Just started playing again. Not sure if I'll get another post done today, but I thought I'd report on something kinda funny.
I unloaded the survey team on earth. A month later they found 200k duranium, and
completed the survey of Earth. One find on Earth, thats all we get. Talk about bad luck, hahaha. I've had better results with skill 50 teams.
I went ahead and built one more survey ship, just to speed up the surveying of Sol. They're cheap anyway, and don't use any minerals we're short of.
-edit- Played a bit and am going out. I'll go ahead and post what I have now.

Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 16th January, 2107We've begun construction on a second survey vessel. It will be done by the end of March.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 24th January, 2107Venus has been surveyed, and found to be completely barren of TN minerals as well. With our mineral prospects looking grim, I've recalled the geosurvey team to seek out more mineral resources on Earth. The Ptolemy can survey Luna while it's here.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 2nd February, 2107Good news! They found minerals on Luna, and in significantly higher quantities than those found on Earth. It's only a few types, and no Corundium which we're running short of - but it's a good sign that we might find more in the rest of the solar system.

Decturion Akigagak is now heading to survey Mercury before heading into the asteroid belt.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 6th February, 2107The survey team found new deposits of Duranium on Earth, a total of 200,000 tons. Sadly, they don't believe any new mineral deposits are to be found there.
I was also informed that our production expert, Aulus Nepius Pantera, has been studying and has improved his understanding of the technology. (15% bonus).
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 15th February, 2107We've found deposits of minerals on Mercury. Still no corundium, though. I'll have the geology team dropped off there by the Ptolemy before heading for the asteroid belt.

The Ptolemy 2 has just launched and been sent to help survey the asteroid belt.
Survey results so far have been promising, finding high accessibility deposits of various minerals - but still no corundium.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 7th July, 2107Survey of the asteroid belt is complete. They also surveyed a few comets currently passing through the asteroid belt. There is good news for corundium - several of the asteroids have significant deposits. Asteroid 162 has 5625 at 1 accessibility, asteroid 65 has 10,404 at 0.9 accessibility. Comet 4 also has 16,000 at 0.8 accessibility. They all also have various other minerals.
The geology team on Mercury also found 48,220 more sorium, and tripled the accessibility to 0.3.
The survey vessels are heading out to survey the outer solar system now.
Conversion of 320 mines has been completed, and the rest will be converted to construction factories by October. I've begun construction of automated mines, so that we can begin harvesting minerals from the asteroids and comets we've surveyed.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 12th October, 2107We've completed the conversion of conventional industry. I've ordered another 20 construction factories to be built outright to give us a larger construction capacity. Now that we have no conventional industry, fuel refineries will need to be built to continue generating fuel. I've only ordered one built so far.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 22nd October, 2107Cargo handling systems have been researched. To increase mineral production, Aulus Nepius Pantera has begun research on increasing our mining rate. He should have a 20% boost to our mining efficiency by May of 2110.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 27th November, 2107Construction of our first commercial shipyard is complete, and it has been launched into orbit. Work now begins to expand it to be capable of producing large cargo vessels. We're also beginning construction on more research labs using the facilities previously devoted to the shipyard.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 12th April, 2108Research on pebble bed reactors is complete, and MonkeyHead has further improved his education on propulsion (30%). Work on nuclear pulse engine technology has begun, which should be finished in August 2110 - or sooner if additional labs are allocated.
Numerius Falerius Arruntius has also studied hard and increased his knowledge of sensor tech (30%). This will be a boon when we begin developing sensors.
A survey on Mercury increased accessibility of Duranium from .8 to .9 as well, and I've personally picked up a few new tricks in promoting population growth (25%).
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 7th August, 2108Another lab has been completed. It has been assigned to the mining production research, which should now be completed in December 2109. We've also finished the 20 construction factories and focused 80% of construction on research labs now, with the other 20% going toward automated mines - of which we've built 7 so far.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 23rd January, 2109They found 100,000 tons of 0.2 accessibility Uridium on Mercury. We also built another lab, and assigned it to mining production as well. Once that's finished they can research construction rate, which will help in building up our research labs.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 8th August, 2109100,000 tons of 0.1 accessibility Corbomite has been found on Mercury. Too bad they couldn't find so much extra on Earth.
Aulus Nepius Pantera has increased his understanding of TN technology as well, which should speed up the completion of mining production (20%). That and the extra lab we assigned him in May.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 8th September, 2109We've completed research on mining production, and I kept Aulus going on his next planned project - construction rate. I just assigned him another lab that was completed, and he now has seven - which means the project should be finished this time next year.
Akigagak has the Ptolemy on its way back from the Kuiper belt for refueling now, and the Ptolemy 2 will be following shortly. They've surveyed about two-thirds of the Kuiper belt so far.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 13th October, 2109The geology team on Mercury finished up their survey of the planet with a find of 100,000 tons of 0.8 accessibility Vendarite. Their rating is now 190. Final minerals found on the planet are:
Mercury
Uridium 100,000 Acc: 0.2
Corbomite 100,000 Acc: 0.1
Vendarite 100,000 Acc: 0.9
Duranium 6,756,146 Acc: 0.9
Tritanium 3,722,170 Acc: 1
Boronide 5,358 Acc: 0.1
Sorium 57,750 Acc: 0.3
Gallicite 192,897 Acc: 0.8
Since the Ptolemy 1 is already halfway back to the Kuiper belt, I'll have the Ptolemy 2 pick them up and drop them off on Venus when it gets back for refueling in 71 days.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 17th June, 2110The geology team quickly finished their survey of Venus. They found 200,000 tons of access 0.9 duranium, 100,000 tons of access 0.9 corbomite, and 91566 tons of access 0.1 Boronide. I suspect someone aboard the Ptolemy 1 wasn't doing his job when they reported Venus has no minerals. Since both survey ships are way out in the Kuiper belt, the survey team will have to wait on Venus for a while.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 4th August, 2110Aulus Nepius Pantera completed his study of construction rates, and has boosted our efficiency by 20%. He now begins a long term study on research efficiency, but I've only alloted him two research facilities in favor of completing more immediate goals - like the new engines.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 14th August, 2110MonkeyHead completed research into nuclear pulse engines, and the prospects look good - a 60% increase in thrust over our nuclear thermal engines. Before researching new engines, he has convinced me to allow him a two month foray into fuel efficiency - which will cut the fuel use down to 90% of current engines.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 3rd November, 2110MonkeyHead has completed his commercial engine design, including the increased efficiency.

