Vox Vitae: Warhammer AI quest

Reader mode
Thinking about orbital defenses, I think we should update the Caltrop to drop the light shield for Improved stealth before we build too many more. The improved stealth will keep the station completely hidden up to Long weapons range, which is the ideal target bracket for the lance. This will let them be caltrops in truth, lurking in the darkness until they can stab into someone's foot / sensor array / etc.

The price for the caltrop would stay the same and the switch over would cost 10 RP.

Edit: This gave me the idea to redesign the Flame into a stealth based Torpedo frigate.
Shadow - Frigate (2725 VBP, 100 CP, 50 RP), Hull: (900, 2080m x 560m), Engines: 5 Gravities, Shields: None, Armor: Medium, Hull Equipment (650 BP): Psychic Shielding: 40 HP, Improved Passive Stealth Profile, Weapons (750 BP, 675 Size): 2x Medium Torpedoes, 1x Light Macrocannon, 1x Point Defense, Combat Equipment (200 BP, 200 Size): Low-Emission System, Plasma Payloads, Melta Payloads
The Shadow is designed to lurk around a system strike when the opponent is not ready to deal with torpedoes. Two launchers let's it salvo a one-two punch of Plasma followed by Melta.

Hm. Yeah, I can see the logic. Sometimes the point is to be seen so that a fight isn't started at all, but we haven't really used caltrops that way so far.

I mean, we kinda tried to when we left Denva in case some more stealth raiders showed up if I remember right? Not sure if that actually did any good, though.

Sometime down the line, perhaps we get that follow-on tech from low emissions systems that lets us hide the source of weapons fire. Fields of caltrops with that tech would be pretty funny imo.

I think we shouldn't build or design Caltrops of any variation. If Denva wants to churn defense platforms they can, but they're a poor use of our resources.

Sneaky defense platforms have a nice sound, but I don't think they're anywhere near cheap enough for what they could do unless the enemy blunders deep into their network before taking fire.
 
I'm holding out hope that we'll be able to retain some degree of control over the Aetherion Industrial Complex after we head out to continue exploring, whether that's just leaving it in the hands of the up and coming Cogitare, building a new Stone Person to run it, or developing good enough warp comms to retain control.

So static defenses could be useful for that, but I agree we're unlikely to be using them much "in the field".

I believe Neablis said we can hand it over to the Voidforge Miners to keep in trust for us while we are gone, but I can't find the quote. Worst case it is probably something we could spend a boon on.

If we are going to leave them with it, we should think of some suitably grand project for them to work on. Maybe a mega project?

Four Space Elevators equidistant around the equator to geosynchronous orbit, the counterweight a Ring of Iron (but built with DAOT Tech and specifically designed from the ground up to be a single Megastructure instead of cobbled together like Mars's version is)?

Denva's VBP = YES

If we're gonna give the entire AdMech a hernia and stroke combined, let's give them a raging hard on too, this way they die in agony and very confused.

See, that's one of the things I want Warp Comms for, is so we can operate things remotely. We could have that by now if we'd started working on it when I first proposed. Or, if we started working on that now, we could have it in three turns.
 
Prime 2.0 said:
Hm. Yeah, I just... kinda fundamentally disagree on the conclusions here, because the bots aren't there to be security forces, that's an extra. They're there to be a massive number of mobile sensors, a compromise choice because I couldn't make using drones instead work. For the purpose of counterinsurgency, their utility as combatants is just window dressing.

It's all about having so many sensors on the ground that wherever we will it, not even individual cultists isolated from their cell can escape notice. I only even kept them humanized because I want them to still be useful as combatants in future turns, what with us having a quarter hundred thousand of the things.

But enough about the bots, since I now know that's a side show.

The research and how it forwards longer term and "before we leave denva" goals I've discussed earlier - I see it as taking steps towards a high-prep execution of the demonology (that is, we'll be ready to do it in full safety next turn), getting trade good-ready shields in a hurry so if friendly visitors happen we can build strong and ongoing ties to us and Denva immediately, getting personal psy shields for our crew and staff, and taking a flying leap towards our next generation forces of which the seeker is just a preview.

Something I don't think I've brought up, but factored a good bit into my thinking - I strongly suspect that any unit with both psy shields and machine spirit design modifiers will get the machine spirit controlled psy shields tech.

This is notable because those shields are better in "every way but cost", and "as a sensor" is very definitely a way-that-is-not-cost. This factors into Denva's rebuild choices, in which cases they would design infrastructure with machine spirits embedded to take advantage of that and reap the improved shields.

But by extension, that may also benefit the designs we'll get back - below abstraction and otherwise - which to start with is pretty convenient, but is especially notable for their purpose as trade goods because Machine Spirits do a bang-up job at giving technology tamper resistance.

Suffice to say, the potential to make export goods that will tell the buyer to piss off if they try to fuck with or take apart the psy shield is a very good thing.

I would think getting more of their stuff set up would create more ties than doing a very, very thorough job of helping with one thing. And as for the bots being sensors, they won't provide much coverage over a planet. They won't provide much coverage over a city. Not compared to the total urban area, and not compared to what Denva can do by issuing little shields to their troopers.

