I've hit a nice sweet spot in setting up my shipyard capabilities; I can pump out useful frigate designs in a single turn. I may experiment more extensively with smaller ship designs this time around.

Two contacts myself.. I seem to be boxed in even MORE this time.

I'm really glad I'm not playing the Certadsh. They'd go nuts at the dealing I'm going to have to do.

I have one contact so far with an AI I have never been up against before. They declared war on me already.
Hmm, I guess they don't like the "Viking way of life"

.

This game is fun...

Ouch. the two contacts that Phoenix mentioned are the same two races that I discovered. Something seems to have gone wrong with the equal distribution of starting positions. We now have 4 of the 7 human races boxed into a sector that is altogether maybe 15% of the galaxy.
If this turns to war, (and two races are close to war already) then it could be that the other three humans have free reign over the rest of the galaxy (after killing off the AI). It remains to be seen whether one or more (of the 4 up north) human races will come out of our corner with sufficient strength to take on the other three races who will have quietly grown big.

My own position: I have soom room to expand eastwards, but two of the other northern races have to go through me or the Scrons to reach the rest of the galaxy...they're boxed into a corner. And I expect to find another race to my east soon.

Will keep y'all posted on developments.

Hmm, posting seems to be dropping off.
Doesn't anybody have anything to report?

Come on, share your adventures and insights with the world

The shooting hasn't started yet, and their isn't much I can say without giving away my plans

Sorry, it's been kind of a busy day. I'll do my turn now and then post some news.
