6.Just as the system Volon is colonized, our scientists manage to improve our warp drives. Lvl 3 Propulsion increases the 'green range' by 1.
Two turns later and another breakthrough. There's a bunch of ocean planets at our colonies so the Aquaculture centers will be very useful.
Also during this turn, I send non-aggression pact to Klingons, affiliation treaty to Zakdorn and membership proposals to Angosians, Betazoids and Acamarians. We will see how it will go.
Suddenly USS Martynov bumps onto Klingon scout, a Bird-of-Prety warship. Per our tradition, we shall ask first, and fire in self-defence.
IKS Hemlom was thus hailed. We received no reply other than the sound of warp drives taking the Klingon scout out of the system.
One turn later, we receive words from our ambassadors. Everytone rejected our treaties - except Betazoids. They are first non-human members of Federation, and we welcomed them with open arms. Let's check their system now.
Oh, neat! They have many Type-2 buildings. Most of them were scrapped, and queue of building orders was set in there. Betazed didn't had a shipyard at start, so we have to build it on our own. The whole system however is fine addition to our society. We can now open another trade route and with Betazoid halls of learning our research will go even faster.
We've been contacted by Romulans out of nowhere. Fine, I say, but I don't recall meeting any ships or planets...
...
Cloaked warships anyone? That gives me chills down my spine.
While Martynov will carefully entering Romulan border, Andromede checks the other side of Acamarian border and finds few unremarkable systems devoid of any bountiful planets or dilithium-rich stars. Oh, well.
The moment we enter Romulan space, we have been hailed by Romulan colony ship. We performed sensor sweep when the captains were talking...
I can give wild guess that the system on the left is Romulus. They are clearly preparing to expand toward Acamar and Betazed. We have to build defense perimeter around our affiliates before Romulans will decide to use force instead of just words.
Martynov has been tasked in diving deeper into Romulan territory to check on our potential enemies.
Agnosians joined the Federation! Of course we have to check their system for goods.
...wat.
Apparently the Angosians were capable of surviving only on air before they joined the Federation and suddenly they are now dying by millions. I cannot comprehend. I have to build farms, but thanks to the ton of Type-3 foundries, stabilization of Angosian system will be quick. We also have to build an outpost there because Klingons already colonized Exo system.
Martynov in meanwhile reported finding a Romulan system called 'Borka' and sensor readings indicate more troop transports and colony ships in local region. Our scout has been ordered to leave the Romulan space in case there are armed ships waiting under cloak.
One turn later, our scientists develop Molecular Data Imaging. It brings two useful buildings - the first one helps protect your minor races from being bribed from you, and second increases credit income on the system by 50%.
Klingons just now noticed that Angosia is a Federation system and demand tribute. Tribute for what? We shall ignore it for now, but reinforcing Agnosia is our priority task now. That will be done the next time.
//It's first time when I made more images than I played turns (13 images, 8 turns). It was quite interesting bunch, though - we got first Federation members, with some weird stuff happening, and Romulans somehow were kind enough to let us poke around their space.
