[23:05] We've started. [23:05] probe foil, in the west, 2 moves, pod right next to it, pod or wait? [23:06] DBTS said "wait until it has full moves". Drogue though, I don't know. [23:06] i agree with the wait [23:06] i'm exploring around it [23:06] That makes three of us. [23:06] * Adam^DSci nods. [23:17] Still exploring? [23:19] changing build and former orders [23:19] almost done [23:19] ending turn :relief: [23:22] what were the orders for the trance laser skimships? [23:22] got it! [23:27] ack, mindworm popped [23:27] mw is nw of probe foil...run i suppose [23:27] * Adam^DSci nods. [23:27] *** TKG|DIA has joined #smacdg [23:27] That sounds reasonable. [23:27] Hey TKG! [23:27] what'd i miss? [23:27] hey TKG [23:28] Some probe exploring . . . mind worms. [23:28] ran east, ended up just south of another pod [23:28] no important decisions i was needed on? [23:28] not yet [23:28] good. i might not stay though [23:31] er..where is that NS CP supposed to go? [23:31] maniac? [23:31] did you poll that? [23:31] yes [23:31] :relief: [23:31] err no I mean [23:31] crap [23:31] just move it SE and i'll poll it later [23:32] There are still a few future base coordinates coordinates free [23:32] heh, ok [23:32] or now, whatever [23:32] it's not as if we'll be building the base now, is it? [23:32] well, yeah, the pod is finished [23:32] Southeast sounds good . . . there are two potential base sites there. [23:32] ok then.... [23:33] on second [23:33] The location I polled has been occupied by Morgan... [23:33] (6,108) is still free. [23:34] from suez you say? [23:34] yes [23:34] there will be a base on 5,113 [23:34] so 6,108 wouldn't work [23:34] I don't know - just telling what the polls told me. :cute: [23:35] 19, 107? [23:35] there's a sensor there [23:35] another CP is going there [23:35] between tass ans mysid [23:35] crap [23:35] We could reroute that one to 6.108 [23:35] ?? [23:35] how 'bout we demand morgan mines? :ecute: [23:36] no, cos another cp is already headed for 5,113, there would be one huge overlap [23:36] What about 28, 112? [23:36] 19,113? [23:36] 3 south of the sensor [23:36] that could work [23:36] Both that and 34, 108 are free. [23:36] I know. For that reason I was surprised people preferred 5.113 over 5.115 [23:36] 28,112 is good [23:37] quickpoll: [23:37] 1)28.112 [23:37] yes, 28,112 :b: [23:37] 2)19,113 [23:37] 3)34,108? [23:37] 4)abstain [23:37] 1 [23:37] 4) [23:37] 5)SELF DESTRUCT IT!!! [23:37] ooh, 5! [23:37] ;) [23:38] 1 [23:38] 6) wait and poll [23:38] 3 [23:38] uh, that [23:38] well where do we move it till then? [23:38] put it in mysidia i guess [23:38] ok, 6 [23:38] yep, s [23:38] south I guess [23:38] south it goes [23:38] It won't get further then the road split 23.103 anyway so I suppose [23:39] in this turnchat [23:39] yep, that's where i'm sending it [23:39] Okay then. [23:39] cool, turn complete [23:39] MY 2110? [23:39] where there any pressing matters in 2209, rushing iirc? [23:39] Not to my knowledge. [23:40] oh, that was in 2210, maniac's order [23:40] If MY 2110, I'd like to request rushing the Pandemonium rec commons and the upgrade of the Sheathed Sword garrison. :-) [23:40] indeed [23:40] talking to hive..see what he demands [23:40] How many minerals does Pande have in 2210? [23:41] demanded 675 credits.. [23:41] hahaha [23:41] pande, 7 minerals now [23:41] in 2209? [23:41] acquired in the production box? [23:41] oooh... [23:41] still 7 :) [23:42] Ah ok! :-) [23:42] MY 2210 [23:42] thanks [23:42] my final turn [23:42] has Pande boomed to size 5? [23:43] just a minute [23:43] ok [23:44] pande