Most likely we will be destroying it after looting it for everything it is worth. It can not be drag through the warp so it has to be destroyed. Unless we get ridiculous lucky and somehow get control of the defenses.
It's preferable, but not strictly essential. I'd rather not have Scott do busywork to make it happen, though. A three year delay is acceptable.

The probkem is not the total population (Not an issue for a long time), but the amount of psykers that need to be taught.

I only really make plans when I have gripes about who we spend time with, TBH.I'm not griping about making plans. I do enjoy it, otherwise I wouldn't do it. There are aspects that can be annoying every now and then, but those are outweighed by other factors.
Besides, you're just saying this because you want your plans to win.

@Red Bovine @Shard ok, that is semi-reasonable. Personally though, if population is not the issue then building a new city right now is premature since the psyker population isn't high enough to warrant the split, especially not when we are sending a chunk of our extraneous Sanctionites to Vanaheim. Depending how the background mechanics work, we could be taking a drop in our Psyker training because Psykers that would otherwise be teaching are instead building a new city.
I am just being... I don't know the word. Not quite at Devil's Advocate, but still making sure ya peeps have thought through your plans rather than just grabbing what sounds good to you without thought to anything else. Like the time some peeps made plans that we literally could not afford because they did not bother with our resource gross income/savings/whatever (I don't economics, what does math even mean!? SCP-1313 SOLVE FOR BEAR! this is proper math correct?) So just making sure you guys are choosing a thing because it needs to be done soonish, rather than SHINY!
@Nurgle A single new Forge Hive would have negligible effect on the growth towards a Huge Mechanicas Hive, while both in the short term AND long term would help with the growth of our AM/EM production. A second new Forge Hive would be noticeable by slowing it by maybe 5%, but that would be acceptable as it would be insufficient to affect what turn we unlock the new option at. Now a third new Forge Hive would go past that and actually slow the unlock by 1 or more turns, and as such I would preferably not to vote for a third Forge Hive until after we upgrade an older one to Huge status. This, of course, is assuming I have intuited the situation correctly. ANd we as a player group have been hit-or-miss with our intuition, so take everything being said with a 10 lb. block of Pink Salt stolen from my mom's horse (because a grain is too little when dealing with GrimDark, that's how you get the New Devourer).

We are only sending a very small number of our trained psykers to help found the new branch in Vanaheim. Founding a new city is also critical due to the increasing amount of psykers being born that keeps going up. Doing it before it can be an issue is just practical.
On another note the sooner we get that new branch up the faster we will get a another planet that can contribute psykers in signifacnt numbers. It's also been a bit of an issue for them for a while anyway and helping improve psyker image in a consertative world may be good ammunition for their progressives. We can also expect it to take 50 to 100 years to set the branch up so setting up as soon as possible is pretty critical since psykers are a great resource.

One comment on the plan, Enjou.
Other than that, basically optimal for me.
This should be Double-Down'ed instead of Investigate Relationship, to maximize the probability of a critical.
If you still want to DD this, move it to Y5 and DD it.
Other than that, basically optimal for me.

So a crazy idea that popped into my head.
Psi-Mine.
Basically we design a Stealth Mine, but instead of a payload, we put in a Rune of Fire with a microwarpdrive. When the enemy comes, move the mine into the Immaterium and watch the local immaterium become fire. This is impractical in a lot of ways, because I suspect the only way to really make this work is to have the mine mostly finished, and only inscribe and charge the rune at the destination, and likely requires continual maintanence from a psyker (AKA not gonna maintain it), and also needs some serious highgrade divination to make sure it hits, only viable a certain distance from the colony...
...But basically if we can get all the factors together, it could be another part of our responce to Turoq, since, ah, attacking forces are all vulnerable to an Immaterium Inferno, aren't they?
(If we don't want to build a mine, a suicide stealth ship would also work.)

1. no
for the expedition, it is automatic
1. mostly aggressively ignoring each other, though they do warn the other empire if they are moving against an Ork presence in the other empires region and accept an observer
2. Saul Agemman
3. it did not
4. both
5. yes
6. no
7. you can suggest naval componants (including attack craft). if you do calssify them as either normal (no better then most of what you ahve), advanced (significantly better then what you have with a drawback, often cost) or experimental (massively better wtih major drawbacks such as cost, volatility, unreliability ect)
1. she does not, she does share genes with Niflheimers though. I was waiting for someone to consider a genetic reason

Maybe we can study Blank Bears and introduce some genes into our own population.

more something that someone who has the right genes to be both a psyker and a Pariah can use

That has to be insanely rare, given Pariah-Psyker interactions.

one in several trillion, it also greatly reduces the pykers power, if Aria did not have the Blank genes she would be alpha not Delta

