nyah!

Slight change of plan due to lack of land. 2 Housing projects instead of 6.
Also, I'm away for a week starting from now, so it'll be storing ISU time.

I dont think File will slit your throat for saving him work for a week...we (tere and i) might though

@Everyone: Sorry about the week or so long haitus, and the lieing about updates, but I hope to get back on track now that i'm not so busy.

 Astronomers for the space-faring empires, perhaps looking out for more enemies or trying to spot their scouting fleets amongst the swirl of stars, notice something quite out of the ordinary. A supernova flaring near the center of the sector. But the next night it's gone and indeed, looking over old starmaps reveal there was no planets in that area.

 The Titanium mine on an asteroid in the (Nalia, II) belt is investigated by a craft from the main scout fleet. The scouts decide upon wearing Self-Contained atmospheric suits while investigating, which save their lives. The automated mine has large strains of fungi, devouring the metal of the base. The scouts take samples and then open the mine up to the Cold Vacuum of space, which destroys the fungi. The scout ship safely delivers the samples back to home planet and departs with the Colonizer Fleet.

The fleets should arrive at their destination in one turn.

A fleet with black ships with red trim emerge limping from a slipspace rupture in your system. They orbit Nalia and are heavily damaged. But the fleet looks like it could still put up a fight.

Spoiler:  {113,R} (click to show/hide)

The scouts scan the system.
The first planet has a high concentrations of iron ore, and perserved ruins of a civilization long past.
The second is too Irradiated to be used for anything, but through the churning clouds of sulfric acid, and gods knows what other horrible chemicals, great, molten craters can be seen, etched into this world's face by a past race.
The third is inhabited, and fires upon your ships with primitive- by your race's standards - anti-aircraft weaponry and missiles.
The moon belonging to the third planet has a small beacon on it, and once investigated, appears to be a memorial of some sorts to a past war.
The last planet has high concentrations of Silicon and Copper.

A ship from the scout fleet attempts to meet with the people of the inhabited planet, and gives the ship the gift of a high-powered missile. Unfortunately, the ship couldn't dodge this peace offering and was forced to take it. Your pretty sure this is a sign of never ending peace between your races!
In other words, the native inhabitants fired a missile at the Grantar Ship that sent down to meet with them and blew up said Ship. Most likely with the intent of war.

You know what to do.

Scout the station.

Finish the station

[Toaster]

What would it take to move facilities between a planet and space station?

(Translation:  I want to move the refineries and research lab offworld so I can put more mines on the planet)

Alrighty! Probably not tonight.

(Translation:  I want to move the refineries and research lab offworld so I can put more mines on the planet)

Hmm...I would say eithier a tech and all your future buidlings get it, but not your current ones.
But deconstructing them and rebuilding them would work.*Long rambling*
Just say move *Blank* to *Blank* It would cost a unit of fuel per intial ISU put into it to move from planet to planet, but if it's just planet to station, i'll say it won't cost anything. Unless someone starts abusing it.
 

[Maxinum McDreich]

aaand I'm back!
And didn't miss much XD

There was only one quick transmission from A'ki to the world, telling them that terrorism cannot be tolerated. Considerable resources would be put into finding them and detaining them. Meantime, no word from the scouts was also bad news and asks the citizens to keep hope that they will return. She lastly stated that there was hope that a possible solution may have arrived concerning housing and that, this would change Cr'yan civilisation.

A'ki privately agrees with Mat'hel, and the yanhunt is on.


Orders:
Another spec ops are to be trained.
Current spec ops covertly attempt to find the ringleaders of this terrorism with a secondary objective of finding out why they are doing it.

[Toaster]

Okay.  I'll be moving several facilities, so if you want to charge me some fuel, that's fine.

That race is trouble.  They're clearly warlike and have no issues blasting the hell out of a planet.  They're probably sublight and therefore no threat outside their borders, but they ought to be left alone without a proper war fleet- imperialism can come later.

Take the marine's idea- turn the hole into an ornamental pond.  Put up a memorial dedicating it to fallen soldiers.

Send the scout fleet home to refuel.

Move the following facilities to the station:  Both fuel refineries and the research lab.

Construct on the station:  4 Housing and 2 Farm (6 ISU)

Spend 1 ISU on food subsidies and infrastructure development to encourage population growth*, noting our food surplus now. (1 ISU)

Direct the research lab to study one of the sunbombs and find out how to duplicate it.  They may use whatever funding they need that is available.

*If I can't use ISU this way, use luxury goods.  If I can't use them either, it's just no-cost encouragement (speeches, propaganda, and the like.)

