Bay 12 Games Forum

(21)Extensive searches are held for the alien remains of ships, but you fail to find any. They seem to have just drifted away in space.

A holiday is dedicated on that day. For that day, work stops, and people mourn the loss of fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters. People gather at the capital that day and sit in a moment of silence for the departed ones.

(34)Your scientists try every way to harness solar power more effectively, but they fail to understand it at all. With great dismay they state that a pair of expensive solar satellites would have to be setup as close to the star as they could get for it to be substantially more effective. It would take 2 years to build and 1 year to effectively deploy.

(58)Your scientist make some leeway on the interceptors, and say they should have a working design in one year. For one year to build a fleet of 5 interceptors.

The light probes are completed and sent to the respective stars.
Apollo-7 Years
Shakar-6 Years
Yuri-8 Years

(28)The orbital drydock is set for completion the year after next. Meaning they take 2 years to build apparently.

(98!)The ores start ferrying, and it's a 'gold mine'! Not in the literal sense, but there's probably 10 metric shittons of ore out there!

Population:210,320

(11)The orbital drydock doesn't seem very affective when helping with the tug construction, only decreasing construction time by one year.

(24)The naval academy seems to take 3 years to build, if it is to be at all effective. You have 2 years to go now, since you started construction this year.

Population:13,000 Colonists

(73)The military training center has about a year to go, you have a large population yes, but only a portion of that isn't half brain-dead, and then a portion of that only has the qualifications to build sucha  thing as a military training center! Still, it is due for completion next year.

(93)The animals are brought in and adapt greatly to Alpha Centauri!

(67)Now that the design is less complicated, the 'Knight' is due for design completion in 2 years, taking 2 years to produce a squad of 10.

Population:7,531,564

(81)Your engineers discover, a little bit into making the asteroid mining drones that there was a stockpile of some in storage, a little over what you ordered. They finish the repairs this year.

The interstellar probes are set for completion next year, light drives aren't cheap, ye know. They also take a while to build.

The research laboraties finish construction, and the long range scanner array has 3 years to go if it to be effective at all.

(27) Your scientists report that it would be practically impossible to design a colony ship that could be both space-bound or planet bound, but self-sufficient either way. They end up creating a design for a space-station like ship that has light drive and quadruple ion engines. It would take 5 years to build, they say.

(41)Your scientists research a factory ship, they discover that it'd be immensly hard to build a factory ship capable of doing most things, so they come with a design of a ship able to refine iron into steel at a rate of 500 tons per year, taking 4 years to build.

Random Event:(28)In January, sensors detected a ship with a unkown ID moving towards Ceberus. It was hailed and did not respond, so the plasma batteries planetside began charging by default. After numerous hails it still did not respond, and the batteries fired. To the suprise of everyone, a weird wave rippled in front of the ship as the plasma missiles were close to hitting, and the plasma missiles deflected off. Needless to say, they were not happy. A battle ensued, and approximately 4,000 colonists were killed out of the 200,000 on the planet. The enemy ship was destroyed via a tactical nuclear strike, but it still came as a shock to everyone. You sent a report to the UAE, set to arrive in 4 years(Since messages only move at the speed of light)

Population:195,320 Colonists

(98!) Through unbelievable determination, you complete the orbital drydock thise year!

(10) The asteroid tugs are set for completion in 5 years, since they are rather immense and a engineering feat as well.

(21)The scientists remark "Cloning Vats? Hah! We'll see if we are even able to build such a huge facility, it will probably take years!" The estimated completion date for the project is 7 years.

Random Event:(42)Stocks have been down this year, stemming immigration to the system substantially. Your population is at 10,000

Population:10,000 Colonists

(92)The scientists finish research on Gauss rifles, using immense brainpowar.

(11)Research on the anti-vehicle walkers doesn't go so well. They state that you would only be able to produce 100 per year, and knowledge on how to operate them would take 4 years of training for someone. They say that it would probably take 5 years for them to research it, but they do start researching.

(63)Your scientists are making progress, and they say they should have a design for the anti-infantry in 2 years.

(3)The research lab fails spectacularly. A week in, a fire starts and they have to shut it down.

(100!)Your engineers work together through the year, throwing every bone and minute into the construction of the Archangel. It is completed, with 4 plasma batteries and 2 30cm lasers.

(59)You ask the public what they want, and they remark that they are quite content, but would like to see more operations put into bringing animals from Earth for pets and viewing throughout the planet.

Random Event:(62)You have experienced some better immigration and economic prosperity this year.
