Orders for turnchat 2256-2263, 2200 GMT Saturday

[GeneralTacticus]

The chat will be held on the apolyton server at 2200GMT on Saturday. If posible, please try to turn up early; the earlier we can start, the quicker we will finish.

Preliminary Orders for Akiria, 2256-

Requests to the DIA
Rush requests as follows:
Requested immediately (in order of priority):

Requested in one turn (on 2257):
- Network Node in Espirito del Aqua in 1 turn with 10 mins over (whatever it takes )

edit - I also have two Sea formers (foil chassis) that I want upgraded to Super, not sure what it'd cost. Not much, though.

Workers

(New Tassagrad worker orders are given in the Operation)

- After the Node is done, check if the other Empath can be put to work too.

Cyclops
- Switch the worker on the farm/solar square (N NW of the base) to a forest square
- After the Network Node is done, check if the Empath can be put to work.

Espirito del Aqua
- Move the worker E SE of the base to the harness square E NE of the base
- Put one of the Empaths to work on the harness square S of the base
- Make sure the harness square SW SW of the base remains clear for New Tassagrad to work.

New Workers
- Just put 'em somewhere reasonable (possibly specialist duty if it's called for), or ask me 'cause I'll be in the turnchat this time


Operation WholeMessOCrawlers

Turn 1 ('56)

New Tassagrad:
-Change production from Xenoempathy Dome to Fusion Speeder Supply (accept min loss)
-Change Queue to FSS, FSS, FSS, FSS, Xenoempathy Dome, Needlejet (pick the model), Hybrid Forest
-Move the worker on the farm/solars just S of the base to the kelp farm/harness square (N NE of base)
-Change the crawler at (9,105) (W W N of base) from nutrient crawling to mineral crawling.
-Change the crawler at (12,108) (SW of base) from nutrient crawling to mineral crawling.
-Move the crawler at (11,113) (S S S W of base) to (11,111) (N from there) and crawl minerals.

Aurora:
-Change production from Research Hospital to Fusion Speeder Supply (accept min loss)
-Change Queue to FSS, FSS, Needlejet (pick the model), Hybrid Forest
-Please use ec's to fill in the 3 or so mins to make sure the FSS finishes in 1 turn (no need to do overrun, since Aurora will have 15 min production and thus produce an FSS in exactly 2 turns anyway).

Where to put the crawlers (always displace workers, preferably to forest, use discretion if no forest is available):
New Tassagrad:
#1: move S SE to the mine square and crawl minerals
#2: move SE and crawl minerals
#3: move NW and crawl minerals
#4: move S and crawl minerals
#5: move out (along a road) and immediately back in to be cashed in for the XD.

Aurora:
#1: move SW to the nut bonus square and crawl nuts
#2: move S and crawl minerals
#3: move to NT to cash in for the XD.

What to do with the 5-former group that starts S SE of New Tassagrad:
Send 1 (The Tacticus Academy Former) to the condensor square NW NW of New Tassagrad to add a soil enricher, when it's done I return it to control of the Centralis Governor.
Send 2 to the farm/solar square S of New Tassagrad to replace the current stuff with forest
Send 2 to the farm/solar square S SW of New Tassagrad to replace the current stuff with forest
(I have other tasks for the last 4 formers, but they are irrelevant to the plan)

Turn 6 ('61)
New Tassagrad should be building the Xenoempathy Dome now, probably with 10 mins leftover from the last crawler. (10/300)
-Cash in the two newly built FSS's (1 from NT, 1 from Aurora) (70/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's S of NT (100/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's SE of NT (130/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's NW of NT (160/300)
-Cash in the normal crawler that's SW of NT (190/300)
-Cash in the normal crawler at (11,111) (S S W of NT) (220/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's SW of Aurora (250/300)
-Cash in the FSS that's S of Aurora (280/300)
NT's mineral production should be enough to fill in the rest and finish the Dome by the next turn ('62)

Turn 7 ('62)
*ding* Project's done!

[Cedayon]

I'll be at home this weekend, so I'll be in the turnchat... and I'll be there hours ahead of time, for starting-early purposes

[Method]

if you're thinking of getting op status, perish the thought

i'll look at your orders when i have more time

I wouldn't know how to use it ... my first use of IRC was that turnchat some 3 weeks ago, and I haven't had practice at this $&@#(*&%@^%*@$#&@&%*$@&%*($# port-blocking university

i'll look at your orders when i have more time

All the requests (3 rushes, 2 upgrades) are at the top... though I'm likely to ask for a few small rushes during the turnchat, just to speed things up.

edit- one more thing about my orders you might care about: I'm returning that Zanarkand Gate former south of Cyclops to your control, after it puts up a Sensor array (I could skip that too, if you really need that).