Normal
Star Lance Las Lance: A common lance in the DAoT the Star Lance does not do increased damage compared to the designs recovered from the ship graveyard, instead it has highly advanced focusing crystals letting it fire constantly. Against a slow moving opponent this is quite deadly as it lets it do constant damage and wear away void shielding quickly, however whether this is worth it compared to more immediate up front damage is questionable.
Advanced
Refactor Shielding: Supplement to Reflex Shields, bends light around a ship making it nearly invisible visually, increases cost as heat sinks need to be introduced into the ship to deal with excess heat.
Grungir class Knight: An improvement on the Knight Fallorn, this class improves upon the Knight in almost every way save cost which is significantly higher. Very unlikely to see deployment beyond the Trust's most elite void knights.
Annihilation Reactor: Seemingly one of the last designs the ship yard completed was a reactor that powers itself via the application of anti matter. Featuring performance that surpasses the even the Hyper Plasma reactor by multiple orders of magnitude, the design appears to have been necessary to power the enormous bulk of the Deus Class and other supermassive power intensive systems being developed here. The design comes with an incredible amount of fail safes and other devices to reduce its danger to a minimum, although it is still highly dangerous should it be damaged as well as expensive.
Annihilation Shells: Designed for use with Macro Cannons these shells use anti matter in small amounts to vastly increase damage. However they not only reduce the range of the ship they are used with they also make the ship much more vulnerable as if one shell is detonated prematurely within a ship the entire ship could be destroyed easily.
Grav abyss Nova Shell: Created from Helheim gravetics data the Abyss shell when detonated creates a brief, but strong pull towards itself, disrupting maneuvers and causing enemy formations to cluster. Expensive.
Tachyon based sensors: Extremely advanced sensors designed for use on capital ships, expensive and likely require a man of stone to use to their full effect.
Star Citadel: Likely designed in concert with the Deus, this massive station out weighs the Ramilies in every category and has the fire power to match, but as the Trust currently cannot build an upgraded Rammilies this will be out of reach for a very long time.
Experimental
The Grand Cannon: The idea of the Nova cannon taken to the next level. Designed for use exclusively with a Dreadnaught class ship at a minimum and probably intended for the Deus class, the Cannon fires shells of massive size and can scatter entire formations with a single shot. Drawbacks: Highly inaccurate, can damage the ship's internal structure if fired too often, usually not a problem it takes an age to reload.
Mass Reduction Field: A highly experimental system designed to reduce the actual mass of a ship to increase its speed significantly (likely intended to increase the speed of the Deus). Incredibly complex when properly installed it would theoretically let a ship move at speeds reminiscent of a ship one class smaller, so an escort would move like a destroyer vastly increasing their speed, however the power requirements, complexity of the system meant that it was never advanced beyond grand cruiser scale. The field also was incomplete with there being a chance that part of the ship will randomly return to normal mass, which could destroy the entire vessel.
Ship Scale Neutron Guns: Complex with an enormous power draw, these designs were prototypes intended for use with an annihilation reactor.
Shooting Star Fighter: An experimental fighter that was assuredly used as a test bed for every and all inventions the DAoT scientists could imagine. As a result it is an over engineered nightmare, that has hundreds of faults that sometimes interact in unique ways to produce brand new ways of killing its pilot, but when on the off chance it works it can turn the tide of battles on its own.
@Durin
Any that you like?
Nilfar beat us too that I fear and I don't think we want to
A. Loose our psycic advances
B. Make us seem even more creepy.
Probably for the best for her then, since she'd likely have gone insane/been possessed by chaos/dead, though I think people considered the blank idea at the time.
Still it continues the idea introduced by Black Spear, that psyic and blank entities can combine to create something more lethal

Why though? Especially after reading that stuff from Priests of Mars and knowing that 40k humans can be bullshit megasmart.
Inertia, not mass. Mass reduction removes pieces from the ship. Inertia reduction is what you want for making a ship faster in this way.
He's saying that your ideas are similar or the same as his ideas.

Why not try to divine a way to calm the men of stone down or at least recapture it( the ai is probably the only witness that can shed light on whats going on on Rokslide left), for reasons such as continuationof its security duties,
Get information of whatever records it has on history and what happened to the ship, ammunition for the progressives that its ok to make more men of stone.

Da Oooniverse Class Mass Conveyor : Supposedly reverse engineered from Krork vessels, the nearly 36 kilometres long ship can singlehandedly supply and support war citadels and entire fleets. Its vast cavernous holds can transport billions of men and material.
However building one in a significant undertaking and its speed is barely above the Citadels and Starforts it was built to resupply.
Yeah I suck at names.
