That was perfect. The crit gave us everything I would have wanted from a diplomacy action. We know where danger lurks and got their warp address if we want to pay them a visit.
Since we don't need to use a diplomacy action on the space marines this turn and the factory handoff needs to wait until Manufacturing OMC is done, what if we expand this to 3 research action + construction?
-[] Research x3 (600 RP + 55 RP)
--[] Immaterium Investigations (200 RP)
---[] Anexa +55 RP, +10 speciality (Warp)
--[] Organic-Machine control (150 RP)
--[] Further Scrapcode Research (150 RP)
--[] Mothballing (50 RP)
--[] 105 RP budget ("Organic-Machine control" related potential Poor Success cleanup tech -> Manufacturing OMC tech)
This would advance both the projects we want to finish before leaving and preps us to store any industry we want to keep.
With a construction action we could do:
-Construction (7850 BP)
--[] Repair Aerithon factories (1,500 BP, 250 CP)
--[] 8x Deep Space Manufactories (6,000 BP, 400 CP)
---[]
@Neablis, could we build manufactories in a mothballed state?
This gets us a lot of industry that we can mothball in prep for our departure. The plan would be to hand over all the industry on / around Denva next turn, while we keep everything at Aerithon. Next turn before the handoff we could drop the 6,250 BP to build out the 50 discount orbital manufactories and 1,500 BP for two more Deep Space Manufactories. This would leave us with (50*50 = 2,500 BP from Logistics station + 1000 BP from gas stations + 1000 BP from deep space) = 4,500 BP mothballed for our return from exploration.
This assumes we are leaving for exploration next turn.
Thoughts?
