Official: Cancel Sea Bases? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

i had this discussion a while ago...in a turnchat i believe, but i just never remembered to make the poll for it. anyways...

should we cancel our planned construction of sea bases in the Mouth of Hercules and Sea of Pholus? i ask this because of little interest in governor positions, and the fact that sea bases are more or less useless

anyways, here is a map of the planned sites, each labeled with a number:


you have 2 days.

hmm, at least one would be nice for, at the least, an early warning system for that section of the coast... governorial duties could fall to centralis or someone could just volunteer...

what does everyone think about these bases, do we need them?

Not really. If we want an EWS, all we need is a few trawlers with Deep Radar. They could help pay for themselves, and would be much cheaper to boot.

EDIT: Where the hell is site 3?

Just cancel them all, we can hit Yang from Capricorn and UNXB, further penetration can be accomplished from conquered (or perhaps planted) bases once his coast is rubble-ized.

And I think site 3 is the place that escorted sea colony pod is heading for right now, very close to Yang's coast.

Cancel the sea Bases.

If we want to build more bases, it would be both safer and more efficient to terraform some terrain up to raise some land.

Land is much more easier to terraform properly.

Besides, this will also have the advantages of having our newly bases being built near existing ones. Not only for protection but also to create roads fasters and have formers and crawlers quickly in place.

The one scheduled for near the Hive Coast (within 3/4 moves fron Hive bases, by chopper, I am in favour of).

I am in favour of sea bases generally, so the other one in the mouth of Hercules at B3 I would be in favour of building.

Is every one aware that there is a sea colony pod out there ( AFAIK). This is not theory anymore.
There is a colony of god knows how many our citizens looking to start a new base/life.

It (pod) is not heading for B3, I thought it was heading much further north and very close to Hive coast.

the sea colony pod out there (only 1, right?) is headed towards the site just off Yang's coast, no? That one is not being questioned.

Or is there another one?

Sorry to say that TKG, but this poll is unconstitutionnal. Out of 9 voters, 10 votes have been received for option 3.

Sea bases bring lots of citizens (for votes and specialists) and lots of energy. A decent sea region is a must have for any respectable region, especially those who can multiply the votes like the UN Peacekeepers.

This can only mean each of the options for the third site has received a vote. So it doesn't falsify the results. Just count one vote less for each option. If we had to declare all polls illegal where someone misvoted...

Will you govern it? I voted 'Cancel' of course. I don't plan on performing umpteen missing jobs if I can prevent it, in case I become AT again.

The currents results are 6 to 5. If you cancel one of each, results would be 5 to 4. But if you cancel only one vote, the one mistaken, results can be 5 to 5 or 6 to 4, which is very different. Moreover, it could be several people who abstained, AND several people who voted for both options...

So we can't know. But no one has come forward to say his vote has been wrong, so we can only work on the results we have. *shrugs*

I was aware of that. That was why I asked the rhetorical question. I hope you have a great time in NY, but please don't leave us with the mess of bases we can't govern.

We need sea bases to exert stricter control over the sea territory - otherwise Morgan or another faction is liable to plop a base off our coast and eat up our resources.
