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

Well, I'm not running much of a debt anymore either. -1 lol. I'll be broke in, oh, a couple hundred centuries

This game suddenly got a little more interesting for Phoenix-D and I. I have finally found another human player. It has me kind of on edge.

[Phoenix-D]

Yeah, it "only" took us 31 turns to make contact :P

I have not found any human players yet (as you know) but today I discovered the first aliens. It's the ligh colored greens (whatever their name is, Kyrat or such) but unfortunately they occupy the same atmosphere rocks as I do.
I have succeeded in colonizing the juicy system I mentioned a few days ago, and to stabilise my mineral production, though I fear it delayed other efforts. I had to spend 3 turns researching minerals II so I could upgrade my home planet's miners.
I would love to explore further, but am a bit paranoid. On my frontier are two nebulae, and I am afraid that if I send my small exploratory force through it, a human player will slip by me and attack my recently established colonies. Oh well, such are the challenges of SEIV

You're worried about that?

Load up the turn after I first contact you.

Look in your northern area..

notice the frigite parked there?

Also: solar panels don't work as well as I'd hoped.

What worries me is that I might lose population. That is my main concern, keeping my race alive and well. And all those ships just popped out of no where.

I suppose that I should be a tad more worried about meeting Dragonlord. That guy has quite an economic backbone.
