Given the relative proximity it may be the case that the sensor ghosts and signals we're picking up in the Nebula are the remnants of the Spider-Penguins...

I don't think we know yet if proximity in the jump network has any correlation to physical proximity. I vote graveyard. An opportunity to learn from the best is always welcome.

Goddamn, this is a hard choice. Since the ruins there are at cursory glance the same as the 300k year ruins on that massive city-planet though, it's likely that little new will be found there in an archeological sense, at least not without much more effort than we're prepared to provide. Also the idea of colonizing a planet that suffered through that seems a bit... dour. Who would want to live on a planet that was genocided to hell and back? The Pit

No we did accomplish our primary goal of weakening Terra by encouraging internal division and general strife in the command chain. And like Cryo said the best way to whip up a desire for reform is to see it be denied. Sooner or later every regime stamping down will find itself in difficulty, we quite likely pushed the clock forward significantly. And if we hadn't spilled the jump sickness info the the Terrans wouldn't properly appreciate the gates we built them.

Let's check The Pit first. It's quite possible that there's something active in that system, and (atleast in my opinion) the sooner we know more about it, the better.

The other system is dead, and unless the Terrans have a way into it like Rangnui it will stay as it has been until we get a chance to look at it closer.

Current vote tally is 31 for The Pit and 25 for The Graveyard! Voting will remain open across most of the weekend, if you change your vote after this point please make a new post saying so so I can adjust the totals.

I feel like the graveyard is an early game over. We'll totally run into whatever killed the penguins. Also the pit = plays a bit to our strengths.

Yeah, it seems unlikely that this is going to be a time skip directly into a choose your own adventure book style instant kill. That'd be lovely storytelling. However, even if you think Saros will do trap options, how do we know that the "go into an area where your shields and some weapons don't work, and you can't see poo poo, and there are likely enemies hidden there we can't detect" isn't the trap option? They're both fairly likely to result in hostile contact of some sort. I'd rather fight the enemy I can see, even if they're genocidal monsters, than the enemy I can't. [EDIT] Especially if you consider that we're working on the theory that for the most part the ruins we've seen aside from the Graveyard were created by the space demons eating whole civilizations. This is very clearly just people vs people, we understand how these guys died. It's entirely possible the people who killed the penguins got eaten by space demons in the last purge and we're near the start of a new cycle rather than the end of a new cycle.

We have light shields because it's always nice to throw some on once you get past a certain tech level, but we're very much armor, speed, and beams, which synergize very well in nebulae.

The Pit also has a world that is a good colonization target. It might be fun to colonize and then fortify the gently caress out of the system. gently caress it, into The Pit.
