My opinion: we should complete our star base and our research lab first.

This. Assuming we're talking fed-side.

Also, not sure how I feel about having outside groups involved in our armada, unless we're gonna lock things up a bit. Our projects fill fast enough now that it's hard to catch an open one at any given time unless you sit there and camp it. I think we need to address that issue before doing any armada stuff.
