Looks like the only thing left to do in this region of space is to defeat the Dracs, deal with Killburough, find out what happened to the Amaris pirates... and that's it. We could then try contacting Canopus. Well, that's assuming we don't run into new hostile civilizations along the way, which I'm guessing we will.

I don't think we've heard from the Freefolk in a while? Or are they still visiting us every now and then and it's so often that the text doesn't bother describing their visits? If they haven't visited in a while, then maybe they moved on to another region of space... or they got killed by hostiles we aren't aware of yet?

Word of GM on Discord is that they are still around. Just not relevant to the story anymore.

Basically an example of Space Feudalism in practice.

3 new planets!

[] Ah-Muzen-Cab

About half the cost. Named for the Mayan god of BEES!🐝 My latest "pyramid" design.

[] Independence

Over twice the independent combat value, probably a little under that after accounting for the ASF contingent. ShadowArxxy's design.

Jackie is very, very enamored with the idea of retiring to these gorgeously senic lands to play with grandbabies and grifftigers while Jeremy gets to deal with all the problems from now on.

In practical terms, the Independence has the combination of speed, firepower, and sustained logistics to act as our first true fleet carrier, whereas the Ah-Muzen-Cab is more of a long-range light carrier (in the WWII sense of light carriers)

(Note that if we desire a lower-cost "filler" carrier, Majeure Electrique has one of those that's even cheaper and easier to mass produce, based on the same hull as the existing Bainbridge class destroyers. However, the Taffy class escort carrier doesn't have the fuel and cargo space for extended logistics like the Independence and Ah-Muzen-Cab do.)

Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
How many Independences could we buy instead of 1 Royal Sovereign or 1 Majestic ? Assuming of course the limitations were only money related

Not counting mass production discounts, a Royal Sovereign class costs approximately 5.9 billion C-bills, while a Majestic class costs 5.3 billion C-bills. The Independence class is roughly 4.5 billion C-bills, while the Taffy class is 1.3 billion C-bills (and can be built in regular DropShip yards as opposed to requiring a Large DropShip yard).

However, keep in mind that while the Royal Sovereign is a "battlecarrier" with its own wing of ASFs, it does not have the fuel and cargo supplies to sustain aerospace operations the way either of the new carrier proposals can.

[X] Needs more negotiation, but the vacation home is non-negotiable
[X] Disapprove (just so they don’t think we’re pushovers)
