something for the jolly eco to be a passive thing ?
Like we could write-in something about it to be that it gives a boost or even bonus to trade, heck try to turn it into a passive conversion to our faith because of the trade between both us and the families,the believers being more resistent to chaos is a very good start point, and that after X number of turns we could just use one action to firmly place them into the Star Children warm embrace.
Because one of our best actions was using the write-in mechanic.

None, you said the Navy should raid, and a'raiding they went. They are all free to act as you desire.

What I meant was, what units are engaged in the a'raiding? All of them? Since obviously we want to keep whatever forces we have at Kapion's Hope there rather than having them all leave it to swing/etc?
