"It is past 1900 hours, pilot. Your votes will be considered, but the ultimate decision lies in Captain's hands. Rest for now. But be ready for action any moment." With those words, the First Officer tipped his cap and left the room, leaving four tired pilots with the newcomer.

//GAH! Why all those posts weren't showing up in my unread replies!? Dx

"I congratulate you on your mission, pilots. We don't have time to mourn for our lost comrade. During your battle with the drones, we had a surprise attack from starboard - several bomber drones and few fighters. Whilst we managed to deal with them with timely arrival of Odysseus, there were light damage to the upper decks and several wounded, amongst them Captain Lydia. She is currently in sickbay."

"I would like to welcome Sarah Galloway, your newest teammate. Odysseus had too many pilots for now, and thus she was transferred. Her suit of choice is Stargazer." Here, the First Officer looked briefly at Kira."

"Given your performance, I'm promoting you to a military rank of Novice Pilots. The Quartermaster have already sent new uniforms into your bedrooms with proper shoulder badges."

With Odysseus here, I'm currently debating with the Captain if either we should take on Odysseus duties and rendevous with cruiser group near Tau Ceti III, or maybe we should go deeper into asteroid field. Given the emergence of Tsuan suit, it is now clear that there's a Tsuan outpost. So far, the Captain is undecided. If any of you have any suggestions, I would be glad to hear them, now."

I just started a new singleplayer character. I made him look like a dark elf xD

Maybe I will make him a mage living in a tower. Or ninja.

Magic ninja!

I'll take control of a ship near the Klingon border, engaging in diplomacy and diplomacy.

No ships stationed at Klingon border now, though. Only a system of outposts and starbases. Klingons doesn't pose a threat now, so I don't keep any warships or fleets there.

You could take lead of one of ships stationed at Trill, near Cardassians. A breaking of alliance might be brewing with them, if not outright war.

Yep. We have 21 systems, all other empires have between 5 to 9.

Galaxy-X is cruiser, not command.

23.


Our first Constellation-class heavy destroyer is completed. Cpt.Ivan took command of it, and whilst he was eager to warp toward the border systems, he was ordered to wait at orbit of Mars until completion of three other Constellation ships. As for now, we will be buying materials with our credits, which means that Cpt.Jarod should have a working patrol group quite soon.


Next turn, USS Taussig is completed at Sol.
Cpt.Nix, along with his 6th Fleet, shall now proceed over to Borka and bombard it. It is more populated system than Romulus. It's loss should deal heavy blow on Romulan production capabilities.


Also, as you can see, the Federation Council signed Order EXA-000, which means that we will be sending our Betazoid and Human agents into Romulan and Ferengi territory to do us some espionage. We shall remain concentrated primarily on internal defense, though.

Next turn, USS Hollister is finished, and added to slowly forming strike fleet of Cpt.Ivan. In the meanwhile, USS Seadragon, our newest Oberth-class scout ship is completed at Zakdorn. It shall take a course through Klingon-Romulan border, then curve along Romulan space and presumably become the first Federation ship to enter Ferengi space.

Also, on Trill, there's now 80 million population. All buildings were brought online, which reestablishes Trill as one of our most important worlds.


Ah right, at last, USS Hamner has been completed. Cpt.Ivan's strike group shall depart for Angosia, and from there, will strike any targets of opportunity.

It is actually quite of sad to harass Klingons. Their fleet is almost non-existant, thanks to the Husnock Raider ship, presumably which is still around their systems.


Hmph. Ferengi get everywhere with their small arms and big bribes.


Now that's like kicking a cripple. This game can be very harsh sometimes.


Scientific breakthrough news are always good, but not so much when it comes to Biology. Almost 95% of the time it only means better farms.


External Affairs scores their first victory. It is a very minor victory, but still a victory. This means that whilst Ferengi military and treasury are somewhat large, their rate of expansion is minimal.
And while we're at colony ships - after we will reinforce key systems with Starbases, we're going to colonize several large systems we have easy access to - those in bottom-right quarter of the map. There's no galactic empires there, which means w're free to build-up our industry there.

In the very same turn, 6th Fleet under command of Cpt.Nix arrives at Borka and prepares to siege it.


The first strike did brilliantly. It took down most of the defenses in Borka system and our ships received only minor damage. The other effect of the siege is buildup of Ferengi and Romulan ships in the area.


Cpt.Ivan and his strike group destroyed an outpost at Exo system. They are going to scout the two innermost systems of the Klingon Empire, including Qo'nos.
In next two turns, Cpt.Ivan visits Stakoron and destroys a transport ship, and at Qo'nos, a destroyer class ship. So much for Klingon Imperial Forces. The strike group was then ordered to Selay, and from that position, it shall intercept enemy vessels.

Siege of Borka continues and so far, public doesn't seem to be all negative about it.


Sandhusky discovers this system, currently in process of colonization by Romulans. The bastards seem to be on a roll when it comes to huge systems. Also, at the top, it's Crystalline Entity - we can assume it's the same that hovered near Acamar long ago.
Also at Trill, our two Ambassadors destroy a Ferengi scout that stumbled into the system.


First Contact! The Andorians have a good initial standing with us, despite being in Romulan hands. Let's check their home system, I wonder if they have nice planets.




Pardon me whilst I go take a break.
