I don’t even known if thats a real quote but Im too brain washed enough to care 
Anyone who has played Terra Invicta should be well aware how helplessly naive such presumption/plan would be. :v

Quite funny, that is word-for-word the exact plot of Watchmen (1986) by Alan Moore.
The comic was in fact written during Regan’s presidency, and features a senile Nixon who’s been voted president 5 times.
I believe it’s one of the classics. You should try it if you like graphic novels.

Speaking of terra invicta. There should be factions in society right?. I mean humanity no matter what can’t be a hive mind yes they might all agree on defence against aliens but how?. That will likely results in atleast a few factions and those should obviously effect military just like any real nation or federation. Even in terra invicta there are two factions who wants to fight the aliens and defeat then and they don’t exactly see eye to eye, like resistance and humanity first. Will we get a taste of inner political mechanisation inside the military in future chapter’s.

Or just alt-history. Great Graphic Novel either way.
The movie was okay.

It’s a good question. Might be worth exploring in a patreon article at some point. A Patreon that might be on the horizon here very soon…

There are no factions, the collective of AI hooked up to mega computers keeps us unified and happy. It was opposed at first but desperate times call for desperate measures and now everything is fine. (Just kidding, there’s evidence the ai suck still)

I’m enjoying my Resistance playthrough, as the more politically savvy spec-ops team that got over 6 billion people under control ostensibly without committing a single atrocity.

@T_Chaney I don’t want to make you accidentally give out spoilers, but what would Chapter 4 entail when it is released.

What is the percentage of people of the total crew working in different sectors of the ship. I mean if we don’t take Marines a ship of what basically suppose to have 500 crew only have 20 on board security so 4-5 percent of the total crew is active security. And how is it different for every ship size. Since corvette with 50 crew will be very different.

Chapter 4 has a little bit of everything. A bit of downtime with the crew, additional options for training and further refining your command, and then a major event near the end that will put your past choices to the test.
All of this you will hopefully see pretty soon, as I am actually done writing Chapter 4 as of this week. That said, don’t expect it too soon as I still need to edit, randomtest, quicktest, long test (a couple manual playthroughs to make sure everything looks good), and otherwise polish the thing.
I’m also planning to release a patreon when I drop Chapter 4, so if that’s something that you may be interested in, you have that to look forward to as well.
It would vary from ship to ship, but as a general rule, Weapons and Engineering makes up the majority of the crew assignments. The rest are spread rather evenly over the rest of the departments. Life Support, Maintenance, Computing, Operations, ect.
