Not doing it frees up those actions now. Which is better.
JH is down for at least this week whether we repair her or not. Possibly for much longer.
Probably four weeks, unless we get lucky with more recovery rolls. Again, repairing both Jaegers to top condition is my preference and it could serve as a nice symbol for morale. You can still propose to leave it for later and I might even vote for a plan like that, if I think it's better than the alternatives.

On the subject of research and actions, what research projects do we have to use Actions on?

Breachgate: We have two prereqs before finishing this, increases stability and figuring out a Receiver for the gate.

Breach Storage: We have four prerequisites: stabilizing the bubble, a mobile entry point for the items to enter and leave the bubble, greater energy efficiency and a way to link the entry/exit point and the bubble over a distance. Breachgate Research will make this easier, so there's little reason to rush this before finishing that up.

Magical Magic: I still think we're getting ahead of ourselves by trying to make a Wizard Academy before we even have the tech tree unlocked, but it's progressing and we might have it in two or three weeks at most unless we get really unlucky.

Barrier Shield Unit: practically done, and we voted to get a Superheavy version last turn.

Jaeger Upgrades: Stat-wise, Tacit only has one point left before reaching the cap. That's two actions to increase the HtH to five. Jagdhund has three points left, but she's down for now, so no need to rush just yet.

Cost-Effective Jaeger Reactors: The Stellarator is almost as cheap as it gets, and there's the idea of getting a Mark IV/V reactor that works like the Mark I/II Reactors. That's one action a turn at most.

Superheavy Mini-Mecha: We talk about them from time to time but they're not a priority at all, at least for now.

Hypercompact reactors: We need a way to power all the nice toys we want without making every unit a Superheavy. This is the best answer to that.

Ignoring the Not-Gundams and the Breach Storage, that's six projects. We have ten actions, plus two free J-Research and Breach Research actions. We'd still have actions to spare if we used one action for each of these projects and repaired both Jaegers.

There's little reason not to do that now. We have lots of things to repair, but we aren't exactly starved for actions here.

I'll revise the action. Honestly the AKML research was for the PV Jaeger. *shrugs* We can swap things around.
Again, I was trying to be nice to Jawa and take his plan as best as I could before playing around with it.

So....
-Swap Frag Blades for....which Breachgate action (SAFE MODE) would it be we need?
-AKML for ACTUAL MAGIC?
Unless we get a crapload of resources or a free Mark III Frame, we're rather far away from a new Jaeger, so there's no reason to research that just yet.

And yeah, that sounds good to me. The other thing we need to research to finish the Breachgates is the receiver, by the way.

@Highwind how does this look?

That's clearly why Sturm's having issues getting the funding for that. Should've phrased it as something more like a "Dedicated department for the pursual of highly experimental research."

Actually, there's a lot of issues why Sturm's having a hard time: other scientists complaining how ridiculous his team's goal is, shaky morale within the team, time and resource constraints, etc. Plus, he's kinda riding the line between "eccentric" and "kinda bonkers", much like Tesla did.

Obviously, because of this, if you succeed, it won't actually be called "magic lab" or anything like that.

Making a few edits, mostly taking what's being voted on now with a few suggested changes for my own version of the plan...

[X] Plan Six Million Dollar Jaeger (We Can Rebuild Her...) MK II Version
-[X] Begin cleanup operations in full force (-1700 Resources) (Free Action)
-[X] Research Jaeger Supercell/Breach-based Power Reactor capable of powering Mk IV and Mk V Jaegers (Free Jaeger Research 1)
-[X] Research Tacit Ronin HtH Upgrade*20 (Free Jaeger Research 2)

-[X] Research Wizards Academy
-[X] Research Environmental Recovery - Research a means to improve the environment and undo the damage caused by the Kaiju Blue.
-[X] Research Hyper/Super-Compact Microreactor Power Source
-[X] Research Armadillo-Class Mobile Shield Generator (Continue researching a conventional-scale military support unit designed exclusively for the purpose of generating and projecting a defensive barrier shield.)

-[X] Jagdhund Repair, Power Core Repair, and Install Chest Armor (-3150 Resources) (We already have Supercomposite Armor plates to spare)
-[X] Jagdhund Repair and Decontamination and install Faraday Frame (-200 Resources)

44740-8700-1200=34840 Resources left over.

Made four changes:
1) I switch over the Hellhound Squadron for another Banshee Squadron (See below)
2) I dropped the dedicated Magic research (the one apart from researching the Wizards Academy) and put in an action related to the Environment. Wizards Academy will give us plenty of actions to spend on making magic an actual thing in the long run, probably with a bonus to boot, but with the hit we've taken to the environment from the Kaiju Blue thus far, and the likely negatives we'll take overall if it gets hit anymore (which, as has been prove here, may be something that is completely out of our control), I think that addressing the deteriorating environmental situations is something we need to address ASAP.
3) Made a relatively minor change to the wording of the Breach Receptor research.
4) I switch around the nature of our Faraday frame construction and repair. First, given the number of resources we have right now, I think it prudent to spend and extra 2k to build an extra Faraday frame so that, in the future, we have an extra one in storage. Think of it as spending 2k now as insurance against spending a future action replacing any that might get broken in the future.


Poor Noisy Boy. Got the short end of the stick, getting picked up by a pilot who was going through a bad slump like that.

Why Hellhounds? There is no area where a Hellhound is better than a Banshee.

When I originally put it down, I was thinking maybe an extra squadron for the bonus missile capacity, but thinking about it that way, yeah, it's probably better just to go with an extra Banshee squadron and just research extra missile capacity for them in the long run.

Not doing it frees up those actions now. Which is better.
JH is down for at least this week whether we repair her or not. Possibly for much longer.

The repair actions have to be done sooner or later. There's no reason not to get them done now so we have them out of the way and taken care of. We make argument for putting it off now, we open the door to continuing to put it off in the name of other things and then don't get around to it until a turn or two after we want it already done.

I don't want to open the door to that kind of risk.
