How would the inquisition know what was happening here, if it was as strong as back in 40k? Is it so unreasonable that the Publicani is basically doing whatever he wants regardless of Imperium doctrine, under the expectation that breaking laws only matters if you get caught?
That's Warhammer 40k. This is Warhammer 50k. Remember, the Space Marines we faced before were to a one wearing better Terminator Armor than the Adeptus Custodes in M41. When the Imperium won and destroyed the Eye Of Terror, they went on a bit of a R&D splurge.
Not really though. It's an Exterminatus that happens to be via a Vortex IED. Especially since we've seen what the prevailing understanding of the Warp has become from the Inquisitor who took his own life when we took over the planet: There is no organized or even mass amount of Daemons. They're still out there, but with the Four dead their armies and self-reinforcing ideas are dust on the wind. With no Chaos God, there isn't really anything that'll get empowered.
You say that like Death Cults weren't already a thing in the Imperium. Plus the Grey Knights' use of the blood of an executed innocent in the sanctification and creation of certain wards and ammunition is still canon.
I don't think so. With the governor, we got a look at his interactions with Dana and then got a bunch of action options to work with, which we then sort of screwed up on. Here, we didn't get choices, it just defaulted to the Publicani being aggressive and repeatedly trying to attack us without provocation, followed by an automated counterattack. The only things we decided on were who to invite to help us, and the method of attack.
I gotta ask what you imagine "live and let live" in this situation would look like. We didn't strike out against the Publicani until he shot our planet with three-thousand planet-killers bombs. Should we have just let them sit in orbit and keep trying to throw stuff at us until something stuck?
Clearly, we must learn Solar Blade.Solar Beam's lame, we need to set up Sunny Day to make it viable and that just makes Fire damage worse. Also that runs off Special Attack instead of Attack, and the World Tree is clearly designed to use physical Attack. We'd be better off swapping Vine Whip with Seed Bomb or Wood Hammer eventually, and maybe adding Stone Edge...
I dumped Pokemon after Sun and Moon so this may be slightly out of date joke-strategy.
Makes sense if the person who commissioned the ship wanted a guaranteed emergency getaway option. It's horribly inefficient and poor design for a conventional ship, sure, but if one of the main design concerns is making certain that the people in a specific part of the ship can get out of dodge then there's a reason to do it.
40k ships are stupidly huge.
The Star Galleon was said to be 9km long, and this was considered barely a destroyer so about 1.5km long. A sixth of the length, and 0.5% the volume (since Imperial ships maintain fairly similar proportions as they increase in size). That's a comparatively tiny expenditure of mass.
Plus, while it risks empowering one of the nasty daemons still in the warp, it would be a win as they could use that to rally the nearby sectors to dealing with it, helping keeping down the rebellious elements, Win-Win.
