[Dracus]

Yea, the ship they gave me had been blown away in battle between the toltayan and another race. I have to limp it back to my system across the toltayan's enemy system and 8 of the toltayan systems to reach my home. it will take nearly 100 turns with only one engine. Plus the systems between the carrier and my borders are unexpored so it may even take longer to find the path home.
By that time, I will aready have researched carriers.
