The sad truth is that we need to plant the flag at several more viable moons and asteroids so that we don't cede initiative and power to the remaining capitalist nations. Japan, India or hawaii launching a colonisation effort in Saturn's belt is not anything we can tolerate. Or any of the even worse imperialistic capitalistic nations remaining. Thoughts?

Here are my two proposals Proposal for the formation of the Psychonauts Corp quote:The Pyschonauts Corp shall be formed as an independent research division. They shall be given a budget comparable to that of other research divisions and a deadline of 5 years. At the end of that time a committee will meet to determine whether they have made or are making worthwhile contributions to the field of science or not. If the committee has determined they have failed to do so the division shall be closed.

For my first bill, I wish to submit the Cosmological Development Quantification Doctrine Put simply, this bill will Expand the economic ministry to handle the infrastructure development of unorganized space settlements. But, additionally, it will establish legislatively the ability for settlements who have breached the autonomous comintern development threshold of one million to create their own organizations for economic development, alongside giving them the ability to draw up plans for the handover of economic autonomy on their own terms. As a subsidiary, this will also create an inter-ministry committee to coordinate between MOSA and the economic ministry. In tandem with this it will create a department of the economic ministry to handle in tandem with MOSA, the granting of charters for spacebourne cooperatives and recognized allied programs, with the first priority being the granting of a charter to the Fraternal Order of Mars Finally, this committee will act as a task force to designate new sites for colonization and to begin the process.

Second Bill! The Comintern Statement of Condemnation towards False Treaties and Dismantlement of Economic Imperialism Act First, the Comintern shall state that "false treaties" such as those that spuriously "legalize" the forced economic repatriations, seizure of land, "leasing" of ports, colonization and seizure of native land, property and peoples, shall not be recognized by the Comintern. Second, the Comintern shall establish a Taskforce for the Dismantlement of Economic Imperialism whose duty it shall be to expand the IPRA, specifically targeting the repatriation of illegally stolen "reparations." First issue on the agenda: paying back the tribute levied on Haiti for freeing itself from slavery.

sheep-dodger posted:This seems like a loophole large enough to drive several intercontinental ballistic missiles through, since presumably any missile built for space based defence (be that surface to space or space to space) can also be weaponised on the planet. Idk how reliant we currently are on nukes, but this seems like it would undermine the rest of your proposal to me at least. i agree its a flawed part of the bill, but that was the compromise i had to add so the more militarily minded people were happy (ooc, its bc theres no missiles other than nuclear ones until way later in the tech tree and war people were Up In Arms that if we didnt have missiles the sky would fall or whatever. there Is some upcoming legislation to have our naval strategy be focused on fighters/bombers rather than long range missiles though, so we may still be able to avoid nukes in space god willing)

My third and final bill: Establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture Act This act will establish a new ministry, formed from departments of the economic ministry and environmental ministry. This ministry will operate according to four precepts, in order of general importance. 1. The securing of the food supply for the Comintern and humanity as a whole. I should not need to go into why this one is important. 2. The creation of and transition to ecologically non-damaging methods of food cultivation. We have a single world, already much damaged. According to many emerging economic and agricultural theories, much of our current agricultural base is heavily damaging to the environment and ultimately unsustainable. Therefore, we should move towards methods that do not damage, perhaps even enhance the environment. Incidentally, this is probably a prerequisite anyway: our space expansion efforts will require the ability to cultivate in the void and any attempts at terraforming will likely require these methods to be at all viable. 3. The securing of food sovereignty for each member of the Comintern. We are no capitalists: no nation should ever be in a position of dependency, forced to sell cash crops to survive. Nor should they be forced into the position of a breadbasket for others for the same. No nation should fear famine. 4. Research into urban greening and urban gardening/farming. Marx has told us of the necessity to bridge the urban-rural divide and with new technology and methods we can, should and must do this. And, if each nation may become secure in their food, perhaps each municipality can? It is a pipe dream, but who knows what the future holds?

sebmojo posted:what's the current status of our in-system exploration efforts? and with the new engines/scanners could we design and build a cheap, long range exploration ship to investigate further out? The Karzeleks have already geosurveed every body in the Solar System out to Neptune. Beyond that is stuff so distant the travel times get excessive and everything is remote and frankly, spooky. Minerva is a 14-month round trip for the Karzeleks, and we can only geosurvey it, no other sensors. To that end, I propose the drafting of designs for the next generation of Deep Space exploratory craft for a detailed survey of the Far Outer Solar System. A nice oppurtunity to work with our fancy next-gen nuclear thermal engines, all carrying geosurvey equipment, EM scanners, and a proving ground of these new-fangled active grav sensors we just got working. Let's clear the last few "Here Be Monsters" bits off the map.

The People's Republic of California proposes the following: California-Commintern Port Provision California's naval bases shall be made available for all Commintern ships to refuel, resupply, undergo repairs, and provide shore leave. Maritime Aid Act National navies shall be required to provide reasonable aid to Commintern naval forces at request. Computer Character Encoding Act Current computers use a standard set of characters from the latin alphabet, with hacks providing characters outside that set, each hack incompatible with each other. A group shall be created to devise a system that can represent all characters that is backwards-compatible with ASCII and can be extended as needed. Once created, all new computer systems shall use this encoding system. Older systems are not mandated to by updated, but should be done so if feasible to ease communication with newer systems. (so basically creating UTF-8 a five years early and getting it well adopted much much sooner)

Minor bodies Survey and Utilization Act We currently have the technological means to extract precious TNE-minerals from the minor bodies of our Solar system. I propose the design and construction of a testbed for asteroid mining, capable of independently surveying and mining objects in the asteroid belt and having sufficient endurance for longer mining-expeditions. This would supplement the Krusenstern Initiative by shouldering a part of the workload and will yield important minerals on the side as well as allowing us to gain proficiency with industrial processes in deep space.

paragon1 posted:Armed Spacecraft Proposal I commented on this before but that design needs maintenance storage bays or its going to jam like a motherfucker and make the fighters useless. Also OP mentioned they are not currently using the version that allows for that specific railgun type. For old time auroura players/readers the newer version introduced what was essentially a weapon jam or misfire roll each time the weapon fires, if you have maintenance supply points (MSP) then a very small amount of them get deducted and the weapon fires like normally. If you don't the weapon flat out breaks and needs to be repaired before it can be fired. This is an issue with fighters because at 5 second firing increments they are going to be making a lot of those rolls and each fighter that fails is now combat ineffective and only good for being a meat shield.
