Soo .. "throw lots of people at the problem" chances of failure, or "don't even try" chances of failure?
I suppose you can still try, but expect fail chances to be over 75%.

Wow my guys were supposed to be neutral but compared to you Nirur they are like angelic you are evil.
Wow my guys were supposed to be neutral but compared to you Nirur they are like angelic you are evil.

I have this strange aversion towards either building a shipyard on a planet's surface, or building an orbital shipyard without a space elevator. Somehow, throwing people out an airlock and telling them to build stuff seems like a good idea in comparison.

I'M SURE THAT NONE OF MY PEOPLE WILL MIND ME USING CLONES LIKE THIS.

Edit: ..... Or I guess I could just spend the 5IC on a spaceport.
They don't need to know...

Btw, you can always recycle it after usage.

Turn 17

Leader Name and title: Zolas Nisala the High King, known to the people as the Saint King
Governement system: Monarchy
Average time between ruler change: Long
Researcher(25%)
Peoples hero(less change of revolts)
Bloody background(change for revolt when repressing people)
Race: Zelterrans
Abilities:
Aquatic
Aquaculture
Spoiler: Buildings (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Storage (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Local fleet and army (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Research (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Local system (click to show/hide)

Construction:
Basic tanker ship: 4 IC, 0/15 fuel, (Spaceport required. Allows refueling in orbit and midflight)

Movement:
Both Fighter Squadrons return to Zelterra for refueling

Workforces:
2 Pop. - Aquaculture Center
2 Pop. - Mine
4 Pop. - Factory  (I assume you wanted it this way, considering the mines can only employ 2 pop units)
4 Pop. - Lab
4 Pop. - Fuel Distillery

Research:
Jump gate research: Research indicates there to be 2 possibilities. Either researching the construction of our own Jumpgates, or portable ones.
             - Jumpgate construction[Allows construction of orbital jumpgates. 20 IC, 10 raremetals, 5 science artefacts, 20 fuel, 10 size] [60/100]
             - Portable jumpdrive [0/15]
Orbital Habitat Modules: [Gives +1 pop cap to any cities constructed in orbit. 2/15]

Other:
-Population growth threatens to stress food supply
-Research goes decently, and different ways to combat the algae are devised. Burning seems to be the most effective, but barricades and preventing them from getting light work too. As for the research opportunities, you could either modify the algae to deploy it on other planets, or extract the poison. It seems to be ome kind of neurotoxin, which can quickly kill, or if used in correct dosages, incapacitate.
-Your scientists report an enormous breakthrough in jumpgate research. They guess they are now farther than halfway done.
-The scout makes an interesting discovery on Kylon. Apparently, it is orbited by an exceptionally large moon, which has it's own atmosphere and is quite similair to your home planet. It might even be habitable.

Build 2 cities on new planet. Back at the home planet construct two new scouts. Make sure the cargo and construction ships have enough fuel to get home.

Research
Subatomic Nanobots:[Can be used in conjuction with any rolled action, and will then give a small bonus to it,while worsening the effects if the roll fails.[7/10] (This is just the effect of the basic of the nanotech tree. You can develop the individual functions later.)

The plague dropping goes well. Most of the major population centers have been taken, and the plague is spreading fast. Estimates are that it will have killed 99% of the population within 3 turns. A large amount of peopleis asking for communications to be started with the aliens. At the moment they know nothing of the plague

Other: Arm our trade fleet with our new guns as a simple safeguards. (-2 IC) . Done
Space trade flourishes, however, there are a few problems. At the moment a few mighty trade conglomerates are forming, absorbing independent traders as they go. It's your choice wherether you support them or the individual traders. The conglomerates will be able to do more, but there's the risk of a monopoly. Getting the individual traders to do your bidding would be a adminstrative problem, but at least they won't demand outragous prices.

Also, a few people would like to construct an orbital shipyard around Thorcal. They would like you to contribute 20 IC* and 15 Metal. The spacestation would have the following specifics.
Size: 10/10
    -Medium Shipyard: 5
    -Civilian trade center, stockpiles and shipyard: 5

It's look awful... I see no good ways to develop, running out of space,  no nice planets to colonize, no good use for IC, should change strategy somehow

BTW,  food looks wrong, I should have 13+13+20-24-10 = 12 food

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

Spacestations can help, extra space, and is still considered part of your capital.

And fixed that. Must have subrtracted that field twice.

Recall Construction and cargo ships

Try to  strengthen the doctrine and begin to run simulations of battles with our computers

Put the person on slightly larger rock than former center of the universe on the farms.

Also continue research, next up? Configurable bullets.

Slight change of plan the subatomic robots are going to change, but I won't tell you to what yet.

I will send a PM to Ebbor now

Underground farms.

Other:

Support the larger companies. However, create laws forbidding a single company to own more than 20% of the traderoute. Also give a slight subside for smaller indiependent  companies.(1- Luxury goods per turn) 

Accept the proposal. Promise that they will have the resourses within 5 turns.

Have an action for the jumpdrive, ask what promises the larger companies can give us if they get the jumpdrive.

Subside space colonisation and exploration for companies. (5 Luxury goods) (Outside of the tradefleet)

Btw, what does my civilian trade do? Does it give passive bonuses? Does the trade route cost less fuel or can I transport more?

And, same zith happiness, does it create random events (which I have missed) or passive buffs?

1. I haven't actually figured that out yet. At the moment I'm thinking of adding a passive transportation buff. (Not nessecerially controlled by you. (food shortage and civilians will start transporting food, stuff like that)) and the possibility of commandeering transport capacity.

Happiness gives a mix of random event (adwarf got one) and some passive buffs
