Space supremacy. If we control space then we can drop bombs from orbit, meaning the artillery shells are only useful at the danger close level.

Better to have an escort that is more advanced to keep building our fleet up to par+ with others
 
The destroyer could be used to as a specific ship counter, very situational might not be worth it
We could take the Yata and outfit it as a ship or planet bomber, having this and a space supremacy fighter might be worth it
the stratagem is only worth it if we make a artillery regiment.

To my mind, if we want a bomber like that, we would just use a Mutt for it's strong attack bonus - which we could further improve with a system or two.

This is true, BUT bombarding Cities from space should be avoided whenever possible. We don't want another convoy.

Currently, Escorts just match up to opposing Escorts to keep them in check from swarming their assigned ship. Escorts that are able to breakthrough can lend a helping hand to a ship's Attack roll.

Thank you Celeshiro. I thought that was it but wasn't sure. So basically the Wolf gives enemy ships a +5 to hit in exchange for an additional weapons system. Not bad imo. To me this means we should vote for the Wolf or the Stratagem.
 
[X] Stratagem: Solar Scouring. It's a bit wasteful to use the material on expendable ammunition, but few can deny its effectiveness when in action. The scarcity though makes it hard for any but dedicated artillery units to make use of it so. Unlocks the Solar Scouring stratagem. Requires eight (8) research progress.
 
[X] Destroyer Hull: Wolf Escort Mk 1. A considerable shift in destroyer design doctrine, this hull utilizes integrated solarium wiring throughout its systems to accelerate system processing. This comes at the cost of being largely incompatible with non-solarium based systems, making it more reliant on itself than anything else. Unlocks the Wolf Escort Mk 1. Requires six (6) research progress.

Our very first(?) Solarium-based Destroyer!... It's... Purely offensive though. Maybe we can make do with a Wolfpack Tactic with more? Is a Basic Light Cruiser -lite without the Hangar and Escorts though and half HP..

...yeah, seeing the Yata being miffed by the Witchfire is sad, though the former is Solarium-based whilst the latter is not. (I think).

The Scouring... I, am not sure about it. It feels like a waste indeed nevermind the religious stuff about Solarium in particular.

So voting for the Destroyer. That and since it's a Mini-Light Cruiser, it's probably cheaper to build than a regular Cruiser... Not sure if it being Solarium-based will make it more expensive or not though otherwise. :V

It seems like the upgrade path for the Wolf is relatively straight-forward. "Just" make escorts that run on solarium-based systems! Easy, right? Because if we can fix that issue, then it's a pretty sizeable upgrade compared to mainline destroyers. Assuming mainline destroyees just get stat. upgrades and not extra stats. Which is a big assumption.
 
[X] Plane Airframe: Yata Mk 1. A new efficient fuel composition made using solarium has allowed for this jet to drastically cut down on its internal tanks and focus on adding more armaments. Solar radiation though interferes with electronic systems, making it strongly suggested to refrain from mounting too many until shield-proofing has been developed. Unlocks the Yata Mk 1. Requires six (6) research progress.
 
Celeshiro, I have a question if I may. You know the action we have to focus our research in a specific area? Where do stratagems fall in that? Do they just correspond to which areas the stratagem affects? E.g. scouring would fall under land research?

You got it in one, I do roll what field gets picked up first before going into more details for what is open. In this case it was land. If you were to hypothetically set it to air, that increases the chance of any stratagem conceived being air related while decreasing the odds of the other theaters of war.
 
I was just reading over the "Set Agenda" action and I got quite curious. What kind of thing might the "Industry" focus do? Also, what might we focus on if we wanted to increase Wealth? "Resources"?

"Resources" seems pretty tempting in its own right but I just wanted to ask.

Oh dear, that's a mistake. Instead of Industry which isn't really associated with anything at the moment aside from city growth, it's supposed to be Wealth. I'll fix that for next cycle, but that's how it's supposed to go so you can Set Agenda to Wealth.
 
Hmm if either Kat or Hifumi are available I'd like to "set agenda" with civilian military if we're lucky we might get some defensive emplacement.

Edit: forgot to mention that i want it for fortress Drakk.

Kat will be available. Hifumi won't. I would much rather that we keep Kat on semi-permanent Stewardship. We have a lot to build. I also want to focus on Wealth or Resources instead but that's me.

Is this a reference to something? I don't get it.
 
I also had a idea for a stupidly evil merc company

Name: Phone-a-clone™️SECURITY-CORP
Origin: A subsidiary of Exotics-Goods™️located on "tribune".
Backstory: Do you have a operation that needs that extra oumhp that Sec-Bots simply can't provide, maybe a Union that are getting to greedy, or maybe the local government simply won't let you build that environmentally friendly fracking-plant. then just give us a call we'll be there with ten thousand clones bred for combat, before you can say "cheaper than my mothers kidney", that's right you heard correct ten thousand clones, cheap, fast, and ready for fight your FIGHT!!!
Equipment: fairly standard loadout, except they are all clones of each other.
Unit Type: infantryx4

    • You know what would be really handy? Solarium circuits in your hand so that you don't feel the ache of nonstop writing. Guess I'll take either an undead or bionic hand too. But until then, just give me a moment to rest.

    I've at least updated the sheets for Calenwyrm though.
