Okay yeah this thread is like trying to play Risk with kindergarteners.

[Blackdutchie]

Instead of simply fitting boosters to a crate, can't we build a proper cargo transfer thing?
What did we need for a spaceship factory again?

[Sheb]

We just need magcatcher, it would be much more efficient (or we need a space elevator)

Giant OWL to fit the ai into.

[Eugenitor]

I'm not sure if it applies here, but in real life 125 small combat craft will absolutely blow the hell out of the one 5 times larger on every side unless the big one has some kind of unobtainium shielding. Not to mention the whole "eggs in one basket" thing.

Magcatcher, as much econ as we can, and shipyard for OWLs. Sound good?

[Sheb]

Well, having larger craft do have some advantage, or the whole world navies would be made out of kayak and dinghies.

[Eugenitor]

The Germans tried the whole 'bigger is better' deal with its tanks in the final days of WW2. It didn't work. Think a shark fighting 125 piranhas (shark = skeletonized in a minute), or 125 destroyers ganging up on one heavy battleship. In space it's easy to visualize one of the 125 simply *ramming* its larger foe with all its delta-V. So unless these super-sized monstrosities have some special capability that smaller units don't (other than just bigger guns, which we don't really need at the moment), it's a pointless waste of resources.

Also, coal as a fuel source? Srs? I don't even want to think about refining that. We need fission energy (regular old uranium nuclear) if not hydrogen/deuterium fusion. What do we have to do to get a fusion plant going, and what's the minimum size spacegoing craft that can come with its own fusion plant? Because THAT would be a good reason to build big.

[Blackdutchie]

Actually, piranhas wouldn't attack a shark, but his points remain valid!

Big awesome mecha are cool though...

We need coal for terraforming.  Someone posted a drone a while back that will burn up a coal vein to increase the planet's temperature.  We need to remember to terraform.

[The Scout]

Giant OWL would almost be unkillable. Plus it would make us harder to kill, rather then floating around the planet.

[Derekristow]

Why do we need a giant unkillable war machine?  It would only be useful in a small number of situations.  It would be better to just make ourselves an underground facility on one of the moons.

[The Scout]

For backup. It still allows us to orbit the planet and come down to the planet if under attack. I will keep trying unless it gets shot down completely.

[Demonic Spoon]

Ugh, sorry guys! I finally got sucked into aurora. D: Awesome game but my computer takes forever to dvance time increments. Anyway, I'll start writing a turn now. And coal would only be really usefu as a enegy source if no solar, wind, hydro, or uranium energy was present. As you have discovered a fast flowing river near the captured bear settlement, the sun is shining and the wind is blowing this is a nonissue.

EDIT: Added some construction costs to the front page. Ack, I lost some of the costs somehow they, I'm gonna try to reverse engineer them.

Roll: 10-1 = 9(random.org likes you guys today.)

Basic Drone 2 manages to mine 900 copper on Ionia.

Scanning Pandora : 4

You locate 1 silicon deposit, 2 iron desposits, 1 copper deposit, 1 gold deposit and 1 uranium deposit.

Roll: 8 - 1 = 7
