Discussion: Green stuff..

Mostly energy settings.
I think it's time for another poll somewhere at the end of this week.
Anyone care to do some research? Give some suggestions?

For example: Psych, or fix the drone problems with Empaths?
More Science, or more income?

We shouldn't push for more cash, as we are making ungodly amounts of cash and still managing to buy me the troops I ask for!

Science can't be significantly improved right now I think, and the Supercollider/ToE will do a fair amount of work there anyway. If we could aim for GAs in all bases that can handle them that would be a great start.

I've got plans to spend a fair amount of the money we're making, but in order really keep up with the income... The person playing would pretty much have to go through our whole faction every other turn or so, rushing most anything over 10 mins... and GT's sanity is already being tried by 100+ formers.

edit- of course, another way to spend large quantities of ecs is to upgrade all our units... best to wait until after we build the Nano Factory for that, though.

/me drools at the thought of so many state-of-the-art units at his disposal.

Excellent idea.

mk, when do we expect to have the Nano Factory?

GeneralTacticus · March 21, 2003, 04:58

Sometime during the enxt chat, most likely.

Indeed, if for some reason we can't research Biomachinery (the game's been in a fantastic streak of denying us our first choice lately) we'll go for Ind Nano, which will allow us to build the Nano Factory about 4 turns in. Even if BM is available we'll go for IN next, so 7 turns in (the end of the chat if we go all 7 turns) at worst.

Here's a suggestion: it's too late for an NF poll to be ready by the chat, so beginning construction during the chat might be frowned upon by some people... you can, however, construct a bunch of crawlers to be used to insta-build the NF at the beginning of the next chat.

Do any of you governorial folk want the NF, or do I have to build it somewhere in JV if I want it at all?

GeneralTacticus · March 21, 2003, 21:02

Well, I'm not a Governor, but I'd like to see it built in NA.

Archaic · March 21, 2003, 21:51

As would I. It's not like the Centralis region has much else to build at this point as it is.
