That sounds good. I think the Saker is fine - it functions as it is supposed to, which is a precision laser. The other 3 dice can be spent on fixing the Kestral's targeting, making the Stellarator less volatile, and some cheap armour.

For me, I think we should go with making the reactor less volatile, Improving the Sakers fire rate, and at the very least patching the life support since we won't have any when we need to fight. We only have enough life support for 2 modules right now and a new life support system probably won't be done in time because we didn't do it this turn.

From what I understand, we have 4 revision dice. I think those 4 dice should be invested in improving the standard mining bay, fixing the Kestral (in general), making the Stellarator less volatile and said armor.

Life support improvements aren't something we'll need right now, given the Kestral IS autonomous, and we can't afford two more modules that would use that LS capacity we have right now. Currently, I'd go for an "Industrious" type plan with CECA, the Kestrel revision, RESET and the upcoming mining bay revision so we have an increased income on Jump 3. Otherwise, my proposal for what to do next turn still holds - we should invest dice to finish crucial projects and speed up the Mjolnir (so it's ready for Jump 4 at least) and fix whatever issues we can still afford to fix with the allotted dice.

Design: 'Kestrel' Point Defense Laser
-5 Power;  -1 LS Capacity;   -1 Skeleton Space
A "simple" Ark-wide laser defense system that fires at any Medium+-sized object not going insane speeds, with a 33% base chance to intercept. Shuts down without full power, and can be overwhelmed by lots of projectiles.
20 Noble Gases, 100 Metal, 250 Non-Metal

kestral uses lifesupport.
I'll breakdown the rest later, but it is not autonomous for the purpose of lifesupport.

I asked a while ago. Chief said he fucked up. Likewise for the AWIMP bay.

Ok then, That is something to mention first though.
Then I guess life support can wait for a little while. I do want to start one in the next design phase, even if the rest of our dice are used to speed everything up.

My rationale is that the Kestrel is a low-priority system right now, in comparison to fixing the reactor, armor and resource acquisition, and can be invested in next turn if we decide we want to finish the Kestrel now, instead of wait - which I'd really advise, as I don't think it would be worth it for Jump 3. I doubt we can get a point-defense system capable of taking down railgun / coilgun shots by then, and missiles are expensive and most likely time consuming to build, so we have no reason to believe they went for that over other options. Better to fix any issues that crop up, or get the resource advantage early on, than invest in a system we don't even know if we need functional urgently yet.

Long term, we want the Kestrel and we want it good, but I think other things have a bigger priority right now.
