Could the hive and drones stand against a CyCon, Pirates, and University Alliance?

[Voltaire]

We need not act on evidence but rather on prudence. The fact remains that the other factions do pose a threat to us, we will have to act against them sooner or latter. My motto has always been: “Expect the worst, and hope for the best.” That way you’re never disappointed nor caught off guard.

[Rokossovky]

As usual Voltaire hits the nail on the head.

/me worries about those endless shorelines of the Hive continent. Perhaps sea trawlers with deep radar are the solution?
We sould possibly pop out some sea bases as soon as we can too, we can't let the Pirates expand up to our shore-line.

ORPs, that's what we need.

Another idea along the lines of what jamski was thinking is to just have a foil with hand weapons, but equip it with deep radar. Effectively what you have is a PT boat. Really cheap to produce, good for patroling and popping pods and the such. The idea of putting deep radar on our trawlers is an excellent anywho. That way we can detect an enemy approching to attack them and move them out of harms way (plus, as he pointed out, they can act as an early warning net, complimenting our regular force).

Also, it is a good idea to surround your island with your own bases. But with that comes the problem that they will be very easy to probe and require a lot of effort to defend as they are isolated from our ground forces.

Its better than having all OUR bases sea squares used by another faction though...

[Rokossovky]

yea true.

[Snowflake]

Where is the flexibility?
