I'm really not sure what is best... perhaps I should wait a month, measure the exact rate at which relations with Charlie are improving, and determine just how long we'll need to wait to reach +200 (and presumably a treaty). That will tell us whether we can afford to put exploration of Groombridge 34 on hold until we have a treaty with Charlie.
Do we have any ships in the Ross 248 System who watches the JG to Groombridge?
Sounds prudent. As a member of the diplomatic corp, I fully support that notion.
No. I dislike stationing ship and leaving them in one spot. The early part of the game is all about exploration and gathering information so that you can make sesnsible plans. For example, without the discovery of the Nexus and the surrounding habitable worlds, we might have felt committed to fighting for the Groombridge 34 system.

I totally agrees on that decision in general. But isn´t it worrying that Charlie could sneak a fleet into even the Sol system before sensors picks him up?
What would be the point of stationing a blind vessel to "keep an eye on things"?

This calls for huge space stations to guard the jump points into sol!
For the glory of emu!
The logistics of such a thing would be amazing, as it would need constant maintenance supplies as it got older and would have to be towed back once a few years to be overhauled.
You could create a patrol vessel class, that would be small, with large sensors, and minimal weapons, easy to assemble, no?

Hmmm... relations with Charlie seem to be going up at about 0.14 per day. About eight months to +200, then. Roughly.
Arjyla said:Is it 1.) guaranteed that 200 is the limit AND 2.) guaranteed that ze charlie accepts?
So we shall count our money while Charlie sneaks in our back door then?
