Angels MY 2151-2160

[Hercules]

Our priority is to increase on the number of factions infiltrated so that our special feature can kick in. Note that having a pact with Morgan or any other faction counts as infiltration but it only lasts as long as the pact lasts, hence better to achieve probe infiltration.

Also we don't automatically get all the past techs. Even though we know the Hive, the Spartans and Gaians have Non Linear we wouldn't get it until another faction got it.

[Mart]

So maybe the probe foil should depart west in search of University or PK, Spartans?

[FlameFlash]

Finding University or PK isn't a bad idea. Raises trading potential slightly too.

[ForesterSOF]

The benefit is surmised and the reality is depending on Yang reaction to our probe.

A lot of risk for posible benefit.

I would hold off till we make some sort of safety net so our faction does not become the first casualty.

[GeoModder]

A lot of people not happy with probing the Hive thus. Perhaps sent the probe foil out towards the Gaians?

We lost the info on the Eventis forum, and I can't recall whether or not we agreed on a non-infiltration temporary or forever.

Infiltrating the Uni might give us indirect info about Spartans, they are submissive to that team.

[Mart]

I do not recall any no infiltration agreement. Have we ever talked about it? Also - I think they already infiltrated us...

[Hercules]

MArt Re suggestion for formers and builds, I agree with them. All good proposals.

Re foil probe, play it as you see proper but not towards Yang.

[Mart]

Sending it towards Gaians as Geo suggested - that is my favourite option. We really could use that infiltration

[ForesterSOF]

But will they still be our friends and how cooperative will they be in the future.

[Mart]

We should be "stealth" enough so they cannot know this

Meanwhile, the foil probe departs in direction of Gaians. Also reconaisance gave the following result

[Mart]

Ok, this is mid save. If anyone wishes to add something please do it now. I plan to send it shortly. I haven't spoken to Morganities yet - are we sure we wish to trade techs with them - I need to check it in the infotrader thread.

[Hercules]

As Geo mentioned earlier, all we have to trade is Optical Computers, I think.

[GeoModder]

You still have to do production rushes, yes? (looking at the turn now)

[GeoModder]

I recommend hurrying facilities rather then units.

For trading with the Morgans: world map, Gaian comm freq and indeed OptComp.

I suggest starting trading negotiations, asking them what they want to offer. They were interested in other comm freq's as well IIRC.

[Mart]

World map - possibly will reveal the route of our transport foil, if the region was not previously scouted by them, although I can suspect that yes.

As for energy - we save for possible need to probe hive units.
