So, was thinking a bit about what we want to do next turn outside of the Lin/Ridcully actions that tend to be in high demand.

One thing I think we should prioritize is the gravity tech sensors. They seem very good for dealing with the Nids, as right now one of their most dangerous aspects in the Void is their stealth level, and our current solution to that in Divination is unlikely to last at the level it currently is. And while the last turn page says there's a 1% chance, my own math doesn't agree—Tranth has +41 from learning, +25 from his paragon trait, +25 from other traits, and +10 from the gravitics fundamentals. Add in +70 from buildings and it looks like the minimum bonus should be +171—at a base -110 success chance even without DD or rerolls 39 or higher should be enough to pass. Toss in a DD and rerolls and a crit becomes reasonably possible.

At least our high tier industrial capacity is going through the roof with the many production boosts the admech has picked up. Of course, it does come at a cost in action slots—we've even got a 15 year action for a second forge in one of the Hives queued up on top of finishing out the production booster rollout and Titan forge, plus before those get done we'll want to start building the sized up forge for the new size forge hive.

Now, another thing to consider is psyker actions. Tamia and Ridcully are tied up for the foreseeable future as seems to be the norm. Assuming Aria comes back from campaign soon, I'd have her work on figuring out implementation and implementing Runes—we want something we can drop without major consequences if we need to deploy again, and things like Runes of toughness for portions of our armed forces could be huge as well as give our lower powered psykers something to do despite being largely sidelined for the Nids.

I'd love to get psyker Knights going, but we just don't have the time and action slots for it. To do it right we'd need Tranth to design a psychic knight frame on top of specialized training. Maybe once we get our psyker quarters expanded it can be a thing but even that's on hold for a while.

Depends how good the benefit of the grav sensors are vs the Norn queen derived ones.

We should do both of them anyway.
 
Also, two 5-year personal action slots will be clearing up next turn, since we don't have to spend time with Tormod or do Thunder Warriors anymore.

And we really should have Richards take a vacation sometime, before her burnout meter explodes on us later on while we're getting eaten by Tyranids.

We have 1 Honorbound, 2 Major, a 1 Minor favor with the Eldar.

Wish list:
1 Eldar set of ftl communicators, to share with the Dragon's Nest
1 favor spent on the Sirens. Probably aquaxenotech.

    • I think it is obvious that we should deck out our Chief Administrator with as many runes of luck as we can.

    Emperor knows Gros will need it.

    So we want this for heroes at least. 20*100(master) means 2000x multiplier on the sale size though, so heroes are about the only ones we could afford. I mean in theory we could get it for grandmaster psyker/witch hunters and last hunters, but even that would be a stretch.

    It's hard to judge things without knowing how much of a boost each of them provides though. Or what the quantity of difference between the levels of craftsmanship is.

    I'm inclined to apprentice wards for master psyker/witch hunters and journeyman wards for grandmaster. Those would help the most with our psyker problem I think while still being affordable.
