I am still not sure Spartans have infiltration on us. I simply can't recall when we didn't have probe defence apart from the very start.

They are making it sound that they have, with hints. But if like us they want to keep faction infiltration secret, then why broadcast even to just us, this type of information.

[GeoModder]

Sloppy of me. They indeed don't have it.

Checking them, except for Superstring Theory they don't have anything interesting.

But we could make an open offer anyway, just to see what they respond.

[Kataphraktoi]

they dont have it though? although in the futrue i suppose

[GeoModder]

Planetary Economics. The tech which increases commerce income, and makes Hybrid Forests buildable.

[Kataphraktoi]

Lets also see if Morgans would like to trade PE for AMA.

edit

well i always call techs,like PlanEcon etc so

It's not to steal things, just to check if the base already was visited by someone elses' probes.

You mean the crawler on 32.74? .the crawler in geomatrix can be rushed for 12 EC.

If 32.74 is the crawler giving 2 mins to GM, then yes.

make a rec common in fungal heights imo. does anybody else see the basescreen as showing 1happy\1drone but the psych sreen says 2happy? in another pbem i picked up from sebed,i compensated for massive drones based on that info. im wondering if i just way overshot

That's a bug in SMAX. The F4 screen is the correct situation.

[Kataphraktoi]

Move the probe foil towards Yang Mine and Labor Network and start the attempt for a techsteal action. That way we can check if the security encryption is increased or not. We can always stop the probe action when we get the choice of which faction to blame.

Since that GeoMatrix crawler has to move anyway, I suggest moving it towards Gemka's Loft and rehome it so it can stop nut decrease next turn or in two turns if it crawls this turn on 28.47 or something.

And something else I forgot to ask : Who's the contactperson with the Morgans for your question regarding techtrades?

[GeoModder]

O yes, in case you want to get as many energy as possible, we need only a minimum of 2 thinkers to finish our research in 2 turns.

[GeoModder]

Spartans have truce with Yang again.
I think, with the Morgans current research path, they will try to aim for Retroviral->Biomachinery (Cloning Vats)

Building proposals:
GeoMatrix: Childrens' Creche, but first crawler if the rehoming proposal (see below) goes through
Fungal Heights: Rec Commons or Network Node
Mart Pact: Rec Tanks

I suggest those two formers on 19.49 first to build a farm on their current tile instead of moving north. Plenty of time before a cp is started in Hercules Station, and Heavens Gate can popboom a bit in the meantime.
Keep those F6's at home for our defense or even patrol the sea between us and the Spartans. I want to know if they're around or not.

Some misunderstanding here. AFAIK we can't see if Spartans have Bio-engineering or not. I just posted this without thinking if we would be the third party receiving this tech or not.

Edit: darn, I forgot, the Morgans already have that tech.
But looking at their tech direction now I predict the Morgans will try for Retroviral and Biomachinery now to get the Cloning Vats.

You checked, that Spartans have Bio-engineering already? how? Should we first ask Gaians, if they can check this?
After all this whole stuff goes in order to prevent Spartans from getting clean ability.

[Mart]

Maybe someone would take care of contact with Morgans? I have quite occupation with Gaians and other stuff.

Just some proposal:
- We can mention to them that we noticed Spartans already posses AMA, so we could trade this tech to them.
- Or simply tell them, that we could offer the following techs to them at the moment and ask, if they have something in exchange. Do not reveal what, since by this we would show we have infiltration

[GeoModder]

So Spartans have acquired 2-3 techs in the last few turns then. That Disco Volante we spotted last turn must have succeeded in acquiring a tech, probably Superstring Theory.

I'm starting to think that all Hive bases on the HG side will be encrypted. Perhaps we should move our probe foils to the south coast of the Hive.

It seems we have no choice. I hope they will reciprocate and after we give them two techs.
