for crying out loud, been saying that for a long time and switching the deed of three systems during a war seriously doesn't make sense and won't prevent war. Systems will be taken before the Morganites/Spartans announces the deal. ANYWAY, TA will keep the systems...and will be Spartans' fault for getting involve in the war.

He will of course officially tell the Terrans to leave the systems other than the one with Samnos since it has been Spartan land since the Morgan Senate officially transferred title. But thats what you get when you attack the Spartans source of raw materials. Maybe the Morgan colonies on the other side of the Terrans would have been a better choice.

No, thats what you get when you allow someone else decide where the three nearest morganite systems will be... meaning, wasn't my choice. YOU as player chose to get the Spartans involve, YOU and History decided to have godly intervention by bringing this transferred of title thing without mention it way before. OFFICIALLY, TA's intentions was to take Morganite systems, not Spartans...and will not stop attacking just because morganite/spartan decided to transfer titles in the middle of the attacks on three seperate systems. TA will not be an aggressor against the Spartans, as they didn't know of the perk and the Spartans got the deeds in the middle of war...being their fault for getting involved, not the Terrans. Even dare say that that TA is the Aggressor against the Spartans, I am getting the Peacekeepers involved one way or the other. :doitnow: as Kerensky will not trust the Protectorate as they are not exactly neutral: a non-democratic faction that currently as problems with the Hive, more keen to make friends with the Chironians then with the Terrans.... in the divine existence of reality, don't think Lonestar is on my side over this matter

Franky-- Sounds OK to me!

Ahem, the Spartan siren song? Excuse me while I fire a planet buster up Yang's nose.

Thanks for the compliment. M.I. might be a rich obese empire, and all, but it's still democratic. The Senate is a mix between the Roman senate, the American senate, and the British parliament. It's Romanesque, as you can tell, otherwise Senator Wilde wouldn't be receiving such messages.

LordMP-- Naxos is on Yellow Alert, the ships are bunched together there, there are skirmishers patrolling all around Naxos. Within minutes of your first attacks there Merrill can bring all of his force over to stem the tide. He knows you'll take over, but he's doing the 'Wyatt Earp thang'. In other words, you'll overwhelm me and get me, but I'll take a lot of you down with me. That sort of thing.

I didn't send too many ships out to attack Samnos, Merrill allowed that too fall easier, only sending four frigates. He's got battleships up at Naxos.

By the way, in attacking those three systems, you are now not only up against the Spartans and myself, but also my Novan mercenaries!!!

Sprayber-- Hey, look, here comes Kerensky...

Kerensky (crawling): Look, Morgan, I beg of you...call off the dogs...they've taken back everything we conquered!

Morgan: The dogs, Monsieur?

Kerensky: The Spartans, you jerk!

Morgan: Pfui! Is that anyway to speak to CEO Morgan and his friends?

Nanominiaturization it is then! I hope History Guy notices that...

As long that the construction doesn't happen over night, or in a month and so on. also need time to research and test it out....

Don't worry - nothing happens overnight! We will have many trial and error runs in this, with some possible spin-off incidents with this system.

Don't think of Mechs when i say Gears please

Gears? Oh Gears! Yes, Gea... what?

BTW, History, what should I post now about Quantum Shadow? If you wish me to post about the deal betwen us, please give some names for your "diplomats".

Lonestar - thanks! Hmm... just look at the Warriors of Saturn Kingdom.... of the future...

yes yes, but Naxos wasn't expecting a second group of ships to come out of FTL NEAR Naxos and start firing on any morganite ship in view right of the bat.... so even if they are ready for attack, that kind of entry would suprise some people, even more when they started firing as soon as they got out of FTL. So, I really doubt they have lightning fast reaction time or exactly know what is going to happen just by some acts of sabotage. I'll edit the word complete off the post, but I am leaving surprise as it is justified.

no matter, they will get nailed by the opening volley from the TA ships.

Not exactly, has they didn't reply yet on wether they are taking the job.... only saw your Message to them, but no response or the pirate intro. Anyway, the other two would be a lot easier to take quickly then the Cyclanid system.

It is that kind of view of TA i am annoyed with and now your mocking Kerensky

anyway, still have the Kane Bloc

[Mellian]

Silence, as long as the Believers isn't attacking any other members of TA, or strike at EC in Sol like MI did with InEn, TAF won't go after you

[Mr. President]

Anyone who fires on the Spartans will fire on the Free Drone Republic. And who knows, perhaps we might even be allowed to shoot back.

[Mr. President]

I'm not sure I like that stuff about stealing the ship, but we'll see where it goes.

[History Guy]

Cyber-- Yes, please do post!

LordMP-- Was I supposed to write a response from the Novans??

Now, as for Naxos, who will write the opening post on the attack there, and the fall of Samnos?

What's Franky up to?

Sprayber, perhaps you should write a response to Morgan before LordMP conquers more stoff.

Kassiopeia, come on, we need ya man!

Silence-- That's good, send your men down here quickly. You already have squadrons in the Pollux system that'll reach here before the second and third systems fall, and so they and my garrison and Sprayber's boy there can stem the tide somewhat.

Mr. Prez-- Well then, hurrah for the Drones!

[History Guy]

Whoops. Cybergod, good post!

Now, I've got more stuff to write about in next post. Trading with Cyber, Fighting at Naxos and Samnos, and Delbar's galavanting at Morgan's Hideaway.

LordMP-- The plot is intriguing, and I'm sure that when you have time to go back and fix up the post it'll be quite reasonable...of course, as soon as Sprayber finds out the Novans are responsible I'll have to get rid of the Novan mercenaries...

[Sprayber]

Sorry guys. I've had some problems getting on today.



Silance: Are the Believers really anxious to get involved? Cause I think the Spartans can arrange a little attack on Ross 128. Surely the Terrans wouldn't mind swapping colonies. It will take the two Spartan Fleets a little time to get there cause we do have to skirt PK territory. But we will be there in time to dampen the joyful celebrations on Earth. Kessel will contact you through Morgan.

[Sprayber]

Time for new thread guys.

I am sure no one likes to loose anything to the Pirates and even harder of the specific attacks by the Kane Bloc in the past decade too... like that one is for the Droids, planning to maybe develop a version where it can replace most of the crew jobs of a ship, freeing up humans for more ships. Manpower is an issue for Pirates, as they don't have huge population centers to recruit from... except maybe the Nautilus Pirate clan, only one located on a planet...Chiron. Anyway, would be obvious to anyone who analyses the specific attacks and puts it two and two together.... Kane can become quite powerful, especially if he succeeds in uniting most of the Pirate clan pirate style especially when you are good friends with the Data Angels

The Pirates can potentionally be quite an pain to the Morganites, Spartans and Drones if they get more involve in the war with TA...as it would leave openings elsewhere for raiding and so on.

[Silence]

Ok History guy you want me to move some squadrons to Pollux right?