Spoiler: Darlat Full Captain Leela Bloodvayne, meeting with Nalian Diplomat (click to show/hide)

<Darlat_Pirate> A pale, fleshy humanoid woman in a black coat turns on a screen.
<Darlat_Pirate> "Er...Hello."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Greetings Traveler, your fleet seems to be in some distress. Do you need medical attention?"
<Darlat_Pirate> "I'm Leela Bloodvayne and as for medical aid, no, the time for that is long past..."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "I'm afraid I don't quite understand"
<Darlat_Pirate> "We have medics aboard the ship. Its been like a week or two since the fight. Either everyone is dead or back in shape."
<Darlat_Pirate> "So medical assistance is not required at this time..."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Oh, goodness...I was afraid you meant your ship was leaking atmo or something similar. So does this mean your arrival in this sector was planned or accidental?"
<Darlat_Pirate> "Both. We were supposed to investigate the faster then light travel around here, but yours was scheduled for later. We had to do an emergency slipspace jump."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Emergency being the fight you mentioned? Well in either case, let me welcome you to the Homeworld of the Nalian Highguard. As a sign of hospitality we offer use of our starport to make repairs"
<Darlat_Pirate> "Er...Thank you very much?"
<Darlat_Pirate> "No, emergency meaning having our asses handed to us by a bunch of damn primitives." She looks quite angry.
<Nalian_Diplomat> "I...see. Might I ask who these /primitives/ were?"
<Darlat_Pirate> "Thanks...?"
<Darlat_Pirate> "I dunno. But their ships didn't even have FTL engines or Harbinger Cannons. They still kicked our asses."
<Darlat_Pirate>The Nalian people notice they have five Harbinger cannons attached to their ship.
<Nalian_Diplomat> A concerned look crosses the Diplomat's face, "That is, at the very least, interesting, and at worst - very worrying."
<Darlat_Pirate> "Hmm...Want to make a deal?"
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Deals are better than coffins!"
<Darlat_Pirate> "..."
<Darlat_Pirate> "Okay."
<Nalian_Diplomat> " Heh, i was referring to my own...I’m sure you've noticed you're the only one with a ship full of cannons around here"
<Darlat_Pirate> "Not really."
<Darlat_Pirate> "Our Scanner is out."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "That can be fixed, but at the very least when they are - you'd have noticed then. I have this problem with being brutally honest in negotiations. I prefer not to avoid anything relevant to a discussion"
<Darlat_Pirate> "How about we give you an item of your choice and in return you give us acess to your spaceports and the (five ISU) required to rebuild our fleet."
<Darlat_Pirate> "That’s good to know..."
<Darlat_Pirate> "Or you can enter into a treaty with the Darlats..."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "An interesting deal, of course an answer would depend on the value of said items and/or treaty - but we can always speak over tea, please, dock and let my techs survey the damage. We may be able to save you some time"
<Darlat_Pirate> The woman looks surprised. "Err...okay."
                                                       *Later, at teatime.*
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Welcome aboard"
<Darlat_Pirate> The woman(you notice she doesn't have a respirator) sits down in an offered seat "So what are your current future plans, that way I know which tech to offer...?"
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Expansion, mostly. We've recently sent out some of our first scouts and colony vessels"
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Personally, i think our people like to tinker more than kill - i foresee a great many oddities in our future"
<Darlat_Pirate> "Hmm...Well, my people could teach you a thing or two about adapting genes to fit the planets."
<Darlat_Pirate> "Or how to clone your people with...many...negative effects..."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "that strangely seems less helpful than it sounds"
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Negative effects?"
<Darlat_Pirate> She taps something under her throat.
<Darlat_Pirate> "Sorry, my translator is on the fritz."
<Darlat_Pirate> "I meant without."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Ah! I see....In return, what do your people expect from ours?"
<Nalian_Diplomat> referring to the treaty
<Darlat_Pirate> "Five ISU and the use of your spaceport..."
<Darlat_Pirate> "For repair."
<Darlat_Pirate> "The treaty would be standard non-aggression act and standard protection from major empires."
<Darlat_Pirate> "Standard protection from major empires meddling in your affairs."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Interesting arrangement"
<Darlat_Pirate> She shrugs.
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Perhaps we could do both? An easy arrangement to get you back up and running, perhaps a visit again over some time to see if your people would actually like a treaty with us"
<Darlat_Pirate> "What would your people want in return for getting us back up in running?"
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Gene modification seems less helpful to my people, our normal genetics leave a wide variance to adaptability already. However some cloning technology seems interesting"
<Darlat_Pirate> She taps her chin.
<Darlat_Pirate> She then tells you what the emergency cloning system on her ship has in ways of use.
<Nalian_Diplomat> "How fast do you want to be out of here?"
<Darlat_Pirate> "By the end of this month."
<Darlat_Pirate> "By the end of this month."
<Nalian_Diplomat> "Very well, I'll make arrangements"
<Darlat_Pirate> She taps her neck again. "Damn thing, if I didn't need to speak with you I would cut it out. Thanks for your help. I look forward to dealing with you."

Tea works wonders.

By the way CG.

One of your engineers got caught spying on the fleet's engines. The Darlat Full Captain orders him executed to preserve secrets. She doesn't comment on it next time the Diplomat meets with her. Before he died he gave you absolutely no info you already didn't know about the fleet.
