D&D.Sci Long War: Defender of Data-mocracy

I would like one more day if no one objects. No big deal though, I may or may not have anything by tomorrow anyway. 
Thanks for posting! 
Love these challenges!!

I'm always happy to have more players: if you want more than one day that's not a big deal, I'm happy to delay until next week if you'd like.

Really enjoyed this puzzle, thanks again. 
I've been checking this site daily since 2/2 hoping for the next one. So I guess it had the added benefit of a tiny tiny traffic bump to LW.com (assuming that's a "benefit") 
Thanks for the fun challenge!

Sorry about that, reality got in the way; also, ended up scrapping my concept for the next one and my backup concept for it; no idea when it'll end up actually made (not necessarily this month), except that I plan to release on a Friday to do the standard "10 days with a choice of weekend" thing.

Tweaked my model, but I'm still not very confident. Anyway.. here's my current best guess. Hail to the Empress!

This puzzle is great, thanks again for posting! 

Here's my first pass at a solution. This is my first time coding a regression model, so I probably have a bug somewhere. None of these are close to 100%, maybe the puzzle is fiendish and the correct answer is "none" , or more likely I'm doing something wrong.  

If the ship were arriving right now, I would follow orders and NOT build anything. But... this is fun so I'm going to keep hacking and see what I can figure out.

Hi! 
I'm new here.  

Fun puzzle. I'll take a crack at this.  

So far I've reformatted the data a bit. Links to my reformatted data (and nothing else!) below.  In a spoiler tag in case that's a spoiler somehow?
