They expected an attack, yes... but how could they know there will be another attack wave which goes after Naxos? From all indications, what they expected as arrived and started attacking Samnos, and then expect to attack Naxos right afterwards... also, wasn't there unitsdiverted from Naxos to Samnos to help with the defence, hmm? Anyway, no one expected the second wave... even the Earth Coalition. No fancy predictions from sabotage acts will reveal the exact attack plan, and not into the idea of BAC people to receive visions from the gods either. They came out of FTL, so couldn't detect them coming to the system...

Second, how did you suddenly get past the Cyclads and head down to two more systems, which will soon be property of the Spartan Federation (as soon as I find time to write the post down)? |
ummm, didn't i said before that three systems will be attacked at around the same time? meaning, three seperate attack forces, meaning, three different paths to their targets....which is direct FTL jump from Sol to the target systems.... distances short enough to crash into anything too. Attack forces left in different times, so they could arrive in each target system about the same time.... and for the Cycladic system, two seperate waves with different timing, mainly to see if EC can seriously be trusted in time of war....which they proved not to be. Anyway, I also said TA will attack three systems and take them in retaliation of losing.
TA actions and the its plans will not be dictated by other players...only the result can by your own faction's actions. which is why no script cannot be followed in full details.

OK, Kass. As for the Samnos/Naxos posts...OK. I do disagree with what Mellian has so far written, as I think LMP is making things move faster than they would in actuality move, but that's OK, I suppose. What bugs me most is that the Terrans "completely surprised" my men on Naxos, which can't possibly have been so at all. Sorry!
|
How am I making things move faster? The idea of the Terran attacks is to enter three systems and take it as quickly as possible.... will worry about properlly securing the system later.
maybe i should remove completly, but i don't remember saying ON Naxos, maybe AT Naxos initially, when the second wave appeared out of FTL and not being expected....so the second wave does have the initial surprise bonus and have the initiative to start firing on any Morganite ships and defence platforms before the Morganites does.

Mellian, I do hope you remember that the Spartans have a strike fleet in the Morgan Cooperate Sector. They may not be able to make it to Samnos, but they will be able to make it to the next system that is far closer. And when they do arrive shortly they will be protecting Spartan Territory.
|
Yes, but they won't know where to move until they receive news that those systems are being attacked as well...and by the time the Spartan Fleet gets there, it will become TA Territory, even before that territorial treaty perk becomes active. The other two systems will be easier to take then Cyclanid, and less time.
weren't you paying attention to me blabbering that TA will attack three systems, and will get to their targets right after the decleration of war from TA is sent. TAF took precautions, but somehow EC knew of atleast Cyclanid as system TA will attack and sabotage happened. Attacks are to take the systems as quickly as possible, and then be ready for any retaliation or ships coming to help out with the defence. That was the plans from the start, and why I was annoyed by current events concerning it! don't like it when other player take advantage of future action before it happens...like they the gods sent visions to some in their faction that this will happen. This Territory treaty perk of the Corporate Sector wouldn't of been thought up if I didn't mention that TA will be attacking three of the nearest morganite systems...and then not keen to see things are happening to jeopadize the future actions in response, which is unrealistic and annoying. What happens after TA acquires the three systems depends on what will be your factions next moves. Hive wouldn't be involved either if i didn't mention the plans for the future TA actions.

I may be wrong, but are the Spartans the only ones that have peacefully settled a system since this story began?  |
TA is surrounded and practicly all useful systems within realistic grasp of TA as been taken.... hard to peacefully settle a system.

