Y'all are going to be talking out the other side of your mouth about mentat experiments when we find out that the Courageous was actually sent through a time-space inversion that results in the entire ship and everyone on it being perfectly duplicated. So now we have two Courageous and two Captain McAdams.

Our computer system's descendants can create self-aware characters that foil Data. In good Star Trek tradition, I added 'used exotic effect to kill crew' to 'also disabled computer core', added a sprinkle of 'weird interference, most likely inversed polarity' and came up with 'sentient computer doesn't like'.
Why?
I'm currently using the standard human template for physiology. So, how would that work?

While Mutual Support is pretty vital right now, it's mostly because of the GBZ war. Without it we'd have adequate coverage. We could have it in 4 years with 4 boosts but now that our pp income is back I suspect we'll be too busy acquiring research teams to have much RP to spare. Certainly won't this turn, that's for sure. I suspect you want to do Border World Focus -> Mutual Support, then To Boldy Go -> Independent Captains? That would rebalance our defense requirements forward and reduce the number of home sector events, plus give us a bonus to respond to Border events. Could do Hard Shell System next, although it might require us to reduce below two ships per home sector.

I am really down on boosts. BOO BOOSTS. I don't want to boost anything ever again, and any statement that "we need X urgently" should not be regarded as a prod to use the poisoned fruit of the boost. A boost is just a sign we have too few tech teams.

Doesn't more space covered result in more events? And the more event rolls there are, the higher that the probability that there are more events in one sector then can be covered by the ships stationed there.

Wouldn't quite go that far (our RP income does fluctuate) but yes, we should now be able to acquire more tech teams. Are we going to try to phase out some of the Generic teams, or at least use them less?
IIRC more ships does not increase number of events. Number of events comes from tech and stuff.

We are 2 to short of what we need to activate all the tech teams this year. However we are gaining 29 rp income this year (assuming seyek provide 2) and have 6 more to next year from mining colonies. If we build at least two mining colonies a year that is an increase of 4 rp a year, and that is not including other species reaching 300 or other tech we can gain.

? With more explorers, more ships on stand-by, more science ships of members and affiliates and more real estate because more colonies in our sphere of influence, more events should happen.

We have had a PP crunch the past few years stopping us from gaining tech teams, also some techs are worth it. We boosted colony cores so that it finishes this year instead of next and that increases our rp income by 22 this year and PP income by 17, and next year our income increases by 6 rp and 3 PP thanks to it so I would say that tech was worth a boost.

More ships in our sector garrisons means a higher chance of being able to respond to existing events. More 5YM ships do actually generate more events, since each one is guaranteed to have a

So the collie mine counts as a mining colony so we will gain 24 rp and 18 pp in income this year!

So, about that 'horror' rating people have been requesting...
Next year, not this year, but yeah, more colonies, more RP/pp. Going forward, colonies will pay for themselves in just 8 years.

There is an old saying "prepare for the worst, hope for the best." All individuals here are merely thinking up options in the worst case scenario comes to pass.

Worst case scenario still doesn't call for using Genesis or the like against the Licori.
