 To: UNRL From: UNIN Logistics Re: Mining Numbers A transfer of mines off Earth to employ free population on our colonies would results in the following changes (at = Access Ton): 58 mines (870 at) on Earth in exchange for 40 mines (648 at) on Callisto and 18 mines (~240 at) on Luna gains 18 at. In addition, access on Luna and Callisto is much higher. Our mining situation would thus yield the following changes.
Neutronium: (583 + 192) - 0 = +775 Corbomite: (0 + 0) - 174 = -174 Tritanium: (518 + 168) - 0 = +686 Boronide: (0 + 120) - 174 = -54 Mercassium: (130 + 0) - 0 = +130 Vendarite: (194 + 96) - 0 = +290 Sorium: (648 + 144) - 331 = +461 Uridium: (0 + 48) - 174 = -126 Corundium: (0 + 48) - 113 = -65 Gallicite: (259 + 0) - 696 = -437 Our main losses are in production of Gallicite our second largest stockpile. We have a number of gains, notably, our smallest stockpile, Mercassium, goes up, and our all important Duranium production increases by 1.66%. I know Councilor Aethernet had developed a comprehensive mineral plan, I simply wished to draw UNRL's attention to free population to run mines on higher access worlds. I leave it in your capable hands. edit: fixed the numbers, math r hard Gnooble fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Oct 2, 2014 |

Task Group WATCHTOWER: 5m km from Roanoke-Hakahaka JP, 19th December 2036 Capt. Veazey reports that during routine inspections, a large crack was discovered on the thrust plate on UNS Cape Town's #3 engine assembly. Veazey adds that CAPT BwenGun's crew have already repaired the engine from onboard spares and WATCHTOWER is still at full combat readiness. Cape Town has been deployed for nearly 16 months without overhaul. Task Group WATCHTOWER: 5m km from Roanoke-Hakahaka JP, 25th December 2036, 2:00 UTC  WATCHTOWER and PILGRIM (which contains UNS Edwin H. Armstrong and UNS Pythia) set course for the Hakahaka jump point, reaching it thirty minutes later. There, the two groups re-organize. Pythia re-joins WATCHTOWER (if only temporarily), while the Samar IIb-class DE UNS Bohol is attached to PILGRIM. Thirty minutes after reforming, Armstrong and Bohol perform a squadron transit through to Hakahaka. WATCHTOWER's orders are to wait up to three hours before sending another Samar to investigate. This is unnecessary, however, as less than half an hour later, PILGRIM returns to Roanoke via a standard transit. Bohol's CO, CMDR yinette, reports that after emerging 8,000 km from the rift terminus, there was no sign of Peaceful Concepts of Communion, at least out to the 11.6m km range of Bohol's active sensors. Mysteriously, yinette's report also says that the com beacon sent through as part of IRON CHEF was located, drifting about 40,000 km from the jump point. The Commander ordered a shuttle dispatched to retrieve the beacon, and turned it over to WATCHTOWER's technicians for analysis. The technician's report, forwarded on to 1st Fleet HQ, reveals that the extra ordnance and provisions loaded onto the beacon are still aboard, though there is no sign of OSIRIS. The onboard recorders contain imagery of the transit and OSIRIS's emergence into Hakahaka. Upon arrival, the video shows OSIRIS detaching from the com beacon and making for Peaceful Concepts of Communion alone. Shortly afterwards, the covert operative becomes too small to be tracked visually, and his biometric and positional data cuts off about ten minutes later, just as he reaches the Mind vessel. The beacon goes on to record the stabilization of the gate by the alien linelayer around 10:00 UTC on 17th December. Afterwards, the ship headed off in the direction of the Thebes Gate before moving beyond the extremely limited range of the com beacon.  Elsewhere, Dr. Rotekian announces that he has completed his project aimed at space-rating a levitated-pit nuclear warhead. The twenty labs under his direction are turned over to Dr. Eumenides, who is finishing up the miniaturized missile ion drive prototype as the last phase of PROJECT SPRINTER. Eumenides reports that his work should be completed by 16th January, less than three weeks hence. Research Unlocked

Huh. So... Beef showed up, they all had a polite discussion, and headed off to Thebes. Or, he lost the fight? I really don't know what to make of that, although it's interesting that they elected not to cross into Roanoake. Either their stabilization algorithm is breadth-first, or fight/discussion convinced them they're better off leaving us alone at least until they come back with non-imaginary guns.

