Ok, the rash of development in Edinburgh, yes, will upset the Gaians. I'm not sure I understand why. We're avoiding the bloody planet. And it is that, a rash of development, even though we only want to put up, first mod(year) inoperable lane projects and Gates, ad little depot stations. I want to put it all down, and have -something- there, because I'm not at all convinced 87(assuming we don't get this into 85, which I think is unlikely...) won't come before I graduate. I'm not convinced I'll ever even see this bit of development on the server, even if it does get approved. I'm more than a little defensive of a project that Bretonia could lose, for all I know. But its an optimistic project, in an empire getting overrun. Its looking forward to possible trade with the new house, and its a brilliant plan for bringing activity to a beautiful, empty system. When it was suggested that the Gaians might halt it..I first wondered if I could give them a base, or make it bigger, and that would placate them.
People suggest 49, and they suggest omega 50, salisbury, Core systems, or rear systems, to develop...I'm sick and tired of running. Edinburgh already has a military presence, or at least military support, flowing through it, to Dundee, and to Tau. Thats a large presence, that.
I stand by the points: the Gaians are not very large, duplicitous and traitorous Brets they might be. I do think they could slow us down, but I don't think they'd stop us. I seriously doubt they could stop us and the mollies...I'm not even sure why they'd try. We're avoiding their planet. The terraforming is nearly done on Ayr...
How large is the green front? It has never seemed like a large party. A fringe party, with a weird plank...Suing for peace? Sure. They might. But lets not forget that Bretonia is supposed to mirror Victorian Brittian. The Victorian Empire, surrender? Even when the wolf is on its door? I rather think not.
The Hessians, I thought, had turned their backs on their beginnings, aside from the rather small RHA group, and were ruthless thugs, for the most part, rather than revolutionary oppressed miners.
