I would like to propose a motion for the council to vote on. qrtxian did such a great job summarizing the voting possibilities that I think he should be the official ballot maker. He would look at all the options that had been proposed, turn them into a ballot, then post it like he did for the first quarterly vote. If you think someone else shold do this please write their name instead of qrtxian's. Council, please vote on this. Of course, if the person nominated

[quote who="qrtxian" reply="19" id="2795058"]I would like to suggest that my fellow councilors reserve this discussion for our next formal meeting, when we can be provided with more information about our spatial neighbors. [/quote] Fine, but I will still be proposing my compromise at the formal meeting.
By "Imperialism" I mean we support building up the military and power of the Initiative. As you can see on the main page of the Initiative I am a huge advocate of the military. This group is for like minded people.
I am propsing a compromise. If we at least get laser one then I will be content for a time. The Compromise: We research 1-2 rudimentary planetary improvement techs and then get 1-2 missile techs. After this we will have enough defense capability to please me. Then, we build 1 defender M1 for each planet. After that we concentrate on Planetary Improveme
Yes, but my point is that there is a great unknown out there and we need to be ready for anything, Including armed conflict!

I would be fine with his research choice if it didn't take so long. For all we know our technological advancement could be the only thing keeping us alive in the future, that is why w

I think you are misreading my intent, LordCarlos, I simply wish to have a healthy defensive force in case of an attack. Also, the industrial machine is a huge part of our economy and military. If we have the most advanced one then we will be on top, however if we go with the Doctor's recomendations for research this would put us behind in that critical sector of our economy. My "guilty until proven inoccent" comment was engineered to keep us safe. There is a li

Commander Mekoides and Doctor Malar, I have some concerns about our research plans. I belive, and I'm sure others agree, that we should look at our neighbors as potential enemies instead of potential friends. In other words, guilty until proven innocent. And, because I am in this state of mind, I belive that we should concentrate on weapons,defenses, and industrial improvement research. In other words, we should build up militarily before concetrating on t
Yes, I've read all the backstory including the planning thread. It sounds great!
