I moved a pair of drop probes next to chiron preserve. i see you have a drop probe in ciba city for MMI,and turned your research just right...although i would think that popgrowth would put you over the limit anyway.

Any progress on getting a planet buster in on the HSA? a hive city or two is within range of that(18 tiles for a fusion buster right?).

I hadn't heard about a plan to PB the HSA. I was planning on making gains in Hive territory, however, and with our energy income, a 1-turn PB is realizable.

Presume you killed Spartan IoD? Moving up tacticals,drops,etc to communal nexus to support your attack you mentioned. I see your researching MMI, were you prevented from tech stealing by interlocks?
[/q]

[q=Chaos Theory]
Yep, killed the IoD. It's kosher, too, as far as I'm concerned, since the Spartans killed one of ours earlier.

Our probe team isn't able to pick a tech to steal from you, so we're committed to finishing MMI ourselves.

We moved a number of needlejets into communal nexus, around 5-6 interceptors and 4-5 needlejets along with 1 or 2 chaos? choppers.

How far are gaians willing to drag the game out, i wonder? I personally am willing to play until gaia is clearly defeated or surrenders then concede ourselves. Also what do you think about joint forum access for our active members? we could coordinate our troops better that way from turn to turn. of course coop victory is off, but i think you will agree that angels have little to benefit from backstabs now or ever considering our situation.
