I propose we lobby for Faction Politics 2 so we can begin construction of exchanges, followed by Planetary Construction 3 for the palaces.
Both will help bolster the economy which seems to be of great concern to the other Houses, will stimulate research, provide defense and help with housing concerns.

Suggest that after our current Colony ship completes construction, barring an immediate need for housing that Thulun Prime build a Spice Den then focus on research until we can build an exchange and then Palace.

For Tennath propose a Mine, then if population warrants another Hab and Factory to be followed by a Spice Den.

If we can garner the needed support in the general assembly our second Colony ship should move to Colonize Leiwen as soon as possible and that world follow the same buildup as Tennath.

Lastly what do you all think of appointing Planetary Governors for our new Colonies...each Governor would be responsible for that planets building with reduced oversight from the Greater Thulun Council of Lords (sorry but gender neutral/politically correct irritates me)

Think my proposal and lixxx235 are very close to same.
I'd suggest halting building after Spice Den unless we get Exchanges researched. No reason to spend money now building something we'll likely decommission at a later date. Instead we can be putting money and extra research into the Alliance.

Also i strongly urge us to go ahead and colonize Leiwen, I believe we have enough support from more moderate and logical members of the other factions to carry this off with a minimum of outcry.

Agreed. My contemptible excuse for a tablet has been charging for almost half an hour now and I need to get some sleep- if it's not on soon, do you think you could copy paste with tweaks for Assembly presentation... I've been crazy busy today and completely forgot to plug in the damn ASUS....

EDIT- It finally came on... Stupid thing... I'll do our write up right now.

[lixxx235]

Agree. Now up your pledge on Kickstarter in 20 minutes

[lixxx235]

Request final approval for the following resolution, "like" the post to vote for it:
The high officers of Thulun, in the Great Council of Thulun assembled,

HAVING RECEIVED the reports of the Templar Exploration Fleet,

UNDERSTANDING the interests of other parties in this territory,

BEARING IN MIND the strengths and weaknesses of each party,

ORDERS THAT stellar system "Thulun Prime" is to produce, in order of construction, one habitation unit, one colony ship to be named Thulun-Colony-1 or another name as Templar Command sees fit, one factory, one palace, and one mine, and

ORDERS THAT the stellar system "Tennanth" is to produce, in order of construction, the factory currently being produced, one habitation unit, one spice hall, and one exchange, and

ORDERS THAT upon the colonization of any new worlds, by default, the newly colonized world is to produce, in order of construction, one habitation unit, one factory, one exchange, one habitation unit, one palace, and one mine, and

REQUESTS THAT the worlds Restfallen, Ogvidissio, Jahant 6, Kaflenge, any other world be reserved for House Thulun, subject to negotiation, and

REQUESTS THAT Thulun-Colony-1 be sent to any world reserved for House Thulun, at the discretion of Templar Command, and

REQUESTS THAT after we have researched Planetary Construction 3, research is started on Planetary Construction 4, and after that is complete, then the alliance research Faction Politics 3, and

REQUESTS THAT the T.F. The Prophet’s Eyes return to base for refueling, then resume exploring anomalies, and

REQUESTS THAT instead of wasting alliance funds to construct costly ships, by default, the alliance is to construct many of the less expensive ships in lieu of constructing less of the more expensive ships, and

COMMENDS Templar Command for their work.

I disagree on Thulun prime constructing more mines at this juncture.
We have limited mineral resources at our disposal, trying to build enough mines to utilize all those resources at this point is wasteful. As better mining technology is researched the excess mines would need to be decommissioned to prevent over mining our resources. Also bear in mind that if we are not building infrastructure /ships that the excess construction goes to trade goods boosting the economy and that we are freed up to expidite research efforts meaning that new technological breakthroughs can be achieved faster.

For Thulun Prime let us construct an Exchange, and when available a Palace then continue only building Habs and Factories as needed to keep pace with population demands.

I feel that it would be ill advised to try pressing any claim for Chalicstine as it's already being contested by both Javat and Steel Song.

I agree in the main on new colony construction with the exception that we build Exchanges after the first Hab and Factories are constructed and that Palaces be added in place of a second Hab. Again with Colonies we must be wary about over mining, certainly an initial mine or two is called for to help them become financially self sufficient but excess building is misuseful of both Alliance funds and our own labor strengths.

xdesperado: it seems irresponsible not to utilize resources for fear of having... more efficient ways of utilizing those resources later on. We can always deconstruct something, and I feel doing it my way is better. I do take that advice into consideration, and I hope you'll be happy with my amended document.

I feel excluded.

[En1gma]

I'm in full agreement with the Marquis's amendments. If we try to move in Chalicstine, we would certainly be at odds with both other factions.

I say we push claims on at least one of the newest systems on the outer ring of systems discovered. We have no need to expand further than these systems, and we would be foolish to explore any further than this ring. We have many suitable planets inthe rear of the quadrant, therefore the SS can take the entirety of the outer ring, save one system near the northeast sector, so that we may fill gaps in the fleet as needed.

The systems in the front of the quadrant (Thulun Prime, Leiwen, and Tennath) should be driven towards fleet construction and protection. The systems in the rear of the quadrant are where we should send the majority of our future colonies, splitting them evenly with the Javat Clan. These planets should focus primarily on research and mineral extraction secondarily. As these planets will be far removed from combat, they can support theAlliance in more ways than simply producing the fleet.  I believe that if we offer the entirety (save one, thoughtfully located to reinforce the Song mercenaries) of the outer ring to the Song, we will have no contention from them when we request the northern sector be populated by the Javat and ourselves. That being said, I propose we take a trip to the Assembly to request this measure, barring objection in our own council, and to help move this new plan forward.

[dragolord]

Damn tablet won't let me edit… anyway, I was going to say that I feel that a vast mining operation would be of little use, and jeep our scholars away from working on research projects. Perhaps one, but no more mines than that.

[lixxx235]

Hmm, Javat wants Baza. I'll make some amendments.

[En1gma]

lixxx235- delegates from the Javat Clan have been invited to weigh in on the matter concerning the dividing of the newest sectors. I have high hopes that reaching a consensus will be relatively painless, as there are plenty of sectors and placement is moot, seeing that these planets will likely never see combat.

[Brutus Aurelius]

We at Javat Clan only want the most Mineral rich systems, so that we may better bolster the economy of the Empire. We plan, for now, on taking Galantia, Baza City, and Nasrah Outpost. These worlds are the highest in potential mineral content that we will be able to pump out enough metals and material to build a great fleet, as well as the funds to maintain it.

[En1gma]

So be it, Brutus Aurelius, thank you for weighing in on this matter, we have no objections to these claims. The House Thulun is only laying claim on four of the northern systems, so the remaining are up for debate between yourselves and the SS, should they require any.

[xdesperado]

lixxx235 can we please remove the request for additional mine to be built on Thulun Prime?
Again I see this as a waste of both time and resources.
