Yes, but the Syndicate is losing MUCH more in the way of hp. I'm not sure how quickly they can recruit and reform the units those hp represent but I suspect it's not THAT quick.

I think the fact that we are starting to damage syndicate assets beyond just ramping up the impact is a good sign. though I'm a bit worried that our investigation unit is now at half hp.

Personal Log, Vitalia Yukiko Kahurangi, Stardate 24444.6
Strange when I think that I'm working my way through my last chances to make a difference. My last Shipyard Ops meeting, my last time making my presentations to Council. My last time in the Ship Design Bureau steering committee. Now that I know it's coming to an end I feel so panicked. Did I order the right ships? Did I request the right programs? The fruits of what I have started will take years to reveal if I was right or wrong. I want to leave with the best impact upon the organisation I have dedicated my working life to. I want to head off into retirement with a satisfied mind. This last whirlwind of activity is all about that one desire, the one thing I want to take with me.
A satisfied mind.

Can the inspiration stack with normal inspiration and are teams on a project with only 1 tech valid targets?

Well, I guess accelerate, at least for now, is the order of the day.

@OneirosTheWriter
We've got 26 tech teams at the moment. Can we or can we not activate them all? I ask because []PLAN says 25.

It's just another inspiration roll, irrespective of where the original lands, so yes, valid target.

A relatively important project with single tech and a generic team working on it is the ideal use case for boost. Boosts on projects with multiple techs aren't guaranteed to do anything useful and can in some rare cases even delay completion. Calculating how likely a boost is to help would be pretty complicated.
Boosting a skilled team to finish a node a year early is even better though, and we have nearly 20 years to boost isolinear in.

On one hand, we're laying down the hurt much faster than I expected. On the other, I hope there isn't anything we need to spend lots of PP on in the near future.

Doesn't it make more sense to use the boost to finish nodes off quicker? Boosting 40 Eridani A or the Vulcan Science academy means they finish the last subtech this turn and can get started on another node next turn instead of the turn after next.

Lack of rp. Even one boost is a little bit of a risk, but accelerating isolinear computers would be worth deactivating 2 generic teams next year for if it comes to that.
...I completely missed that boosts cost 10rp each. That makes perfect sense.

We should have 189+30+5+5=229rp, not 223.
2310 EOY: 189rp
2311.Q1 Captain's Logs: 30rp
2311.Q2.M1 Captain's Logs: 5rp
2311.Q2.M2 Captain's Logs: 5rp
All totals up to 229rp.

Do you really think that getting Isolinear Computers one turn faster is worth that much?

The following teams are down to one path in their tech, and could benefit most from a boost:
I for one, am personally in favor of Fleet in Being-it buffs our installations, and may synergise well with Base Strike in that regard, it increases Home Sector event rates without decreasing border sector event rates, and makes it easier and quicker to build new Explorer and Cruiser classes.
Our offensive doctrine will probably be either Base Strike or Decisive Battle, and I for one, think that the Base Strike doctrine is a better one than the all-or-nothing Mahanian conflict to decide the war. Of course, aircraft carriers aren't in the cards, but I can easily foresee Base Strike helping us to guard our colonies and lash out at our rivals should the need arise.

Hmm, can't decide if want to start on next node of Warp or Sensors nao more. Think I'll switch to VSA because the actual subtech has benefits immediately.
