If the marketing team of Nix Labs agree, I suggest we call the new engine Orion, from the old DARPA project of the 50's.

Good point there.  What are Don Knopp's traits?  Fingers crossed for a total arsehole so we can have violent first contacts.  ;D

I'd like a captain, if possible. Don't expect me to say anything/RP though :P

November 18, 2035
Haan Industries and Nix Labs have announced that they have entered into a contract to develop a new engine technology, code named the Orion project..
Governor Perego, in a brief statement to the press, expressed delight that two of the most influential research and development firms on earth have come together for the benefit of mankind.
The contract, drafted by the Haan Industries' legal staff, provides a clear-cut agreement that should see both companies benefit in the long run.
When asked for comment, Numbers Leno of Pelland Research declined to speculate about the deal.
Some industry insiders are churning rumors of a possible merger between Nix Labs and Haan Industries in the near future. A representative from Nix Labs declined to comment on the matter of a merger, saying only that he believes the public should not jump to conclusions too quickly. A Haan Industries spokesperson could not be reached for comment.

And now for the Meet a Member of the Earth Navy segment


Meet Lieutenant Commander Korbac. He is a 27 year old graduate of the Earth Military Academy currently serving as captain of the Enforcer 001. Part of the task group Solar Close Patrol, Lieutenant Commander Korbac spends his days training with his crew and task group and patrolling the inner solar system. His task group senior officer, Lieutenant Commander Elizabeth Metcalfe, says that Korbac is a reliable man that she'd be glad to have on her side during combat.

In case you missed last week's segment of Meet a Member of the Earth Navy, here is a brief recap:


And here is a quick sneak peak at next week's segment:

Thanks. The messages you send when somebody dies makes me chuckle every time.

Can I have the command of a freighter as soon as you have one?

I want to be a space-truck-driver!

A merger...

Huh. 

Anyway, nice job so far Goron, this really is a true interactive LP, it would be such a shame for this to die because of Crusader Kings 2

...Then again a Crusader Kings 2 lp would be nice.  Considering how good the original CK lp of yours was.

Yes, but we don't have any yet.

I don't think a merger would be in our best interests. Plus, Earth's anti-trust authority wouldn't allow it I guess.

I love you, Goron! That's like, accidentally the greatest compliment ever. :D

Even if it was playable with that resolution, it would still be a nightmare to play. Even with my 21" screen, I am still having trouble to manage all the windows.
It's just....SO MUCH MICROMANAGEMENT!!!!1....and I love it ._.
