The Terran Federation is moving on up - from 7th to 4th in just a matter of a few turns. But I don't think I'm anywhere near Dragonlord...

I think I am going to catch Dragonlord pretty quick now. I did a little exploring, and found what one might call a tresure trove. And, it's all mine.

Most of the surrounding area around my systems is dead space. Lots of systems - but little or nothing to be found.

I have found a lot of dead systems too. I just keep going though. I made some extreme range explorers that hold 5500 supplies, and I just keep sending them farther out.

My little trove is, needless to say, going to take a few months to reach with a colony ship.

Maybe I should have explored with colony ships.

My empire is stalled. For the Last 4 turns my colonising fleet has been travelling to the only other colonisable system I found so far. But to keep my mineral stockpile from decreasing too fast I had four planetary shipyards just sitting there, not building anything. That never happened to me before in this early stage of a game I am usually rich enough to keep on building, even if its mines or such.
Oh well, at least I have some armed destroyers with me in case I run into someone else

Mine is stalled too, but only because we're waiting for Spoogy :P

I've been running negatives in radiactives and organics for a while, but my stockpiles are OK so I'll just throw up more producers some time.

Sorry for the delay. Uploading now. I still have positive production in all areas, looking forward to the next turn.
