I'd be willing to try - replace the pirates. hjcarr01 at athena.louisville.edu - note I've just load the XP patch so I'm compatable with everyone in a game - will the mess this one up.

Newsflash.
The Admiral Svensgaard of the Nautilus Pirates was seriously wounded in a battle with a Isle of the Deep during a recon mission he personally lead. He has entered a deep coma, and it is feared that he may not recover. Until such time, his nephew, Ulrik Svensgaard III will take over the mantle of the leadership of the Nautilus Pirates.
(reach me at hjcarr01 at athena.louisville.edu - don't need to zip turns to that address)

By the way, I emailed the CMN - no password yet, I do have the turn. Please email me on any interactions our factions have had, I am going to try to not make any massive changes initially. Ethics sort of thing, I wouldn't want a replacement in a game I was playing undo a couple of months of play, so I will try to extend the same here as long as it doesn't hamstring me too far.

Need a little help. Never run into this before, it's like one of those challenges where you do the start 30 years in the future, and try to fix all the AI's terraforming errors.
If a base (without facilities) stays in drone riots (I am looking at three additional turns - four total) can it go to another faction if the Domai isn't in the game? To stop the drone riots I instead am stuck with starvation at the base. That loses alot of nutriet production, which takes forever at this base (obviously, or they wouldn't be facing these choices).
There is something being producted there that's worthwhile, and I could convert it into a garrison unit. But will the garrison unit get produced even with an overage of minerals (red boxes) during consecutive drone riot turns? I've never run into this on my own, never been stuck with the choice.
Edit - forgot to ask, the stockpile energy bug. Never, after non-military, or any time?

Sven stepped into the spartan grey cafeteria in the outlaying base. He wondered what in hell possessed them to put it in a gods fosaken place like this. There were no paticular resources anywhere. He looked around. The only decorations were the vomit from the night before, when the idiots had busted up a years production. That, and aforementioned slovenly idiots lying in druken comas. Their overalls may once have been grey, but now were coated with grease, food, and various other stains that shared a common lineage with the floor. They added color, and odor, to the room.
He walked over and vicously kicked one of rioters. The man grunted. Sven had checked the survellience videos in the production area, those that weren't broken. This was one of the ring leaders, he could tell from the greasy red hair and the broken nose.
"Up, you lazy swab." He kicked him again. As the man blurrily opened his eyes, grabbing for his belt knife, Svensgaard III pulled out his hand laser and placed it on the man's forehead. He snarled, "Go ahead, I need an example."
The man's eyes widened, recognizing their new leader. His hand dropped from his knife, and he started stammering, trying to explain. Sven listened. They had just been celebrating, they hated this hellhole, there were three men to every woman, and processed tree greens had been the only food. Then they had figured out reset the synthesizers to make rotgut, and they'd had some fun for the first time in a decade.
He cursed his uncle silently, under his breath. Sailors had to have their fun. Why hadn't uncle Ulrik put something, anything, for recreation, instead of the hush-hush production? All Sven knew was that he would make a difference, if only the other factions gave him the time. In the meantime he had to find out how much of the food synthesizer could be salvaged. Damn it, how did these morons expect to eat? You don't convert food production to alcohol, you build a f***ing still.

Hobbes, I'll send you the turn I received right now, with a short analysis. I think I have the answer of what I"m going to do - the player wasn't bad, just a little inexeperienced (well, maybe alot). After you give it a look, I'll foward the turn to the next player, though I cannot do it earlier than in the morning (no games at work).

Rubin, did you send the turn to hjcarr01 at louisville.edu.com. I've been through that and my hotmail accounts, and checked all my trash. Nothing at all. Could you resend?

shawnmmcc: Hmm, I've only used the [hjcarr01 AT athena DOT louisville DOT edu] when sending mails to you. I've resent 2144 to this one again and to the new account from the above post. Hence, resent twice.
I usually play my turn within 12-24 hours. I try to post whenever I pass the turn along and in case the turn does not show up, please e-mail me immediately (that is to say, do not wait 36 hours and then post in the turn thread).
Well, I'm a bit confused now and have also decided to attach the turn here.
(Edit: File deleted.)
