Transfer of credits is also possible, according to the rules.

N-nnnnnn-noooo-oooo-ooo! The main activity of the CEO should be to chose the best opportunity presented. And you do this perfectly.

Emmmmmmm.... Not a square, I'm afraid.

Too risky to disperse during the first week, I'd say. But so tempting.

Well said, goatman461. Totally agree. As for the tags, let's think of something else than Octan, as this tags shows lots of other things as well. "OctanCorp", maybe?

The build had received lots of good comments, and I can only join these. The only thing I would like to add is the comments on your lighting setup. Awesome! Please continue sharing these. Very useful and helpful. The only thing that worries me here is the location choice. Do we have rocks on H05? In case there'll be enough Octan researches on Livgorn by Thursday, I'd consider changing the sector.

Doubt that. Domination points are awarded on weekly basis.

Hope that we'll control H05 by weekend and will move further. So be prepared for rocky/mountainous terrain. Lava is highly possible.

That's a very good example how an exploration mission can look like!

The forklift is perfect! It is small and simple - and that's exactly what the forklift should be: a small and maneuverable mule. And the comic-strip-type representation is a thing not so often seen here.

Well done! Like the mining station. And the droid is a very nice addition. Any thoughts on making a slightly larger base? IMO, the station overhangs the base a bit.

Open channel message #003 to Octan Corpotarion. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I support the idea of having branches within the Corporation, each with different assignments, but... With 30 domination points needed to take control on the planet, we need around 9-10 missions (first month will anyway be "race for sectors" with no direct contacts). As there is ( yet ), 18 members, at lest for the week #001 we are able to secure 2 sectors max, which is, however, tough. One secured zone is thus a more reasonable target. Judging by already reported missions, H05 (x4) is a primary target anyway. We're almost a halfway there already. But more to the point: the idea is to create an "Octan Exploration Team", which could provide around 20 domination points (i.e. we need 5-6 supporters for that). This team will have the common target each week, and others will be having a broader exploration choice. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- End of message #003.

Thank you for your comments. Pictures added.

I'd offer either G05 or H05. The choice between these two is all yours. OR, if you can wait until Thursday - go to the one closest to being taken. Sometimes I just can't restrain myself... Oh...

Open channel message #001 to Octan Corpotarion. (edited) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- All right. As we have the team ready and growing, I'd offer to discuss the current status and initial development. As building options are yet limited, the offer is to concentrate on maximum two planets in the beginning - choosing the ones which will provide larger variety of both resources and terrain types (hence building variety). Current options: Homeworld - H06 - Farmolis / oceans, grassy plains / provides Awesomnium G05 - Zimunsk / rocks, mountains / provides Water + access to Biomass x3 / access to jungle, islands, plains, mountains, oceans, deserts, shifting oceans H05 - Livgorn / swamps, jungle / provides Awesomnium + access to Biomass x2 / access to plains, mountains, oceans, lava, rocks + way towards Mithril G07 - Hennigan II / forest, grass plains / provides Water + access to Biomass x2, Awesomnium / access to deserts, shifting oceans, arid deserts, asteroids H07 - Quantus III / mountains, forests, oceans / provides Awesomnium + access to Biomass, Awesomnium / access to lava, rocks, asteroids + way towards Copper G05 exploration provides access to water (one of out two sources on 2-gate-radius) largest terrain variety (almost every possible type) + huge Biomass excavation possibilities. H05 exploration - similar to G05 opportunities, but less terrain types (no deserts). However, this planed is the first step to "outer belt" planets and, ultimately, Mithril. G07 - largest resources variety (one of out two sources on 2-gate-radius) and way towards large water deposits later on; majority of terrain types (all but rocks). H07 - similar to H05 with even less resource and terrain variety, but later on can be used as the way to Copper. Another positive aspect to concider - Awesomnium deposits on H07 and nearby asteroid belt. We have already started exploring G05 and H05. In my opinion, G05 was a perfect choice, H07 being not so positive on the second thought. I'd probably chosen G07 instead. But what is done - is done. However, as the first explorations had already started, I'd rather not disperse our activities during the first week. Let's see what we will achieve together on these two and then we'll be able to decide how many more builds are needed to get control of the planets (I hope, however, that we'll be able to grasp at least one already, if we concentrate). As for the tech tree - the first six technologies with bonuses are the following (all of them require three nodes): - Ground Tactics - 3.300 awesomnuim / 800 or 900 water / 800 or 900 biomass = extra domination point for corporation (+1) when building a vehicle + further military development (later - Mithril dependancy) - Naturalist's Training - 3.300 awesomnuim / 800 or 900 water/ 800 or 900 biomass = extra resource for corporation (+10) when building an exploration action + way to Alien communication and more resources (later - Gold dependancy) - Awesomnuim foundry - 3.300 awesomnuim / 800 or 900 water/ 800 or 900 biomass = extra resource for corporation (+10) when building a civil building + way to more bonuses on vehicles (later - Copper dependancy) - Battlefield research - 3.300 awesomnuim / 800 or 900 water/ 800 or 900 biomass = extra resource for corporation (+10) when building a military building - Prospecting - 3.300 awesomnuim / 800 or 900 water/ 800 or 900 biomass = extra resource for corporation (+10) when gaining any resource - Spaceship Mastery - 3.300 awesomnuim / 800 or 900 water/ 800 or 900 biomass = extra domination point for corporation (+1) when building a spaceship I'd rather go towards foundry first... but this needs more discussion. Let's see how the first week goes. All TierOne technologies require 1.000+100+100 resources, therefore need constant inflow of Awesomnium anyway. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- End of message #001.

Yep, works in FF. Thank you.

I´ll try Chrome also.

It's Firefox 37.0.2. No planets' descriptions either. Tried Internet Exprorer as well. Nothing.

Nothing.

How could I see the TechTree properly? I can see the map of technologies, but no description is available anywhere.

Not a forced perspective, actually. More pictures will surely follow.

Location: H05 - Livgorn Tags: civil, building, exploration Terrain: Swamp Start of transmission #01. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- "Finally arrived at Livgorn. Truly, a forsaken place. It was almost impossible to find a proper landing spot on the sites marked as "interesting" on satellite images... either wild jungles or frozen marshes there, both biomes allowing no possibilities to safely land. I'll better let our explorers deal with there places. Deployed surface sensors and analyzers as soon as the spot was more or less cleared. Awesomnium confirmed, extraction possible. However, the proper on-site analysis requires 6 days more. And I'll have to stay here all this time. Need to finish the cupola now - it will provide at least some safety both from environment and who-knows-what living here. I've already heard some strange noises... so I'd better finish before nightfall." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- End of transmission #01. The build:
