	CN build delayed further. Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

I've been trying to balance the ECs for pop booming our proposed science cities. However looking at when everything finishes I've realised that the CN build looks like it has been pushed back 8-10 years from the originally proposed date. We originally were going to build it in 2139. Now it looks like 2147 or 2149 if we follow all my facility building plans first.

Although in 6 years the university may have researched loyalty. I was reading curiousity's thread about playing the university. http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...279#post2394279

She says that University will probably play aggressively. This goes contrary to what I saw in Archaic's single player game, which I was basing some of my decisions on. This means that the university may decide to get the CN, especially since it's our SP and we took the university's VW SP.

I'm going to delay the turn until I can get the numbers together. If I can't get the CN built in good time eg (2144), I guess we could switch back to crawler building, rather than facility building. In that case I'll rush the CN this turn.

What do people think?

Can we afford to wait another 8 years before we build the CN, we gain some advantages from doing that? On the other hand we stand to lose the CN if the university decides to annoy us and research it before us.

No! The CN is rightfully ours! Donīt let the Uni claim what belongs to the Hive!

I have said this in the past and I will say it again:
We need the CN. We are a militaristic faction, therefore the advantage of +2 Morale for EVERY unit is too valuable to us.
Plus, we are going to have a huge amount of bases. So every opportunity to get free facilities should - no, MUST be used.

BUILD THE CN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!

Our advantage at this time is big enough (thank you, Kody ) to have a break and waste some ressources to the higher goal. And I am not considering the CN as a waste.
