I have to say my initial reaction to the Borg response was to tell them to %&&8%4(£"" it, but look a little closer.
This and a couple of other references indicates they are not yet in a position to purchase it from the AI and anyway are thinking of a purchase maybe 3 years away. That would suit us surely.
As we wanted 3/4 years more to roam the oceans by ourselves( excluding Roze).
Now here's a horrible thought.
Say we traded for Ethical Calc and the PUT placed no restrictions on trading it on
(doubtful perhaps, especially if we place restrictions on Doc:Flex) we could trade it to the Borg provided they researched Nonlinear. If they speed up their research to 5 years, we too would acquire Eth Calc and Non linear within that period.
Didn't someone suggest that leap frog move earlier.
After we got back Non linear from them the Borg would still owe two future tech.
And I like the idea of a research faction owing us two tech. It kinda forges a bond or tech handcuffs.
And as we plan to trade the Hive Doc Flex as well, the only faction they could sell to, would be the Drones and by that stage we may be trading it to the Drones ourselves. What I am saying is, in the three years time, a 'restrictions clause' would be meaningless. When they All get Doc: Flex, it will take them a least one turn to produce their first craft.
In a few turns we will have around 100 to 150 credits.
