2181-2190

[GeoModder]

Ow, turn is in?

/me goes checking...

Well... Zakharov is prepared to loan us 111 ec's for 2 ec's a year for the next mission century.

He is also prepared to trade Planetary Economics for Advanced Military Algorithms (or perhaps Doc: Init as well)

[GeoModder]

Proposal: how about moving that needlejet in flight towards Health Authority in an attempt to check the strength of the Spartan army and let the plane land in UN Temple of Sol?

We're at peace with the Spartans again, so that's not a problem. We could assure them that we will leave the base next turn ASAP, and that simple necessity made us land the plane in an about to be conquered base.
Just my way of harassing them for taking out 2 probes just like that.

[Mart]

Then we take the loan, I guess.
How about tech trade with Zakharov?
And we need to talk with Gaians re what they need for Bioengineering

I would not harass Spartans for no real gain. We may only worsen relations without anything good in return. When we start to be aggresive towards them let us do it with all force.

Spartans did inform us about the reason for probe team destruction. I even thought they would be more aggressive, but it seems they still regard us quite high, or pretend it, but we have no way of knowing. Our military should soon give us more real strength.

Gaian IoD is that one we know of. They just uncover the map apparently

[GeoModder]

We can do both, tech trade AND loan (checked it). Let's say (haven't checked yet if they have this) we trade AMA as well to Gaians while trading with Zak? Again, it's a way of deception towards the Spartans on whom traded what to whom (we could even offer it to PK's for a small price, since Zak would be obliged to sent AMA to Spartans anyway) and have with all this trading again the most energy and the most tech out of it.

I think it's worth asking for an extension, for we need consent of the Gaians for this scheme.

[Mart]

Giving AMA to Spartans may increase their power too much, and helps get PSA. Are you sure this is right thing?

[ForesterSOF]

do not trade to Zak please.

[Hercules]

Do not trade to Zak. THat's like giving it (AMA) to Spartans

[Hercules]

If Gaians and (Pks or Uni) get it from us. Spartans will get it automatically. ANd it puts them on the road to PSA and Fusion.

[Mart]

End save for last corrections.
I took 111 EC loan from Zakharov and additionally rushed Aircomplex in RPS.

We need also some more long term plans worked on and I need to finally complete turnplaying manual.

Almost forgot. Pod popping gave kelp farm - gift for Gaians I suppose.

[ForesterSOF]

Long term Goal.

Win

[GeoModder]

Turn 2184 is in... and our capital is in riots. Can easily be quelled by changing the Engineer to a Thinker.

The same will happen with Kodycryptor next turn if we don't act.
We could either change one of the three Thinkers to a Doctor, or rush a Rec Commons there for 38 ec's if I calculated right.

Why not changing the former production in Mart Pact to a seaformer? The base would benefit from a few kelp fields on it's shelfs...

I suppose GeoMatrix can start with a Rec Commons now, and go for a Children's Creche afterward?

Hercules Station needs a specialist as well, or will riot next turn.

As far as I can see, these are the most immediate problems.
Yang still refuses to talk, Lal is gone and Zakharov tries as always to trade and to involve us in his little skirmish with the Morgans.

O yes, the Spartan turnplayer has used the diplo screen to repeat their tech trade offer. Guess they're really anxious to get PSA before us.

We could get the tech a turn sooner if we change to 40/10/50 in the slider

[GeoModder]

Or we could leave the sliders as they are (50/10/40), change whereever possible Thinkers to Technicians and have an income of 85 ec's and still finish the research in 2189.

Kodycryptor needs in this scheme the rushing of a rec commons, and RPS newly constructed borehole in operation.

[Hercules]

That's twice I have meant to submit some ideas, only to have erased them by jumping somewhere else.

[Hercules]

So here I go again.

Enigma Machine: As Geo suggests, switch specialist to thinker.
Kodycopter: here I am thinking build a quick CP before we embark on building B6s and AMA units. It would require change of specialist to thinkers.
Hercules Station: could rush if need be.
Heavens Gate: on target but maybe switch a crawler to crawl a nut to encourage growth but we don't want to lose that juicy energy at 20, 52
DC: just rush the former .
RPS: great, I suppose it could be rushed for 29. we'll need a MW squasher soon.
FH: another crawler I presume, new crawler to Farm at 29,67, ready for cashing in later.
Snowflake's Haven: rush for 2ec I suppose but on target for another F6 or B6 before the big SP.

Geomatrix: looks fine, it will deliver well next turn.
I resume the Fungy( 33,75) should remove fungus where it is.
Gemka's Loft: keep building B6 or F6.
CP from Googlie move to 19, 77 and move a drop probe to there also.
Googlieplex: Build supply crawler (hey we need these for the HSA).
Kahlua Probing: build another F-6 or B-6
In Mart Pact: a seaformer (as Geo suggests) or Fungy.
Commence Borehole at 21,75
Build road at 19, 71

Well do we raise land at 26,78 or just road atm.
And do we build mine is it at 23.59 near DC.

[Hercules]

And I suppose we should go out on some more patrols.