has 5 pop [23:45] Great! :b: [23:45] rush rec commons? [23:45] Everything's going according to plan. :-) [23:45] yep [23:45] to prevent riots [23:46] and please upgrade the scout patrol to police infantry in Sheathed Sword. I got permission from DBTS by PM. [23:46] ok [23:47] not synthmetal? [23:47] I don't want to ruin the coffers of our faction. :-) [23:47] (there is also a synth police) [23:47] heh, ok [23:47] we got 1068 credits ;) [23:47] hmm... Interesting. :expect: [23:48] synth...or normal? [23:48] TKG, perhaps you could divide some money over the regions. [23:48] normal is fine by me! [23:48] k, normal it is. [23:48] ok, i didnt' see the end of that poll maniac.... [23:49] Poll? Where it was decided to let the DIA decidde on dividing all money? [23:50] You mean the budgeting poll... decided to budget based on need, as I recall. [23:50] idd [23:50] Presumably the DIA is the one who assesses need. [23:51] Indeed. But I presumed we wouldn't let our reserves grow indefintely and use some for rushing if none is needed for other emergencies. [23:51] Maniac: Sorry? [23:51] ? [23:52] I agree, but I consider the war with the Hive an emergency. And we don't yet have an estimate on the cost to Mind Control the southwestern bases. [23:53] hmm..., here's the situation: a trance foil can attack a IoD, with 7 to 8 odds, if it waits it will get 50% def bonus when defending, wait, or attack? [23:53] Are we going to probe that? :scared: I didn't know that. [23:53] Can it run? [23:53] It's in the long range plans. Not imminant. [23:53] it can run, but i tihnk it will be stronger on the defensive [23:54] the IoD is several tiles w of our bases [23:54] East! [23:54] ? Doesn't psi combat give you a bonus to attack, not defend? [23:54] Oh, Trance. [23:55] Well, if you defend you and the IoD will get a 50% bonus. If you attack, only you will get the bonus. [23:55] ?? [23:55] Because the attacker always gets that bonus in psi attack. [23:55] not on water [23:55] water = 1 vs 1, right? [23:55] Not in water? Okay, I stand corrected. [23:55] idd [23:56] * Lemmy|AT reminds Maniac "idd" is dutch [23:56] * TKG|DIA wonders what idd is [23:56] indeed [23:56] abbrevation [23:56] Okay. Thanks. [23:56] so we wait then.. [23:58] Sounds good. [23:59] whee, turn complete [00:00] Yay, skimship killed the IoD, and we got HEC [00:00] Finishing now? [00:00] Okay. [00:01] Next tech should be Environmental Economics. [00:01] Can we get that? [00:01] dunno yet, it gives me popups about unit designs.. [00:01] gtg [00:01] *** TKG|DIA has quit IRC [00:01] Okay. [00:01] Bye TKG [00:01] available options: [00:02] :expect: [00:02] Doc Init, Cen Emp, Adv SubAtomic Theory, Neural Grafting [00:02] that's it [00:02] no EE, no SFF [00:03] great [00:03] bad [00:03] Ack. [00:03] And TKG left... [00:03] CentEmp or Neural Graft seems cool... [00:03] could the research be changed in the same turn without loss? [00:03] Well, Centauri Empathy was the third choice in the last poll... with four votes. [00:04] Maybe. Let's set a preliminary tech and I'll poll for the real one. [00:04] Cen Emp souds good [00:04] Do [00:04] :b: [00:04] If we change research goals, do we keep the same options? [00:04] yes [00:04] yep [00:05] not the same research points though... [00:05] How many have we already acquired? [00:05] chosen Cen Emp, it would cost 14 rp to switch [00:05] half of the 28 accumulated [00:05] thanks [00:06] Quickpoll: a)DocInit b) CentEmp c) AdvSubatom d) NeurGraft [00:06] Ack too late. [00:06] That's what I'd have voted for anyway. [00:06] me to :) [00:06] posting savegame
