First let me say that this is entirely up to Lord Sunhawk. The author can totally ignore my comment. If I remember the beginnings of the thread correctly the settlers lost most of the Star League knowledge. It stands to reason that most of their knowledge of pre-FTL Terra / Earth was lost too...

I´m not sure if that is the best idea? I mean you would have to build two different ASF lines plus (probably) some supply lines. For example I´m not sure if you can transfer the updated 30 ton Centurion electronics 1:1 to the 80 ton Vulcan? But I´m no expert here... Anyway you have to build two...

That makes sense. I must have overlooked that it was for the protection of the factory satellites. It´s already in space so you might be able to use small craft / dropships to tug it slowly to its new position. That will take time but you won´t need any repaired transit drives for that. Just...

Actually before turning that Pinto into a dedicated ASF base "stationed out in the rings of that gas giant" I personally would try to partially / fully repair the actually existing space station orbiting Catachan? I mean that station is already partially habitable and in orbit? At least that was...

What happened to the "Special Branch of the Queen’s Own Regiment"? Established pretty early when that former special forces team gone rogue shot down the airplane with Willis and Sarah. And - I might be wrong here - didn´t the police also establish some special fast reaction teams with heavier...

[X] Continue building a balanced fleet using the current design paradigm Any light cruiser design (680,000 tons) that is a) fast enough (safe thrust 2g?) and b) heavily armored to survive one or two broadsides of a McKenna and c) carries enough heavy capital naval weapons in one sector (nose?)...

But a 95 ton ASF would hardly count as civilian production or research? Now that would be a possibility. Either research or production. I don´t know if Amaris could actually produce HPGs? Quite a few of the political prisoners seem to have been highly educated and trained. It´s quite possible...

That makes sense. After all each "outpost" needs to be protected from the domestic "wildlife". Keeping them small would reduce the amount of protection needed. Say, the mine itself, a smelter to refine the ore so that less material needs to be transported to the holdfast factories plus quarters...

That is a very pessimistic view. Yes, there are the "social generals" but I assume that at mid level we can find quite a few capable officers. Not to mention that this is where Katrina is focussing her reforms. And for the ASFs, well Richthofen produced quite some results. Fortunately for...

Probably a Pinto corvette? Possibly intact Barracuda launchers, NL 35s, light NPPCs and NAC/10s. With the exception of naval Gauss an example of each group of capital naval weapons. Nice... Was the space station discussed too? I don´t remember it? Chapter 5 said: "Looks like it used to be...
