7.Turn 73 welcomes us with breakthrough in weapons and mass-reject of our treaty proposals by everyone I have asked for. Well, time to bugger off with diplomacy and concentrate on expanding 'traditionally' by colonies...
That's... not what I would call 'Eden'. In fact, there's around 8 or so systems that could be all useful with their maximum populations and other bonuses. Time to host another fleet of colony ships and transports.
Just as we finish work here. As you can see, I'm going to strengthen our scouts a little by forming them into two pairs of ships. They are cheap and AI almost never uses scouts in groups, sending singlets instead. In case of aggressive action, our paired Oberth's will be able to drive them off.
Goddamn alien flu, it is still pouncing happily around my systems!
In the same turn, Zakdorn accept our affiliation treaty and Romulans accept our non-aggression proposal. They took a while to consider that, you know.
Uh oh. Damn you air-eating Angosians! Look at that ship! It menaces with orbital death! It wouldn't be here if you had your damn farms. I wouldn't have to build them, I would have outpost at you or maybe a few scouts.
Oh well. Let's hope that the destroyer won't be joined by transports or larger ships.
Bastards. They must've snuck into Gaspar when we were doing peace negotiations (quite normal Romulan tactic, don't you agree?). Well, for now, they can live there. It's not that valuable of a system, but next time I won't be that nice.
The Klingon destroyer at Angosia is still there, but no other ships joined it. Speaking of the system, we managed to get the food production onto positive numbers. Huzzah!
Sol system finished construction of two additional scouts. USS Martynov will be paired with USS Sandhusky, and the old USS Andromede will get USS Cortes as a partner.
Wonderful! Time to build Federation Council, upgrade Sol a little and start churning out few Ambassadors. First bunch of them will be stationed at Angosia, as soon as we build an outpost close to it.
They really want a slap. They just constructed an outpost at Gaspar. We're on content morale but I really consider breaking the treaty to raid the outpost and then harass Romulans a bit. Sounds not-like Federation, though. We're backing off, for second time now. In the meanwhile, Klingons deployed second Destroyer at Angosia system.
Suddenly, we've lost contact with the crucial outpost at Peliar Zel. They've sent distress signal shortly before that, as well as a single picture of some strange anomaly.
Personally I hate it. I hope it will go to Klingons, or maybe Romulans.
Nope. The 'Calamarain' as our scientists call it, went on rampage against our outpost at Orellius system, obliterating it to dust.
Just as a third Klingon warship enters Angosian star system, the shipyard located there is allowed to buy the spare parts (for a high cost) and hastily finishes our first light Cruiser, Ambassador-class starship, USS Valdemar.
It has 410 shield points, and Klingons have around 300 SP together. Let's click 'End Turn' and see the battle, and it's conclusion...
Remember kids - sometimes you only have to show a gun without actually firing it to scare your opponent.
The Klingon ships ran away from Angosia. USS Valdemar shall remain there as the guardian of the system, as well as a reminder of the day in which Federation won without firing a single torpedo.
Calamarian is still at Orellius, and the scouting pair Martynov-Sandhusky shall attempt to sneak past it, around the Romulan space and then, will go check out newly-accessible regions near Klingon systems, thanks to the Angosian shipyard range.
But that in the next installment of the LP~
//Phew, I really thought there will be a rather tight battle against the Klingons. Valdemar has better shields, hull and firepower, but was alone against two destroyers and a scout.
//Had to wait two hours for imgur to start working their uploadas, hurr :x
