@10ebbor10: Nah, it's just class-name of the Cube. The proper naming is "Cube XXX of 502412". Only the three X's change in range of 235 to 238, as far as I know.

@Hyo: Still, we would need to somehow get to the outernmost Cardassian and Romulan colonies that our scouts can't even reach now.

29102
It's game that killed you, not me :P

28.

We finished new Shelia-Takara fleet faster than we were going to, so against Third Cube, Admiral Cain should have 51 or so ships. However, there will be around only 10 destroyers or even less, so we are alcready anticipating casualties amongst Ambassador and Galaxy-class cruisers.
The treaty with Ferengi gave us new trade routers, so our income should get up soon. Our calculations show that we might not be in time to save Ferenginar.
USS Kinugasa A (Galaxy) and USS Venice B (Miranda) were finished this turn.

Ah right, knew something was amiss. Terrorists, we have them back. *sigh*

And apparently our long-time allies, Klingons, are against our treaty with the Ferengi. SORRY GUYS IT'S NECESSITY CUZ I DON'T ENJOY BEING ASSIMILATED.
Because of previously mentioned possibilty we won't get to Ferenginar full-force, the newly commissioned Mirandas were ordered to leave the slower cruisers behind and get to the rally point asap.
We get USS Berkeley B this turn.

Oh no.

...

See that '236'?

We already destroyed one with that number!

IT'S A NEW CUBE!

Hyo how you dared to jinx me like that! D:<

29104
Yes.  Can you pump out fifteen new battle ready ships for EVERY battle?  If you can, you might just win this.

That depends if the Cube in Romulan space won't suddenly appear in Yridia, which is our main shipyard. But planets can be repopulated.

However, if the game decide to troll me and explode Hurada system (with a supernova), which is one of our dilithium-rich systems, this is worse scenario as we will have to stop production at one system (presumably Sol).

29105
There's also a Cardassian-populated system right behind Ferengi territory.

@EuchreJack: If anything, you will be Admiral after we deal with localized Borg threat :P

The two Borg Cubes dissappeared from our radars. They haven't went up or left or down, so the only other explanation is that they went inside Romulan Empire, or rather what's left of it.
USS Nebula, namesake of it's class, has been finished at Takara whilst two destroyers, Newport B and Somali B, were constructed almost on the same moment. Newport B is also ninth ship in the local fleet, and thus said fleet was sent toward Morikin system to rendevous with other ships.

Next week, still no sign of Borg Cubes at Romulan Space. However, one of Designation 238 was replaced with 237, which means they are warping over several tiles per game turn just to get to inhabited system.
From shipyard news, we got USS Velasco (Ambassador) and USS L'Aventure B (Miranda), from Sol and Yridia respectively.

And then we notice this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Deneb had 240+ million population just five turns ago.
The Borg are in Ferengi space. I've sent Yridians there just to make sure that the Cube there has a familiar designation.

One week later, Admiral Cain decided to dispatch USS Martynov into Romulan territory to try and find where the Cubes went. Cardassia, capital system of the Union, has fallen to Borg.
Another pair of Mirandas: Winnipeg B and Kirkland B - Shelia and Yridia.

Week later, we got another pair of destroyers ready (Montreal/Lachlan B) managed to sort our facts and knowledge:
There's for sure one Borg Cube in Deneb (Ferengi) system, and another in Galvin (Cardassians) system, as populations there drop rapidly.
One Cube is in the already decimated Adelphous system, and
Other Cube is in deep space roughly in middle between Cardassian and Romulan space.
The latter two are 238 and 237, so we're missing 235 and another 238. Hopefull they are in the aforementioned systems.

Wait no, that's bad if they're in Deneb! The combined fleets have been moved closer to Ferengi space.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fuck. It's Cube 238 that got to Delta Vega.
Deneb system is besieged by Cube 235. The Cube at Galvin and, now as well, Tarchannen (Romulans) systems are yet of unknown designations.
Admiral Cain was directed to Delta Vega. He has 42 ships now, but the newly formed fleet from Shelia and Takara in on their way, so in the eve of battle, 51 Federation starships will be with him. There's also new fleet (8 ships) from Sol/Yridia, but they won't get there in time.
Condamine B, Jasmine A, Bato A - Miranda, Nebula, Oberth ships were finished this turn. We're on negative income now, but we saved 5500 credits, so we can continue building ships for a while.

