You asked what I thought about the plan. I gave my commentary. So cool it with that. And I have my own variation of this plan too. Behold.
[X] Plan Heuristic (With Compromises)
[X] All Fleets and ships: be prepared for battle. That last Hive-destroyer chase confirmed, that the Hive are mobilising their dormant ships. (Free Action)
[X] Contact, and warn, the Awoken/Reef and Calais/Cassini Fleet and tell them of recent Hive mobilization around Jupiter. Suggest, just in case, they ramp up their defenses (Free Action)
[X] Ask the Awoken if they would like their pilot delivered back over to the Reef. Since her ship was crashed and she is apparently still out of it, it seems to be only means of getting her specialized care (Free Action)
[X] Move the Vilesworn Sword back to the Shard's vault to complete the purification. Check on it regularly to prevent any unpleasant surprises (Free Action)
[X] Gather up the former disciples of Aksor and see if they are actually useless or if the Archon can teach them and get more Eliksni qualified to commune with Servitors and possibly guide to Cult of the Great Machine (Free Action)
[X] Seek out suitable Hive targets to attack and plunder knowledge about them from with both of the free Ascetics. Samples of their technology would also be nice, but focus should be on repositories of knowledge for now. Both of the stealthed ships are to have escort of three Heavy Cruisers, 2 Transports, 2 Destroyers with Photon Cannons and 3 normal Destroyers, all with full complement of Skiffs that they can carry (as well as any Drone Fighters they can take with themselves). These escorts are to stay out of detection range, but they are to be called in as reinforcements on instant that either of the Ascetics is discovered, and unless they are facing massively numerically superior resistance they are to assault and loot the targets immediately if called in. Otherwise the mission will remain as scouting. Both strike forces will consist of the following: 20 Striders ; 20 Noble Walkers ; 800 Reaver Dregs ; 10 Eliksni Squires ; 400 Reaver Vandals ; 50 Noble Vandals ; 10 Eliksni Knights ; 50 Reaver Captains ; 2 Barons ; 1 Lord Engineer. (1 Action)
[X] Recycle all shanks and other fallen mechanical units we can get back into service. (Free Action)
Capricorn:
[X] Find the source of malicious code by any means necessary and purge it from our systems. If it turns out to be an AI, hold off to establish communication if possible. Otherwise it is to be quarantined completely the second it is possible and deleted down to last line of code. (2 Actions)
[X] Research: Recruitment and training centers. Centers where the more specialized orders of the House (Splicer, Iron guard, Kellsguard, Knightly Engineers, Shadows etc) can set up regular recruitment, and members of the House can nonlethally hone their combat skills and earn promotions. (1 Action)
[X] Research: Improved ship armor. Our ships have not lasted for long enough to defeat their numerically superior enemies in the past. Remedy that. (1 Action)
[X] Research: Space Stations. Our most important bases are on them. It would be good to learn on how to create our own, either in empty space or onto asteroids. (1 Action)
Proteus:
[X] Build 4 Heavy Plasma Cannons and 20 Medium Plasma Turrets to watch over the settlement and all operations. Have them manned and guarded at all times and prepare for assault against the settlement. (104 000 Spinmetal, 32 000 Helium Filament, 1 160 000 Glimmer)(2 Actions)
[X] Staff 10 Naval Yard Complexes with Reaver Dregs. They can be of use building the ships they may one day be crewing. (Free Action)
[X] Build 20 Destroyers (32 000 Spinmetal + 2400 Helium Filaments + 150 000 Glimmer + 2 Turns)(1 Action)
[X] Build 10 Network Nodes (100 000 Spinmetal + 500 000 Glimmer + 50 High Servitors) (1 Action)
Mars:
[X] Send the Guardian to see what happened to the scouting party of Iron Guards. If they are captured, he is to go in and get them out if possible: if he is attacked, he should call for reinforcements if the situation seems to warrant it. Also explain the sigils and colors of the largest Fallen houses to him, so he can tell us who the other Fallen on Mars are if he happens to run into them. (1 Action)
[X] Build 10 Medium Plasma Turrets around Lost Oasis and man them (12 000 Spinmetal + 8000 Helium Filaments + 100 000 Glimmer)(1 Action)
[X] Send another Frigate through the transmat with further reinforcements (50 iron guards, 300 reaver vandals, 20 noble captains, 100 Pikes, and 5 Elder Walkers)(Free Action)
[x] Build 1 C&C Complex, 100 000 Spinmetal + 1 000 Glimmer + 5 Pilot Servitor (1 Action)
February:
[X] Bring the 4 Engine units to February and see if they can be anchored onto the meteor safely enough to move the base without damaging it if possible. (Free Action)
Ishtar DRF:
[X] Research: Base-killer weapons. Design massively enlargened versions of usual Eliksni Arc turrets, and begin designing powerful enough versions to destroy ships or bases in single shots (meant for Flagship or possibly to be mounted on stations or asteroid bases)(1 Action)

Edit: I am perfectly willing to drop some research if it will help us find compromise by the way. All of those just seemed like good research topics to focus on, but if you can direct my attention to something URGENT we need to do, I am more than willing to alter my plan.
