They'll lack a convenient way to distribute. Due to the whole. We have air superiority bit.

Make them not interested in attacking our soldiers and we'll end up with nasty attackdogs.

Not really. They are self replicating shock troops that can make entire battalions out of any random civvie laying around. Functionally they can make entire countries No Go Zones. Plopping them in high value economic centers, power stations, and resource rich areas results in starving the humans of food and materials needed to keep their armies alive. Not to mention they'll get swamped with refugees that they Will need to protect to avoid being overrun by selfreplicating monstrosities. Further drawing from their food and shelter resources.

Maybe we should develop a stealth drop ship first, to allow us to deploy these lovely bio-terror weapons with ease, as well as diplomatic and spy actions.

For our scientists action, lets see about determining the psychology and diplomatic capacities of the target species, then we can begin negotiations with their leadership for surrender.  If we can force a cooperative alliance we can begin producing weapons on the ground.

We likely need proper interrogation chambers for that first Void. Last time we took captives they died from environmental issues.

Oh that is the problem, I should stop interrogating corpses!

Why not double down on our brain research and look at ways to create mind-control chips?

Also, 10ebbor10, if we gain a country, do we gain more production lines? Is there a way to build more ships?

I am bad with research that is not lasers.

Are you saying I should interrogate the corpses even harder?

Research long term alien containment habitats for human and other Earth life forms.

To both? So we can build more production ships? How?

Eh, mind control chips aren't going to be productive to long-term goals. And getting adaptation to earth environments would be better first off.

The thing is, we don't really know what are our goals. We're just faffing around at the moment, we don't know if we want to invade a place, try to convert them to us, stealthily take over...

Sweet. Lets lase some humans.

Earth environmental study/adaptation for our science action.

For our Production, start manufacturing the improved dropship instead of the old regular drop-pod

+1

Militarily we should look into destroying the native military and looking for a place to set up a base/manufacturing center.
