Trading Applied without Permi-Pact

[Kody]

The Permi-Pact negotiations have been going for a long time.

However, they have indicated they are willing to have a pact of some sort.

Will people be willing to trade, Applied and Information Networks, for Planetary Networks and Industrial Economics.

Then trade them Industrial Automation, for another tech we can specify later.

I would like to close the inital non-permi-pact first since they're taking a long time deciding on the permi-pact. Then perhaps we can start the tech trading we need to get Industrial Automation.

Comrade Kody, could you give us again the highlight of your research on how the tech costs differ between the two cases (IN for IE vs IN AP for PN IE)? I tend to think if it is a pact then it will at least last for some time, in other words it might be worth of getting IA faster. But if it is only a treaty or truce then we may not want to give them Applied? Any thoughts from people who has more experiences?

[Kody]

It's not tech costs it's about pooling resources with the drones to get AI in 2126.

If we don't pool resources I expected we get AI in 2134 (factoring in growth).

Well getting crawlers in 4 or 5 years sounds really sweet ... Do we want to take the risk ... People, brainstorm, comments, opinions, advises, please!

[Kody]

I'm too tired of all this to theorise. I'll stick with whatever is decided.

I can not entirely opposed to a permi-pact (I dont fell entirely comfortable with the idea, but I do see how it can be helpfull and can live with it) but I think that all tech is good and that we should aim to get at it anyway necessary.

Yes, trade the two techs to them. They seem to be honorable players and won´t use it against us too soon. And we need to rise in the power graph or we will lose respect by other factions that may be potential allies otherwise...

The people has spoken. Let's do it then!
