Confirm this course of action? Doing nothing for a long period of increases the chance of a random event.

I propose we charge until 60% only and asess the situation again.

Just for safety.

What's the energy gain rate for our solar collectors?

This is the power reserve for normal usage. The vital functions power reserve is not included in these calculations and will only be used in emergencies. The vital functions power reserve is what keeps the satellite running. Calculations show that we will still be able to launch the drone after scanning the large moon but will not be able to take other actions except communicating with the drone thereafter until our power reserve recharges. Proceed with this course of action?

Energy gain rate is about 40% per day. One turn is one day. Scanning is fast and so I have not started counting turns yet.

I still say we go with that plan that Ghazkull had and go for the smaller moon; create lots o' little droids; INFEST COLONIZE PLANET FASTERRRR.

Look at the iron there! Perfect for droidmaking. And a clear atmosphere makes for perfect solar energy collection. A low gravity on the small moon means it's easy to move our created projects on and off the surface, etc.

On a geological scale a day doesnt count for pretty much anything. Neither does it for a robot.

Charge for a day. Power reserves are good.

Remember guys, if we choose one of the moons, we have to choose between terraforming it or just digging in and creating an underground colony there.

That was the largest amount of missing characters I've ever seen in a single paragraph. Also, your avatar used to be my desktop for probably close to two years, Demonic Spoon. And then I lost the image. I can has plz?

We don't have to colonize the moon, just use its resources to aid us in colonization of the planet. Besides, it would be ridiculous to try to move an appropriate amount of water up TO the moon...

Comets. They are useful.

EDIT: And demonic spoons avatar would be very appropriate.

Turn 1: DO NOTHING

After scannng the various bodies on th planet and one of the moons you decide to recharge your power reserves before proceeding. As you orbit around the planet collecting solar energy, you wonder if you will ever decide to name yourself.

Dice Roll 7: No mishaps occur, you recharge your power reserve to 75%.

P.S. Sorry for the missing characters, my laptop keyboard doesn't always register them if I type too fast.

P.P.S Sure, let me just find the link.

Turn 2: Launch Drone at Smaller moon.

The time has come for your child to leave his womb and enter the cold uncaring universe to do his duty. If you had tear ducts you would be crying. You watch as he moves away from you. They grow up so fast.

Power reserve at 50%

Drone reporting: Have landed on moon. No mishaps.Explore yes/no?
