Nah, that would result in even more new voting members than Surt's proposal. To me the Enjous proposal of "Grant the colonies one High Council member now, with the High Council being required to vote on whether to add more later" sounds good, Trust isn't looking to undertake any major expansions any time soon anyway.
And here I was thinking in terms of techno-progressivism and techno-conservatism, not xeno-relations. We might want to be a little more clear on what we mean by progressive and conservative.
Generally conservatism means closer to Imperial norms, progressivism means further away from Imperial norms, probably closer to DAoT ways of thinking.
If that's true, I'm totally okay with it.
Right now? Absolutely not.
Woah, easy there, no need to give other worlds such a drastic advantage just to placate the provinces. Seems counter-productive. Maybe if the only change is a restriction in who can immigrate, and those colonies are otherwise just as independent, then we can consider it. But it might start people down the road of trying to control their "own colonies".
Possible logistic issue. Give them a guarantee that they can do so eventually sounds fine, but we already plan that, don't we? Not much of an offer in that case.
And by full member, you mean what? And still only one seat per 25 "full members", right?
Yes, but that can mean any number of things, "norm" is a pretty broad word. People can easily be techno-progressive and xeno-conservative, and that's not getting into all the other ways one can differ from Imperial "norms", or the other directions to differ from those besides DAoT-ward.
And this artificially limits how much we can effectively colonise. Christ. I guess that's just how it is.
Combined they already have 2nd biggest army in the Trust (after Midgard) and bigger economy than at least 3 (possibly 4) Core Worlds.
Techno progressive has nothing to do with the main stream trust, it's an admech thing mainly.
Ehhh, I'd reduce it by another one or two, as I don't want to have any worlds within 20 light years of Valinor (the Demon world.)
Uhm, their combined economy is about two times smaller than Alfheim's (compared by economy strength in kCredits) . They've got a good number of soldiers but while it's second biggest if combined it's not the second strongest and it's mostly garrison forces. Also no navy to speak of.
Ho boy. That brings up a question. Because orks are one thing, but Valinor is a bunch human heretics.
We could also just give them the ork treatment, blast their leadership and infrastructure until they give up trying to rebuild, or just loose the capability to do so, leaving nothing but splintered, starving wastelands.
Genocide the fuck out of them no mercy for chaos worshipping bastards.
Doesn't work I'm afraid, the problem with demon worlds is that
The Trolls have offered to lend us a hand against chaos, so we could probably use them as auxiliaries when we go for it.
The worst case scenario is Avernite life getting corrupted without PM's protection.
Shrugs.
