Exactly. The best strategy based is to take high risk high reward actions simultaneously with low risk actions. The fusion core has the best reward for the lowest risk.

[X] Plan Enjou T65
So my numbers will be a little low as I am away from my computer and had to do these by hand.
1.7 bil thrones, 317 mil mat, 6.7 mil metal, 92.8 mil Promethium, 499k adv mat and 1.4k ex mat. I will do an upkeep total later once I am back at my computer

Anyways, as I've said I'd like some thoughts on what to do with Tranth's actions in my plan. Here's the layout of options I'm considering:
Current - High Risk, High Reward, bets on us finding an intact core. Gets Archeotech out of all but one Command Battleship
SLOT B - Year 1

- Y3: Expand Collegia Reconstructus
-- EXPEDITE YEAR 3
- Y5: Examine: Haywire Weaponry
SLOT C - Year 2
- Y2: Detailed Survey (Brute Command Battleship)
- Y4: Detailed Survey (Grav-Accelerator Command Battleship)
Alternative A - Still High Risk, High Reward. Moves away from surveys if we find a datacore, intact or damaged.

I'd go with alternative A. Finding and using the datacore is they key reason we are doing surveys of the super battleships. And we will have two years locked for the construction slot next turn so we have time if we have to do anything to get escots ready. I am going to take a look at our options for the backlog and get back to you
Edit: maybe switch out the Plasma flamer in favor of the Neutron laser. Otherwise options look good

Also if I read the collegia correct we currently have a +100 bonus before Tranth so collegia is at a flat +0 to stc for their own efforts. The upgrade will change that to +105 with a -80 so it will boost chances by 25%. That will put all but the bomber at a 5% chance for the collegia to figure them out
I like your format. I do have three concerns.
The first is that Reverse Engineering the Plasma Reactors is a two year action, not a one year action. And the Schematics is probably a 2 year action as well.
The second is that you seem to assume that Syr will be over her grief in on year. That is very unlikely, as I think we need at least two successes, and probably three to get over her grief.
The third is that you are using a personal attention on Expanding the Railways. That will lock up a personal action for 9 years. It would make more sense to switch that with Education Reform.
Yes, that's why the Naval Bomber is the only STC I put in my backlog.

See at this point I think arcotech is more useful as doing more of that may be what let's us expand the collegia to arcotech actions. Also we would only need +20 more in bonuses which could be gotten by a combo of further collegia upgrades and when we unlock the next tier of forge temples. Also we are going over a carrier so we may find better bombers or it could be in a data core
.........
Which is why it, along with arcotech, is in the backlog.
I really don't get it. You like the idea when Enjou proposes it, but dislike it when I present the same plan?
As soon as durin confirms I will update my plan for this. It won't require significant changes. @durin Can you confirm?
Well, I'm basing my choice of the escorts on the fact that the last Defense Cruisers action said that our facilities are now protected against pretty much anything. Meanwhile we have not been expanding our warp capable fleet, and we are severely low on escorts.
Additionally, durin has mentioned that if we get experience building escorts, we can dedicate a small shipyard to pumping them out regularly like we did the Merchant ships. That would allow us to begin a regular contribution to Imperial Trust escort production, while Vanaheim focuses on the capital ships.
And finally, we can almost certainly be ready to begin repairing DAoT ships next turn so I'd like our construction bays open for that.
Maybe. I know there have been previous times we suggested stuff without a sound out and really stepped in it. I don't see that you have a priority Diplomatic action to put in place of them though. If you did I would consider it. But it looks to me like you just sort of threw the placeholder "Improve Diplomatic Relations" at everything.
However, the improved Collegia will have a chance of completing it on their own. So I am hesitant to spend Tranth's limited actions on it. I think I'd rather just build more flying research stations.
Note that these are Defense Cruisers which means they are not Warp capable. The Escorts will be.
Okay, based on that I need to add one more item to the Backlog in case we find an intact datacore. Will do.

