Developments of the Bretonian Region

[Dab]

Well, the current plans include a BMM base in Edinburgh mining the field near to the Dublin hole. And mollies hate BMM more than anyone, so a molly presence in Edinburgh would seem to offer them better targets than Cambridge, which has no BMM as it is mined by the IMG
Oh come on....

How do you expect anyone to make mod changes in that case? By your reasoning most of 4.85 shouldn't have happened because "previously invisible" planets and things appeared. Let's concentrate on discussing what ought to be where, not how to justify the suddenness of its appearance.

I expect new fields and planets to be in new systems.. Empty systems get filled in. Already-modded ones do in exceptional circumstances, and vanilla systems should rarely, if ever, get added solar content (nebula/field/planet/sun).

And while we're discussing what out to be where, please tell me what point there is in Mollys making a base in a system filled with nothing but enemies, and where Gaians are already terrorizing both Planetform and OS&C, meaning Mollys don't need to. Furthermore, being only a single jump hole away from the Molly headquarters, what is the point in making another base when it takes a Molly a matter of minutes to travel from Arranmore to Edinburgh and then accomplish whatever goal he is trying to accomplish.. Making a Molly base in Edinburgh is redundant and is of no benefit whatsoever to the Mollys. However, Cambridge has a major route to Rheinland, invading Corsairs, BAF breadbasket, IMG, and a jump from a system containing the Red Hessians, who are the 'Mollys' of Rheinland.
That location is also much more secure from the standpoint of Kusari. If Kusari takes all of Leeds, Edinburgh is at great risk. Why chance a base in a system KNF might invade? Cambridge on the other hand is much safer, but with a jump hole unknown to KNF that connects to Leeds, where the Mollys would be able to strike at them.

Also, why would Mollys give a toss about Planetform, OS&C, or Gaians? If Gaians stay out of the way, I doubt Mollys care much about them one way or another.
