Official: Foreign Affairs: Policy toward the University

[Method]

well they do seem to have a surprisingly high tech rate somehow, on top of probing the UoP.

Though I'm normally in favor of freedom of information, I'd recommend we hold off on the trade for now. Anything that denies our enemies a useful tool for a time will further our chances, and thereby Zakharov's chances, in the long run. The University does not have the industrial resources to take advantage of the Comm Jammer. The Hive does, and from its underground bunkers this technology would likely be dangerously effective. As long as we hope to wage offensive war as well as one of defense and covert action, every year the Hive is not able to build a Comm Jammer boosts our probability of eventual victory.

I agree with Adam - hold back AST for now.

[GeneralTacticus]

So, we hold off on giving it to him until we relocate him to one of our bases?

[Cedayon]

Until either Yang has it somehow, or until Yang can't steal it from the Uni. I think the point is clear, in any event.

Does anybody know if the Comm Jammer works against air units?

only against fast units, ie speeders and hovertanks. they have AAA for air.

[GeneralTacticus]

Does Yang have AAA? I hope not.

[Method]

if he has needlejets, yes he has

[GeneralTacticus]

...?

That's SAM. AAA is from Advanced Military Algorithms, which isn't necessary for D:AP.

[Drogue]

Didn't we steal AAA from Yang? I think he has it.

[Archaic]

A better question is, is he using it? The AI isn't known for AAA units.

oh, it is?

archaic, i've seen the AI use AAA before. and quite a lot, at that.

According to current intelligence he currently has no units with either SAM or AAA. He is building a fairly large land force of missile units though...

No, we acquired it from the University through diplomacy (for Nonlinear Mathematics).
