We need data instead of hypothesis and paranoia. While there are extradimensional creatures we should avoid becoming overly superstitious of their ability and influence. Let's see how the gate out of our home star goes. If that is safe or safe enough then we should build return gates where convenient. Terra certainly will if they see an advantage in it so our own paranoia is only going to hamper us.

Affi posted:So why are we releasing jump sickness now when last vote we admitted it'd lead to war and to hold off on it for as long as possible? At the time we were unsure if the UT leadership was aware of jump madness. They obviously are now and they are still going ahead. They don't care (possibly because Putina is mind wormed) and we need to make them care. This is how we do it.

1. Ranginui is our system. Have it take our infrastructure and ships there if we can 2. I like Zaodai's idea about releasing info on jump sickness: Zaodai posted:We should release the jump sickness info, but through the Martial Council of Health or something, like the CDC would release an alert about staying away from mosquitos or something. Fact laden, but not particularly terrorizing on the surface. Then let the people realize what that means for themselves. We're just putting the info out there for the betterment of everyone, it's not our fault if they happen to reroute their colonization convoys because of it. That's a Terran matter! 3. Galileo. There's gold in them there failed stars! Not to mention plenty of room to hide alien artifacts! 4. This system is beautiful, like a giant mountain or something. Since Olympus was the home of the gods, that's my first choice of name for this system: Olympus. Alternatively, we can name it after some other giant mountain, like Everest, but Olympus is better if we get to name it, since we already have a Mount Olympus on Mars (yes, there's one on Earth too, but shush)

 23 Oct 2052  The first jump capable convoy sets course for Swift Tuttle while the politicians debate over whether to allow its to transit.  Commanding officer is Redtonic.  Earth's own convoy gets underway a day earlier after spending over a week hanging in Luna orbit. 28 Oct 2052  The next batch of Advanced jump surveyors completes.  The Ranginui grav point survey is almost complete so they are tasked to assist with finishing the Sol survey.   The ships move out at 3000kps initially and boost up to 4800kps once they clear the inner system. 2 Nov 2052  Mars Terraforming efforts come up for review, temperature is steadily increasing and Oxygen is being added to the atmosphere. Finally two squaron sized units of the new fleet are completed and ready for a shakedown cruise. 1st Cruiser Squadon (Jump)  Made up of surviving veterans of the war who lost their ships the 1st Cruiser squadron is an elite unit with great expectations. It also has the first jump compatible carrier attached commanded by Lt-Gen Z the IVth. 1st Destroyer Squadron (Jump)  Eighteen days remain until the first outgoing jump point is stabilised.

Infrastructure and ships to Raguni 2. Release info on jump sickness, just not that it can cause you to nuke your own homeworld. 3. Focus on Galileo 4. Rename Galileo "Traf" for new opportunities and because it's a coin-flip there won't be anything here to freak out High Command

The real trick will be not getting relieved before making another 4+ jumps. Given that policy requires crews to rotate out of Jump Street after 4, that means I need a fresh crew for my next expedition.

Can I change the name? ^ Would prefer to name it the Hwasong-Scinfaxi*. *Trivia: "Hwasong" is the prefix for North Korea's ballistic missile family. Translated, it means "Mars". The Scinfaxi was the ballistic missile submarine from Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, which aside from being one of my all-time favorite games, has all kinds of parallels to this LP.

Release news voters, how many of you would be ok with the Glasnost plan, and how many of you want to go pure agitprop? Unless you're main goal is UT fuckery, maximizing our chances to figure out just what is going on seems a good thing to do.

The Glasnost proposal still includes going public with it, but we just give Earth 12 hours of warning or whatever, right? If the idea is to keep jump sickness secret if they agree to work with is, lol gently caress that. We are going to have to go public at some point, and the earlier we do the less pissed off people will be, so there's no reason not to do it ASAP.

Let's try for a join research program by all means. But under no circumstances are we going to prop up the Terran's efforts to keep this under wraps. Either the Terrans agree to announcing a joint funded research effort or we go public anyway and lay it on thick about how the evil Putina refused to cooperate and continues to risk the sanity of her citizens and the very future of Sol.
