Did we not get any increase to relations from the debt reduction?

Should these be in per year, or per turn?

Would say we go full out buying from Vanaheim.

5x Helheim Patten Fast Mass Conveyor (10,440 Cr)
40x Helheim Patten Defence Cruiser (48,560 Cr)
1000x Defence Monitor (54,500)

(113,300 Cr)

We gonna need all transport later. (colonies/trade/etc.)
Should sign trade deal with Vanaheim on 40x Helheim Patten Fast Mass Conveyor.

Then fill Helheim mass Conveyor with material. Further stockpiling our reserves.
We should aim toward having minium 50 years of reserves In every field. (Food/Metal/etc.)

But I would want 80 years of reserves. As safe-backup plan incase of warpstorm isolate us.

I don't really like trade turns - Could there be a simplification, whereby we could use credits with one planet as credits to another planet, or something? It's like having 9 currency systems, the way we are now.

I'd prefer we be able to just trade with the Imperial Trust as a whole instead of having 8 separate trade agreements.

You know, it's just been 500~400 turns since the daemonic incursion. I wonder what the odds are we'll get another one before we get back to Avernus.

Maybe on page 2222?

@durin

Do you have anything special prepared for page 2222? Just wondering.

(And also post 55555)

@durin For trade, or even outside of it, would it be possible for us to help equip Midgard's military with more advance equipment if they help cover the cost? Like an arms contract or something?
 
Anyway, I don't really like the current trade system. I'd prefer if trading was done with the Imperial Trust as a whole (especially if the trust gets bigger due to resource colonies and whatnot), not with 8 other individual planets. It would make writing up trading much simplere and easier.
How do you figure that number?
I dinnae know durin's encounter tables, so I can't give reasonable odds, or even apply statistics*. Though strictly speaking daemonic incursion started was on page 1553, ended in Page 1614 and it's page 2054 now.

Assuming he rolls 3d100 to decide, tho, then -
Triple-identical result (Ex: 1,1,1; 55,55,55) - 0.01% - Will probably have very interesting results.

Not sure about the others.

*I could, but it'd be.. inaccurate. Really inaccurate. And misleading. Sample Size 1 is unhelpful.
 
For 10 billion people?

Doubt it the upfront AM cost must be exuberant, never mind the maintenance bill per year even if they suffer less wear and tear due to not being in constant use.

Svartfalhiem I could see doing it, but only if they devoted they're entire production too it.
Obviously we couldn't do their entire military right away, but over the course of 50~100 years? And the AM cost would be at least partially covered by them I imagine.
 
Ok we have an annual deficit of -601,721 AM and -5,431 EM, so lets at least get double that in trade. Ideally at least one million more AM and 10k more EM than that. This plan goes to the max debt with each planet for max AM/EM right now, except Vanaheim and aiming to cut the debt there by as much as we can. Metalwise trying to ship 200 cargo worth right to Vanaheim and some lesser amounts to Svartalfheim and Niflheim and importing enough to keep us not too much in the red. Midgard is getting a bit of trade from us to keep them happy some.


Getting a total income of 10,869 EM and 2,798,279 AM, and -413,735,110 Metal which is not too shabby.


This can best be regarded as an investment towards fastest upteching of our forces and repaying our debted allies through the expanded resources of our lunar hives.

Regardless it does look like we will need to go deep into debt to get EM positive.

I'm not really sure we should be selling so much metal to Vanaheim - we only sold 500,000,000 last time, and trading ourself back into a net shortage doesn't seem to be a good idea. I know we're planning on increasing our capacity by expanding our mines, but we're going to have spending that we'll have to do between now and then that might be metal heavy.

I want to make my own plan, but I'm a bit busy at the moment so it won't be until later today.

The effect of the metal discount on Vanaheim politics is certain to vary based on volume of trade.

Obviously we have to sell Metal to Vanaheim - perhaps we should have given a discount on Thrones as well.

I'm thinking we should buy all the ships we can from Vanaheim, upkeep pending.

That doesn't mean we should sell ourselves into a shortage. We can double the amount we'd have sold last year and still have a net positive. Or we could even sell 1.25 billion with the proposed deal there and still have a net positive.
