Oh my Glob... That Production line action was one of the best things we did in this Quest.
VINDICATION!

I knew it was gonna be a worthwhile venture!
They, like Primarchs, can age, and thus die of Old Age like Chyron just did.
We do see that with Space Marines like Dante being ancient AF and the signs are showing (he's most likely dead), but Dreadnoughts are able to live for significantly longer. Just look at Bjorn Fell-Handed and the Anchorite who've been interred since the Horus Heresy and are still alive and kicking ass in 40k.
 
Just want to point out that populace on planets is far more productive than populace in stations.
Yes. They are planets after all. They have oodles of stuff you can exploit, not to mention will boost your overall economy/Action efficiency far more than the space stations will.
I.e. terraforming gets a lot more bang for the buck than stations do. I'd prefer to do basically zero station building. It's not an efficient action.
 
If the lowest estimate of 6 turns is right none of the terraforming will be done time except maybe Howling Gale or Amut that holds less then a single station action.
If the voxx action gives us a 7th turn we can build stations but lets not spend it before we get it.

1: evac design, SBG 1/9, Salvage Study
I want to do the evacuation design action so we know how much actions we need for building evacuation ships

2: SBG 2/9, voxx action, new designs for the SBG
Design a new and improved crux, one more civilian ship if needed, 4 points for other designs

3: SBG 3/9, 4/9, 5/9
Building more ships to get ready for the war

4: SBG 6/9 evac construction 1/2 + 2/2
Build more warships + evac ships

5: SAG 1/2 , SAG 2/2, Novel Infantry-Grade Weapons and Armor Development + 1 more(free)
Getting the troops ready to go

6: SBG 7/9, SBG 8/9, SBG 9/9
Building more ships to get ready for the war

You have a point but the stations also serve as long term investiment for All-X(which is the highest milestone we will reach in the dev department) and get done immediately. When you remember that is 12 billion people per action(36 billion at the 3 needed for the +1)with housing fast enough to matter it becomes much more attractive as an action.

Besides, the planets aren't going to stop existing after Voxx Primus is taken, we are still going to be able to terraform them though it will probably be quite fought over considering we will fill the already existing ones to the max so new planets to make sure our current ones aren't suffering from overpopulation after the revolution should be a pretty safe bet(because the alternative is trowing people on recently conquered planets when we reach Breskal).
 
Wow, Production Lines was way more powerful than I thought, Cooky might have thrown us a bone tyty. So many juicy 1 action choices now, having a Hymns upgrade or Song boosting Psytech behind Orrery might be huge to get into later.

Could we do a Free Action to honour Chyron? I'm thinking of how successful the Donation Drive to the Shipbuilders was. Something like a Victory Day week long holiday being set up, in honour of Chyron and to show citizen appreciation for Lamenters with parades, donations or tokens of remembrance, something like that.

[] Plan: A Little Bit of Every Prep
-[] [Military] Fill Out Sector Battle Group
--[] Minotaur (0/3)

-[] Terraform Nurn and Git
-[] Evacuation Fleets - (Ship Design Sub-Turn) (0/?)

This gets the only possible worthwhile Terraforming targets, it gets the Evacuation Fleets, and it's 1/3 on the SBG. Next turn 2 SBG and maybe something to aid the Infiltration.
This is the dream plan for me. We need to see what building the Evacuation Fleets will cost ASAP. I do think there is one more Terraform action that would work since its 2 for 1.

Nushar - (22B; ~150yr)/Ixcat - (16B; ~160yr) combines to 38 billion pop. for 1 action.

I'm doubtful the thread will vote for delayed pay off yet again though.

-[] Logistical Infantry-Grade Weapons Development (0/2)
-[] Logicstical Infantry-Grade Armor Development (0/2)
QM said these will count as 'additional effort' actions for Voxx but the double action cost is still tough when there is so much we want to take.

@HeroCooky
1. Since we took 2 'additional effort' actions for the infiltration, do we need to do the next one on Turn 810 or 830?
2. How has the Song Turn Their Eyes Away been performing in the hives?

You have a point but the stations also serve as long term investiment for All-X
Void Industry already hit X, those actions won't contribute to All-X. VI does push us to building bigger ships at XII though. Also QM said we can take VI from IX to X for 1 action since its recouping a loss, might be worth it.

We probably want the Arc Carronade for the Voxx Fight as our door-knocker against their stations, I could build one hell of a Heavy Artillery Cruiser around that.
 
QM, could we have done anything about this at all?
Nope, man was old and done. Chapter is running, experience handed down, and the naps were getting harder to wake up from with each new one.

So he slept one last time, dying in his sleep.

QM should we have asked Chyron about Librarians and Dreadnughts when we had they chance?
He had 0 idea about how the first operated beyond "Space Juju" and had negative 0 idea how the Dreadnought worked.
but Dreadnoughts are able to live for significantly longer
When they are expertly maintained. You have no idea how they function, and if the spirit is not willing, the flesh feeble, the work is done, and the time right...well.

