How many times do I have to point out that the quest is explicitly operating under "no canon idiot balls and no FASAnomics" rules?

[X] Sign the Farm Bill of 3072 At least the opposition statement isn't puppy kicking this time.

[X] Approve Admiralty Request

[X] Accept the recommendation Unfortunately, this causes your dreams to be haunted by several Honored Ancestors who whine that the new Royal Flagship is too slow.

[X] Oppose the Communications Act of 3070 Given the security implications of privately held HPGs, this once I'm going to say *not* economy-uber-alles.

It never made sense for the Inner Sphere to have lost WarShip capability considering that all of the Great Houses always had the resources to easily build shadowports. Canon relies purely on tacit idiot balls where the Great Houses are happily nuking each other's fleets and fleet anchorages to...

How many times do we gotta say, no idiot balls and no FASAnomics? Again, no FASAnomics so not nearly as broke as you'd imagine.

Clearly, this tragic accident demonstrates just how inherently risky it is to throw around the sheer amounts of kinetic energy involved in modern racing speeds, despite the best efforts of modern safety equipment, and illustrates that racing events should be curtailed . . . . . . . . . . . ...

Last listing we had was setting projects for four teams, although that might have been just the number of teams finishing their previous project that year. It's still a significant commitment. No. Offering DoME teams isn't explicitly tied to the expansion treaty terms; it's something that our...

It's giving up half our DOME capacity for an indefinite number of terms. A fairly steep price to pay for a completely self-inflicted diplomatic fiasco.

The treaty was limiting our expansion in a direction that we're not even expanding to begin with and have no reason to expand in, on the other side of friendly allies. It's literally their natural zone of interest and the only reason we would do so is this persistent idea of enveloping and...

[X] Offer DoME support to the NRI and NRR I effing told you so.

My take is literally what the player who came up with the limit idea explicitly stated as motive. He explicitly wanted to limit their expansion to preserve the ability to encircle and cut them off from further expansion.

We're not "giving up" anything unless you start with the proposition that we rightfully own every uninhabited system in the entire region, which absolutely is a hostile, expansionist mindset. We have functionally unlimited expansion space in the other direction; the only reason to is to preserve...

More to the point, I'd argue that imposing that kind of limit is inherently hostile and unreasonable , considering it's basically saying we 'own' the entire region and they have to come back to us for permission to expand further than an arbitrary limit imposed by us when we don't even have any...

[X] Agree to NRI Proposal with limits to time and space so that it's not infinite [X] Agree to the NRR Proposal with limits to time and space so that it's not infinite [X] Agree to Kilburrough Proposal

We already have hyper-restrictive export laws, to the point where we can't even make our routine treaty obligation technology transfers without the Queen signing off on each one. We are also aggressively paranoid enough about technological espionage that we nearly declared war on one of our...

We already did that many deccades ago, and our laws on the matter are like, hyper-aggressive and paranoid.
