MY 2167 to brother knowhow2
I should have BioEng (Clean) in MY 2130; I'll assume that you both want it unless I hear otherwise.
Darius, I was going to bring up the pacifist drones, but I thought that you were building a SAM NJ from the number of rows (it was the Proto that added the rows, I guess). The p-drones are a real pain to support and as we don't have the tech for Punishment Spheres (Adv Mil Algs) yet . . . Speaking of that, we are not too far from it, especially if Knowhow2 can research Adaptive Doc as his next tech (some people have deviated from the One True Path).
There is also the option of using Police State and FM (perhaps we are going that way in RL?), but that is a big change in efficiency, I'm not sure what the overall effect would be. Green would also be a nice option to have (especially for Morgan - banned from planned), but alas, we also lack the tech (Cent Empathy) for that.

MY 2170 to brother knowhow2
I sent Bioengineering to each of you. It didn't offer me Intel Integ, Grrrrr, but it did allow me to do MMI, which I am now researching; scheduled for 2170.
Thanks for knocking off the Spartan dude Darius; if you want to have target practice on the other one too, be my guest; let me know your 'druthers. I was hoping that the Spartans would make me an offer to join them against you, but they didn't, at least not yet. If they offer me a pact, I think I would accept it and hope to turn them to our side - I could probably get them to call off your vendetta if I pacted with them and losing a half turn worth of commerce until you and I could repact wouldn't be such a big deal now that you are out of FM. Well, maybe next turn; of course, they may take the other approach and demand our tech.
I am definitely interested in the Former Swap. Depending on exactly when it was, I would meet you by the mouth of one of those two rivers which flow down from the two bases on your side (probably M.ModestoMagnifico Meml's river).

MY 2172 to brother knowhow2
Well slap my wrist;  I couldn't help myself; I knowingly  popped another pod  I even switched production to a TF at the nearest base first just in case  and was rewarded with a (just about entirely) free TF.  How's that for positive reinforcement of bad behavior? I told myself "just one more", but I'm still in the middle of 4 MORE pods!  - Help! Darius, please offer me the Optical and Non-Linear techs - If I feel strong (or foolish), I won't take them; If I feel weak (and conservative) then I'll take them - Of course, if I'm really a gambling addict, . . . .
Darius, I don't know if you are looking for any more target practice, but if you are, there seems to be an IOD with Spore Launcher at (49,1) (north of M. Onshore Bank) within range of that base; both units are green-equivalent or less morale. They have been sitting there since I popped them, so I don't know them as a threat to anything, but if you want the upgrade/cash opportunity, feel free. I am assuming that you don't see them in you view; if you do see them, let me know and I'll stop pointing out the obvious. There is another similar IOD (with 2 MWs) at (35,3) but I think that is out of your range.

MY 2175 to commissioner knowhow2
I'm going to try to stay in FM & Wealth for as long as I can, sacrificing Wealth if I need tougher troops, but trying to hang on to FM. I will therefore probably need a base featuring a Punishment Sphere, said base which I haven't started yet and said facility for which we still lack the tech (Advanced Military Algorithms). I do think I know about where the base will be (on the coast below Mt. Planet probably) and the tech is near.
When you finish Adaptive Doctrine, knowhow2, one of the next steps toward fusion is Advanced Military Algorithms; its prereqs are Optical and Adaptive, which you will have. I would strongly recommend that you research Advanced Military Algorithms if you can. If you can't or don't, please give me the Adaptive Doc right away so I can try to get it. My tech changeover is shortly after yours as currently estimated. The other prereqs for Fusioin that we can research are Intel Integrity and Supercomputers.
I'm going to be in New York for about a week starting tomorrow (Saturday) sometime. I don't expect any trouble playing my turns, but there may be some delays while I'm in transit and/or otherwise occupied. Of course, there is always the chance that I will have some technical difficulties up there, so if I don't appear on-line for a few days and/or my turns don't get played, that will be why - If any of that happens, I'll try to get word to the thread if I can, but I don't really expect any trouble.

Suffice it to say that they have 4 transports and two Unity transports, and are starting to produce missile (level 6 weapon) units. They have ten bases, and are 24 turns away from completing the Citizen's Defense Force. Oh, and they have a 90% damaged probe team where I stupidly tried to steal a tech without first checking to see if they had a probe team in that base 
(too tired to be playing).
I didn't even think about that.
But feel free to continue pointing out targets. You're right that I can't see them.
