We got 5 techs from Deidre and only 2 techs from Zakharov.

Zakharov broke the pact. Deidre has kept the pact and is magnanimous towards us. She even gave us Advanced Military Algorithms in 2130.

I'm not anxious to get into another vendetta. We're actively mopping up the Believers and destroying Spartan units out in the open. (Compared to the other factions, except for us, the Spartans take longer to build units). We're also picking off Hive sea units.

[vyeh]

Between 2161 and 2162, we will have a choice of

Applied Relativity
Intellectual Integrity (high morale, non-lethal methods, leads to Hybrid Forests)
Neural Grafting (Bioenhancement Centers, two special abilities, leads to copters)

[vyeh]

Destruction of Judgment Seat is the best outcome for us. I certainly didn't want the Spartans to take it.

That escort foil costs 50 minerals.

It is getting too dangerous for our missile needlejets because the Spartans will have two Falcons. We'll use our needlejets against the Hive until the chaos or fusion interceptors are available to provide air cover.

BEFORE ENDING 2162:

(1) Contact Morgan. Coordinate battle plans. We're going after Loaves and Fishes. He should go after The Lord's Truth. See if he is receptive to a tech trade.

Could you amend your 2161-2162 report to note the discovery of organic superlubricant?

[Nahkrinoth]

What's our clean mineral cap?

At 18, 24 there's a sea square that has access to both a mineral and energy bonus square as well as other shallow improvable squares. It would make a nice launching point to attack the Hive or University.

What's the plan for the Persepolis sea colony pod?

[Nahkrinoth]

Atlantic Ruins and New Sargasso are still great places to build if we think we can get over there.

[vyeh]

Removing workers at Drydock, I think our clean mineral cap is 12 (this is the number when Planet is at perihelion); the normal cap is 16.

As soon as we get a fungal pop, we can build a tree farm at Drydock.

I'll keep (18,24) on the list. We're producing a lot of sea colony pods.

I was sending the Persepolis sea colony pod to the energy bonus at (25,36) that you like. Since we're no longer pact with the University, we can build bases in their territory (one of the reasons to not try for a new pact).

Once we have the fusion interceptor and start going after the Spartan air units, we won't have trouble getting a sea colony pod to the Atlantic Ruins. Check the command nexus for our enemies. They're running out of ships.

[vyeh]

0-3t-4*2 trance fusion foil supply.

(37) If a Falcon is in Training Camp or Fort Superiority, Drydock fusion interceptor attaacks that Falcon. Otherwise, Drydock fusion interceptor attacks the Spartan former near Fort Superiority.

(39) If the fusion interceptor did not destroy a Spartan Falcon and there is one in range of the needlejets at Fleet Anchorage, send the one wiht the highest morale and least amount of damage to attack it. If it fails, send another one. (These missile needlejets are obsolete.)

(40) Remaining needlejets at Fleet Anchorage look for Spartan targets (there are two crawlers at Sparta Command; one is 2 sq. N by NW of Sparta Command on the bonus mine square; the other is 1 sq. S of Sparta Command).

[vyeh]

No fungal bloom. One of the non-fungus squares in the Drydock base area would now be fungus. You encountered a wild IoD loaded with two mindworms. We were incredibly lucky not to lose any units (although the only value of the independent scout is that it is independent; the only use for the plasma hoverboat is to temporarily garrison a new sea base until we can build a trance scout; the hoverboat doesn't suppress drones) and we gained 107 credits.

The impact foil was outclassed since the free naval yard gave the missile foil a +100% bonus. So the plasma armor of 3 became 6.

There was no need to doctor Tu es Petrus. A talent and a drone won't create drone riots.

For future reference, note that while Fleet Anchorage is out of range of the Falcon at Training Camp, Training Camp is not out of range of the needlejets at Fleet Anchorage.

There is an advantage for bombers to attack interceptors on the runway rather than vice versa. If the interceptor attacks the bomber, it does so at twice its attack value versus the bomber's attack value. If the bomber attacks the interceptor on the runway, they both fight at their normal attack values.

However, the destruction of the two supply crawlers has more long term consquences for the Spartans than the destruction of a Falcon.

[vyeh]

Between 2165 and 2166, we will discover Neural Grafting and will be given a choice of Silksteel Alloys, Intellectual Integrity, Mind/Machine Interface, Centauri Meditation, Bio-Engineering, Adv. Ecological Engineering and Orbital Spaceflight.

Mind/Machine Interface allows copters. This fits in with our "claws and fangs" philosophy.

[vyeh]

Zakharov is in a vendetta with us. We're building X fusion needlejets. While we may lose a sea base, I don't think Zakharov has the forces or can build the forces to give us a problem even though he has a tech lead.

If he offers us a blood truce, should we accept it?

If he offers us a blood truce at a price of 100 credits, should we pay?

I'm not inclined to pay.

I'm putting the issue of whether we accept a blood truce in the voting booth.
