oh. can I change the order then? space cannon can only be tanked with big ships right?
Space Cannon hits can be taken by any ship you'd like, unless Graviton Laser System is exhausted for the firing, in which only non-Fighter ships can be targeted. (Nekro has already used their Graviton Laser System charge for the round.)
As an additional timing note, Space Cannon Offense fire will occur after loading ground units to space, and before ground units are landed.
Since nothing else has happened, you can change your orders right now.

So hypothetically building infantry would allow my spaceships to get hit?
Activate Home system, Build 4 fighters
pay 1 Trade Good and sarween tools
It's the sheer act of activating the system that allows for the system to be targeted via Space Cannon Offense. (The timing step for it also comes before production.)
Jol-Nar is one card above the Action Card hand limit; they discard Direct Hit to comply with hand limits.
Jol-Nar draws two cards from the top of the Agenda Deck; they return one to the top of the deck, and one to the bottom.
@A Half Eaten Oreo to play or pass on the Politics Secondary; Sol is out of Strategy Pool tokens and so cannot play on the secondary.

It's 'why use the action now, when you can stall next round instead?'
I do expect to be wiped out at some point. There's nothing I actually need to stall for next round. I only stalled so much this round because I was hoping I'd get wiped out and Politics just wouldn't get played. I doubt whatever I end up with next round will matter much.
I can see that MrBody stated a pass on Sabotage attached to Phyphor's call, so Jol-Nar's action card goes through.
Jol-Nar has orders to play another Action Card, "Focused Research":
Focused Research Action: Spend 4 trade goods to research 1 technology.
4 Trade Goods are spent to research War Sun.
I don't think there's a need for a Sabotage play / pass call on this one, but I'll wait, let's say about six hours, before I come back to keep things moving.

Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Not really understanding the question here.
It's 'why use the action now, when you can stall next round instead?'
I do expect to be wiped out at some point. There's nothing I actually need to stall for next round. I only stalled so much this round because I was hoping I'd get wiped out and Politics just wouldn't get played. I doubt whatever I end up with next round will matter much.
So, smoke 'em while I got 'em.
Fair enough
Jol-Nar has orders to play another Action Card, "Focused Research":
