I believe we should bake a couple regiments in the cargomaster pattern.

I've fixed the vote box and added two units of GREAT infantry to the CargoMaster B.

Can we add more DEATH Marines to the Galactica? As in, is that possible even?

Bioplastic Construction
[Efficacy: 4]
Somewhere, the CEO of what was once a toy company just passed out from becoming too wealthy. While not every metallic component of a starship can be replaced with plastic, and there are a lot of things that could be replaced but shouldn't, there's a significant portion of vessel construction that your engineers are able to replace without much loss of integrity. There's likely more that can be replaced with the use of specialized polymers, but the current deployment is reasonably effective.

Bioplastic Construction: A doctrine of replacing non-essential metal parts with plastic replacements during starship construction enables you to replace 25% of a ship hull's base M cost with O. This is an option you can declare at the time of a ship's construction.


CargoMaster B Pattern
[Efficacy: 5] -5% discount
Base: 4067  * 0.95 = 3864
So, the PaceMaster might be a death trap that strikes a chord of fear within even the maddest Gaian engineer- but there is an upshot. You don't exactly have to spring for top quality parts. Radiation buffers can be purchased second hand, RCS fuel can be markedly impure, and it's not like you really need top quality investment in onboard amenities- since any use of the electrical system is generally forbidden on captain's orders for fear of accidentally initiating a reactor purge.


CargoMaster B Pattern 5% discount - 3864
1x Pacemaster Modular Transport (Transport Destroyer)
--> 1x - Eco-Bore Drive (70T 0O 100M 100E 20S | Capacity: -10 | Power: -60 | Speed 1)
--> 1x - Perpetual Energy Borehole Generator (0T 0O 175M 80E 25S | Capacity: -8 | Power +65)
--> 2x - GREAT Regiment (0T 100O 350M 150E 0S)


Galactica Pattern
[Efficacy: 1] +10% markup
Base: 17027.5-> 17028 roundup * 1.11 = 18731
The Galactica pattern, however, suffers from the opposite problem of the CargoMaster pattern. Instead of being able to cheaply source components, the engineering consultants have apparently managed to convince the requisition committees to throw in all the spinning rims, as well as finance a considerable amount of at-cost commemorative memorabilia designed to 'enhance public morale' and  'memorialize the greatest achievements of humanity'.  Such memorabilia, distributed with each launched vessel, includes bioplastic scale models of the Expedition vessels, Honeybee drone toys with fully moveable parts and a shockingly functional mini arc-welder, and an entire wardrobe of wearable merch commemorating aerospace engineering.

Galactica Pattern 10% Markup - 18731
1x Expedition-class Battlestar Cruiser: | 200T 400O 2300M 1000E 120S
--> 3x - Perpetual Energy Borehole Generator (0T 0O 175M 80E 25S | Capacity: -8 | Power +65)

--> 3x - Gravity Drive (70T 0O 100M 125E 20S | Capacity: -10 | Power: -45)

Here is an early draft of a plan. SHip designs are found in our planner spreadsheet, in the tab Andrea Math ( will save them in ship designer at a later date when I have time).
This would leave us with enough synthetics for a BOSS-E, but at this point I would rather leave it out so that next turn we can more easily reinforce whatever front we end up fighting on.
I have no clue on tactics, so right now they boil down to protect pacemaster, don't start fights. We could use some retreat clauses, maybe targeting priorities? I forgot how much we should say, and it is too late for me to figure it out today. Regardless, here is my production and deployment plan.

I'd like to fire on Hiver ships if they enter engagement range of our Galacticas, but not fire upon the Liir unless they fire upon us.

This version of the plan is slightly different in production, as I've chosen to (as Happerry suggested) replace the fourth GREAT regiment on each transport with a Bumble Drone, allowing us to prepare our positions better for enemy landings once things get contested. I also took a more complicated tactical plan, responding to ships attacking our priority targets with focused fire. There's also a more aggressive response to the Hivers than the Liir, but a reasonable one -- if the Hivers get into engagement range, they get fired on, but we only shoot the Liir if they shoot first. We won't be starting a fight that wasn't almost certainly going to happen anyway, and we demonstrate our relative attitude towards the races.

