I voted "A" by mistake.   

[Ehndras]

I'm keeping my eyes on this one. Also thinking of playing Aurora, this will help me work on strategy and gameplay before diving headfirst into chaos myself

[Thranx]

I think that in order to keep track of edits for orders each player on this forum should pick a color for their edits I will pick green

Anyway here is my edit for the orders the major change that I propose is that we dedicate our best scientist to research increased research speeds  as the soon we get them the longer they have to pay off and in games like gaining or not gaining superior technology will win or lose the game thus research speeds should be our first priority

Space Orders:
Send the survey ship to survey Saturn and its moons, then Uranus and Neptune, then start work on the Oort Cloud.
Remaining ships should remain at Titan. If a single infidel ship approaches Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune, a squadron of gunboats should be sent to destroy it. If a fleet approaches, our fleet should form up and take the battle to the enemy (Carrier should stay at outer sensor range, destroyer and gunboats move in, if they start taking fire the gunboats will charge ahead at full speed). Ideally, infidel ships should be warned to leave before being fired upon, and only shot if they keep coming.
If a gravitational survey ship completes, have it begin surveying the system for jump points.

Industrial Orders
Produce 20 construction factories with 100% of our planetary industry
Produce
Produce 3 Hufuf FACs and 1 Mosul survey ship
Train an Engineering Brigade
If we finish gravitational survey sensors, build a gravitational survey ship in the destroyer shipyard.
If we finish small jump gate constructors, retool the all-peaceful yard and begin building a jump gate constructor.

Research Orders
Either with our best construction/production scientist, or best other scientist if we don't have one, to increase research two levels.
Use any leftover labs, in order:
Develop jump theory and jump gate construction modules and and Gravitational Survey Sensors
A Construction/Production scientist, or best unused scientist otherwise, should research on Construction rate 12, then mining rate 12, then (assuming jump point theory is done) research a small jump gate construction module.
Sensors/fire control specialist or best available: Active Grav sensor strength 12, EM sensor sensitivity 8, Active Grav Sensor Strength 14, Planetary Sensor Strength 300. If Jump point theory finishes, this scientist should drop everything to research gravitational survey sensors.
Logistics/Ground Combat research on improved command and control.
Missile/Kinetic research on, in order: Gun type fission warhead (strength 2), Reduced Size Launcher .75, Implosion Fission Warhead (Strength 3), Missile Agility 20, Levitated Pit Implosion warhead (strength 4), Reduced Size Launcher .5


Other Orders
Send a message to the Mercurians. Say that We just want to be left alone, and claim all space beyond the asteroid belt. Warn them that any vessel intruding into our space will be warned off, and then fired upon if it proceeds.

If/when gravitational survey sensors complete, design a grav survey ship. It should use military engines, have plenty of fuel and engineering spaces, and be less than 4,000 tons (possibly much less). No need for weapons.
If small jump gate construction modules finish, design a civilian jump gate constructor. Give it a little extra fuel, but otherwise keep it simple.

[EuchreJack]

Oh yeah, that giant survey vessel should totally dive in and out of Uranus, probing for the stuff of life!  Heyah! 

[Talfryn]

Eventually, Insha'Allah, the Caliph should assert his superiority over the infidels by terraforming Venus.

It would be even more impressive if we terraform Mercury

(Into a methane atmosphere!)

[Stworca]

I've voted B, which should change to A as soon as it's safe to do so. As it should be!

[Felius]

Keep the war cold folks. At least until we relocate our capital to another star system.

About the infrastructure, couldn't you alter the stats of Titan with the SM a little bit, just enough to raise the base temp enough so it can be fully terraformed? Or if not, why not use one of its sister moons?

[shadenight123]

hmm can i be a captain of a battlecruiser? (luckily i won't be giving orders, just to know what one of our battlecruisers will eventually do)
name it Garibaldi (the battlecruiser) if you can.
(starting to play with italian themed ships and officers XD)

The temperature problem with Titan has to do with its distance from the sun.  The other moons have similar problems due to being similar distances from the sun.  Besides, Titan is acceptable gravity-wise, which may not be the case with other planets.  Have to chalk up the Titan infastructure to the limits of SM.

[Ehndras]

Great, I keep getting error 94 now, must have misdesignated something during combat

Not really. I've read something about it on the Aurora Forums. The creator reduced the base temperature in titan more than he did on the other moons, to reach the correct final temperature, as, if I remember correctly, as he wasn't aware of how the real titan is more reflective than the game makes it so. This also had the side effect of making Titan impossible to completely terraform, which isn't true for it's sister moons, which all have a slightly higher base temperature.

1st January 1542

The GE Mosul, the first spacecraft to leave Titan since Armageddon depart to survey Saturn and its Moon. May Allah grant us the minerals we'll need to crush the infidels!

21st  January

God is Great! Duranium was found on Phoeboe, 20,000 tons of it in rich deposit near the surface, easily accessible.

3rd February

The Mosul found great deposits on Titania. We shall not let the infidels use them, but instead use those against them!

19th March

Due to its outstanding scholarship, the ulema Abdul al-Azred was awarded an audience with the Caliph. His staff was greatly motivated and he now say that he can make a breakthrough in information technology that could greatly improve our labs' efficiency. The new technologies should be ready for deployment by mid-june instead of mid-july.

17th of April

The Mosul finish surveying the Outer Planets and will now explore the Oort Clout. May Allah grant us some more minerals.

27th of May

Three Hufhuf class Gunboats are finished. They will stay in orbit as reserve should some of our Carrier- or PDC-based squadron suffer losses.

17th of June
Abdul al-Azred was right. It is estimated that our labs are now 20% more effective. Happy with his success, the Caliph ordered him to pursue his works on information technology. Al-Azred has promised him further advance by February next year.

2nd of July
Shade Night, an Amir-ul-Ashar (Commodore) was put into command of the Garibaldi PDC. He is said to have many political connection and could well become Amir-ul-Jaish (Admiral) one day.

5th of September
I am afraid the infidels will win this war. Already I can see their spies everywhere, I am sure they are counterfeiting our survey report. The Lord wouldn't let us with so few minerals.

7th of November
Their spies are everywhere. They wage a constant war of nerves against me. I must find a way to counter-attack.

31th of December
They have taken control of the Caliph's mind! After I executed half of the High Council for High Treason (how fitting!) the Caliph ordered me executed for murders and conspiracy against the Realm!
May Allah bring reason into  his mind and victory into his hands, and may the remaining Councellor make sure he follow His will.

Please point out any error, and excuse my lateness. Next turn should be up by next weekend. Also, I fixed Titan's temperature. The drop in emissions is due to the removal of the now useless 2,000,000 infrastructures.

[Bremen]

Can we get info on currently active scientists and research projects?

Also, those are some awesome mineral deposits on Titania, though we'll probably want to keep an eye out for more Corundium and Neutronium.
