[FlameFlash]

Agreed.

Update: I've heard nothing more from the CPU yet, I am going to be on IRC again when I get done with my class this afternoon and hopefully I can catch Impaler there again.

PEACE's position re: a ceasefire agreement are noted.

Information back from the Drones; I have sent it on FlameFlash - should I just post it here?

Posting it in the ceasefire thread...

Captains of PEACE

The last few years you kept to the preliminary agreement we agreed upon. Since it seems that shortly you wil found a new base near the coast of Yardlong island, and supposedly will start a sea colony pod there, my question now is what your plans are with your sole remaining naval unit (the foil transport).

Does PEACE wish to bring the transport foil ASAP to the area were it will start a new colony, or does it prefer to take the long route and stays out of CPU territorial waters?

My reply:

If you'd be so kind to let the 'sport cruise along your waters along 53-57, 39 in 2165 (4 turns from now) we'd appreciate it as we can get our former and rover#1 headed to Bones a turn sooner. We've been gifted MMI, so we've switched to a DropCP to expedite our exit from Yardarm, it's due to be done in 2 (waiting on pop and our cost to drop into our budget of 45 EC). It'll be followed up 4 turns or so after with the disband pod - assuming you let us keep the two crawlers a bit longer. (We'd also appreciate that ) That should have us off Yardarm before 2170, and out of your waters. If you need more exact figures let me know - I'm working on my orders for the next 10 turns or so.

-Seraph Makahlua, for the Captains

Also added in a seperate PM:

Forgot to ask - what was the exact compensation on the crawlers? 60 per or 60 for both? They should be available in ~7 turns or less, FYI

[FlameFlash]

Those look good. Looks like I was beat to the punch...

/me shrugs.

From GeoModder:

Our territorial waters are a bit larger then the tiles you describe. We prefer to receive the whole route through Atlantic Ocean, as that no unauthorized meetings will happen.

As for the crawlers, you can use them longer, not timemark on them, price agreed upon by Function Impaler was 60 ec apiece.

So you're first base will be on Bones Island. Do you care to share the location you had in mind?

Here's the route in a nice graphic format; along with the first 2 bases (blue stars). After it reaches Yardarm, it will be making a return trip along the same route between Bones/Yardarm before beng in service in our waters in the north. Good to know about the crawlers; that will help us get back on our feet fairly quick - thank you

[Makahlua]

In a quick response he did say that one reason we get to keep them longer is the war is expensive, and they can't afford to buy em off just yet. heh. ^^

[Makahlua]

Please check the new turn thread for the lastest Drone offer.

Just sent a word to CyCon on the pact :

You'll probably note that we have a Pact with the Drones next turn - this is for unit gifting purposes only (note the plasma garrison near Crossbone.) Just wanted to give you a heads up

What is all that Tass stuff about. His talk about some faction leaders.

Is he talking about me? I hope not? but intrigued.

I have no clue.

Stirring I bet.
I wish he'd either come out and say who he is referring to, instead of making all these irritating hints. If he has something to say, he should say it clearly.