Herald of Disaster
When it comes to having Tranth himself work on STCs, I think it would be best to jut have him do the final STC that the Collegia won't be able to do even with the upgrade. Apparently it's a Naval Bomber, looking at the complete an STC list.
Chapter Six Canon Omakes: The Closing Curtain
*sobbing*
~~~
The Closing Curtain
~~~
There's a moment when Frederick wakes up, before the sun rises and calls in the day. In this moment he is amnesic, the facts of his existence laid bare without the shroud of sentiment for him to pick up and peruse for his liking, before laying them back in their place.
I am Frederick Rotbart, he remembers, his hand wandering to the other side of the bed, and she—
He lies there, reaching through an empty space, the memories falling like an avalanche. There are missing pieces: the soft heat settled in the mattress here, the counterweight of another body there, and the easing sigh of pleasant dreams.
He gets up. There's no point staying in bed now.
~~~
The Vanir build tall and open, the better to invite the stars into their home. Deep in the heart of the Vanaheim Palace, where the starlight glitters and casts the unlit rooms with galaxies, the kings meet and break bread, and speak of worldly matters. It is here where Frederick sits, to await the Governor's judgement.
"There are customs in place," says Olaf finally, "when the bodies cannot be returned for a funeral. I think they will serve well, here and now."
"She requested the pyre," says Frederick.
"I do not cast blame, Rotbart. But as much as she was a lady of Helheim, she was Vanir twice over. Vanaheim must remember its daughters and sons."
Frederick nods. The cup of his soul is empty, cracks and fractures draining all cares away. "What do you need?"
Olaf sighs. "In nuclear fire the body burns, and the spirit is set free to travel the warp and rest at the roots of Yggdrasill, where the grass is soft and the fruits plentiful, the water clean and the sun as gentle as feathers of down. So it has been, and so it will be. The only things a spirit may desire are what brought them joy in life, to tide them over until they are joined by their loved and lost."
~~~
Frederick sees Freyr speaking awkwardly with his niece. There is much of his sister in Syr, in her face and bearing, but to a lonesome twin, the similarities only cast light on the gaps. Though she expresses the Vanir phenotype, she was born and bred a child of Avernus, and such dyes cannot be washed away.
Syr breaks off from her uncle's conversation, to hug her father. "Dad," she says quietly, hiding her face in his shoulder. She's doing well.
Frederick returns the embrace. "Do you have anything you want to send to mother?"
She squeezes him. "I don't know."
"We'll figure something out."
Syr shakes her head. "No. I want to do it myself."
"Alright."
~~~
The Hand of Tyr enters solar orbit three days later. Frederick stands at the macrocannon, where the remembrance casket lies open. Olaf had placed within a simple tiara, fit for a child, joined by the stuffed toy Freyr washed and cleaned by hand. It is of a dolphin, whatever those are.
Syr tries the tiara on her head for a brief moment, before returning it. Beside it she places a bolt of silversilk dress cloth, and a small box of makeup. "She liked to be pretty, Dad," she says at his look. "You wouldn't understand."
"I appreciated her efforts anyway." Frederick places his offering, a full set of watercolours and a roll of canvas. He hesitates, then pulls out a small barrette, studded with azure butterflies and precious gems. "I saw it, and I thought she might like it."
Syr nods. "She can make it work."
Frederick smiles, and puts it in.
~~~
