Well you wouldn't get it from my territory, obviously. You realize most tech is stolen from battlefields, right? The ones with all the broken-down or abandoned ships, tanks, weaponry, and suits of power armour? I mean the plot is leading up to mass battle with the Tyranids, and everyone's gonna lose forces there. Steal the tech while nobody's looking. Port in a bunch of dudes with stretchers and run off with a tank or something (not literally that).

If you want to make a deal, then deal. The Imperium has called 2 negotiation meets, either of which would have been the perfect time to attempt negotiations of a variety of kinds. But when territory was being divided I basically had to drop Asia in your lap on a silver platter, because you didn't speak up.

Admittedly, one of the reasons I'm trying to prevent factions from heading into space is to prevent one faction from spreading out across the universe while the others are actually interacting with one another.

You can do any and all of the things I'm suggesting. Hell, the Imperium called a meeting you specifically declined to go to. I've been trying from the start to throw you every bone I can, although I can see my efforts aren't appreciated. I am not using GM powers to make my faction more powerful, nor am I unreasonably nerfing yours. If you believe that any of my statements are unreasonable then feel free to say so, and I will attempt to resolve the issue, and any other GM may call me out on any such unreasonable behaviour. But I feel like I've been trying to solve the situation here, not 'pushing my faction as much as I can'.

Regardless, I feel like this is becoming an OOC version of an IC argument, and I have no intention to cause fights. So here's my two solutions, feel free to pick either or suggest a third.

1) Dromari and Ba'al glare at each other a bit, Dromari leaves, Ba'al does his colony stuff, and it's generally ignored, in order to prevent conflict. Conflict with the Tyranid happens, and plenty of opportunity for stealing, dealing, backstabbing and doublecrossing shall be granted. The colonies will be left alone, might do stuff with that after the Tyranid conflict when tempers have cooled.

2) Conflict ensues, there's a big fight, and a war between the Goa'Uld and the Imperium ensues. Ba'al calls in his full battlefleet, the Imperium redirects it's soldiers to attack the Goa'Uld, and the other two factions intervene as they see fit. After 7 days have passed the Tyranid attack, and shit hits the fan.

These are the two ways I see this resolving, but I want it resolved, because this conflict is getting us nowhere.
