Yeah, but as mentioned by others that's not the tone the blog post takes.
I did pay a fair bit of attention to the in-game lore, and I had the impression that Andrada was a semi-decent and very talented if massively full of himself man, probably an improvement over the previous system government initially (which says more about them than about him), but was moving along the scale from cult of personality to totalitarian dictator with impressive speed. The complexity came from the bit where he WAS actually pretty competent and a good military and civil leader etc. He's just...a totalitarian dictator, and trending downward.
The proposed presentation, as others have mentioned, lacks nuance compared to the other factions and also isn't particularly interesting. It also raises the question of how the hell Sindria has been able to survive. If nothing else, you'd think the Luddic Path and Pirates would be causing them some serious problems if their military is less effective than everyone else's. Also, if crew casualties are going up overall, that WILL be noticeable, and will be the sort of thing the dictatorial high admiral wants something done about. If it caused some other problem (or even just made maintenance more expensive) I could see it. Having it actually do the opposite of what he planned makes him look like an idiot who doesn't understand the job that made him a dictator in the first place.
If he was going to make some kind of major military oversight, I'd expect him to insist on using and outfitting the existing ships the way the Hegemony ships they replaced were outfitted. That seems like it'd give the Sindrian military character, and is making it less efficient, without it being the kind of less efficient that makes him look like an idiot or seems out of character for a Hegemony military genius. Alternately, he goes TOO all-in on energy weapons etc, which works fine near Sindria because the sun takes out people's shields, but can cause problems when they leave the system. I dunno. Something that involves him over-emphasizing his strengths, rather than making stupid mistakes.