In his sleep he dreams of her sitting by the roots of the World Tree, picking flowers and golden apples. "Fred," she says, and in her hair butterflies flap their wings, taking off. "Come here. Tell me everything."
Frederick climbs the grassy knoll, tripping into her lap. She laughs, the sound like snowbells, and pulls his head to the pillow of her thighs. By his face he feels the thin coolness of silk, and beneath it the soft warmth of life.
They stay there, watching the sun, Freya gently combing through his hair like she has never seen it before.
"I miss you," says Fred. "Every day. Syr misses you even more."
"I'll talk with her."
"Thank you. I know I'm not good with that sort of thing. Jane's been taking care of her a lot."
"Hmph. Men." She giggles. "Syr used to dress up like her, you know?"
"I know. Nothing like hitting people with swords."
"And how's Amos? I hope he hasn't run the navy into the ground without me."
"He keeps missing. I understand that's the basis of flight."
"And Henry? I hope he's taken a break…"
It seems a year and a day passes in her embrace. Eventually Frederick asks, "Is this real? Or is it just a dream?"
Freya stops where she's knotting a ribbon into his crown. "What do you want it to be?"
"I don't know."
Freya smiles. "Just because it's a dream doesn't mean it's not real. And sometimes, dreams do come true. Case in point, I was the hottest thing to ever come into your life, but that still happened."
Frederick snickers. "That is true." He sighs, and reaches to touch her face. "I wish I could meet you again."
Freya leans into his hand, closing her eyes. "Why? Won't you remember me?"
"Of course I will!"
"Then I don't see why not."
"It's not that. It's just… When I die, I'm supposed to go to the Emperor's Palace. But if you're here, how will I meet you?"
"Hm. That is a tough one." She pats his head, and turns it to the clouded west, where the grassy plains met the leaf painted sky, and a great cliff resided behind rainbow fog, stretching from pole to pole. "See that behind the clouds? That's the trunk of Yggdrasill, and every branch that grows is a sun, and every leaf a planet, and so Yggdrasill reaches out to every world and sun and star in the galaxy. Every day, the messenger squirrel Ratatosk climbs its trunk to deliver messages from Nidhogg the wyrm to the nameless eagle that perches at the peak of Yggdrasill, and on that eagles eyes are perched Vedrfolnir the hawk."
And as she spoke, Frederick lay in a daze, the vast trunk of Yggdrasill approaching until he could perceive its bark and grain, count the rings and sprouts cut through its wood. And he saw the squirrel, climbing a distance of lightyears to reach the canopy, where upon the leading branch was perched an eagle of golden feathers, and upon that eagle was perched a hawk, and the eagle heard the message from the gnawing worm and sent back his reply to be carried by the squirrel all the way down, down, down into the swirling darkness beneath Yggdrasill's roots where the gnawing wyrm spat venom and bile with gnashing, eight starred teeth, and cursed the eagle, and the squirrel bore the message and ran all the way up, up, up the tree of Yggdrasill…
Frederick blinks. "Okay."
Freya sighs. "Silly. Where an eagle ranges is the kingdom it rules. Who else has an eagle, and rules a galaxy?"
Frederick blinks again. "Oh. I shouldn't have doubted you."
"Of course not!"
~~~
Frederick wakes, and in the dawn before the day, the world is quiet and dark. The dream slips away, the details fading like running watercolours. But two things remain: the golden eagle perched upon the peak of the galactic tree, and Freya complimenting his taste in accessories.
He touches his face and finds a smile, before sitting up. There's work to be done, and he can't stay in bed all day.
~~~
AN: Ever do the favoured of the Emperor find solace in their duty.

