is some special software used to make the maps or is it just purely paint.net or gimp or something?

[X] Plan: Keep calm, Automate Everything
Autoloaders cost 2 DP to add to a ship and boost the performance of macro cannons, missiles and torpedoes so we want them on all ships with the possible exception of our carrier and troop transport.
When standarised we can use those 2 DP for other weapons or equipment for those ships.

"Hey. Want to taste pure happiness? Yeah you do. Here. First bite's free. After that, it'll cost ya..."
One of the titles of a Primaris Psyker.
Youe definition of people contains vastly more sophonts than that of the Imperium.
Yes and MMI + a 9 Action Write-In.
It suffers from a distinct case of "No Purpose-Made Civilian Available" as it is. Once I am back home, I'm gonna add some that can be used for specialist aid ships like the Cassiopeia. But in its current form around 10~15 would be able to massively help a planet suffering a crisis like famine or plague, if not outright stop it in its tracks, or reduce a loss of Dev Levels when incorporating new planets.
Ye, it would be.
It would give a Mechanical benefit.

@HeroCooky Under the rules we made the Lamenters having another Psykana Order (the Librarians) distinct from the Choirs should be fine, could we make a write-in to allow them to recruit compatible Psykers?

Yeah, easily.
Could we go the other way and start a cooperation with the Lamenters with the goal of them getting Choirs?
Or would that be too much change for them?
"and then its violence all the way down"
Note, that we might be able to shortcut a lot of violence with bribery.
Once we are done with Van Zan we should try actually setting up a place for diplomacy with the kind of people impressed by pomp. And luxury resorts we can use as bribes ("you can stay in your position, with its risks and mediocre luxuries, or you can do us a favor and spend your remaining years in the lap of [resorts name] luxuries far away from competitors that would try to hurt you").
With Civ Infra >10, our general living standards are pleasure-world levels. I bet we can put something together that is very tempting for normal nobles.
Yeah, as cynical as it is, unless they know how to hit us specifically, they'll probably stir up the other gangs a lot, leaving fertile ground for us to take over once they think they are done.
@Alectai, got one question:
Where is the Radlance?
Those are described as messing with the sensors of shields, so presumably make everything attacking those shields more effective.
So wouldn't it be better to have 1 rad, rest non-rad lances?
It sounds to me like us having 0 radlances in our fleet means we are leaving effectiveness on the table.
We can't, Rad-Lance can only go on Light Cruisers and above, not Frigates
It could be darkly amusing if the Imperials notice our subversion by the resounding lack of incoherent screaming in human suffering. An Administratum clerk notices a distinct lack of expected disease fatalities and Corpse-starch material harvesting from Underhive Segment 171. The AdMech foundation-maintenance team realize there's a worrying lack of battle-damage repair work being done and some lay-person has to explain that's because the gangs aren't fighting there. Eventually the Arbites get very, very concerned that there's a black hole in their map of rampaging psykers and become convinced there's a cult.
Thinking about the current situation though would Imperial Psykers be a reasonable class of people to try to subvert? They're watched closely but they get treated quite badly. Psyker-Lord Shem Al-Abdazzah probably has all the bribes he could ask for his service but getting the people tasked with finding the local psykers to cook the books to cover for our gang might be an option. The Star Child has a lot to offer a psyker compared to an Imperial Noble or Officer.
Emojis are a disturbingly good metaphor for empathic psychic communication in written media.

...also, now I have the image of some Psykers learning how to perform complex psychic rituals by reading emoji cat-speak chat messages.

Absolutely too much change.

The possible exception? Adding Missiles and Torpedoes to our Carriers would be spending DP just to get use out of Equipment that's useless on them, taking up weapon slots (and therefore space) that could be spent on, y'know, BEING CARRIERS.
I was thinking of a single light macro cannon turret, so they can fight of destroyers as they have the shields and armor to outlast them while the single set of turrets takes them out.
But this would only be done after adding all possible hangars and carrier boosting gear.

Wow, that'd be a comical waste. We have more Hangars and Carrier Equipment than we can fit in a single design without that being everything.
You know how a Carrier would fight off destroyers?
It'd have the fighters and bombers it's carrying... destroy them?
Yeah, a Light Plasma Macrocannon wouldn't hurt so they can get off a couple shots. But of course, not something to get if it will compromise the Carrier's effectiveness beyond acceptable levels, but you can't always rely on a ship never needing guns in 40k, even if it has a bunch of badass gals
In the base dimensions, yes, but any future Libra-Q is going to be larger so I'm confident we can fit a turret in. Unless @HeroCooky has something else to say.

If we have more DP, the actual thing to go for is the Top Gun situation, as expensive as that is.
It's baffling because at every point in time our Doctrine has massively outperformed doing it the boring, normal way with big ol' cannons.
E: Further, adding a single Light Turret Cannon on its own won't do much, and spending the DP for equipment to enhance that, again, comes out of the DP that could be spent for things that are actually good on a carrier.

There would be no need to spend anything to enchant that as the autoloaders would be free after standardization.
Depends on how far away they are attacking if it is like during some of the WW2 naval battles they can be hours away.