for crying out loud, been saying that for a long time  and switching the deed of three systems during a war seriously doesn't make sense and won't prevent war. Systems will be taken before the Morganites/Spartans announces the deal. ANYWAY, TA will keep the systems...and will be Spartans' fault for getting involve in the war.
quote:
He will of course officially tell the Terrans to leave the systems other than the one with Samnos since it has been Spartan land since the Morgan Senate officially transferred title. But thats what you get when you attack the Spartans source of raw materials. Maybe the Morgan colonies on the other side of the Terrans would have been a better choice.
|
No, thats what you get when you allow someone else decide where the three nearest morganite systems will be... meaning, wasn't my choice. YOU as player chose to get the Spartans involve, YOU and History decided to have godly intervention by bringing this transferred of title thing without mention it way before. OFFICIALLY, TA's intentions was to take Morganite systems, not Spartans...and will not stop attacking just because morganite/spartan decided to transfer titles in the middle of the attacks on three seperate systems. TA will not be an aggressor against the Spartans, as they didn't know of the perk and the Spartans got the deeds in the middle of war...being their fault for getting involved, not the Terrans. Even dare say that that TA is the Aggressor against the Spartans, I am getting the Peacekeepers involved one way or the other. :doitnow: as Kerensky will not trust the Protectorate as they are not exactly neutral: a non-democratic faction that currently as problems with the Hive, more keen to make friends with the Chironians then with the Terrans.... in the divine existence of reality, don't think Lonestar is on my side over this matter

Franky-- Sounds OK to me!
Ahem, the Spartan siren song? Excuse me while I fire a planet buster up Yang's nose. 
Thanks for the compliment. M.I. might be a rich obese empire, and all, but it's still democratic. The Senate is a mix between the Roman senate, the American senate, and the British parliament. It's Romanesque, as you can tell, otherwise Senator Wilde wouldn't be receiving such messages.
LordMP-- Naxos is on Yellow Alert, the ships are bunched together there, there are skirmishers patrolling all around Naxos. Within minutes of your first attacks there Merrill can bring all of his force over to stem the tide. He knows you'll take over, but he's doing the 'Wyatt Earp thang'. In other words, you'll overwhelm me and get me, but I'll take a lot of you down with me. That sort of thing.
I didn't send too many ships out to attack Samnos, Merrill allowed that too fall easier, only sending four frigates. He's got battleships up at Naxos.
By the way, in attacking those three systems, you are now not only up against the Spartans and myself, but also my Novan mercenaries!!! 
Sprayber-- Hey, look, here comes Kerensky...
Kerensky (crawling): Look, Morgan, I beg of you...call off the dogs...they've taken back everything we conquered!
Morgan: The dogs, Monsieur?
Kerensky: The Spartans, you jerk!
Morgan: Pfui! Is that anyway to speak to CEO Morgan and his friends?

yes yes, but Naxos wasn't expecting a second group of ships to come out of FTL NEAR Naxos and start firing on any morganite ship in view right of the bat.... so even if they are ready for attack, that kind of entry would suprise some people, even more when they started firing as soon as they got out of FTL. So, I really doubt they have lightning fast reaction time or exactly know what is going to happen just by some acts of sabotage. I'll edit the word complete off the post, but I am leaving surprise as it is justified.

no matter, they will get nailed by the opening volley from the TA ships.

Not exactly, has they didn't reply yet on wether they are taking the job.... only saw your Message to them, but no response or the pirate intro. Anyway, the other two would be a lot easier to take quickly then the Cyclanid system.

It is that kind of view of TA i am annoyed with and now your mocking Kerensky 
anyway, still have the Kane Bloc

Cyber-- Yes, please do post!
LordMP-- Was I supposed to write a response from the Novans?? 
Now, as for Naxos, who will write the opening post on the attack there, and the fall of Samnos?
What's Franky up to?
Sprayber, perhaps you should write a response to Morgan before LordMP conquers more stoff.
Kassiopeia, come on, we need ya man!
Silence-- That's good, send your men down here quickly. You already have squadrons in the Pollux system that'll reach here before the second and third systems fall, and so they and my garrison and Sprayber's boy there can stem the tide somewhat.
Mr. Prez-- Well then, hurrah for the Drones!

sorry, you made it sound like a full-blown invasion. With "3rd Fleet" and "Admiral" attacking a listening post, I would think that that would be overkill. But maybe that's just the Protectorate way. 
I didn't know that Morgan Interstellar had a senate. Like the little insight to M.I.'s social and government structure.
