I started the turn. There are still some major decisions to make.
We infiltrated Zak. He has EcoEng, EnvEcon, HEC, etc. Two probes are in ZZT, set to reload the transport and steal some of those juicy techs.
We ran into a Spartan SSC Hunter, a 2-1 foil, on our coast. We have one more move left with our gator boat. I propose we subvert that bad boy. See Spartan Diplomacy for my justification. It will cost 108 ec, and we have over 300 right now. I don't want to wait to see whether they obliterate our expensive gator boat and chalk it up to violation of the Modo Doctrine.
Our southern gator boat popped a pod and auto-completed Half an SP on Wheels at Choke On This. 
This is a big turn, ladies and gentleman. I'll be gone approximately 12-40 hours, but back with plenty of time to finish out the turn.

Here's an end-turn file...
Using only the Uni F4 screen to view terrain and worker allocation, I was able to figure out where the Uni bases are. I did not need to use any bugs like "goto" or right clicking unexplored terrain.
Budushii Dvor (0,24)
Okretia Discovery (1,17)
Monitoring Station (83,19)
Yang's power took a steep dive. This can happen when a faction no longer has the highest weapon tech. So the Spartans must have discovered SFF.
I subverted the Spartan boat. It almost paid for itself by popping a pod for 75 ec and removing the 9 min prototype cost for our laser foil. It also popped another pod for some kelp (blah). Paramiria, the home base for the SCC Hunter, will starve down to one, and is having some mineral issues, but we can deal with that in the coming turns.
Sorry if there wasn't much input from the team on the subversion decision because of the holiday... AndiD was the only one who posted anything, and he "tended to agree". The time to act decisively was upon us. Feel free to oust me, especially since I've been trying to hand over the turn-playing. (The temporariness of my tenure did not affect my judgement, though-- I would've done the same thing had I considered my position permanent.)
My proposed message to the Spartans: "You have been found in violation of the Modo Doctrine. Your trespassing foil has been dealt with accordingly. Payments have been suspended due to the state of Vendetta you have forced upon us. If you wish for payments to resume, please negotiate a criminal settlement with any Morgan diplomat in the Embassy."
We rushed a ton of stuff with our insane 300+ reserves. We're down to 12 ec now.

I'm back and looked around.
My thoughts.
It looks that we are now at war with Sparta. I see that w have:
a lot of cash income;
A number of defensive probes (it would be better if more of them were on Rover Chassis);
A couple of gator boats;
Very little else in the way of military power (our true power is our cash flow and probe actions).
I see that Sparta has:
MCC very bad for us;
CN makes their units more difficult to deal with; and
infitration of us.
My thought are:
We MUST contact the other factions.
Sparta is in danger of running away with the game we need the other factions help in containing Sparta.
It may be hard to run past Spartan Naval forces with their +2 MCC movement plus to get contact but we should try.
We are getting nothing from the Hive right now. We should consider probing them and (perhaps) trying to lay the blame on Sparta. I know that this will be harder with low morale probe units.
I don't think that we were prepared for a war right now (but then again I don't think the Spartans were as ready as the would like to be either).
We should prepare our probes for an active defense (infiltrate any captured base followed up by succesive tech aqusistions and probe purchase) to counter hostile Spartan actions that can arrive on our shores withing 2 turns.
I am relieved tht Rubin has begun to take a more active part in the game as his skills are greatly needed (I agree with his suggestions in his most recent post).

It looks like the Zak is at war with Miriam.

I propose more gator boats, for patrolling, stealing from Uni/Hive, and infiltrating Sparta. Alternatively, a lot more rover probes, for the same (with a transport or two), and for counterattack, etc. Or a combination. |
Yes, we musr concentrate on probe units (boats, ships, and rovers).
Our only real military are the probes. The existence of extensive probe forces will make a spartan offensive action against us risky for them. Addtionally, the probes will lead to greater profits in terms of technology, conquest and information.
