Elsewhere at a less important occasion House Hawkwood also announces one new settlement on Pentateuch and four new cities on Tethys.

Maybe we should have a separate announcement for the ministry constructions? For example: "House Hawkwood announces one new settlement... and ministry Imperial fleet announced four new settlements..."

Also, i have noticed that symbiots destroyed the half of the fleet even without engaging in direct combat. As i understand they were just landing and taking off almost every turn.

You misunderstand, those are all Hawkwood settlements.

Wow, this is a great progress.
Do you have any idea about Symbiots? I remember 3 turns ago they had full stack of spaceships, last turn they had only 60% stack and many ships were damaged. Including even empty transport ships. All ministry vessels were left untouched.

[Margrave]

I should have taken screen shots, but there was a full stack of 20 symbiot units with maybe 10-12 actual ships with cargo. Plenty of pod ships and perhaps 5 grapplers(?) And two or three blow ships.

Fleet losses were one fight, one frigate.

No wonder I had a spillover over Ishtakr.

(I'll get my turn in in a few hours)

Congratulations to the new Regent! May he perform his functions dutifully and safeguard our skies from Symbiot incursions.


A word of warning to all concerned - we have allowed trade to flourish over Criticorum, however we did not allow military presence there. May this be the last warning - any house military ships spotted over our worlds will be swiftly dealt with.

Baroness Cassandra Li Halan shook her head in disgust as she scrolled through the transparent holo-screen in the archive room at Imperial Eye Headquarters on Byzantium Secundus.  It was an endless stream to bureaucratic legalese, misappropriated funds, and a list of agents that had not been followed up with by their handlers for years still carrying out whatever mission they were originally tasked that may or may not even be relevant to the current politics of the Empire.

"By the Pancreator, how does my cousin Flavius expect me to sort out this web of chaos!" she said with a frustrated scowl.  Her Vorox Bodyguard raised an eyebrow at her sudden outburst as he stood stoically next to the entrance of the archival chamber. "Well, let us begin to unravel this mess shall we, and there is no better place to start than this cesspool of sin and vice we so fondly call our capital." she said with a sly smirk across her face.

Incoming Diplomatic Transmission for His Excellency Lord Regent Alvarex Hawkwood & Envoys of the Great Noble Houses

Esteemed Lord Regent and Lords and Ladies of the Great Houses of the Known Worlds, Duke Flavius Li Halan has bestowed the most honorable duty upon myself to serve as Interim Director of Operations at the Imperial Eye Headquarters on Byzantium Secundus.  Duke Flavius has tasked me with streamlining the somewhat disorganized and utterly defunct operations of the Imperial Eye.

The first mandate we have instituted at the command of Lord Flavius is the reactivation of Planetary & Geological Surveys of the Known Worlds.  Long range high orbital stealth fighters with advanced surveillance equipment that had been mothballed in warehouses at Imperial Eye Headquarters have been reactivated on Byzantium Secundus.  The data that they have collected regarding Byzantium Secundus has been transmitted to each of your diplomatic envoys.

Secondly, all Imperial Eye operatives have been recalled to Imperial Eye Headquarters on Byzantium Secundus for debriefing and reassignment.

Lastly, in accordance with Article III, Section 2 of the Imperial Charter instituted by the late Emperor Vladimir Alecto.  "The Imperial Eye shall through the use of eminent domain acquire any and all resources necessary to maintain the function and execution of both domestic and foreign operations." Therefore the Imperial Eye has established a facility on Tethys obtain rare earth minerals for production and maintenance of high tech equipment, and a Spaceport to provide the leasing of Muster & Charioteer services to supplement ongoing operations.  We have currently signed a contract with the Muster for delivery of two of their Advanced Assault Landers for our newly formed rapid reactionary force.

Most Humbly,

Baroness Cassandra Li Halan

FYI... This Friday I will be leaving on a road trip and I will be leaving at Noon U.S. Eastern Time and will not be back until late Saturday.  Since, I will not be able to do a turn until Sunday, if we can get through the next turn by tomorrow evening I will send mine out before I leave on Friday.

Hot damn, the Symbiots have a lot of spaceships. Incidentally, is there any particular reason why cities that are garrisoned by spaceships are completely impervious to capture by ground units?

The Hazat build two more cities on Pentateuch

Just one of the many bugs from the original version of Emperor of the Fading Suns that is hardcoded into the game.

Does it mean that you can capture spaceships only from the ruins, while cannot from the cities of other fractions?

[Il Palazzo]

I thought the bug only concerned ships loaded with cargo? That's why there's usually a house rule (for some reason not included in the OP) enforcing unloading of all landed ships before ending one's turn.

[Vertab Nukks]

No this bug only applies to the Symbiots, you can capture house units, church, league, and ministry as long as they are unloaded

Two noblemen were walking down the hall at the palace on Severus. The last months went grim and the situation in the court declined. Vladimir Decados was often enraged and a few statesman have been already decapitated.
Finally the one nobleman started his talk:
- "I heard the skies over Malignatius have been penetrated again."
- "True. Vladimir has sent his son Boris with a great fleet to bring order to our border Worlds."
They walked around the corner. From the windows have been seen a plentiful garden world. A large freighter was taking off the spaceport. It was loaded with the food supplies for De Moley but no one can be sure spaceship will arrive safe.
- "...Right now there is a huge fleet over our heads. A big number of Decados battleships have been gathered. This power matches legendary holy fleets of the Second Republic. Vladimir wants to free Decados space of non allied battleships and be able to destroy any trespassing."
- "A single fleet is not able to fight with numerous Imperial warparties. If Regent will resist - and he will resist, we will very quickly found ourselves without single space vessel with cities buried under ashes."
- "I know this, Constantine, but i cannot do anything with Vladimir. It is his right to guide House Decados even when he is misguided himself."

-------------------------------------------

House Decados announced a new construction at the world De Moley.

Vladimir Decados requests other Houses and Ministries to remove their battle vessels from the Decados space. The only exception is made for the Church ships.

[Vertab Nukks]

Vladimir Decados requests other Houses and Ministries to remove their battle vessels from the Decados space. The only exception is made for the Church ships.

Lord Flavius Li Halan respects this request by our neighbors in the House Decados, the Li Halan shall only send the routine merchant vessel through Decados Jump Lanes to transport goods to and from our holdings on Cadiz and Malignatius.  Also, the Imperial Eye Ministry will only use transport vessels in Decados space, and if there are any Stealth Ships stationed there they will be gone shortly to return to Byzantium Secundus for debriefing.  We have allowed Decados space vessels both military and civilian free travel through Li Halan territory and we assume of noble cousins will reciprocate this agreement by continuing to allow our ships safe passage in their region of space.
