I'll use this thread to discuss any future exploration and intelligence decisions, and when necessary start a seperate poll.
Also any questions you got for me can be asked here.

Mission Year 2152

Units:
2 units are under my control, both of them standard scouts.
Their locations:
one scout west of UNPD, location on the screenshot -> left top


and another scout to the southwest of NA, location -> left center


One possible option:
The first scout goes south around the fungus to the pod, and then continues exploring all the land around the Freshwater Sea.
The 2nd scout will go a bit south, till it reaches the coast, and then it explores a large part to the east, any blanks left can be filled in on the way back from the east.

yes, from there south to the other coast.

Mission Year 2158

Units
3 units, 2 scouts, 1 rover.


My suggestion, the rover follows the green line, and the scouts follow the red and blue line.
Once the western scout is at the end of the red line, there won't be anything to explore there, then it can be used to explore further east, incombination with the rover, it can go north, or maybe it can go to New Suez and escort a new colony pod, and later act as a garrison.
The osame applies for the southern scout, once it reaches the end of the blue line, there is no exploring left to do there, so i can release from my control for garrison duties, or i move the scout north and continue exploring there.

Northern Exploration



Any other ideas? Or thoughts about my suggestion here?

[Hercules]

Generally agree. However should we consider the rover heading south for a few squares before heading along the green line.

[moomin]

I'd see the red line extended in a wider sweep, while sticking to the same general direction. The green line is good. You have any suggested direction for the east scout or will that unit pop pods next?

Excuse me Lemmy.

Also any questions you got for me can be asked here

I am Hercules Partet, police investigator.

(Cautions Lemmy and proceeds)

Regarding an inquiry I'm carrying out into some murders in the not too distant past. Where were you on 29 Aug 2002. Also can you confirm that you were DoEI at that time.

Note any thing you say may be recorded and used in evidence against you.

[Lemmy]

Mission Year 2167

Now that we've explored a good bit around our bases, and already have planned on how to explore the rest of our territory, i think it's time to consider researching and building the Foil.
But, i would like to hear some thoughts on it before i blackmail convince TKG to research Doctrine: Flexibility

[Mellian]

I support the idea of researching Doctrine: Flexilibity. I can help with the convincing if you like.
