Summer, 1896, Design Phase.

It has come to the attention of the Magna Mongadizafra Imperial College that a number of researchers in the homelands are working on ways to send telegraph messages via the electromagnetic spectrum. It's an experimental technology right now, but if we can entice these individuals to our island the product of their work will be a massive boon to our naval communications.

Time: 1 | Progress: 6 | Expense: 5

Work on a wireless telegraph is something that will revolutionize the face of communication in warfare! The advanced and new field of technology that has recently been worked on by the likes of Guglielmo Marconi back in Italia. Still, while we know a handful of things on the subject with what's publically avalible, there's a lot of work that will need to be done until we are anywhere close to making something that will work at the ranges needed to be useful for fleet combat, as three thousand and a half yards is far too short to be of any real use for the navy, or even the army for that matter. Still, it's not going to be that costly to do our own experiments, and we've already made decent progress.

Wireless Telegraphy Research Grant | 6/30 | 2 PP per die | Rushed 0 times | 2 PP invested
Effectiveness: 6 | Cost: 5 | Bugs: 2

Early work has shown quite a bit of promise, with the final hertzian wave wireless telegraph system projected to be capable of a sizable range of at least 20 miles, more than enough for communication in a fleet, provided they aren't split up into different taskforces. Further, despite the somewhat complex nature of the new electrical components, the actual cost of the thing isn't going to be all that much really. The only issue will be getting specialists to maintain or make the thing but that really isn't that drastic of an issue in all honesty. There is however one major issue that has cropped up early on. The early prototypes aren't reliable. At all. The receiver seems to have issues in actually accepting the desired frequency, or rather more accurately filtering the undesired ones out. And the quality of the output has suffered significantly from this. However, it's currently unknown if this is in part caused by the transmitter not producing the right bandwidth of frequency desired or something else. Further, the actual antenna for the transmitter seems to have issues in actually working in windy weather and has broken a few times from strong enough winds. This isn't helped by the fact that the internals of the device are delicate too and a powerful kick or smack will usually cause the more delicate parts to break and also likely cause a short circuit. Still, we have plenty of time to work out the problems, given the nature of the project. 


Sevitava Motorworks SM1895 Torpedo (2 die spent. 0 rushed)

7+1+5=13

Work on the torpedo finishes just in time, although barely. Initial work was plagued with a few setbacks but thanks to extra allocated resources the project has managed to send it's designs off to the factories and businesses that will be providing the navy with it's new torpedoes. Needless to say, our engineers working on the project are relieved they no longer need to work on it, mainly due to the massive headache it gave them. Ideally more bugs won't crop up in it's use that we somehow missed, otherwise there likely will be quite a few engineers who will likely be in a livid burning rage at best.


It is now the Revision & Refit phase of Summer, 1896. You have 1 die remaining.

Lepidus class Light Cruiser: The Lepidus class is a blisteringly fast Light Armored Cruiser, or Light Cruiser, which has a good deal of armor that compliments it's speed. It's arguably undergunned but it's ability to pick it's fights, it's main prey being cargo ships, torpedo boat destroyers, and protected cruisers, should do enough to offset that. Especially with the addition of torpedoes. Costs 5/2, takes 4 seasons to build.
QF Refit (QFR): A simple replacement of the eligible smaller caliber guns to quick fire variants. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.
Armament Upgrade Refit (AUR): A upgrade that can be best defined as simply slapping more QF guns on the thing. Annoyingly, issues with regards to the fitting of the dual guns causes them to turn slower due to issues with the turntable and weight. Additionally, reduces the ships speed by roughly a knot. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.


Pompey Magnus Class Battleship:Arguably a miniature battleship, one that could be payed with whatever is in ones pocket compared to the price of true battleships, the Pompey Magnus class is...arguably mediocre. Yet, mediocracy in many numbers is a good thing. The ship is quite well armored and armed, though in part due to this it is slightly overweight, which could cause problems. Only costs 7/2, takes 6 seasons to build.
Refits of the Pompey Magnus Class:
Belt and Magazine Adjustments (BMA): Modification utilizing the overweight nature of the ship to cut down on the lower section of the belt in order to add a inch of armor to the rest of it, along with modification to the magazine in order to add another inch to the turret's armor.
QF Refit (QFR): A simple replacement of the eligible smaller caliber guns to quick fire variants. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.
Modernized (MOD): Modifications to the Belt and magazine, alongside the smaller caliber guns. Costs 1 PP to refit, takes 1 season to complete. Shipbuild cost same as original.

