Who said they could do it without compromising their other fronts? I could very easily imagine a situation where they might allow losses on other fronts in order to retake their literal primary recruiting world. This is not something we should be gambling on.
Okay so I read the WOG on that and...okay so we should still absolutely do it then to get the Academia up and running faster. It looks like, over time, it will become research actions so...might as well get cooking on that one.
Generally speaking 50% is dependent? Because 1.5 isn't a thing we did with SBGs but there were multitudes. Like it works there but the last time we had a 50% it gave us two actions(dev actions). So...hard to say? It can either reduce the tech(which is hard to do with research) or it gives us two actions for the price of one(which is how I am interpreting it)
I definitely feel like I've gotten a thicker skin arguing here recently, especially against The Laurent. They do seem to assume the worst of whoever disagrees. But that being said, it's always about whatever base assumption we differ on. Here I think it's how many SBGs we need to make per turn. I think that number is 1 or so, they think it's 2ish. I think?
I think the thing we're worried about is that the 3 action lump is pretty useless spread out over the 6 options, and we need to invest 4 more actions anyway to get what we need.
6 options is a lot of spread yeah. Like off the top of my head we got the Orrey, the sabers(1 action), the lance(more than 2) and something else(just 2). Meaning that a random three could give us Orrey, sabres and lance or could give us Lance, 2 Orrey...which is...a lot rougher
And like you said, we just took not only their biggest recruiting world but their primary source of Psykers which allows them to make something as bullshit as the Rhyssa Destroyers. I count 3 SBGs in Breskal that currently look like they're in reserve. It is reasonable to assume that once word reaches that they're losing Voxx Primus they're all going to beeline back towards us, and they're most likely going to have their own Rhyssa Destroyers and every Light Cruiser will likely have a Null Net. And even if they can't break into Voxx Primus, all they need to really fuck us over is just good Voxx Secundus then most of the people we're trying to save will starve to death so we need to at least hold the line there. And we all saw what their rolls are like, and this was us cheating like motherfuckers.
Our Jolly Economic Cooperation also said it was 50% and that effectively gave us double the actions for Infra development, so I think it will be the same here where one action for Psytech would actually be 2.
I think Civ XV is like gone. We are not gonna be getting that. The rest is...possible. Also is it 3 actions from like right this second? Or 3 actions whenever we feel it necessary? Because Jolly didn't specify. This one say "for three turns". Is it concurrent or not?
Probably for any ship we have that we want to go really fast. They are outspending us. This is no bueno. Also we are getting like 6 techs next turn and I expect it to be fomo before we do ship design.
The Shields, yes, not sure about the Lance. It's neat, but a part of me wants to bite the bullet and finally do the fucking Orrery, or have our Choirs be a mini-boss squad armed with magic laser swords.
Psytech not being Research is actually painful lol. Our somewhat insane 1.4 points for one action is very good for this...sadly it is a different category and I blame Van Zandt
