Which Imperial Ruler is next up on the plate? It sounds like En1gma has weathered a storm, but that a nastier one is coming. Who has to take over and see if they can keep the empire alive another 100? |

I'm enjoying the read too. What are the characteristics of the Shrike Fighter? I wonder if some high evasion low durability fighters might be good in this situation. I've created an album of the ship designs that were in use when I finished my turn: imgur.com/a/rJB4kI'll add the additional ships as turns come out. Looking at them I see places we can improve  |

I'm getting nervous that the news is going to be bad since it is taking this long.

Part one of the update is up, the games are uploaded, but I haven't had time to update the Turn Log.
It's a mixed bag, but I have built the foundation upon which we will drive the Xeno back.

Very, very cool. I was hoping that our little empire would start to run into some shoals, we had a bit of smooth sailing in the early game. I might be able to take a turn this weekend, but don't feel the need to wait on me. If Cory (or anyone else) thinks they have the time to run a cycle, go for it! I still stand by my Hummingbird and Anvil combo, the Anvil was never meant to be a front-line combatant. It was designed to be a cheap, rear echelon support ship. The Hummingbirds were to hold the line, with the Gnats and Alta mesa torp fighters providing the fist of the fleet. Totally agree with Cory on the combat recommendations, since it appears we all have very different ways of playing. Of course, we never have to follow any recommendations, as we are all independent rulers, but it would be nice to know exactly what the previous commander was planning when you take the reigns! haha. Good cycle En1gma! |

I've played this exact game before, down to the AI positions and everything. It took me thousands of turns to win. There are absolutely some dark times ahead. I cannot wait to see En1gma's saved game! |

This is going to be brutal! The last turn of En1gma's run marks the beginning of a Spy War. Our Income drops to -396 ... we'll be broke in 9 turns. |

Ack!! There are several exchange 4 on the way, so there may be a small measure of wealth to be gleaned yet. Also recently researched if not on its way, is the Mine 3 tech (I think anyway...)
