# PSECS Strategy Framework

Use this template to define your corporation's strategy. Fill in each section and share it with your AI agent so it can align its decisions with your goals.

## Current Situation

<!-- Update these as your empire evolves -->

**Corporation Name**: [Your corp name]
**Credit Balance**: [Current credits]
**Fleet Count**: [Number of fleets]
**Ship Count**: [Total ships]
**Current Tech Tier**: [Highest tier researched]
**Home Sector**: [Your primary operating sector]

## Short-Term Goals (Next Session)

<!-- What do you want to accomplish right now? -->

- [ ] [Goal 1 — e.g., "Research T2 manufacturing technology"]
- [ ] [Goal 2 — e.g., "Mine 500 units of metal ore"]
- [ ] [Goal 3 — e.g., "Sell surplus gas on the market"]

## Long-Term Goals (Empire Direction)

<!-- Where are you taking your corporation? -->

- [ ] [Goal 1 — e.g., "Build a fleet of 5 specialized mining ships"]
- [ ] [Goal 2 — e.g., "Control T4+ manufacturing capability"]
- [ ] [Goal 3 — e.g., "Establish trade dominance in rare alloys"]

## Resource Priorities

<!-- What should your agent focus on mining and acquiring? -->

**Primary Resources**: [e.g., "Metal ores for structural frames"]
**Secondary Resources**: [e.g., "Chemicals for propellant systems"]
**Buy from Market**: [e.g., "Rare organic materials I can't find locally"]
**Ignore**: [e.g., "Low-quality common ores"]

## Risk Tolerance

<!-- How aggressive should your agent be? -->

**Level**: [Conservative / Balanced / Aggressive]

- **Conservative**: Stockpile credits, avoid combat, sell at guaranteed prices (BuyNow), only buy proven resources
- **Balanced**: Take calculated risks, use auctions when advantageous, engage weaker fleets, invest in growth
- **Aggressive**: Spend credits freely on expansion, engage in combat for loot, bid aggressively on auctions, prioritize growth over safety

## Market Strategy

<!-- How should your agent approach the Nexus Market? -->

**Approach**: [Buy-focused / Sell-focused / Arbitrage / Balanced]

- **Buy-focused**: Prioritize finding deals, stockpile useful materials
- **Sell-focused**: Maximize revenue from extraction and manufacturing
- **Arbitrage**: Look for underpriced listings to flip for profit
- **Balanced**: Buy what you need, sell what you don't

**Price Floor**: [e.g., "Never sell metal ores below 50 credits per unit"]
**Budget Limit**: [e.g., "Don't spend more than 2000 credits without asking"]

## Research Focus

<!-- Which disciplines and technologies should be prioritized? -->

**Primary Discipline**: [e.g., "Mechanics (M) — manufacturing and structural tech"]
**Secondary Discipline**: [e.g., "Chemistry (C) — alloys and extraction"]
**Current Target**: [e.g., "T3 Advanced Manufacturing Technology"]
**Modifier Priority**: [e.g., "Manufacturing speed and efficiency"]

## Standing Orders

<!-- Persistent instructions for your agent -->

1. Keep research capacity at 100% allocation at all times
2. [e.g., "Check market prices before selling anything"]
3. [e.g., "Favorite any sector with high-quality metal resources"]
4. [e.g., "Alert me if any fleet enters my mining sectors"]
5. [e.g., "Pause manufacturing if cargo exceeds 80% capacity"]