There are worse ways to go than peaceful slumber in the grim dark future of the 42nd millennium.
GIVE ME STANDARDIZED AUTOLOADERS FOR 1 ACTION YOU DAMNABLE COOKIE!!!
You know what? I'm gonna make that take three Actions now, just for you! :drevil:

1. Between that, yes.
2. You haven't been found yet, have you? :p
 
On a side note, I finally figured out the remaining naming scheme for generations!

Primus for a new weight-class's prototype. No suffix for the first production model of a line.

Then we get Secundus for the first major refit, or the -S model. Tertius for the third generation (-T model), Quartus for the fourth generation (-Q model). But then I ran into a problem.

The next Latin Ordinal is Quintum, which is functionally identical when abbreviated, but then I had a brain blast while driving back home from my trip to town today.

Cheat

Therefore, the fifth generation model of a line will be the Quintum (-V model) by shifting into a Roman Numeral for the suffix there. Also nicknamed the "Victory" model, because realistically, by any 5th major iteration of a hull class, it should be in it's ultimate state.

It's finally finished, I figured out the whole set

(That being said, a hypothetical sixth model would be the X-model in this naming scheme, so I can say it's the XTREME, but that mostly exists for jokes and memes)

Should make a statue for him plate it in gold, going peacefully in the 42nd millennium is something everyone should want especially for a lamenter.
 
Amadeus 'Chyron' Chyropheles, Patron Saint of the defenders, or something to that note.
Patron Saint of Sacrifice maybe? Being a Space Marine is a huge sacrifice, plus he was entombed in a dreadnought if I'm not mistaken.

Though honestly I'm pretty sure he doesn't qualify since he didn't believe in the Star Child.

I don't have the skill or time to make a decent write in but maybe these bits are helpful to better writers. @Neablis @The Laurent interested?

[Free Action] To honour Chapter Master Chyron and the Lamenters, a decennial event across the Federation with 5 days of mourning and remembrance followed by 5 days of parades and celebration. Donations to worthy causes in their name, tokens of appreciation sent to them or burnt in effigy...
Not a Saint of the Star Child, honorary Father of the Lamenters?
 
[X] Plan Housing Industry and Military
-[X][General] Terraform
--[X] Git - (Target Biosphere: Megaflora) - (Maximum Population: 36 Billion) - (Terraformation Time: ~160 Years)
--[X] Nurn - (Target Biosphere: Fog Mountains) - (Maximum Population: 27 Billion) - (Terraformation Time: ~170 Years)
-[X][General] Research
--[X] Sophont Workforce Requirement Reduction Considerations
-[X][Military] Fill Out Sector Battle Group
--[X] Minotaur (0/3)

The Terraforming action is equivalent to 5 station building actions and with another terraforming action(Litra and Nushar, equivalent to 3) next turn brings the required station building actions down to 9.
The Research action hopefully gives another productivity boost and also adds research progress so both Novel and Experimental upgrade research can be done for one action later.
 
- [Classification: Sabotage/Assault/Engineering/Demolition/Ogryn/Kil'drabi]
I just realized, but Yeeni aren't mentioned here. Do they have any distinct advantages or are they pretty similar enough to humans?

If we really need an extra classification, there's always U for "Ultima"

-[X] [General] Research:
--[X] Sophont Workforce Requirement
Reduction Considerations

I'm not sure how big an effect the workforce reduction tech will have, but given how much the production increase helped I'm hopeful.

Ah, well that happens and yah once you lose your purpose and drive it is hard to keep pushing yourself and last longer, no longer needed, and done all you can. and its not a bad end when considering this is 40k, peaceful end similar to how we saw Teele die.

He had 0 idea about how the first operated beyond "Space Juju" and had negative 0 idea how the Dreadnought worked.
okay, so nothing lost there. I think we can start to find out about Dreadnaught after we Do MMI but how do we go about doing the Librarians or is that more a 'fumble around and keep trying in the dark' sort of thing?

Ah, yah, the Space Wolves still backing and enough parts and hands to maintain and repair them, our Lamenters... less so. and once again, Chyron had done a lot and seeing his chapter once more thriving and taught them everything he knows.

You know what? I'm gonna make that take three Actions now, just for you! :drevil:
I'm very tempted to continue the joke and go 'FOUR! take it or leave it' but I don't want to actually increase it and keeping it at two actions worth does make sense, just hell on our min-maxers in AP hell.

Huh, well I'll say to you good job on turning the randomness and short flight fixation of the thread to making a workable naming scheme for the ship refits and generations. I feel that's only been because of the tech we research and the Design Points we keep grinding up and getting where we needed that many. I don't doubt it will still happen considering the Plasma Cannons and us researching a Rotary version just a few turns after the Lamenters built their Grand Cruiser.

and indeed cheat, just like how the fucking Space Gothic became a thing, I'm almost half-convinced the Emperor just made High Gothic a thing for fun or something like cool thing he wanted to do. Malcodor rolling his eyes all the while and the Emps nudging him to take it seriously. and the its more additions and change made to latin or the like.
