>Funding
I say go for the whole 20%, we have money, may as well use it.
>Institutions
I'm not sure myself.
The positives are self evident, and it may even be a reputational boon. However, the negatives are that we would be trapped in a sense, associated with Artemis Accords. Ask yourself, why do we have the authority to enforce the Artemis Accords, if we ourselves are not a signatory? By using this rationale to justify ourselves, we de facto legitimize the Accords on behalf of our consortium and respective nations. Furthermore, the Artemis Representative can trap us, either we sign or she says that we were a rogue actor that had nothing to do with the Accords and were lying to get access to various space NGOs data. We also confirm to Russia that we were responsible for their ails, though they'll soon have bigger worries once we reveal the internals of the spacecraft and move into Russia proper.
Moreover, by publically declaring Accords enforcement, I think we might be creating the expectation that we...y'know, hand over the captured satellite for inspection or something. But my personal reason for agreeing to this mission was for access to the technology contained within our target, getting the Representative to give us something is great if the deal follows through, but I'm not sure she'll keep up her end of the bargain. Hence asking for collateral, I expect betrayal.
So, I'm leaning towards no for the institutions boost. Maybe we can get a partial boost from privately asking India and Indonesia, and other Global South countries for tracking support?
>Exo armour, drone swarms.
Might be very costly, building out a PMC force capable of being relevant on the operational level is a long term, high cost endeavour imo. I wanna do it, but I'm not sure we can afford it all at once.
>Morotai
That works for me, that way we aren't sharing Biak's throughput with Indonesia, and Indo gets a second major spaceport in the future when our lease expires or whatever. They are currently focusing on Biak.
>China collapse
I think tens of millions will die at a minimum if they do, and I'm not sure there is anyone who could step in. I don't mind breaking a few eggs to make our ideal omelette though. This has to be done carefully, and I'd rather sequence their potential downfall after we take care of America and Russia. America is our biggest threat institutionally, and that shapeshifting woman our biggest private frenemy.