Welp that's interesting and somewhat unexpected. Seems like the PCoC is off to stabilise other locations and/or the Mind is coming back with door kickers. At least we might have a bit more time to complete Project Labyrinth and get our ion fleet tooled up before it comes down to shooting for real.

 To-Do list Formally inform the Feds as to the outcome of Osiris. Partial success, the PCoC is no longer approaching Terra. We still have too many unknowns on this front, but the hand on the doomsday clock is a few minutes further from midnight at least for the moment. Go/No Go on K2 operations. Circumstances have changed. Blitzing this front is an option. Bear in mind this is a system adjacent to Sol. Any other matters arising.

For information like that, and to see what UNEC is up to its best to look at the Standing orders page of the wiki. In this case the new missile designs I have in mind are: code:

Unfortunately not, we need to get the key techs researched before we can begin designs of the various warships. See Project NIKE.

We have a timetable now. On roughly the 16th of January missile ion engines will complete. At that point we can begin researching the missiles themselves. Of the missiles we probably want to begin production on the Eagle-B first, that will take roughly 15 days to research. So the next generation of missiles will likely begin production at the beginning of February. The Hornet-D is much faster to research so we could begin production of that missile earlier, but it is also less useful. This is a case where it would be useful to know how many of each missile we need to produce before Operation Labyrinth can begin in order to work out the most efficient research order.

So, I haven't been paying attention at all lately, just saw Beef's post and I figured he got a ship from another sucker again or is a mecha without need for air now and plot was happening. Or did the UNEC actually give him a vessel after defecting once and breaking an (admittedly idiotic) agreement a second time? Otoh I'm fairly sure Beef wouldn't betray humanity, but sending him in alone is... silly. Unless it's bgreman-originated plot in which case it should be fine.

Not so much a vessel as the space equivalent of an inflatable raft. Compared to this thing Shrike was a cruise liner. No actual in-game resources were spent on this.

Given that OSIRIS may have contributed to the non-completion of the gate on the Roanoke side of the jump point, it's difficult to describe it as a loss - as a minimum, it may have bought us more time. I would suggest only telling the Feds about the actions of the linelayer and leaving Beef out of it until the picture is clearer. LABYRINTH should be a go regardless; if it comes to a vote, this is UNRL's position.

The K2 excursion force is currently projected to be: 6 Gibraltar-B, 4 Berlin IIM, 6 Capetown-B, 4 Samar IIB, 4 Surigao, 1 Praetor, 1 Panner, 9 Guam, 3 Delphi. http://bgreman.com/AuroraLPWiki/Operation_Labyrinth To fully outfit the force using the missiles and loadouts outlined requires: 604x Denel SSM-13A "Harrier" ASM (5.35BP) 60x Denel SSM-11B "Eagle-B" ASM (3.565BP) 286x MBDA SVM-6D "Hornet-D" Multipurpose Missile (0.9BP) The exact timetable depends on how long it takes to build the missile stocks which is hard to predict now as we are expanding our ordnance capacity pretty rapidly. Once I have some time I will reorder the research que slightly to get the Hornet-D design done first so production can begin ASAP. I'm also going to have to redo the research projections in light of the deal made with the Feds, I will see how many labs I need to divert to get the Small crew Qtr and Fire control speed techs by March and late July respectively.

IRON CHEF may not have been a rousing success, but it was hardly a loss - Beef wasn't privy to any UNIN ops, plans, or other information beyond the parameters of his own mission, and material losses were negligible. Overall, Beef succeeded - PCoC went back to Thebes instead of continuing towards Earth. LABYRINTH will go ahead. To: PILGRIM, WATCHTOWER From: UNIN Re: Hakahaka Mission Complete. PILGRIM (Pythia, Armstrong) to return to Callisto. WATCHTOWER 1 (Capes + Samar) to maintain watch from their position. WATCHTOWER 2 (Didyma, Bohol) will picket the Hakahaka side of the JP with actives on. We understand some maintenance work may be necessary, relief forces will be underway following refit of L variant ships.