One turn later, Yridian Scout confirms presence of the second Cube 238 in Galvin. With 238 in Delta Vega and 235 still in Deneb, it means that Cube 237 is in Tarchannen.
Or at least I hope it's 237.
This turn we got a scout and destroyer: USS Manitee A and USS Helmsdale B.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Fuck you, Husnock, I almost had heart attack when I've saw the monster icon in there, geez.

Turn later, we get USS Boston B at Shelia, and turn after that, Galaxy-cruiser and Oberth-scout: USS Tikuma and USS Sybil.

AND NEXT TURN WE FIGHT!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

AND WE WIN!
We lost 15 ships again: 3 Oberths (Sandhusky, Moray, Narwhal) and 12 Mirandas (Miranda A and B, Majestic A, Helmsdale A, Brittain/Lantree/Tian An Men/Sitak A, Saratoga/Reliant A, Covington B ShirKahr B).
Sorry Hyo :v

The Cube left Deneb and went straight into Ferenginar. Ferengi beg us for affilliation treaty, and thus, for our help. To preserve the balance of the forces in that quarter of the Galaxy, we agree and Admiral Cain was tasked with helping the midgets. USS Hurutaka, Galaxy-class, and USS Sakai B, Miranda-class, are completed at Takara and Shelia. As soon as we assemble a fleet there, it will go and join Admiral Cain in Ferengi territory.

29106
There are two in Cardassian territory, and two at Federation-Romulan border, as the screenshot shows.

AND WE FIGHT TO DEATH >:C!

Vegetables?

Carrots and onions.

29108
Honestly, never before I had more than two cubes.

And game gives me five this time? I cannot comprehend this shenaningans.

26.

Next week, we abandon Ariannus, as the Borg Cube is almost done with Kurill system. Our Yridian Scout reports that one of Cubes in Cardassian space went 'missing', as in, moved outside the reach of their sensors.
In the meanwhile, USS Ambassador, namesake of his class, is completed at Utopia Planitia yards above Mars.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ferengi want peace one week later. Given what's happening in the galaxy, we quickly scurried their outer territories whilst consulted with our spies, but they don't report of Borg in Ferengi space. THis might be also a bluff, but we agreed for the sole monetary gain.
USS Broadsword, Oberth-class, is completed at Shelia whilst USS Asigara leaves Yridian shipyards.

USS Rockford B, Miranda, is finished one week later, and... well... lemme roleplay that.

====

Morikin System, RNZ Outpost:

Commander of the outpost steps into listening room, sipping some nicely replicated coffee.
Commander: Where's the Borg now?
Listening Officer: We're reading subspace fluctuation from the Kurill system, which means the Cube is done with Romulans. Sir, there's transwarp signal in Dullisian system! One of the Cubes from Cardassian territory must've warped.
Commander: Damn those fucking cyborgs.

He taps his combadge.
Commander: Science officer, inform Admiral Cain that one of the Cubes is in Dullisian-
L.Off: Sir, urgent report from Yridian scout! They...
Commander: What is it, lieutenant?
*silence*
Commander: I asked you a question!
L.Off: S-Sir, according to their scanners, there are still two cubes in Cardassian space.
Commander: What? Are you sure that Borg signal interpreter is working correctly? Nothing wrong with Yridian scanners, have you asked them?
L.Off: They are sure of it. Sir, the designation from the Cube in Dullisian... I... I never seen that one.
Commander: What? That doesn't--

The coffee mug slips from his hand, crashing on the floor as he looks at the sensor readings.

"Dear god... Fifth Cube..."

I always prefered the default mode.

@Greiger: Your math is flawed because it includes constants :P

29111
Some animu thing.

3/5

29112
Actually, it was 50 ships. 20 cruisers, 27 scouts/destroyers, 3 strike cruisers.

We could get Sovereign-class dreadnoughts, but it's like several tech levels away, and before that happens the game will be possibly done.

Crescent for Nix, Gandhi for Roberts, Brittain for Hyo :3

29113
You're indeed something akin to Picard. Just much younger :P

Also: I will either destroy all the cubes or die trying :3

29114
Fantasy.

29115
Le Bumpesque? ;v

Whose turn it is now? Is that person on vacation?