This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes
The commercial shipyard is still being expanded to fit this size of ship. It's currently at 47,000 tons, with another 5000 due in March 2111. It should be ready to build our first cargo vessel some time next year.
Both of our survey vessels have returned from the Kuiper belt. Our entire system is now surveyed for minerals, and many promising sites have been found.
MonkeyHead has proposed research into theoretical jump points that might be a way to travel to other systems. I've given him five labs for this research. I'm also giving Aulua Nepius Pantera another three labs, Zebulon two labs to work on high density duranium armor, and the last two I've assigned to Numerius Falerius Arruntius to develop active search sensor technology.
Administrator Lucius Amatius Proculus' Personal Log, 1st January, 2111Construction is going well. As of today, we have the following facilities on Earth:
8 maintenance facilities
700 construction facilities
320 mines
23 automated mines
14 research labs (with another on the way shortly)
1 ground force training facility.
1 military academy
1 deep space tracking station
1 1000 ton military shipyard
1 47000 ton commercial shipyard (to be increased to 56,000)
Fuel stocks are at 5,303,995, not much increased since we have no fuel refineries currently.
Total population of Earth is now 686.18 million with a 2.83% growth rate, and we still have 69.27 million available workers.
Jump Point Theory is scheduled to be done in October 2112, Research Rate 280 in May 2115, Active Grav Sensor Strength 10 in November 2111, and High Density Duranium Armor in August 2114.
Top scientists in their fields are currently:
MonkeyHead: Power and Propulsion 30%, max 30 labs.
Numerius Falerius Arruntius: Sensors and Fire Control 30%, max 15 labs.
Aulus Nepius Pantera: Construction and Production 20%, max 25 labs
Zebulon: Defensive Systems 10%, max 15 labs
Galerius Lafrenius: Logistics/Ground Combat 10%, max 25 labs
