Advisor: "But, ma'am, my point is that their scouts cannot understand our language, so there's no good reason to beam messages at them that they can't understand..."

"Hence why my message now is vengeance and retribution, alongside a hand of peace. When they're up for diplomacy, we're open--I'm only giving an informed message ahead before we shoot.

"That reminds me. I should've invested more into our research divisions and our explorer fervor."

Amelia's foreign affairs advisor asks Amelia cautiously whether she knows that the aliens don't seem to understand our language by default.

> Issue counterargument.
"Yet we've retained information that they have a translator--as well as having received their signals. If we can decode their lingual pattern, then we are pretty much moving onto a way to communicate steadily and easily.
> Get yon Hercules back to home base! (if it cannot load up an Alien Scout wreck).
> Retreat FAS to home base! Initiate repairs (could the repair mechanic be shown? :O)
"That, and it really seems that the Kaa (or whomever we're seeing) are vehemently against us. Now its not that I knew this firsthand--but I'd like to apply that to the rest of whatever we see out there."
> Scan the skies of ThoughtFamilyEquator

...which is MINE D:< (also a typo most likely)
> Construct a Scout M2a, send en route to Pelsk Echo.
> Construct 2 Erinyes; send to Pelsk Bravo
> Send Erinyes Fleet back to Cognitari. Silently complain that they'll take THREE turns to get to CostAttentionPlay, then cancel sending them back to Cognitari. Instead, when skies are scanned--send automatically to the nearer system.

"Amelia, you do realize I have a scout headed towards Pelsk Echo as we speak? I had also assumed you were moving your squadron to CostAttentionPlay."

I do have a scout at the vanguard system.

The colonizer movement was a mistake though. Forgot these things have non-reuseable engines.

Cost for Kinetic missile research is 75 credits. (Ie,original price 100, then 25 benefit for me, and 25 for you)

[Skyrunner]

All I see is that you had a scout in the Crowbar system, which moved back to Sol for refitting... Am I overlooking something?

I had a scout in the Olympus system, which I moved back for refitting. The vanguard scout stayed put.

The turn order moved the wrong scout.

[Skyrunner]

Edited turn.

Since I'm not meticulously accurate, it might be better to specify the ship #s if there's any possibility of ambiguous actions.

[10ebbor10]

Can I retro-actively not launch my colonizer as well?

On a side note, the new sector name is nice and optimistic....

[Skyrunner]

Done. And yes, it is

[10ebbor10]

Statement: The Euroslavic Federation is always willing to consider doing research under commission of other parties. Adminstrative fees apply. All research property of the Euroslavic
federation.

Query: Amount of currency in storage is currently 83, was 93 last turn. This does not match with the supposed 1 credit gain. Intentional? Also, I should get only 110 credits per turn.
Note: Not that I like complaining or so, but the Vanguard scout got miraculously upgraded.


Production:

 - Improved Shields
 - Superconductors [Commissioned by Fletcher]
 - Kinetic Missiles [Commissioned] Awaiting Confirmation by Amelia


Movement:
 - Upgrade my #1 - &Scout M1a (Which should have arrived last turn) to the M3a standard (0.5 speed vehicle on a 0.5 length trip). Send it to Pelsk Delta
 - Send #0 Vanguard Scout M1a to KeepAccurateDisease

"Amelia, you do realize I have a scout headed towards Pelsk Echo as we speak? I had also assumed you were moving your squadron to CostAttentionPlay."

"It would not be practical use of military logistics to station them far from a location where we could've expanded. The distance to thrust ratio of my gunship fleet does not abide by efficient spread of forces.

"To that note, I'm mustering a fleet of FAS-units. These take less time and will prove more efficient in the long run. To further that note, I am thinking of scrapping the gunships and moving their crew onto the FAS."


@Ebbor:

> ebbor, how does your research commission thing work again? I'd like to commission 1 research (Kinetic Missiles--hoping Pelsk does the same or you do, so we can get this finished).[/b]

@Skyrunner: May still edit my actions later. Thought about this recently.

((Oops, sorry, missed that :X))
((Err, I mean--could you explain how your sponsorship works? I'm lost how the pays happen...

Also I'm in the middle of shooting off all pertinent ideas waaaay ahead of time, like letting Amelia ask the rest of the provinces--given what seems to be a lapse in practically anything for this turn [most ships are in movement]--that we all make 1 Orbital Defense Platform each

But first things first. Err...how does your thingy work?))

[Skyrunner]

You pay him 75 credits, he researches Kinetic Missiles this turn.

- Kinetic Missiles [Commissioned] Awaiting Confirmation by Amelia

Thanks Skyrunner/ebbor.

This turn however, I don't think I'll invest in it. Either a /research it now/ clause or not--I need someone else to research it alongside me (and it'd help given the FAS + Colonizer buildup).
