Must have been an oversight a Hive probe team! I will rectify his when I get home, and can see a logical place to put it. Any suggestions?

Err... no.Any suggestions?
I have general guidelines I follow but I never plan ahead this far, as due to unforeseen events, such as the Pirates, there will always be a change in tech priorities.

Would anyone mind if, in an attempt to improve PEACE-CyCon relations, I disclosed our future research plans, asked what theirs are, and tried to cooperate?Comment

So long as we hand them this list that we haven't paid the least bit attention to at all
No seriously that sounds like a good idea I think, go for it.

I would wait a little bit longer, until CyCon-Peace relations will be (atleast i hope) better... at least till after we seal the Doc:Flex deal.
If we don't get that deal round, than IHMO they can forget ever seeing anything about our valuable reseach plans!!

I would say give it to them, then forget it and go militaristic
Seriously, it's both fun and would help us in game, with techs, with population, with power, etc...

An interesting detail: the UoP also got DocFlex this turn, while they didn't have it last turn IIRC.
A general rebellion against the pirates perhaps?

Maybe they are close friends and PEACE traded it?

Seems more likely they just bought from the AI, like we did.Comment

When they're pacted with PEACE, I wouldn't put it past them.Smile

Perhaps a bit early to talk about this already, but I was wondering, what should be our next longterm goal after we have MMI (at least if the game will continue long enough to reach another longterm goal)?
A few possibilities might be:
a> Planetary Economics: Hybrid forests
b> Fusion Power: fusion reactor
c> Biomachinery: the Cloning Vats (Since we can't pop boom, this is perhaps the most important SP for us. Getting this could make us competitive to the Hive & Drones.)
There is fortunately quite a bit of overlap between these possible goals:
Between PlanEcon & Fusion Power: Intellectual Integrity
Between Fusion Power & Biomachinery: Advanced Military Algorithms.
Personally I'd prefer we aim to Biomachinery and the Cloning Vats. The importance of pop booming cannot be overstated IMHO.Comment

How do we plan on playing this? If we can get Fusion early, then we can launch a war before others get it. Then that might be better. If not, we need pop-booming.
IMHO, beeline for Biomachinery straight after MMI, and then Fusion. If PUT go for Fusion first, they can try and take the Supercolider, and we have a decent chance of out-teching Hive/Drones together.Smile

Fusion must but our first or second goal, I think - this tech is pretty important. I would also like to see Cloning Vats - should we strike a deal with PUT so we can exchange techs? We won`t survive on our own, and we should outtech others (University and CyCon, ahem).SMAC/X FAQ | Chiron Archives

Fusion is my first choice too, if not for launching a war, then at least our newly build (or upgraded) defenders will be stronger then all that can attack us.
If we go to war, we can have a pop increase by conquering bases, so biomachinery is only second then for me.Comment

Drogue:
We could plan it that PUT and us first both cooperate to AdvMilAlg. Then we temporarily diverge: CyCon researches the three techs still necessary for the Cloning Vats (BioEng, RetroEng & Biomach) while PUT aims for Applied Relativity (researching Superconductor on the way). Then when these goals are both met, we converge our research plans again to research the +-5 remaining techs still necessary for Fusion Power.IMHO, beeline for Biomachinery straight after MMI, and then Fusion. If PUT go for Fusion first, they can try and take the Supercolider, and we have a decent chance of out-teching Hive/Drones together.
obstructor:
- should we strike a deal with PUT so we can exchange techs?
If the leapfrog to MMI is succesful, we could indeed further negotiate about leapfrogging to AdvMilAlg or something (at least if we don't first decide to go for CentMed, psi combat and IoDs, which seems a well-received suggestion in the military emergency plan thread 
).
GeoModder:
Why not popboom AND go to war?If we go to war, we can have a pop increase by conquering bases, so biomachinery is only second then for me.
