Meh, not really. Fighter pilot would be pretty cool, but wherever is needed.

We've got lots of Fighters available, and with this alien contact, it's entirely possible that they might see some action.

Lt-Commander Raaritsgodzilla is now in command of a Fighter. You have Crew Training 50, Fleet Initiative 133, Fighter bonus +20%.

Your fighter is armed with three size-4 SCRAM anti-spaceship missiles, with no reloads... you need to return to base to reload.

You are in Squadron #2 under CO Konstantin Mikhailovsky
 
(Much) Lower costs, presumably.

Also it frees up the workers to work in Financial Centers and boost our money. To Hell with that now, though.
 
If you ever need a militaristic hack you can blame for a crushing military defeat. You may besmirch my good name at your leisure.

Lt-Commander Matija is now flying a Fighter, in Squadron #1 under CO Felix Sylvestris. Fleet Init 141, Fighter +15%, Diplo +10%, ignorant, unkempt

Commander Chaos has been given command of the Astronomer class Grav Survey ship ESN Kepler, Fleet Init 107, Survey +10%, callous, patient, organized

So what name should we give these Aliens? Groombridgethirtyfourians is quite a mouthfull. Call them Goons?

After seeing their flag, I think we have reason to be worried...

Well once we establish communication with them, we'll learn their real name.

In the meantime, call them Grooms... ;)

We'll call them Grooms for now, then.

Diplomat Rockingluke is starting to get the hang of it...

Of course, there's always the possibility that when we finally do understand what they're saying, it will turn out to be "You will be assimilated!"
