My credit amount is off... I should have many more... also, Ve is in Charlie, not Bravo.

"More like I was right, Amelia. We now have a half functioning alien gunship at our disposal, plus some live aliens to go with it. I've just singlehandedly propelled us decades into the future. Which means, of course, one thing...

"I get to name the aliens."

...
Amelia hmph'd. :I

"We were both right anyway...and I think you should ask them what they call themselves (like scientific names for example) before assigning a common name for them. Hopefully its not stereotypical in a way.

"Also thank your engineers too (and the many people in your province)--this is a mutual effort."

She glanced to the side and looked at a plush toy sitting in her vicinity. "That, and we should be weary that whatever future we're arriving at with their technology, was beaten by something else with a future more advanced than their technology. We must advance in research with them--and possibly ally with them. Treat them humanely (even if you just shot out their engines that we may not be able to recover in whole, but now at best in part)."

[webadict]

"Sure, there are many people behind the efforts of Cruarea. It would be silly to say anything but that. I am merely the decision-maker. And my decision just saved countless manhours and possibly lives of not just my own people.

"You should occasionally listen to your military advisor. Sometimes, force is necessary. Humanity is not always defined by compassion, and there's no way of knowing for sure that aliens are anything like us. I am erring on the side of caution. I will not recklessly end the lives of beings, but should they pose a danger to the fine people of Cruarea, I will do so without mercy.

"Allies are useful, sure, but I can never trust those that end the lives of my people, until they can prove they are trustworthy."

Queries missed! :O

((I thought I had armed my Erinyes with only missiles? o_O))
> Is it possible to create a Rukh without armaments at reduced cost? [as in, purely for speed]

((Because its important so I can fill out my last action slot other than the one for research))

[Skyrunner]

You can make a Ruhk with no armaments but it'll cost the same.

Edited mine
(I still want that double missile config so I can land one more point of damage in D:)

Armament: A ship may carry 0 to 2 weapons types. For example, the Impasser has 2x Pinion Weapons 570nm lasers. It could theoretically also equip any number more 570nm lasers, or another weapons system such as the 770nm laser, but not a missile launcher in addition to that.
cost: In credits.

((Edit: Oops. Thanks for clarifying about the size of the ship vs the armaments and ammunitions [unstated but inferred] it can carry :X))

[Skyrunner]

Year 3, Q3~4
A disabled alien ship sits in Earth orbit as the various humans attempt to decipher its transmissions.
Pelsk of Cruaraea
Much activity goes on in the orbital docks of Cruaraea.

Fifty credits is spent to expand the Orbital Docks! The next Orbital Docks will require 100 credits.
Two Erinyes are constructed for 80 credits total.
Alien Transmissions research is conducted in another lab, for 40 credits.

Income is 109 and expenditure is 170, for a net loss of 61 credits.

Pelsk's Impasser arrives at PartFutureSon! The system has 2 colonizable planets, Alpha and Beta. There are many ion drive trails in the system. No Alien ships are currently detectable. There's something strange about PartFutureSon Beta though--its planetary surface is discolored and reminds one of decay.

Amelia of Kasselyn also conducts research in Alien Transmissions for 40 credits.

The Orbital Docks are expanded, costing 50 credits. The next expansion requires 100.

Mission Control is likewise expanded for 50, and Kasselyn now has 8 control. The next expansion requires 100 credits.

She cannot scan the skies from Pelsk Alpha, because there are no ships there to scan with!

With 114 income, this turn's net loss is 26 credits.

Zhakarov of the Euroslavic Federation conducts more research.

Kinetic Missiles - 50 credits (+5 to Patents)
Alien Transmissions - 20 credits (+2 to Patents)
Enhanced Unmanned Mining is already researched... you can retroactively choose a different tech next turn.

Income of 82 means this turn's net gain is 12 39 credits.

Zhakarov's Scout arrives in ChooseSoldierNobody. The system has 1 colonizable planet, Prime. There are no ion trails. The system is fairly quiet.

Fletcher of Titanian Republic
30 credits spent on Lasers and Armor, respectively.

The Colonizer reaches Prime and colonizes it! +15 income. Fletcher can also name the system, now.

My Erinyes should be at HatBeyondGreater, and the Colonizer Alpha should be expended. Also, what would I need to set up a space dock at somewhere other than Earth?

Uhm, the number in my action already included my research cost deduction bonus. Now you counted it twice.
