I just figured that we were pulling mechs and other such machines from storage and the required build was to ensure that storage was maintained at acceptable levels. Otherwise, we are going to have a problem if an actual war ever breaks out and it's not over damn near immediately. I'd say that we should be smart enough to keep a reserve in case of such an event but given that we really haven't experienced an actual war that might not be a thing.

I wanted to make sure I understood what was being proposed by DOME.
You're going to make a larger than planetary sized solar sail, spray expanding foam on it and 'moor' it between the planet and the gas giant... That's what's basically being described, right?

Like our racing team, I'd prefer Shut Up and Drive, but that's just me.
And, once again, FASAnomics at play.

[X] Plan: Under our Umberella
Turn 86 - Is That A Chevy '69? How Bizarre.
Turn 86 - Is That A Chevy ‘69? How Bizarre.
-----
You are awakened and hustled into a bunker in the middle of the night by Palace Security. Once there you get an explanation. The Special Branch had detected an apocalyptic cult centered around the Black Steel, crazies who believe that any resistance to them is doomed and who had concealed their craziness well enough that nobody suspected a thing until it was almost too late.
Bombs have been found and defused in R&D labs, shipyards, factories, and orbital foundries throughout the Empire, resulting in many delays and serious issues. Unfortunately they didn’t find them all. The new Oasis II station in the New Pollux system is destroyed minutes before the evacuation order could be given, resulting in the deaths of thousands of workers and crewmen. The new White Tower under construction in the system is damaged but not completely destroyed.
The IGMP are on the case, hunting down the cultists. It had been a lucky fluke that allowed the Special Branch to find the cult in the first place, and unfortunately Jane was killed by the cult leader in the process. The entire Special Branch is nearly apoplectic with rage, to the point where the Justice Ministry has pulled them off the case lest more cultists get killed ‘resisting arrest’.
Several bombs were disarmed literally seconds before detonating, specifically those in the Medium Warship Yard complex in the Griffon system. A pair of unreasonably brave bomb techs managed the feat, disarming the primary explosives, although both were killed by the anti-tamper mechanisms that the cultists had installed, which had released enough hard radiation on them that even your medicine couldn’t save them. As a result, you haven’t lost all of the new ships under construction in the complex.
A similar bomb was disarmed in the new Germanium Processing Facility in the Griff’s Roost system, with a similar loss of life among the bomb techs involved in the disarming process. Lesser devices were found in the new Medium yard in the Calliope system. The new light warship yard slip in the Nowa Warszawa system is undergoing decontamination after a partial detonation spread highly radioactive material throughout the structure, but should be ready by Q2 of next year.
Thanks to the chaos caused by the cultists disrupting operations, Grace reluctantly reports that none of the R&D teams that had been working on projects this year will be able to finish on time, although they hope to have results by Q1 of next year. Likewise Elizabeth reports that the major infrastructure overhaul scheduled for Calliope this year has been pushed back to Q3 of next year thanks to the need to clean up after multiple smaller attacks in that system.
