Turns 2141-2160

Just saw it... see our ceasefire thread for GeoModder's messages to us.

Ok I don't want to be bore but I have some concerns over the last CPU turn where they killed our schooner.

First our schooner was under the protection of a hive needlejet

Second I am not sure but I thought we were beyond their reach that turn

Third where is the destroying cruiser, doesn't it (a sea craft) ususally end its turn next to a kill.

[Hercules]

On a different note:

Cap'n Maki has served honourably as turn play captain through the 20 horrendous years from 2141 to date and much warfare and dispute. Though we may not even survive until 2161, nevertheless we need to make provision for succession.

In short who wishes to put their name forward as the turnplayer from 2161- 2180.

And I'll chime in and say if no one wants the headache right now, I'm ahppy to continue on as well

[FlameFlash]

I would offer to do it, however my copy of SMAX often crashes and the last thing we need is for more times for the CPU to grumble.

On the other note, I'm wondering if we ever had proof that the Hive dispatched that needlejet... they may not have and instead killed that CP.

Also, I do agree that it's fishy, but where exactly was the schooner? One spot away from the transport or two? If two, then we might not be picking up the killer on our radar... and whose needlejet is that sitting in front of our transport ship?

If Maki is willing, she certainly has my vote.

Here's a snap of the current situation for you:

Note the highlighted cruiser is CyCon, and there is both a Hive foil and cruiser nearby. Our 'Sport is hightailing it outta there

[Hercules]

No the screenshot says it was killed by a cycon impact cruiser.

[FlameFlash]

Thanks, Maki... it would have been that impact cruiser, then, wouldn't it?

Or where would the other needed to have been to destroy our schooner?

[Hercules]

Beside it , unless it had some movements points left

[FlameFlash]

I know that, but where beside it, in what direction? Could we just not be picking it up on our radar?

[Makahlua]

The Schooner was in the same square under the noodle, IIRC.

[FlameFlash]

How could the schooner have been destroyed with the noodle still in tact then?

[Makahlua]

I dunno and Tass won't tell

Noodle? Does the Human Hive have Doctrine: Pasta?
