Arrrrenaaaaaa...

yes, it's that fun.

[Himmelhand]

For the record I'm starting the turn, should have it done within a couple days at most.

[Journier]

sounds good bud.

[Paul]

With all the skips I'm not sure if I will be available when my time comes either, especially if Zangi skips too. Still rather busy

We'll see. I can always catch it on the second go-around if not.

[Journier]

it sucks people skip due to a game releasing after they agreed to it....

 

Must not be enraged.... 

[Tarran]

WHHYYYY WOONNNNTTTT YOOOUUUUU GUUUUUYYYYYSSSSS PLAAAAAYYYYY?!

[AussieGuy]

Will the new DF is out so your gonna expect some skips.

[Himmelhand]

Turn is complete, writeup will follow, probably tomorrow.

Here is the game file:

Fuuuu-----

4 days and 10 years is it?   I guess I'll get it done in that time.

[Journier]

hah

[Tarran]

Himmel, where's our promised writeup?! Don't make me have to separate your head from your body to get you to write it!

There she is...  I'll have the words up as soon as I upload the pics.

Note: I played the whole time with a 1440x900 screen... so there were things I could not do...

My Words and Pictures:
Janurary 1, 2055  16:05

I've just taken control of the United Earth Government.  Havn't a clue what my predecessor has done.  It seems the previous administration has not given their report as of yet.

Decided to make the Cargo Mk1 obsolete, seeing as we have the Mule Freighter 1.  ... The speed of our civilian ships are abyssmal.  I must do something to remedy that.  Time waits not for humanity.

1st order of business is to assign the 5 available labs to Curtis Tenbrink for the research of Stellarator Fusion Reactor Technology.

Our supply of Duranium and Mercassium are low.  Expansion of mining capability is a must.

Spoiler: Mine Report 2055 (click to show/hide)

Construction of the Gaia Terraformers 005 and 006 has been stopped indefinitely.

February 1, 2055 16:05

It seems I've overlooked the report on one of the Hawking 002's destruction.  Knight Nadia Vorontsov and her surviving crew were found dead by a civilian ship long after life support ran out.
Review of the other Hawking ships shows that 001 requires repairs.  I'll decommission these ships, we have no need of them nor do we have the facilities to maintain them.

April 17, 2055 02:05

Research for colonization has been completed, freeing 10 labs.  I immediately put Jan Karney as head of 5 labs to research increasing the power output of our engines by 5%.
The other 5 labs have been placed under Curtis Tenbrink's research on Stallarator Fusion Reactor Tech.

July 17, 2055 02:05

Whats this?  We have not set-up fleet command?  Blasphemy.  Utter blasphemy.  No wonder why I've been getting all these useless and time consuming reports.  This must be remedied now....   
The damned politicians have blocked all my attempts at appointing Arman Melinkov... and also my second pick, Gerhardt Tafel.  I must ensure that this never happens again.  But, that is for another time.

September 17, 2055 02:05

What with the workload on my part in reviewing everything...  I have had to stay up late for the past few months.  I'm on to their game.  Those politicians will all rue the day....

The civilians put up a mining colony on Asteroid #62, Duranium and Mercassium deposits have been found there.  I've decided to buy it all.  Our treasury is in the green anyways.

January 12, 2056 20:05

Research on the poweroutput and terraforming efficiency has been completed, I've placed all labs under Curtis Tenbrink.

June 16, 2056 20:05

Stallarator Fusion Reactor Tech is completed.  Magneto-plasma drive tech is now being researched by Curtis Tenbrink. 
Mining operations are also being expanded to Oberan and Venus.

August 22, 2057 08:05

Earth's Duranium supply has run out... I hope the expansion of the mining operations can keep up with our demands.

November 22, 2057 08:05

Research on the Magneto-plasma drive tech has been completed.

Curtis Tenbrink has begun research on:

Designed to stick it out for 3 years alone in a foreign system.  The Hawking Mk II  should be able to do its job as designed...


September 26, 2059 20:05

Today is the day.  Hawkings 001, 002 and 003 will each be entering and exploring the 3 jump points we have found.  Who knows what they will find.

October 4, 2059 14:05

Reports from Hawking 001 came in, 2 delerict ships... We are not alone, but... are they hostile? 
I've decided to have Hawking 001 continue with the survey plans.  Besides that, there seems to be 2 suns. 
The crew of Hawking 001 has decided to call this system Sainte-Vaubourg, no reason not to go along with it.

Hawking 002 has entered the 2nd jump point.  It is empty except for a single star. Another fairly useless system.  It has been dubbed, Temple Cowton.

October 13, 2059 02:05

The Hawking 003 has finally reported in.  Images show another empty system with a single star, except for 2 more delerict ships.

Survey is to continue.  This system has been dubbed Temple Dinsley.

Temple Cloud System... By Jah! It has habitable planets!

Note to self: Find out why these guys have this religous theme going on...  I may have to do something about it later... if they don't stop...

Mars atmosphere is finally breathable!  Time to put some Nitrogen into it.

Is this... a dead end system?

Oh, nevermind.  I didn't zoom in on the display.

Named San Bevignate, it has another habitable planet.  Jump Point 3 in Sainte-Vaubourg system.

It seems its the end for me...

What surprises me is that I have not yet encountered anything other then 4 delerict ships.  But then, I have not combed the systems with active sensors....

In closing...

Research into the targeting system and gauss technology has gone relatively well. I believe I've made decent headway into the development of military and engine technology.  But may have been a little week with acquiring resources.

A new colony has been set up in Temple Cloud, Moon 6.  Just need to move some people there.

I think I'll have to skip this round, I'm still pretty busy working on a project, and I'm procrastinating enough goofing around with Dwarf Fortress on and off.

I expected to be done with the project before my turn came up, but with the skips my turn came a few days too early

[Tarran]

I suggest scrapping ships, as whatever we find will pay off the costs, in material and knowledge!

[Zangi]

I left that to others, since we havn't researched salvaging tech as of yet.  Plus, they can still be used....  no matter how inefficient...  Oh yea, I left a lot of ships idling back on earth.

... I think I uploaded my pictures all wrong like...
