My forces overmatch you and you will not be able to stop us securing Titan space if we so desire."

We do not have the desire or means to retake Titan and I expect it will eventually be written off as a loss.

What say you goons, do we accept the offer or try our luck against the IC force?

imo for battle markers each flagship should just have an massive ornate tapestry hanging in the captains quarters detailing each major conflict the fleets involved in. Pros: boss as gently caress, bomb rear end museum pieces. Cons: Multiple tapestries will need to be made to compensate for flagship attrition.

The ic needs to be dismantled entirely. Jupiter and uranus dont need to be owned by us or the earthers, but leaving the leaders and governmental structures of the IC intact is a poor idea at best. divy up isolated orbital structures/harvesting operations between us and the Earthers while letting major population centers referendum for their independence, lets balkanize the gently caress out of jupiter amd force earth to rely on diplomacy to keep uranus in their sphere

Dine. We need to rebuild ships and infrastructure before we go against the UT. Assuming this isnt a case of their jump point going to the same place ours does we can use this to hurt their reputation with Titan and Uranus

We should totally just play it as being no big deal that we have jump travel. Just no big deal for the superior Martian scientist.

thats how negotiations work yes. If you cant walk away from the table then theres no reason for the other party to offer good terms.

boy howdy seems like a lot of folks on earth will be looking to relocate soon. sure would be a shame if someone offered them citizenship to a planet with luxury space communism and a robust social net (we reallllly need to work on the "fully automated" part of fully automated luxury space communism btw)

Just to be clear though, the Terran force camping the Nova Sol -> Pit JP should be able to prevail against the remaining three crab ships barring some horrible incompetence/perfidious UT cowardice, right?

probably. i imagine that without the nebula interference they can get better hit rates than us

Uh general strikes are extremely cool and good just on principle, and one on Ceres is extra cool and good.

The principle is good, the issue is whats causing it. We've been so focused on the fart crab issue that im not really sure how things are on the home front. After all this general strike could be for anything from "less authoritative govment" to "give us our 3 square meals a day you fucks".

wait is ceres one of ours or did the UT take it from the IC during the war?

Ceres has been a UT colony forever. Way back during the Martian Revolution they tried to break free like we did but got jackbooted and have been an angry exploited Terran possession ever since.

Also, while it is yet further proof that this is all just Expanse fanfic, I don't think Saros does that on purpose.

oh okay for a moment their i was worried out state was going down the tubes

i;m thinking about those gun smugglers

I mean our state is also going down the tubes, violent crime has skyrocketed in the past year and Mars First has access to nukes. But we're not quite as hosed as Earth.

eh i just figure thats friction between the new comers and the folks who've been here a few generations. we already know earth born people get looked at sideways by martians and we've been bringing in a whole lot of them lately.

At least it looks like they are just copying the engine, so those new fast BBs are probably dedicating a lot of space to engines and fuel... right?

Are we sure its our engines? They have been digging up some fancy poo poo.