[Method]

i thought i stole it back last chat?

You took two of them back, but there's still one down there, apparently doing work for me

[Method]

really? i thought i got them all
/me snaps his fingers in disappointment

Total: 584 ec
I'd prefer the Terminal Dogmatic hybrid forest, which should already have been constructed, hurried too, but whatever...

Build queues

As Hercules didn't post his full list of desires for a Hive invasion, I did not put military units in the queues.

Change that one worker on a sea square into an engineer in each base.

Supply crawlers

-convoy minerals

Terminal Dogmatic supply speeder under construction
-move to Sheathed Sword
-rehome to ShSw
-move to (16.62)
-convoy minerals

Formers

Instead of giving former orders, I'll just give a list of what terraformation I would want in the end, as the list of detailed former orders would become too long now they can perform double the work as before. Please tell me if you want the other order format after all. If you want me to make a picture with this list put into symbols on a map of Jedinica, I'll do so.

All sea tiles: kelp farm, tidal harness
(12.60) N of ShSw: road, borehole
(11.63) SW of ShSw: road, condenser, soil enricher
(12.64) S of ShSw: road, borehole
(11.67) NW of Pan: road, condenser, soil enricher
(11.69) SW of Pan: road, condenser, soil enricher
(16.66) W of TeDo: road, mine
(14.68) E of Pande: road, mine
(19.67) SE of TeDo: road, condenser, soil enricher
(22.68) E-E-S of TeDo: road, condenser, soil enricher
(21.69) SE-SE-SE of TeDo: road, condenser, soil enricher

(9.77) SW-SW of Con: forest
(7.75), (6.76), (7.77), (8.78): road, condenser, soil enricher

I hope that will suffice.

Thanks.

Directory of Foreign Affairs Orders MY 2256-2263

Not many pressing decisions to make, though follow these general guidelines in regards to foreign affairs:

1) Always accept the incoming transmission from another faction;
2) If a faction that we are currently at war with demands technology, laugh in their face;
3) If a faction that we are currently at was with demands energy credits, laugh in their face, unless of course it is a reasonable amount (meaning anything below 100ec); &
4) Attempt to pass the Global Trade Pact in the UN, if necessary bribe someone to change their vote in our favour (but only if their request is reasonable).

[Voltaire]

Ok orders done. I will attempt to make it to the turnchat on Saturday, though most likely if I do make it I’ll be about an hour late (I have model UN Sat and Sun, and I’m the ambassador for China ).

IF A FORMER IS DONE THESE ORDERS, DO NOT SEND THEM TO WORK AT ANOTHER BASE. USE YOUR JUDGEMENT, AND HAVE THEM IMPROVE THEIR HOME BASE

Crawlers
10,92 UNPD crawler
-i don't care what you do, just get rid of it. use it to rush a project, perhaps.

14,96 trawler
-send to 20,104 and trawl nutrients (if cedayon doesn't mind. oh wait, i'm still DIA )

11,103 crawler
-use to hurry Xeno Dome

2,102 DEM crawler
-use to hurry Xeno Dome in NT

Nearest Xanadu Crawler
-crawl condensor on top of large hill

Workers
UNPD:
-move that unproductive farm worker to a forest

DEM:
-change the 2-1-2 worket to a forest
-change a 3-1-2 worker to the borehole (upon which there is a crawler crawling NUTRIENTS )

UNMI:
-WORK ONLY 4-0-4 TILES

[Method]

by the way: this is where there should be boreholes either completed, started, or about to be started by the end of the chat, if you followed the orders right (i think)

it also shows which crawlers i'm donating to Cedayon

one more thing: E NE of UNPD where i'm building a borehole is currently worked by NA. can you send your worker to another forest, for your good buddy TKG?

[Cedayon]

I ok TKG's trawling of 20,104 (N NE of Aurora), if it matters.

And you don't have to send me those crawlers, I'll still have enough after the insta-building of XD because I'm essentially spending 5 turns on nothing but crawlers with NT and Aurora. If you really need to off-load some crawlers, I'm sure Solaris could use them... or you could send them to JV to help in the insta-building of the Supercollider when we get AR
