I didn't check the math for the chart, but the content looks good

2110 turn

Well Mateys, after sending out a sob story about all my ISP troubles, I seem to have a stable link at the moment after all, so I was able to post the turn to the Drones on the main thread. sorry about just playing it through without the customary interlude for your comments, but it seemed that I should just go ahead and do it while I could, especially as there seemed to be no dissent about the turn plan and nothing particularly unexpected or thought provoking in the turn itself.

There were a couple of errors in that chart I posted with the plan (overestimating the nut production at Tripoli and the min production at 'Rita, but I don't think they affect the plan significantly (the former was going to be ready earlier than necessary at 'Rita anyway and there are plenty of nuts at Tripoli as it is (too bad the errors weren't in our favor anyway).

There are a few new nut specials in view, 1 each in the north and south; I expect to further explore with those two gunboats in their respective areas, they each look promising for new bases.

Next turn, I plan to pick up the new former and drop it on the pod at Treasure Islet. The following turn, the booty-boat will sail away north and east for 'Rita, and the former will find something to terraform on that or a nearby tile on the Islet (suggestions welcome).

Here is a copy of the near-end-turn zip. I guess my connection proplems were just so much crying wolf. (for my next trick I'll announce that the sky is falling)

Once there's something thought provoking I'll happily chime in... thus far it's all the easy start-up infrastructure stuff.

Once we actually meet somebody or get an IoD mad at us (like actually a nice big swarm of 'em) that's when it'll start getting interesting.
