[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] So the bad guys incinerate themselves after all. Could have gone in and blasted them to pieces to begin with. :) 1 a) I'll get a big command ship now that I can. After all, Starfleet promised me one once. An Ambassador... No, make that an early Niagara, just for fun. (I still play the early 24th century game) And two transports with all those medical facilities and other goodies my already available unit has. All my transports are now shipping goods from Tekanan to Lysara, in help of the factions in need. My Mirandas hover over the region, too, while by biggest ships now gravitate towards the Kestu space. The Constellation provides early warning between Lysara and Kestu. b) The Kestu were already once suspected of piracy (did that happen?). I use all my political leverage on that to shut these people up and make them look bad. My Niagara and Excelsiors now openly move to Kestu space to "investigate" the incident where my ship (a Miranda) was lost. The Constellation, the tender and two Mirandas go there, too, while one Miranda plus the transports try to help Lysara. c) I ask the Tekanans to lend their ships for use against the Kestu - that'll keep them from using them to provoke the aliens. While I talk the Tekanans into providing direct refuge to the people, I also help the Lysarans to move to that class L planet. My free Miranda goes there to make sure I get the dibs for any contact with the aliens. d) With the implication of Starfleet involvement, the Kestu crisis becomes a personal business. I assign two of the Excelsiors to long-term duty above Kestu and use their resources to find out how the bombs got there. I also start distributing Tekanan resources to help the Kestu. Their other alternative is to directly receive both Lysaran and Kestu refugees. My Mirandas go back to shipping protection, and my Constellation to the alien border. 2 a) If I promised to share the data with the Lysarans who helped me get it, I'll do so. Otherwise, it will go through Starfleet channels. Once it returns from its little Earth circuit, I'll be long gone. :) b) I recommend an initial recce mission by two large independently operating starships, with a second wave prepared using the Sector Alpha starbase as the staging post. This second wave will include smaller, more "dependent" vessels and the construction of a supply infrastructure. I promote Tekanan involvement in the project, as well as the permission to start settling the class L planet at once for local needs. 3 a) I would let the Lysarans buy the base, but I would set initial conditions for the base to act in support of the Starfleet push to Saalit space. That would give SF some control over how the station is run early on. I also want Starfleet to set monitoring outposts close to the (former) Saalit border - these will compensate for the loss of the starbase. b) For now, rebuilding is the priority, and PD concerns should no longer arise. I recommend continuing the use of Mirandas for shipping protection and the applying of Starfleet transports for humanitarian help. I further recommend that the Excelsiors be kept above Kestu and the story of the SF bombs be investigated. Finally, a proper starport should now be built on Kestu as well, to provide a balance of trade - the new government there should be brought closer to the UFP by this project. As for the arsenal, I recommend that small local-defence ships be added in great numbers for shipping control. Also, I'd like the Tekanans to build more ships (Excelsiors, mainly) for local use if the bastards really sold their initial batch to the Lysarans... c) Again, I'd prefer to start with a lone explorer doing the initial recce and then setting shop. So I sail off in my new Niagara. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
