>>6229975 I would go for one big player near us. Someone that can throw some weight around, giving us time to grow on our own. Anyone you mention can work, and we do a similar approach we did with Accakaros and try and make them our friends/allies. For example we are slowly doing it with the Astral Claws (even if Marines probably like to forge friendships and alliances in the battlefields. Its the ultimate test for see if the actions match the words said).
Despite our production level i don't feel like we have yet a "political" weight so to speak. We have definetly something going.
>>6229984>AccakarosAnd their situation was still not that great despite that due to the Tithe (and we are improving Accakaros right now for help them). I don't trust the Administratum to not ask for more if we did that, because if we are in their pants why wouldn't they demand for more if we made something great like that ? And they would likely also bother us just because we terraformed a moon in a relatively quick time and made it a full efficient operation for production of food that doesn't look like a putrid hellhole. Maybe we can make the same justification we had for the orbital ring. It was already there just mothballed and needed to be activated etc...
>>6230047I wouldn't mind making more friends. Especially important ones. We are already doing politics and diplomacy with multiple humans we find. Be another Forge World or the local sector cardinal (not sure if our sector as a shrine world). I am not against doing it with the Administratum local branch it self either. Anything for get out of the current situation. Left as it is, it will grow on and on until there is a breaking point.
Also yeah we definetly want to establish a diplomatic corps/ambassadors. The situation here proved its need.
>>6230466Trading posts could be an idea. But we would need to make a trade fleet to go behind them, and a military fleet for protect it. But it would increase our reach though, in terms of power, resources and profits. It will be a good idea once we get affitional fleets to throw around.
