+++++++++++++ Policy Vote for the 2120s +++++++++++++

Industrial Focus
A. Exo-operation – Continue to pursue industrial production that can be utilized in off-world mining and colonization efforts. Infrastructure will be mass-produced, mass-drivers made and deployed alongside automated mines. Terraforming Stations will at last be produced and tugged into place. We will design a new high capacity colony ship to vastly increase colony growth.

Off World Colonies
B. Improvement – We must make our current colonies larger and more functional. We need to develop their native industries, or at least get them exporting vital TN minerals. Freeshire should become self sufficient and be able to host a fleet.

Exploration – Recent years have seen exploration continually cause us problem, should we continue?
B. Isolationism – Exploration has only brought us new foes, we should cease all exploration and focus on the situation in front of us. Let’s not make this any worse than it already is.

The Fleet - The Gladius, Zeus, and Artemis class vessels are all 20 years old, what should be done about them?
B. Refit – With some smart refits we can squeeze another decade of life from these ships, they may not be ideal, but at least they function. An economical refit won’t produce the best vessels, but it will be far cheaper than commissioning brand new ships. The FACs will still likely need simple replacement.

Tech Focus – what should be the focus of a major technological push?
B. Industrial Capacity – We will research tech that increases our construction, mining, shipyard maintenance, and fuel refining.
