Did you have any other plans outside of hive-mind goo bonaparte?

[Aklyon]

No, I'm saying don't blow the things up unless you want giant doomie doom of doomness to happen.
You're fighting tech from an ancient empire advanced enough to keep 5 artificial planets exactly in the same formation for eons, without having solar gravity move them in any significant way.

I got the impression that the planets were acting as a sort of guardian, and destroying them won't make them retaliate, but you'll unleash something apocalyptic.

What he said.

singularity and grey-gooifying Ghostfang, but that was it.

[V-Norrec]

OK, I got it then, I can't destroy the planets, but the networks should be fair game right?

[Demonic Spoon]

...start printing money! And lots of it!

Start making apocalypse shelters on the planets and nearby moons. Commandeer all ships to move as many citizens to the colonies as their infrastruture can supper. Move one militia from earth, the topmost planet and the middle planet to each of the colonies.

Make big nukes and city-killer nukes, many, many nukes. Long range. Also anti-missile missiles.

Make another fleet.

Have our two existing fleets attack Auldrant. Offer anon from lazorlolcatdogs in exchange for alliance.

Have all researches start researching hyperspace nullifiers, and install them on our planets.

Have GLaDOS hack the middle planet and organize EVERYTHING! Give her all free processing power, all of it, ths includes suspending all nonessential civilian programs like facebook, myspace, blogs and twitter.

Make a captital ship factory at the bottommost planet.

Yes, you can try to get in there. you'll be competing with AI and Apple, though.
also, which planet you hack first will majorly determine what SECRET will activate like first.

[V-Norrec]

Who said anything about hacking, I want to disable completely, once my scientists have discovered how whatever the hell this thing is operates, we should be able to rebuild the comm networks and solidify them as part of our empire.

[Lillipad]

You can't colonize them, nor can you claim them as part of your empire. The only way to get the planets is to hack into their network and activate the secret. If you destroy the network it will be probably have the same result as destroying the planet.

I would like to point out you have no capital shipyards, nukes require capital ships to be launched (from space at least), hyperspace inhibitors require capital shipyards in order to be researched.

[Aklyon]

you'd still have to get in first.
which involves hacking, unless you have a Ye Olde Alien on Tarsonis (which you don't, unless you researched time travel earlier and I've forgotten)
They can be disabled safely, Lillipad. If you know the password for that.

 inhibit =/= nullify, as far as I know.

Umm...why? That sounds like bullshit.

[Aklyon]

these are big nukes.
if you just want normal sized city-killer nukes instead (like the ones in the real world now), you can put thouse on whatever you want, as long as its not a fighter.

[Demonic Spoon]

Oh, okay, I wasn't planning to put them on my ships though.

[Aklyon]

even simpler.

[V-Norrec]

nullify - to deprive (something) of value or effectiveness; make futile or of no consequence.

inhibit - to restrain, hinder, arrest, or check (an action, impulse, etc.).

It's pretty daggon similar
