But he'd done his homework about increasing the strength of the hull to ensure it could adapt to it - and he'd actually come up with a rather elegant solution to sliding in additional armor plates, with the option for the odd zirvitium patch on critical systems.

Here's my plan, it shares a lot of similarities to theguynamedwafer's plan (apart form the Science portion) but I will explain my thoughts and where do those plans differ.
DEFENSE:
This part is the same as theguynamedwafer.
We recon both Sheol and the Westphalians and liaison with all 4 of our allied SR groups. Recon on the Westphalian seems important to me to better understand the Westphalian supply route while Ocular is spying on them. We know that Sheol is sending infiltrators; so trying to pinpoint where he is operating seem like a good idea. The logic behind letting the Free Brothers free for a turn is the fact that we know they intend to attack the Enclave so we already know their target but I could be persuaded that being more on the ball on this is important.
All three original SR teams want to talk with us and Ground Pound is there so we can see what collaboration stuff we can do.
ENGINEERING:
This part is the mostly the same as theguynamedwafer except a couple of points.
1) My plan OK the creation of our own Drones.
2) In the combination for the Perseus I only wrote Sledder because I am under the impression that we can only choose one combination form. Also the TMU and the Seeker were noted to not add much to it so I'd rather wait and see what Katarina does with the Saddle.
For the rest, The Duo researches the Westphalian Configuration to see if we can get loot cool stuff from their effort; the Build Team choice for the new Pegsus ship I also preferred Defense over Speed or a Melee weapon for a Dropship (though I'm not wedded to the option). For Jiro I obviously choose the BREASTO FIRE option, Support Module Delivery seems like a more useful option than the one used strike craft. For Lana we can dust off the neglected Pilebunker research and implement it now that we have the K-Fang; the Sledders part is the most problematic I feel since we either use it as a power source, a weapon pack or try basic configuration that we are warned doesn't seem that useful. I went with the power augmentation (since it dovetails with the new Finisher the plan chooses to research); but I'm open to hearing arguments otherwise.
SCIENCE:
This is where my plan heavily defers from theguynamedwafer.
First Carlson, I don't think that the Raw Projection stuff is currently not viable because all our research up to this point showed how weak the ESP signals are and that we need the MMI to boost them. I'd also rather finish and implement the Channeling stuff that we started so long ago. I also moved K-Lung to him since Zulu is our Xeno-technology expert rather than Kaiju expert.
Secondly Max, While I agree with theguynamedwafer about testing how the C-Crystals interact with AI; Zulu got can continue his work on the Dispersion Tech while I have Max focus on the last piece of Regency's tech we haven't look- The Empathic Booster; I think that along the Channeling that only lasts for a split second and the heightened emotions of the pilots it will synergize to create an effect far more powerful than only researching the Channeling stuff (also, maybe in the future it will open a path to the actual projection capabilities when combined with the C-Crystals).
Thirdly Ivana, same as theguynamedwafer. They seems like good options so why mess with a good thing? Ivanna sees what can we use the Leg for robotic muscle and dust the old K-class frag grenade idea.
Fourthly Zulu, as I noted beforehand Zulu isn't a Kaiju expert so I set him to continue his research into the Dispersion technology.
Lastly Mary, I choose the let Mary continue her thing rather than broaden her scope to laser shotguns, and rather then use the Faedium as a grenade I'd rather see if it combos with the C-Crystals.
SPECIAL:
For Katarina while it does the same work on the Saddle, I changed the Petrawing work to see if it combos with our existing technology or with the hypothetical Saddle configuration.