-The budget transports all get 3 GREAT regiments and 1 bumble drone loaded into them. The Cargomasters get 1 GREAT regiment and a bumble drone pod loaded in addition to the 2 GREAT regiments they already have, leaving them also with 3 GREAT regiments and 1 bumble drone pod.
-This creates Fleets Rao, Telaraņa, Iris-Hong, and Nautilus, and Transport Formations Aphelion, Khumalo, and Progress

-Fleet Rao
Composition
- 1 C&C expedition
- 1 Galactica
- 1 Budget transport (3x GREAT, 1x Bumble)
- 1 Rapid escort
Orders
-Budget transports jumps with Rapid escort
-Move to Oscar
-Unload all GREAT and the drone (which is in fortification mode) on Oscar planet
Tactics
The fleet orbits Oscar. If the Hiver fleet lands troops on Oscar, moves to engagement range, or fires upon it, Fleet Rao engages. The ships and fighters in the fleet should focus fire on ships in the process of attacking the C&C Galactica or the Pacemaster, though the Death Rays should be saved for vessels with heavy armor or PD, if they exist.
The Pacemaster just tries to unload its cargo.


-Fleet Telaraņa
Composition
- 1 C&C expedition
- 1 Galactica
- 1 Budget transport (3x GREAT, 1x Bumble)
- 1 Rapid escort
Orders
-Budget transports jumps with Rapid escort
-Move to Sierra
-Unload all GREAT and the drone (which is in fortification mode) on Sierra planet
Tactics
The fleet orbits Sierra. If the Hiver fleet lands troops on Sierra, moves to engagement range or fires upon it, Fleet Telaraņa engages. The ships and fighters in the fleet should focus fire on ships in the process of attacking the C&C Galactica or the Pacemaster, though the Death Rays should be saved for vessels with heavy armor or PD, if they exist.
The Pacemaster just tries to unload its cargo.

-Fleet Iris-Hong
Composition
- 1 C&C expedition
- 1 Galactica
- 1 Budget transport (3x GREAT, 1x Bumble)
- 1 Rapid escort
Orders
-Budget transports jumps with Rapid escort
-Move to Juliet
-Unload all GREAT and the drone (which is in fortification mode) on Juliet planet
Tactics
The fleet orbits Juliet. Fleet Iris-Hong does not engage the Liir unless fired upon, even if they enter engagement range. However, in the event of battle, the ships and fighters in the fleet should focus fire on ships in the process of attacking the C&C Galactica or the Pacemaster, though the Death Rays should be saved for vessels with heavy armor or PD, if they exist.
The Pacemaster just tries to unload its cargo.

-Fleet Nautilus
Composition
- 1 C&C expedition
- 1 Budget transport (3x GREAT, 1 Bumble Drone)
- 1 Rapid escort
Orders
-Budget transports jumps with Rapid escort
-Move to Romeo
-Unload all GREAT and the drone (which is in fortification mode) on Romeo planet
Tactics
The fleet orbits Romeo. Fleet Nautilus does not engage the Liir unless fired upon, even if they enter engagement range. However, in the event of battle, the ships and fighters in the fleet should focus fire on ships in the process of attacking the C&C Galactica or the Pacemaster, though the Death Rays should be saved for vessels with heavy armor or PD, if they exist.
The Pacemaster just tries to unload its cargo.

-Transport Formation Aphelion
Composition
- 1 Budget transport (3x GREAT, 1 Bumble Drone)
- 1 Rapid escort
Orders
-Budget transports jumps with Rapid escort
-Move to November
-Unload all GREAT and the drone (which is in fortification mode) on November planet
Tactics
Transport Formation Aphelion's Foray just tries to protect the Pacemaster while it unloads the troops, but it's almost certainly not going to see a fight anyhow.

The GREAT work on gaining Dominion, the Bumble Drone fortifies behind them.

-Transport Formation Khumalo

Composition
- 1 Cargomaster (3x GREAT, 1 Bumble Drone)
Orders
-Move to Kilo
-Unload all GREAT and the drone (which is in fortification mode) on Kilo planet
Tactics
Transport Formation Khumalo doesn't really have shit to do besides unload

-Transport Formation Progress
Composition
-1 Cargomaster (3x GREAT, 1 Bumble Drone)
Orders
-Move to Mike
-Unload all GREAT and the drone (which is in fortification mode) on Mike planet
Tactics
Transport Formation Progress doesn't have shit to do besides unload either.

While I'm complimented, that wasn't my suggestion. Nemonole was the one who brought it up.

Anyway the plan looks like an overall improvement so changing my vote to it.
