Tactic: Kill-Zones
Our fortification tactic is adequate with the amount of defensibility it provides, however whilst we make our ground more suitable, we do nothing to impede the enemy ground.
With this tactic, heavy guns (and potentially other explosives) will be used to destroy cover in an area around our fortifications, making the approach to our lines much more fraught in the absence of a PLACE gun covering that angle.

[Jilladilla]

Another idea:

Basic Camouflage Paint
Kasgyrite Airships have consistently gotten the drop upon us, only once have we managed onto them unprepared.

With this, we take more proactive measures in assuring that they won't so easily find us; our ships will be covered with a pale blue, almost white, paint; with which it should blend in much more effectively against the Mist below, the skies all around, and against clouds. Really, the only things it shouldn't blend in with are storm clouds off in the distance, the spires themselves, the sun, and if we somehow get our ship in between two of Kasgyr's without them noticing beforehand.

It should be noted, of course, that this one single color of paint cannot cover all eventualities, the Mist is more white while the sky is a pale blue after all; however, the paint will share greater similarity in color to the aforementioned things than brown wood or gleaming copper.

Demi-PLace

A PLACE cannon downsized to roughly half it's original size. Lowered weight and size means lowered cost and easier transportartion (for both men in tge field and ships). The Demi-place takes advantage from advances in the LAC to allow it to use an Itshana weapon crystal. Using such, it is as dangerous as a PLACE. Even without it, it remains dangerous.

[Jilladilla]

Huh... Yeah, the PLACE even at 2/3rds LAC power is still firmly in the 'ludicrous overkill' category huh?

PLACE Price
Chopping down the barrel to SUCKERPUNCH standard and shortening it, sacrificing unneeded accuracy for reduced cost, should lead to dramatic reduction in the cost of a PLACE. The lessened weight should also reduce the necessity for reinforcement on the support structure itself.

Dockyard Repairs V2
Building on the failures of last time, attempts are made to expand our dockyards to their full potential in whatever ways necessary.

The Aetheric Weathercasting service is the most important organisation in the Wrethian governement, tasked with the search of the near mythical aetheric storm. At least, that is what we tell them. In practice, it is a dead end, quartered in the furthest and highest end of Spire Wreth, where we reassign those bureaucrats who do not prefer to work with us. Without their interference, we can expand the dockyards.

The plan is the same as last time in general terms, but a focus is put on outfitting more slips and improving the basic structure of the existing ones as much as is possible with as little metal as possible.

New slips are drawn up, located to the sides of the existing slips.

Sites for large wooden cog and treadmill cranes are plotted, placed in such a way as to cover existing slips, and new slips placed beside them. These cranes will be used for building the new slips and, later, for building ships inside the slips.

Last but not least, the modified blueprints include lists of places where webbing may be hung, crystals installed to use as power asists.

Some fluff from me, some from Ebbor. In particular the opening paragraph is all him (I propose we keep the AWS in mind for later use...).

Notice that this doesn't actually do anything? This is simply drawing up plans to justify later infusions of materials. Basically this is revising our docks to allow buying more capacity and/or speed at a later date (say, next turn?). Obviously since revisions are free, we can't buy improvments directly as a revision.

I'm not voting for my proposal (yet), since I don't want to create a many-way tie...

@Madman: If you change over to my proposal move my vote too.