What we can do to help is get the techs, design things (like the satelites), launch satelites (they're most likely much more gated on VBP than ground BP), and provide comms, control, and aid.

As for the bots getting MS shields, that seems to me to go against it being "the cheapest shield available".

In terms of Demonology, I don't think any benefit from having the integrated shields tech or even machine spirit resist will be very relevant to Demonology, unless we're rebuilding the Oubliette or the warp lab shields. Especially since delaying a turn will let Bongo charge up.

Advanced Materials, go!

And I like that project! There was also the world-spanning trains that were proposed much earlier in the thread... and one can never forget Dyson Spheres.

Funny enough, that was me too, the Planetary Transit System. Mix of vacuum Maglev networks, supersonic civilian flights, robust commuter systems, all divided into Continental Districts for administrative management. Would have been glorious. *Sigh*

Nah, a Dyson Sphere isn't ambitious enough.

A Dyson SWARM is...made entirely of Glorianna-class DAOT super dreadnoughts.

If we're planning crazy megastructures, Vothryn has a bunch of rapidly emptying stations that can be converted into discounted Machine Spirit Deep Space Manufactories, and a couple of gas giants no one is using that could be nice spots to stick a couple of Deep Well Industrial Zones, and a star that could host an array to direct Nicoll-Dyson Beams at anyone who comes to mess with us.

It might take a while to get there, but we could point enough energy at anyone with static population centers that the only people who could survive becoming our enemy would be the bloody Eldar.

    • [x] Plan: G-1st Counter-Insurgency featuring shields for literally everybody
      -[x] The Big Idea: Shielding. Shielding everywhere. I'm making Xon's dream come true, and because every shield is a warp sensor not only will people in their fancy new shielded apartments be safe from chaotic attack, cultists won't go anywhere near them for fear of being immediately discovered before they can do anything. And then a couple dozen thousand shielded robots find them anyways.
      -[x] Research x2 (400 + 85 (Anexa) + 56 (Anexa staff, 20 Cogitare assigned to design) = 541 RP)
      --[X] The Taste of Chaos (100 RP)
      ---[x] Anexa assist
      --[x] Small-scale design-integrated psychic shielding (aka "SSDIPS") (150 RP)
      --[X] Hardware Psychic Encryption (50 RP)
      --[x] Machine Spirit Chaos resistance (Boost: 75 RP base * 1.25 = 93.75 -> 94 RP)
      --[X] Machine Spirit-controlled Psychic Shields (50 RP)
      --[x] Blueprint: Seeker Light Infantry Bot [>=10 RP, 80 BP, 20 CP] (RP price halved due to 20 assigned Cogitare)
      ---[x] 10 RP - Light infantry bots (25 BP, 200 CP)
      ---[x] Humanization - (+15 base BP cost for combat bots)
      ---[x] Machine-spirits - (+0.5x base BP cost, -0.9x base CP cost)
      ---[x] Design-Integrated Psychic Shielding - (+?x RP, +0 BP cost for bots)
      ---[x] Less-than Lethal armament - (+0.5x base BP cost for vehicles and small craft & bots.)
      --[x] Assist Denva with SSDIPS-based designs such as shielded housing and personal shielding (Overflow)
      --[x] Intelligence Coding (Overflow 2)
      -[x][Repair Bay]: spent in Construction
      -[x] Construction (600 VBP + 5340 Aetherion MS manus + 1,100 VBP (Voidforge Miners) = 7040 / 1000 Repair Bay / 500 Lift Capacity):
      --[x] Repair the Spark's structure damage (110 VBP) (15/125 -> 125/125 BP of structure damage repaired)
      --[x] Psychic Shielding: Outer Hull 221/240 -> 240/240 HP (95 VBP)
      --[x] The Spark: Basic Psychic Experimentation Lab 666/1215 -> 1215 (549 VBP, 50 CP)
      --[x] Fix up 41 Orbital Manufactories to MS-manufactories (4100 BP, 615 CP)
      --[x] 4854/7040 BP
      --[x] Build 25,000 Seeker bots. (2,000 BP, 500 CP)
      --[x] Aetherion Shipyard repair (All remaining BP) (186 BP)
      -[x] Orders: Help Denva cleanse the planet of hidden chaos cults
      --[X] Idea: Could use psy-shield equipped forces for search and patrol, while stationing reserve forces of unshielded bots/tanks on shuttles that can rapidly insert from orbit onto the scene of a detected cult or cultist attack to reinforce local responders.
      --[X] Idea: Shielded housing isn't just for safety - build outwards from major population centers they could rapidly make these areas impossible to operate for cults because omni-present warp sensors risk catching them immediately even if they don't do anything. The targeted use and expansion of "safe zones" and shield-equipped patrols can be used to direct and limit undiscovered cultist cells' movement to make finding them easier.
      --[X] Idea: Investigation and counter-terrorism is more Denva's show than yours, and they could definitely use the experience. Consider lending your Seeker bots on request.
