2230
2230.01.15 -- The
Jaschalgur upgrade is finished.
Dr. Tarc is sent back to the inner arm, first to Rasalas to survey there and do some debris analysis on the most recent battle.
02.02 -- Mining network upgrade finished on Bakangi. That's it for all the planet-side construction there at the moment.
03.01 -- Spaceport upgrade at Bakangi begins. Expensive, but we're getting big enough that having a second spaceport capable of building destroyers seems to be a worthy investment. The fleet is big enough to handle any current challenge with minimal losses at the moment ...
03.02 -- Power plant upgrade finished on Humboldt. The next one will get started next month, due to the spaceport upgrade started yesterday draining our mineral reserves for the time being.
06.01 -- One farming upgrade finished on Eskogg. Another one will get the first province up to snuff.
06.25 -- A third battle with space amoebas, this one in the Pyla system, is now underway.
07.21 -- The battle in Pyla is over, with the same result as before. We won, losing a single corvette which got chewed up by the amoebas' 'strike craft'. Back home for repairs again.
08.18 -- On a seemingly lifeless moon in the Xir system(Khamb area of the middle arm) a subterranean life form has been discovered. Unfortunately the screen capture did not work for some reason, there was a pretty interesting write-up about it. Basically, the upshot is that it was a silicon-based worm-like 'creature', and as a result of it's activities the moon is a good source for mining.
09.01 -- Bakangi Spaceport upgrade is complete. Corvette Assembly Yards module will now commence.
10.06 -- A post-medieval, 'Renaissance Age' civilization has been discovered in the outer arm. We won't be able to do anything with this information for some time of course given the local hazards.
10.18 -- Power plant upgrade finished on Humboldt. For the first time in years, we now have an energy surplus. Less than half a unit per month, but it's something. Still two more such improvements to be made on the homeworld.
10.28 -- Frontier outpost finished in Yiriam. As this star chart shows, there is one neighboring system we had hoped to develop which will still be outside our territory(Andack). Nonetheless it still should be a profitable addition.
12.01 -- Farm upgrade finished on Eskogg. There is one more province needing a pair of those, and work on that begins next.
12.02 -- Fusion power research completed. There will be a new round of ship upgrades when the Nautilus Squadron arrives back at Humboldt; it is presently en route. At that time further details will be given.
We'll pause here for more research instructions. It's worth noting that by early next year a new colony ship will enter production, so about a year for now(game-time) we'll need a decision on where to send it. Thanks for those who have put in their two cents already .
