D'rek, you have a command token in that system now so cannot move in if I do.
Nope

I could plop down 5 infantry on one of the planets and make it very tough for you to take back.
You could.

I am not going to lie I have been thinking about that for a few reasons. This recent building of PDS 2 on Mec Rex is one of those "friendly" moves that impacts my game. Ensapta was looking nice until you dropped that PDS there.
It's not friendly and I make no pretense to it being so. I am deliberately trying to slow down everyone else's centre-game and put off the taking of MR in the hopes that it will help me get to 12 VP sooner than others, mainly by slowing them down less than it slows myself down, and furthermore trying to accrue some resources out of it to make up for most of my planets being influnece-dominant planets.
Ensapta is still very nice, just pay the 1 tg to move in without laser fire. Morghy or MacGnaw or Twelve will kick me out of MR soon enough, and if you already hold Ensapta at that time it will put you in a great position to double-swipe MR from them, or other strategic moves. Just ends up costing you 1, maybe 2, extra TGs for the tactical actions on Ensapta before then.

So I do have a proposal for you, firstly I want to drop a ship in Bereg. I do not want to invade or stay there more than 1 round. If IH activates it then you will use your Ceasefire to prevent him from moving in. I will move out during next round and therefore you'll still be getting the production from the planets and be able to build in Bereg. Secondly I want you to not fire at any of my ships that move into Ensapta this round.
I don't see a downside for you as I am not taking anything off you and I do want friendly relations between us.
I had planned to use that space dock this round (or else why bother building it, could've just dumped another PDS there or taken another SC), but if you blockade it I won't do anything about it this round. I'll be miffed, but I won't waste my logistics build just to retake the space over Bereg. If you blockade and invade I absolutely will, and naturally I'll be far more miffed.
I'll use the Mentak ceasefire if and when it suits me. If you just move the lone carrier to BereLirta without any escort that's your decision, not my job to defend it.
The laser toll still applies.
Remember Tatts, you picked your homeworld position before me and you've picked SC before me both times. You could've picked a less stuck-in-a-corner homeworld spot. You could've gotten to MR first. Don't be upset with me that you didn't make the most optimal picks and things aren't perfectly falling into line for you as a result.