Meanwhile a small bomb detonated in the new Small Warship Yard just days before it was scheduled to be brought into service. Thankfully damage was limited and there were no casualties, the yard should be ready to lay down the first ship early next year.
In the realm of good news, HMS Exeter has been commissioned, giving you your first home grown million ton warship. Thanh sends you a glowing report on her performance in her commissioning trials, showing that she exceeded expectations for extreme range gunnery thanks to an extremely efficient main battery layout permitting effective engagement at ranges further than the weapons were nominally rated. The massive gauss battery in the bow comes in for specific praise, along with the sixteen heavy naval PPCs mounted there.
Multiple other vessels are also commissioned, including a quartet of the proven Wichita design. The first of the Fletcher Flight II vessels have also been commissioned to excellent reviews, beyond minor complaints about the loss of storage space and the two less drop collars featured on the new destroyer compared to the older design.
Procurement in general is a bright spot, with all of the new units coming online on time and on budget. You do get a memo noting that the DURF is at full capacity and would likely need to be expanded again for optimal efficiency.
The raft of new ASF factories have been completed on time and on budget despite the chaos of the cultists’ attacks. Likewise your strategic materials stockpiles have received a welcome boost as additional production capacity has come online, both via the expansion of existing and the addition of new orbital forges and foundries.
The survey mission to GX-I25 is delayed, the survey team that was supposed to be embarked for the mission was found to have several cultists among them, with a few small bombs discovered in their personal effects. The Miranda departs with a new survey team on the last day of the year, and expects to have results for you next year.
The team sent to GX-H24 reports back that they discovered a rather interesting and potentially useful system, although they do report the same sort of HPG static interference as several other of your ‘northern’ tier of systems. The system is centered around a very bright white-yellow star that is remarkably stable for its stellar classification according to the stellar physicists on board. The innermost asteroid belt is, nevertheless, lashed with hard radiation but the survey shows exceptionally rich deposits of ore present. The lone habitable planet is a deep blue marble, broken up only by the fluffy whiteness of clouds. No land is present, and the average ocean depth is over a mile. The marine ecosystem is incredibly varied, with enormous ‘whales’ being the dominant lifeform.
Zoologists are a bit baffled by how they evolved, as the typical ‘out of the water, back into the water’ sequence for marine mammals is impossible on this world, but are confident that they’ll figure things out.
Weather conditions on the world are remarkably mild in some ways, terrifying in others. Storms can grow to incredible size and ferocity, with no landmasses to break them up. However, get a few dozen meters underwater and conditions become calm and placid.
Thankfully there weren’t any cultists present in the Kainga system, so the work on terraforming and reconstruction of the irradiated wastes proceeded quite successfully, with obvious immediate benefits for the locals on the planet. A rather raucous and loud planet-wide party broke out at the conclusion of the project, delaying the report by a few days as the DoME teams were rather too hung over to be particularly coherent.

