Alright.

Troop Plans:
Shift enough dropships from IG 3 to the other two to fill them to full combat strength (Ten each), and use those groups to start raiding more sensitive locations.

Then divide the remainder of IG3 into two smaller groups and start using these groups to raid isolated rural communities for captives (For research purposes).

Lastly, assign the drones three-fold. The majoyity of the drone production will go into a separate air superiority units, while the remainder are given over to the two main battlegroups as close escorts/air support.

Can we resolve the 3-way tie?

[FallacyofUrist]

I place my vote on one chosen at random.

[Hawk132]

+1 to Taricus.

Research

Research on the captured specimens went well. Though no living specimens were present, as our atmosphere is apparently even more toxic to them as theirs is to our own (and the launch apparently a bit rough), we went a long way in investigating the nature of their functioning, focusing specially on the nervous system. It appears that their center of thought is located in a spiny protrusion located on top of the body, using a network of nerves to connect through the body.

Research gained:

Why was the battle so disastrous? Those missiles. We don't have antimissile devices or drones or anything. We need point defense!

[~Neri]

Point defense drones? We already have an amazing engine.

[FallacyofUrist]

Missiles, good sir. Did thou not see the battle report? Those improved missiles were able to penetrate our dropships' armor!

[~Neri]

So don't let the missiles hit.

Point Defense Drones.

[FallacyofUrist]

... that's what I said!

[~Neri]

I think you misinterpreted my solution suggestion as a why it went bad statement.

[Taricus]

Probably from wasteful I presume. While we could develop point defence, we can also concentrate on areas which don't have those missiles. We also still have a full strength battlegroup with which to bludgeon anything into submission for the time being, and given that south america is vulnerable to our influence, I think we should concentrate there.

For now though, I think we might need to design a worker unit to start building more production lines, or start conquering the more ill-defended areas.

 A missile that when shot or when it makes contact with the ground, releases green crystals into the ground. These turn the ground quickly into a substance similar to extremely strong quicksand, which is capable of breaking building foundations and vehicles, covering them quickly below.

That and the fact that you were attacking a defensive general, with a bonus to ground units, and then both anti air defenses rolled excellently, while you didn't. Also, missiles.

You know, we could just shoot things with lasers. Or develop some railguns that would destroy buildings and vehicles alike with a single shot.
