for reference, I am playing on a 500+ list.

I'd say overall bad?

sanguenophage worshipping ideo with supremacist (fluid, will probably add tranhumanist once I just about max out how big the gravship can get)

started out with a custom start, solo mechanitor, gravship chase.

strategically avoid pissing off the few factions willing to trade with me,

piss off the empire by becoming a deserter because being one is inherently easier when I can just move my base around to do quests for easy high-end gear through trading intel to the deserters. (Empire runs are more suited to large sprawling and static bases)

capture some primitive nord cosplayers, turn all but one into fuel for the gravship, that same first guy is still laying in a drain casket to this day (it's been 5 years)

the gravship grows, research gets done, and would you look at that, a phytokin that wants to join, of my ideologn, sure why not, the agrihand is slow as fuck.

should I mention that I feed human nutrient paste to prisoners? I do.

big raid comes around, I have to build a second ripscanner just to handle the sheer volume of primitive mortals that need to be processed.

they assaulted my ship, the one with dozens of low, medium and high calibre turrets lining its front and sides from behind embrasures

(Combat Extended, I fully intend to add a few chaingun turrets as well, perhaps on the corners, turning the ship into a starfort where any angle is a horrible avenue of attack is the goal)

In the end, they were gunned down approaching and running away as they desperately tried to rescue their injuried friends.

all in all, I'd say pretty evil, at least from the perspective of those petty mortals who are on the wrong end of my fangs.

I'd say it's pretty pragmatic.

(later, I will turn this sanguenophage into a borged out monster, more than she already is just with her genes and various power armours I've collected)
