Scouts needed...

[Lemmy]

We lost both our scout in the last session, and i think we should rebuild at least one to explore east.
NA is almost done with the former (2 turns), and a scout would only cost 5 turns to build after that, less if we work the mineral tile.
So where do you think we should build the new scout?

[Hercules]

I 've caught up with the game now. I agree about need for scout built at where you suggest. (Obviously the natives haven't taken to kindly to our faction's rumoured attitude towards them so far.

[- Groucho -]

I agree - NA should build a scout and push back the border to our east down the landbridge - we are too far along to have an unknown that close to our capital. For all we know the spartans are out there.

i agree we need a scout in NA and after the former build in TBIBTU we need to build a scout there too. Lemmy ask the DBP for those scouts we need to explor this new planet as soon as possible

[moomin]

I agree to. Going east has been my slogan for a long time

A official poll, perhaps?

[DeathByTheSword]

east is ok right now but we need more scouts anyways for the souther part too and we i think 4 more scouts (that dont die) will be a minimal right now we dont know anything about the other factions that landed on planet and we need to know where they are

[Maniac]

*Four* scouts! Where will you get the minerals this early? We only have three bases right now. And I do hope each base will have 1.5 formers in the future, meaning that half our bases would support a garrison and two formers, and the other half a garrison, a former and a scout. I say we have enough knowledge of Planet (except East) to settle a few bases before sending out several explorers becomes necessary again.

It feels good not having to take the wishes of EDP and TSA in account for once.

[DeathByTheSword]

very simple from every base you get one scout that explores as soon as possible we have 3 bases and base 4 location is known.....just a matter of time

[Maniac]

How much formers would you build then?

[DeathByTheSword]

one per base before the scout. after that i dont care but always a garrison/cp/former (NA % TBIBTU are building them right know)/SCOUT

[Maniac]

Hmm well perhaps someone should poll about this before the next playsession. In a poll I posted ages ago there was a clear majority for more than one former per base.

[Darkness' Edge]

I'm only for rebuilding the two original scouts.

One of them should be built in TBIBTU, and one at either of the other two.

[moomin]

I too don't want do more than replace. So long as one of them heads out the landbrige way.

[Pandemoniak]

Lets explore east, by any way.

[Mellian]

I want to explore the east because i want to check out that lovely Volcano while we were planetfalling.... do you think it is Mount Doom?

Anyway, explore the east and establish a panama base...after replacing the units, at the least, as i am up for building more explorers then that as well...which they can be use for defence as well if i may add. But better off waiting until we acquire Doctrine: Mobility, if we haven't yet despite the Rovers near the Recreation Commons and the future site for our Recycling Tanks. I am more keen to have mobility for fast exploration then slow mo Scout Patrols.