I was responding specifically to the Naval bombers
Ah, got you now.
Well, the reason I picked the items I did was because I figured if we find an intact datacore we will be doing these before the Council meeting, so I wanted to pick something that Asgard, Vanaheim, and Midgard would each like. Always nice to show up with the aura of goodies.
So I picked the Knight Forlorn (Asgard), Naval Bomber (Vanaheim), and Spider Mines (beloved by Ground Pounders everywhere).
I'll see about posting a more detailed plan comparison later, but since the differences on the Explorator Mechanicus actions seems the primary thing of interest I will post a quick look at those first:
So comparing the differences in Enjou's current plan to my plan.
Enjou's Plan: Completes Hunter and Brute Command Battleship surveys, starts on Grav-Accelerator survey. Collegia completes year 69.
My Plan: Completes Collegia on year 68. If we don't find a datacore, will reverse engineer Plasma Reactors and get the Schematics designed so we can repair Escort Destroyers next turn. If we do find a datacore, will research arcotech and STCs, picked for usefulness to Vanaheim and Asgard. I am open to adjusting these if there is a lot of desire to do so. (So far only VoidStalker has really commented). For example I could replace these items with Command Battleship surveys.
So comparing the differences in Enjou's Alternate A plan to my plan.
Enjou's Plan: Completes Hunter Command Battleship surveys. If datacore not found, completes Brute Command Battleship aurvey, and starts on Grav-Accelerator survey. Collegia completes year 69. If datacore is found researches a bunch of arcotech.
My Plan: Completes Collegia on year 68. If we don't find a datacore, will reverse engineer Plasma Reactors and get the Schematics designed so we can repair Escort Destroyers next turn. If we do find a datacore, will research arcotech and STCs, picked for usefulness to Vanaheim and Asgard. I am open to adjusting these if there is a lot of desire to do so. (So far only VoidStalker has really commented). For example I could replace these items with Command Battleship surveys.
So comparing the differences in Enjou's Alternate B plan to my plan. (This is the closest to my plan)
Enjou's Plan: Completes Hunter Command Battleship surveys, starts on Grav-Accelerator survey. Collegia completes year 69. If we don't find a datacore, will reverse engineer Plasma Reactors and get the Schematics designed so we can repair Escort Destroyers sometime in the middle of next turn (since he waits to see if the Hunter survey gets an intact datacore). If we do find a datacore, will research arcotech. Enjou is open to adjusting the backlog to player preferences.
My Plan: Completes Collegia on year 68. If we don't find a datacore, will reverse engineer Plasma Reactors and get the Schematics designed so we can repair Escort Destroyers next turn. If we do find a datacore, will research arcotech and STCs, picked for usefulness to Vanaheim and Asgard. I am open to adjusting these if there is desire to do so. (So far only VoidStalker has really commented).
So really the only main differences are that Enjou completes a survey of the Hunter Command Battleship and is ready to begin repair of Escort Destroyers by the middle of next turn at the latest.
While I would complete the Collegia a year early, and be ready to begin repair of Escort Destroyers by the start of next turn at the latest.
This difference in timing makes sense because my Void Construction slot will be open at the start of next turn, while Enjou's will be open in the middle of next turn.
Of course, that's only if Enjou chooses Alternate B, and so far most people have been asking for Alternate A instead. His current and Alternate A plans will only allow DAoT ship repair if we locate an intact datacore.
@durin Can you confirm that there is an intact datacore somewhere? Or is it possible that there is no intact datacore?
EDIT: Miscounted the years on one point, Enjou can get Haywirre weaponry. Fix comparisons to reflect this correction.

This difference in timing makes sense because my Void Construction slot will be open at the start of next turn, while Enjou's will be open in the middle of next turn.
Of course, that's only if Enjou chooses Alternate B, and so far most people have been asking for Alternate A instead. His current and Alternate A plans will only allow DAoT ship repair if we locate an intact datacore.
@durin Can you confirm that there is an intact datacore somewhere? Or is it possible that there is no intact datacore?
EDIT: Miscounted the years on one point, Enjou can get Haywirre weaponry. Fix comparisons to reflect this correction.

We have to do this.
We have to do this.
Yes. Everyone that has posted a plan so far is doing this.
Also, we are now voting by plans, which means this vote will not be counted.

Between those alternatives, I would keep the current course of action, since durin confimed that at least one datacore was in the command ships...

We should think about introducing a Trust-wide celebration date to infuse a greater sense of unity. Most will have carried over from the Imperium of course, but I feel that something specific to the Trust itself will be very helpful.
EDIT: Huh, the Local Worlds index says that we haven't investigated Alfheim yet.
