They're basically a bunch of tribalists running around on an automated ship. You'd be better served inviting a bunch of them aboard, having your tech-priests run a school for them for 20-30 years, then coming back to drop them off.
Oh shoot, I forgot to add some things to the end up the update. Added, and copied here:
Added above - you can turn them into Deep Space Manufactories.
I'm not even sure if that would be a good result or a bad result. Either way, probably not. That explanation makes no sense to me. It might be fairly unique to necromunda.
Automated manufactory would probably be enough.
Fixed, thanks.
Remember there's like... 8 million people total in the system. It's about 0.1% the population of Denva. Less then 10% of them are obviously chaos-aligned.
I saw that and just sat there in disbelief for a moment, yeah.
Did anybody catch the invisitext?
You can toss Bongo into the sun with a free action at any time. Just gotta win the vote with a plan that includes it.
@Cookiesndip I'm going to second this. You've been threadbanned a few times and it's derived from your no-holds-barred method of argument. You've made some good points that get overshadowed by your approach. If you were a bit more curious and a little less judgmental it would go a long way towards people engaging productively with your arguments instead of reflex-denial because they were insulted.
It very much depends on the gradation. I would say I've gone with that in the context of corruption of computers by a demon specifically tuned to generate computer-corrupting scrapcode.
This is true. You'd probably be able to detect that, though maybe not across the system. And you wouldn't necessarily know what it was without demonology.
An asteroid belt is big, and you rolled a 40. There very well might be POIs you missed (though I am neither confirming nor denying that such exist). At the very least it'll likely give you more detailed profiles on all of the individual stations.
You explicitly don't need navigator genetics to hatch the navibean. That's more for understanding their genetics and the potential capability to clone more.
Good instincts.
50% as much as in 150% of the price or 50% of the price. I am aware the second is more likely that the first but it's a bit unclear.
So one will cost 375BP and produce 125BP.
Would this research apply automatically to the Deep Space Manufactory or would we need to do some blue print designing as well? And if so, for how many RP?
Ah good point to do the 150RP research.
This cuts off abruptly Neablis.
Hmm...maybe it's something like a psychic version of Mad Cow Disease? It gives me Nurgle vibes.
I think I mostly agree with the addendum that we need to not get attached as we are planing on leaving sometime soon (we can return from Denva later, they survived centuries, a decade or two won't hurt them). Additionally I think swapping out Intelligence coding and Does in vitro have something to do with wine? or Basic Active Stealth for some mix of Faith is my shield, Psychic tripwires, and/or Machine Spirit Chaos resistance would be a better move at the moment. Especially if we do Demonology this turn.
Doesn't our current available tech for automated manufactories require CP, and thus require an AI or OMC manager?
Meianmaru has already covered why we want to keep Bongo in general, but here, right now?
Honestly, the more important capability is probably Psychic Encryption. Bongo will be far, far less capable of hatching devious plans like this one if he can't see outside of his prison.
I suppose I could be convinced of that yeah, could probably focus on hatching the navigator bean later since a lot of people want to hold off until we return to Denva. Decisively solving the Bongo Question is probably my top priority, along with keeping up with exploration.
Depends on rolls. It's unlikely to automatically improve the deep space manufactory but it might unlock stations that are better but bigger, or stations that improve the efficiency of a set number of other stations.
Pretty much.
This is always possible. Nat 1's are on the very far end of the probability scale, but not off it entirely. Paranoid, redundant shielding is how you defend against it, and that's what you have.
Empathy at Range is also useful for detecting active chaos worshipers, it will have false positives but IMO a lot of those may be socially mal-adaptive practices which need stamping out anyway.
Huh?
I didn't see anything else.

Ten thousand armored killbots with advanced weapons is a pretty stacked deck, though. An absolutely ridiculously stacked deck. And Cia has power armor - not the best stuff, but we're talking about going up against neobarbarians with scrap melee weapons mostly, and she'd also got a personal shield if they pop off an Imperial relic at her.
Without Basic Cognition Filter they remain vulnerable to cognitohazards.