You know, I think we're fine, tbh. If there was anything that needed doing I assume someone would have brought it up by now

Only thing I can think of is throwing a die at the radio and well, that can wait. Better to have it on standby in case events in the near future mandate use.

Save 1 die : (2) Kashyyk, Nemonole

[Scholar Knight]

As far as the radio project is concerned, we have two options.
Spend 1-2 revision dice on it to fix the bugs and then push it out. It has good dice rolls all things considered for performance, effectiveness, and general cost.
Or as Kashyyk suggested, rush this project, get the experience on how radios work, and then follow that up with a project for a good functional radio right after that.

This would be a good way to burn a turn of dice that so far no one has suggested other stuff to be spent on until the drydock is finished. And gets us a pretty sizable advantage in terms of communication and coordination. My only concern with the latter plan is that making a new project after this might result in a slightly less effective version. Not to mention we can still bug fix a project after it is rolled out, since we haven't installed radios in any of our ships yet that would require a refit to fix.

To provide some more insight into some basic statistics on likelyhood of completion, have this:

Spoiler: Radio Project completion Chance and some thoughts (click to show/hide)

Radio Tech - 6/30
2PP per Dice

4 Dice - 000.08% chance of completion
5 Dice - 005.88% chance of completion
6 Dice - 027.94% chance of completion
7 Dice - 058.58% chance of completion

If we want to go past next turn's entire allocation of dice, we could Rush, which provides:

1 Rush, 8 Dice - 82.11% chance of completion, 1 coin flip for new bugs
2 Rush, 9 Dice - 94.04% chance of completion, 2 coin flips for new bugs

We could either try dumping all dice next turn for a coinflip chance of completion next turn. We could rush to get a decent chance or almost guaranteed chance of completing it. We could also split this up between 3 turns, 3 dice each turn to progress, and 1 or 2 dice in those turns to revise if we desire. Get it done likely in 2-3 turns.

Unless someone here has a particular project they would like to focus on next turn that the extra dice would be useful for, I'm of mind to spend the remaining dice this turn to at least try and bug fix some of the radio issues, since one way or another we are going to benefit from radio in the far future regardless of when it comes out, and having it out slightly early would be a massive advantage over the Veenlanders navy.

The only "issue" is that in 2 turns we will have a bigger dry dock, which we will likely want to preserve 4 dice to design an even bigger ship in. Which locks out 4 dice that could otherwise go towards completing the project.

[Kashyyk]

We currently have 11 Cruisers and 2 Battleships active. Our Cruisers are hella fast, so I think we can safely send two 3-ship Cruiser wolf packs to go raiding, asteroids heyll be able to escape anything scary enough to hurt. That would leave 5 Cruisers and both Battleships to serve as a beating stick/assault force to dominate a zone.

We should Refit the two damaged ships whilst they're still laid up, which leaves us with 14 PP, enough to start building two more ships. If we only Refit one, we could start 3 new Cruisers.

[Jilladilla]

We got 3 cruisers that aren't fully up to date that are leaving the docks this turn, not two. (The one under construction isn't the latest version with more guns, but does have modernized ones)

Battlegroup Sabina is then deployed to East to aid Marine forces in stiffening the crumbling resistance near Echtwaar and Drachvoort. They are to do this by engaging any sufficiently small enemy naval forces that are themselves trying to render aid to enemy land forces, and then raiding every enemy troop convoy, supply ship, and anything else of that sort that can be found.

We're getting a large influx of crusiers soon. If we can slap a few more of their ships down before then and their inevitable counter-deployment We're golden, and for that we need to be present in as many theaters as possible.

Add More Guns That'll Solve It: (1) Madman,

While there is something that can be said to stick together, with the influx it's better to check both sides to hit as many as possible, I think. As is a single large group is more likely to miss ships or be avoided.

[Madman198237]

I would argue that right before the moment where we get a large number of reinforcements isn't actually when you want to force a conflict, you'd want to force it right AFTER you get the reinforcements.
