lol.. my sattilite layer crews must be scared witless by now. Every single one build has ran into a minefield and blown itself to bits..

OK, it has been a long time since our Last status update. How is everyone doing?

My own race, the Dragons, is growing exponentially, trying to maintain peace in the quadrant while I deal with the foul Amonkrie. We think we have the military might to pacify the entire norther sector if need be, so I'm curious to hear the view of the northern races on this situation. How will they intend to proceed..?

On one of our many other fronts, we are cooperating with the Irra-Nrr in their efforts to neutralise the threat of the Rage and of any other hostile species in the region.

Our merchanting efforts have been very succesful, and we just finished research on Cargo III to store the vast amounts of minerals we are generating.

The Irha-Nrr are descending as far into raving paranoia as they are capable of. Our only neighbours are the Yvelom and the Dragons, the two biggest empires in the game, and the Rage Collective, an insane perVersion of everything we hold dear. I have no idea whether the Dragons or the Yvelom are the lesser of two evils, or both, or neither, and the Dragons are refusing to give me comm channels to the "outside world" so that I could have some way of finding out for myself.

The only thing that's stopping me from just blowing _everyone_ up right now and sorting out the mess afterward is the fact that I lack the military power to do it. At the moment all I can do is focus on the Rage and hope to figure things out in time to make wise decisions if and when the balloon goes up.

I'm just huddling in my little corner, trying to figure out a way to get the @%^ Clan back in a way the Dragons won't interfere with

A few turns ago the Space Vikings made contact with another race. Being the friendly guy that I am, I proposed a treaty of trade and research right away and wrote some nice role playing text: "Greetings from the Space Vikings... (blahblahblah)". Two turns later I got the answer:"Now is not the time for alliances." I thought that was pretty rude. At least that player could have written some more personal text. So I checked out who it was, only to find out it was one of the AI races... (Duh !)

Note to myself:"The AI doesn't really care what you write in Messages..."

Well, on the bad side, Dragon just broke a treaty worth 40k credits per turn, which put me in dept 10k per turn.

The good news (?) is he blew away my fleet at the same time, so I'm not running negative.

Did I mention my entire fleet was being retrofitted at the time?
