[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] Sorry about the wait folks, but I had to do this at work. It looks like the mobo is totaled, so am without a home computer for a while, which is just what you need the week before you plan to submit a thesis, isn't it....[/grumble] [b]Question 4[/b] <ol style="list-style-type: upper-alpha;"> [b]Part A[/b] [list=1] [*]Fabrux. I agree that the way things stand you’d have trouble defending the region. Your patrols leave a wide defensive gap around Baumonde and also leave out the ‘southern’ region, which is a potential (if unlikely) route in through Xepolite territory. However, you have a defensive ring around Wyo and, unlike me you have concentrated your forces into two distinct groups – mine are patrolling the whole region and leaving everything spread pretty thin! [*]If the convey headed for G38 is a prelude to an invasion fleet they might be able to make a quick break through the gap and make a beeline for Minos Korva, certainly colonising G38 in the process and probably heading forJ123/ Beaumond as well. My patrols would converge on G38 along with Walker to try to stop this, but may have to play catch up if they get too good a head start. [/list] </li> [b]Part B[/b] I am not happy with this at all. My patrols will have to alter their routes thus: Wellington will remain North, patrolling Iadara to Baro Foro, with Moore tagging along. Hokaido will continue to support the southern region, but between Wyo and Amanda. Ougadougo and Rotherham (my transports) will be ordered to keep back from the emerging front line. Renown will establish a patrol around Wyo, and Walker will move from Minos Korva to a circular patrol around Beaumonde. Strict instructions will be made to avoid close proximity to Kavndor and the Cardassian outpost. A region wide yellow alert is issued. This puts several colonies in extreme proximity to them and has me very worried. [b]Part C[/b] I’d be most surprised if they didn’t have spies – we do after all. She’s right, in that the priority is to winkle out the spies, but if we start detaining every Tom, Dick and Harry that come by we’re going to start to loose friends, trade and potentially start trouble where we needn’t. The normal procedures we run should suffice until she can show me something more substantial that stating the obvious, and so I recommend further work by our friends on the trading station to try to identify the spymasters in the region. We’re in a cold war at the moment, so we might as well act like it. [b]Part D[/b] [list=1] [*]Well I am tempted by the oomph of a heavy cruiser, such as an Ambassador or Excelsior, common sense tells me to get two ships, perhaps a Challenger to assist the Wyo patrol and and a Freedom to support Beaumond. [*]I assume that as long established colonies Iadara, Valten and Minos Korva have half decent defences. They are also away from the developing front, so most likely we’ll have warning if they are attacked. To some extent the same applies to Shawaddywaddy, at the moment out of danger. Suggest a good sensor grid upgrade and light defences, such as drones. I don’t want to mine there yet. Wyo base is now my central defence point, and as such should probably have fighters stationed there. Baeumond will benefit from the presence of Walker, but given its position between the Cardassian outpost and their new colony suggests I need to think hard about this. I suspect I might need to mine the system, as I can’t really afford to much more at the moment and order Walker to make the appropriate preparations. I definitely need to upgrade the sensors in this system. [/list] </li> [b] Part E [/b] [list=1] [*]Since we were beaten to system G38, I have suggested colonising efforts on Baro Foro and mining on planet II – all in on this one. The Cardassians are sure to have seen the events as we did and we have to beat them to it. Looks like they chose the wrong system to colonise! All transports are to move immediately to the area and Wellington and Moore are to tighten their patrol around that system. I am also going to have to fortify my position there, as I think when the shit hits the fan this system will be the one that the Cardassians go for – proximity to the nebula and their new colony make this a near certainty in my eyes. Let’s get what we can and try to give ourselves the best position for the future. My suspicions are that putting a base in Wyo has helps stave of Cardassian expantion in that region, but that I may lose the system at some point. [*]As per part D.2 & E.1, I shall have a patrol around the planet and may need to immediately fortify the system, probably the easiest way would be by mining it. I suspect that this is where it’s going to kick off so I may leave the new Challenger around Wyo when it gets here and move the Renown to Baro Foro as well, but there is always the chance that by doing so I leave Wyo to thinly defended. My immediate priority is to get Baro Foro though.D. [/list] </li></ol> [/QB][/QUOTE]
