Making a couple general TL1 ships. Waiting for SD to come visit me.

Hmm I don't understand, why you waiting on us to visit you?
I may have missed posts or something, but if you wish to join us, you don't need ships or anything...we could brethaport you to the capitol instantly.

If it's about trade, then I need to check how far way you are, because there a high chance we are really far away.

Dsenteron Sector. All who come trying to kill me, FACE MAH LAZORS.

I haven't seen a single lick of lag all day.  This is awesome.  Bugs and unfeatures are getting fixed (the mouse sensitivity is tolerable now!).

So -twitching screen when moving- is not considered to be lag or bug?

I'm not seeing it.

[The Scout]

Mostly trade. I need a little tech, and someone to pour oil and plastic into.

I mean the movement lag. It is not gone.

My Candle Abbey sector doesn't seem to have any.  Weird.

Although I did run into a weird issue where, when I wormhole into my ringworld system, my client crashes for about five minutes.  Meaning that for the next five minutes, if I log in, it just quits to desktop.  Then it's fine.

...I made about a million credits yesterday on my shiny new two-system trade scam.  What's the fun in making a system self-sufficient when you can just rake in the cash instead?  I'm getting a bit burned out now though.

[PTTG??]

You can send me your money...

[The Scout]

Me too.... tech is expensive...

[PTTG??]

Does anyone know if the internal email system works? I've sent out a couple of mails and haven't gotten any responses yet.

[The Scout]

Seems I'm about to be steamrolled by the Galactic Kingdom, so I'll scream to SD for help when they come.

[Shadowlord]

SD is, what, 9 or more sectors away?

Who is this Galactic Kingdom?

[The Scout]

Some people who came by and set me to enemy. Most of my soldiers are dead, but I'm to find some way to find peace. (I believe they killed them from their spaceship)
Edit: He made an alt and murdered them all.

Been a bit inactive lately. Every time I log in the game is lagging miserably, so I've been taking a bit of a break. Still logging in to monitor research and such, just not doing much else. The fact I have to restart my tradeship every day or two because it mysteriously dies isn't really helping to motivate me to play more

RedAlertFan: Few things.

1. Sorry to tell you this, but your oil isn't that good. We have numerous sources of much better oil.

2. You are a very, very long way from us. Like 10+ sectors away, with no known wormhole route to you. This means any ship heading for you would either need to spend like 16+ hours flying light speed (assuming they could get their ship to go directly to you, which would probably require a few course corrections along the way) to get there and another 16+ hours to get back, or spend a long time charting a wormhole course for a shorter trip back and forth. And for the AI to be able to make such a wormhole trip would require colonies every few sectors to act as targets for the "go to system by wormhole" order.  Even if you had Q255 oil, it wouldn't be worth the time to trade for it.

3. The "Galactic Kingdom" is 1 person. I doubt he has much tech, unless he got it from somewhere else. Somehow the threat of him steamrolling anyone seems rather minimal. You can probably handle him if he wants to fight. Regardless, I personally wouldn't be up for a 16+ hour trip just to fight off a small no-tech one man empire unless he *really* deserved it. As in, shot my dog and burglarized my house deserved it. If you were being conquered and needed help you could probably get someone to berthaport over and help, but it isn't really something we would send warships for.

Also, apparently the Galactic kingdom is a 1 system empire a long way from you with no wormholes explored. Are you sure thats who is attacking you? Unless the galaxy map isn't updating...

A few things that might help:

1. Fighters. If you can build one, you ought to be able to take down his ship, assuming he's low-tech. Then again, with just even TL2-3 armor, maybe not.

2. Chances are, he might not be aware you can lock hull/crew doors. If you can't use a fighter, use a rocket and pirate his ship.

3. At some point, he'll have to get out of his ship to capture your bases or town square. Grab a gun, and lie in ambush for when he does.

4. Build an APC. You're very well protected in one.

Just wanted to give a heads up to SD people who don't have a sector of their own, or to our rulers:  I posted a nice and close by system in our Resource List topic that has a couple of very good starship-critical TL32-potential resources.  Someone will want to develop that place if they aren't already.
