In our 3-way game the Linkin fleets are steamrolling the Walden. Three worlds have fallen so far with few losses for the Linkin. Are the Walden paper tigers? Oh yeah, and AROM are no more. :)

In my co-op game with Martok the human empire seems to be on the ropes. Looks like this one will be wrapping up soon.

^I laughed yesterday when I got the popup stating the A.R.O.M. are no more.  So that was your doing I see. 

I recently declared against the Walden and watched my fleet of 2 cruisers, 3 destroyers, 1 scout, 1 infiltrator, and 2 assault ships get torn to shreds by two orbitals, 6 light missiles, and 1 scrambler.  My light carrier got out of there though.  Luckily my marines made it through and took out 4 of the missiles and the scrambler.  But the battle ended inconclusively. 

I'm reassembling another fleet to send in.  Clearly this was a good lesson for me.  I know you mentioned you need something like 6 or 8 cruisers or other heavy ships to take out heavily defended planets but I wanted to experiment for myself.  I paid the price for my arrogance and sent thousands of virtual navy and marine men to their senseless deaths.

Post deleted - we don't modify post count. The machine spirit of the forums may alter it, but I'm not worried about modify post count based on duplicate postings.

Quite possibly, at least where their fleet is concerned.  I think they still only have a Cruiser or two, and otherwise have nothing heavier than Destroyers. 

Their planetary defenses are beefier (as W8taminute just found out to his cost), although I suspect it's nothing the mighty Linkin navy can't handle.  :)

Aha, so that was you!  I was wondering about that.  Well done sir!

Yep, this one should be done shortly. 

I still want to find the last of the Qa-Qa worlds, though.  I suspect they may be in the far SW corner, where I can't reach.  I might want to talk to you about establishing another relay station on one of the formerly Human (now Klurgu) worlds down that way.

By the by, I'm off visiting family this weekend (it's our annual Labor Day picnic), and I won't be back til late Monday night.  I'm guessing this won't come as a galloping shock, given the holiday weekend here in the U.S., but still wanted to mention it to be on the safe side!

^Have fun Martok and don't worry about us.  I suspect we're all eating BBQ and ice cream as this is the last vacation weekend of the summer!

No more free human worlds remain Martok. Just have to find and finish off those pesky Qa Qa holdouts!

I saw that; marvelous news!  I've put in a request to your government for two more relay stations so that we can hunt down the Qa-Qa rabble.  8)

Hey guys, I'm waiting for our 3-Way game.  There seems to be a problem I believe as I didn't receive the last turn yet.

Now that you mention it, I've not received a turn in our 3-way game in at least a little while either. 

[Goes to check.] 

Holy cow, it looks like the last turn I received was back on August 31.  That can't be right, can it?  ???

I am away on business until Sunday but will get my turns submitted as soon as I return.

In our 3-way game I am assembling a second battle fleet that will go through a nearby wormhole to kick some Teyes butt!

The 4-way game is looking good. I am busy developing colonies and have made some good tech trades with AROM.

Gah!  In my 2-way game with Shelldrake, I cannot yet find the Qa-Qa's last colony(ies) so I can kill them off and end the game.  I'm starting to suspect they're in the far southwestern corner...which of course I can't reach.  Bloody hell! 


Thanks in no small part to the monetary gift W8taminute's Humans kindly donated, I've been able to upgrade my infrastructure to the point that I'm finally earning a (very) modest income in our 3-way game.  So long as I'm careful with my spending, I'll be able to slowly build up my fleets and (to a smaller degree) defenses, such that I should be able to keep the Walden & Florians from seeing me as being a tempting target!


In our 4-way game, things continue to progress well.  I've got infrastructure just about maxed out on at least half my worlds now, and with my having just finished researching Technology Complexes, I'll be able to upgrade my Mine Complexes to Core Mines.  Between that, and also having just researched Asteroid Mines (thanks to my dudes & dudettes at the Skunkworks!), I'll be churning out the mining income more than ever! 

It is kinda lonely, though.  Haven't met anyone else yet -- neither human nor AI player.  :(
