  • To sum up one thing that may be lost - we can ask for a extension of 24 hours to decide what to research and wait Angel response, or choose Flex to have a week or two to decide what will be our actual tech (after receiving Flex we can easily use accumulated RP for other techs).

    • Idea of having exension and Flex is good!

      Let us do so!

      • I would rather not ask for an extension, but it is an option. If we go for Doc: Flex, we will have a different set of choices next time, and may not be able to choose EcoEng anymore.

          NO!

          Then we go for Eco Eng!

          We can't afford losing that chance!

          • Minute Mirage's Table for prediciting tech choices has not yet made a wrong estimation - this is what it says after getting Flex:

            Doctrine: Initiative
            Ethical Calculus
            Ecological Engineering
            Progenitor Psych
            Secrets of the Human Brain
            Nonlinear Mathematics

            However if we gain Ethical Calculus as well by that time options are:

            Doctrine: Initiative
            Intellectual Integrity
            Progenitor Psych
            Polymorphic Software
            Secrets of the Human Brain
            High Energy Chemistry

            So it may be a wrong idea if we gain both Eth: Cal and Flex and then decide to go EcoEng.

              • Also, if we decide for Eco, we would need to receive first flex and then EthCal (one year later) to avoid this trap.

                  • Ahhh I quit agitating for Int:Int. But you better hope that I won't have to tell you I TOLD YOU SO! in four or five months.

                      Believe me - we will trade for IntInt very soon and offset the benefits of CDF by either NA or LV!

                            • I'm going to start playing the turn in ~1/2 hour. It seems that the consensus is to research EcoEng, and not to start any trades yet.

                              • Well, we don't have agreement on trades yet. You could put Mobility on the bargain table with Angels without preaccepting it (to prevent breaking the embargo), but nothing else.
