: "Well, I had meant the one in charge, but...well, when a mage just shows up right here in front of you it must be some sort of fate. Here, both of you take a look at this."

Harlan extracted the black gemstone from his bag and held it up for the other men to examine.

: "I guess Harold had caught wind of where Lilly was kidnapped. We went there and found signs of some bad fighting, a secret trapdoor, a corridor filled with traps, a dead body, and some sort of puzzle chest containing this."

Harlan gave his brother an exaggerated thumbs-up before stalking up behind Tomik, who was clearly over-burdened with many valuable things.

: "Need a hand with any of that? You look like you're trying to balance that wyvern of yours on your shoulders."

Make a desert then, mister GM God

I guess it just bugged out for me, then. Destroying the shipyard got me absolutely nothing and the quest is still listed in my log.

oh man I dun know that lady but she roasted Ramsay so hard he turned to carbon

Oh man, Haspen...you need to look up Julia Childs. She was one of the original cooking celebrities before Food Network made it popular, and an all-around great lady.

Finally pursued the bastard cult leader to his last stand, my 1k fleet of destroyers (it's early game!) ready to put paid to his 250p battleship temple.  As I draw towards his ship to end this once and for all, I am suddenly hailed by a creature looking much the same as my own Chancellor.

"Stay out of our space.  Our kind was around for aeons before yours developed space travel."

Crap.  Fanatic Xenophobe Fallen Empire - and I'm in their space.

This quest appears to be bugged slightly. After beating the battleship and...what came next, the quest appears to be stuck back in the original boarding mission. I didn't get any sort of wrap-up text or reward, and trying to track the quest gives me a marker in the center of the galaxy.

Kinda disappointing.

My current game with spiritual militarists is going spectacularly badly at this early juncture. Very early in the game (like, the first year), some cultist event occurred in which a fleet of warships identical to my own spawned within my system and proceeded to begin shooting up a mining station. I got my own fleet over there and destroyed them all, though lost two of the three ships in the process.

During my explorations, I encounter just two anomalies. Both have very high chances of failure and so far I have indeed failed on the one I tried. I also discover literal chains of systems which are loaded with enemy forces.

Fast forward some time, I have just settled my first colony and I have been slowly expanding my resource base (very few systems in my range and most of them aren't all that good) when pirates spawn in a system that I had just sent a constructor towards.

And now my science ship with 4-star scientist has just been destroyed by an anomaly. Like every other anomaly I've found, it's one with a base 30% chance of failure.

The duplicate Sol is a bug, apparently. I know I ran into it on my Human run.

And yeah, missiles seem to have absurdly short range despite the description. I'm getting out-ranged by friggin railguns more or less constantly, which I believe are supposed to have the shortest ranges.