-----
You are awakened and hustled into a bunker in the middle of the night by Palace Security. Once there you get an explanation. The Special Branch had detected an apocalyptic cult centered around the Black Steel, crazies who believe that any resistance to them is doomed and who had concealed their craziness well enough that nobody suspected a thing until it was almost too late.
Bombs have been found and defused in R&D labs, shipyards, factories, and orbital foundries throughout the Empire, resulting in many delays and serious issues. Unfortunately they didn’t find them all. The new Oasis II station in the New Pollux system is destroyed minutes before the evacuation order could be given, resulting in the deaths of thousands of workers and crewmen. The new White Tower under construction in the system is damaged but not completely destroyed.
The IGMP are on the case, hunting down the cultists. It had been a lucky fluke that allowed the Special Branch to find the cult in the first place, and unfortunately Jane was killed by the cult leader in the process. The entire Special Branch is nearly apoplectic with rage, to the point where the Justice Ministry has pulled them off the case lest more cultists get killed ‘resisting arrest’.
Several bombs were disarmed literally seconds before detonating, specifically those in the Medium Warship Yard complex in the Griffon system. A pair of unreasonably brave bomb techs managed the feat, disarming the primary explosives, although both were killed by the anti-tamper mechanisms that the cultists had installed, which had released enough hard radiation on them that even your medicine couldn’t save them. As a result, you haven’t lost all of the new ships under construction in the complex.
A similar bomb was disarmed in the new Germanium Processing Facility in the Griff’s Roost system, with a similar loss of life among the bomb techs involved in the disarming process. Lesser devices were found in the new Medium yard in the Calliope system. The new light warship yard slip in the Nowa Warszawa system is undergoing decontamination after a partial detonation spread highly radioactive material throughout the structure, but should be ready by Q2 of next year.
Thanks to the chaos caused by the cultists disrupting operations, Grace reluctantly reports that none of the R&D teams that had been working on projects this year will be able to finish on time, although they hope to have results by Q1 of next year. Likewise Elizabeth reports that the major infrastructure overhaul scheduled for Calliope this year has been pushed back to Q3 of next year thanks to the need to clean up after multiple smaller attacks in that system.
Meanwhile a small bomb detonated in the new Small Warship Yard just days before it was scheduled to be brought into service. Thankfully damage was limited and there were no casualties, the yard should be ready to lay down the first ship early next year.
In the realm of good news, HMS Exeter has been commissioned, giving you your first home grown million ton warship. Thanh sends you a glowing report on her performance in her commissioning trials, showing that she exceeded expectations for extreme range gunnery thanks to an extremely efficient main battery layout permitting effective engagement at ranges further than the weapons were nominally rated. The massive gauss battery in the bow comes in for specific praise, along with the sixteen heavy naval PPCs mounted there.
Multiple other vessels are also commissioned, including a quartet of the proven Wichita design. The first of the Fletcher Flight II vessels have also been commissioned to excellent reviews, beyond minor complaints about the loss of storage space and the two less drop collars featured on the new destroyer compared to the older design.
Procurement in general is a bright spot, with all of the new units coming online on time and on budget. You do get a memo noting that the DURF is at full capacity and would likely need to be expanded again for optimal efficiency.
The raft of new ASF factories have been completed on time and on budget despite the chaos of the cultists’ attacks. Likewise your strategic materials stockpiles have received a welcome boost as additional production capacity has come online, both via the expansion of existing and the addition of new orbital forges and foundries.
The survey mission to GX-I25 is delayed, the survey team that was supposed to be embarked for the mission was found to have several cultists among them, with a few small bombs discovered in their personal effects. The Miranda departs with a new survey team on the last day of the year, and expects to have results for you next year.
The team sent to GX-H24 reports back that they discovered a rather interesting and potentially useful system, although they do report the same sort of HPG static interference as several other of your ‘northern’ tier of systems. The system is centered around a very bright white-yellow star that is remarkably stable for its stellar classification according to the stellar physicists on board. The innermost asteroid belt is, nevertheless, lashed with hard radiation but the survey shows exceptionally rich deposits of ore present. The lone habitable planet is a deep blue marble, broken up only by the fluffy whiteness of clouds. No land is present, and the average ocean depth is over a mile. The marine ecosystem is incredibly varied, with enormous ‘whales’ being the dominant lifeform.
Zoologists are a bit baffled by how they evolved, as the typical ‘out of the water, back into the water’ sequence for marine mammals is impossible on this world, but are confident that they’ll figure things out.
Weather conditions on the world are remarkably mild in some ways, terrifying in others. Storms can grow to incredible size and ferocity, with no landmasses to break them up. However, get a few dozen meters underwater and conditions become calm and placid.
Thankfully there weren’t any cultists present in the Kainga system, so the work on terraforming and reconstruction of the irradiated wastes proceeded quite successfully, with obvious immediate benefits for the locals on the planet. A rather raucous and loud planet-wide party broke out at the conclusion of the project, delaying the report by a few days as the DoME teams were rather too hung over to be particularly coherent.

Wow look at all those 14 and 12s in the planet rolls. We must do for some lucky dice this round.
Or maybe not. Rest In Peace Jane and the bomb men. The bomb disarmers, not the bomb planters. The bomb planters can be T-Rex chew toys.

There are so many cool DoME projects that would allow the ecosystems to continue. Why would you destroy so much of this unique planet with asteroid terraforming?
Arcologies, arcologies everywhere. Floating arcologies, submersibible arcologies, seafloor arcologies.
Jeez those ... crit fails...
Are those beginning to creep up on our tables now? We've been blessed with a dearth of them for so long that now they appear with a vengeance?
Also w.r.t. to that system where only asteroids are presents -> get an O'Neil Cylinder set up there for habitation? And resource exploitation from there on?
