Okay, simmer down lads and lasses. Just because I forget to put in the vote timer does not mean you can ignore the orange-highlighted moratorium timer. :V
 
@HeroCooky so what do you think of my suggestion on the faceshield?
Spyglass lore said:
Also @HeroCooky i think the faceshield rule needed to be changed 90% damage reduction feels a bit weak the bluntforce nose have 16 capital armour that means 160 points and with the and that can still be breached and for 25% of our ship's mass maybe let it have this explanation

With the invention of primitive armour the faceshield becomes much more resilient they not only reduced the damage from incoming fire they elimitate it entirely. An with the invention of standard armour just 3 years away the mass of our faceshield can be reduced.
faceshield: this quirk makes the ship becomes basiclly impenetrable on the front and can tank hundreds of multi megaton nukes

Also can the flak guns be used as an area denial weapon? Like for example if an aerospace fighter or even a dropship try to do a bombing run they will be destroyed by the density of flack or is it just specialized on missiles?

It is still a 90% reduction to damage from the front. You gotta get better merallurgy for better stats.

It acts like IRL flak. An aerospace fighter popping up on the side will get greeted with a face-full of flak guns.

Everyone that voted before the moratorium is finished should vote again later once it's open, else your votes wouldn't be counted. Also specify which Planet the FE Engine Plant one will be, but I guess it'll be Gunhallow. I think we need to pull the trigger on the KF-Drive now since I reckon we'll be able to put in more Actions to it afterwards (unless QM decides we have to play the looooong waiting game somehow). I really, really want the Military as well as the many Milestones (we need more APPPPPP) but I'm under the impression that by getting the KF-Drives up, and eventually JumpShips, up and running (we really need an AeroSpace Fighter design as well as situating some marines on board as well as defense, even with the JumpShip shouldn't be destroyed thingy going on, since I doubt a certain phone company would roll with it).

...speaking of. QM, do we have, or if not can we, research of communication thingy ala HPG? Might need to place down one each on the current planets...

...wait, speaking of, when's the tournament on Arcanum? o_o? Is it this turn/year?

Urgh, assuming we need to go there...

-[ ] Fusion Engine Plant (Arcanum)
--[ ] Bring factory tooling for the Primitive Mech Trooper as well to plop down at Arcanum?
-[ ] System Developments
--[ ] Arcanum
-[ ] National Military Framework

I'm assuming that the Tiny Fusion Engine Plant is the same rating used on the Trooper, so I figured it probably makes sense to bring tooling for said Mech Design too? That and it could replace the Crosscuts the Monks are using (same movement profile me thinks?). Also I think we promised them to fix the Crosscut Factory (though once again I might have missed it when skim reading. T_T) so yeah, not sure how that'll go that we bring in a new Factory to replace their Crosscuts... which has hands and can change stuff easily compared to having to wait for downtime to replace melee weaponries on the Crosscut.

Starting the National Military Framework too, though my issue with this is that we sent the Merc Spies to Aurigan Coalition so not sure how that'll work out once they return... aka, setup a Spy Agency Mercenary Board / HQ or something?

well based on this it doesn't really matter where we put our fusion plant, well apart from the political side but ehh. though now that i think about it. how about Planet 778? it doesn't really have anything going for it. plus the locals might understand that we're a better alternative especially when we bring quite literally more men to the planet.

Reason for this is apparently we don't have Mech Factories in Gunhallow, we just artisan bum rush the Trooper and Thor for our Merc Company. So, uh, yeah, we're yeeting this to Arcanum instead since they have an idea on making Mechs. That, and probably a good replacement to the Crosscut maybe? 30-tons and all, and having actual hands which making change weapons/equipment easy.

Sorry for jumping the gun earlier.

Don't really have any objections to any of the planets, and Gunhallow is our capital world. Briefly considered if a Fusion Engine Planet might have synergy on Sigar with repairing their Dune Fleets, but they do have the lowest population and we already know repairing is possible without them.

Do recall that you only have one Mech Factory that produces Mechs industrially, and that is on Arcanum. So if the Fusion Engines are put on Gunhallow, you will need FTL ships to ferry them from Gunhallow to Arcanum to be useful beyond case-by-case uses by way of Furina sprinkling them around.
 
[X] plan: all in
-[X] KF-Drive, KF-Drive, KF-DRIVE (all 3actions)
Begin creating the groundwork for JumpShip production.
(Requires 2 Actions. Stars the industry to create (Hybrid)JumpShips.
It will take ~40 years to produce 1 JumpShip per year...per Action put in.)
