Our two Salvagers have been launched. We are only waiting for the first of the Point Defense ships to finish their fleet training, and ten we can mount a wreck recovery operation in the Tau Ceti system, covered by the bulk of the battle fleet.
YES!
Action! A chance to prove the worth of the fleet...and give everyone some much needed 'this is real' alert time...even if there is most likely no threat...knowing how to deploy the fleet, and getting into a good operational flow in something that is not a training exercise will be good, I think.
300 fighter combat bonus sounds like a lot, what does it do?
How ''Gaia`s Thunderbolts'' sounds?
Edit: Also requesting participation in upcoming battle against Precursor scum.
Actually I'd like a colony named "Gaiuscia" in honour of our first interstallar casualty.
I kinda like Eridu and I think before we start naming colonies after people who die in battle we should wait for someone a tad more important to perish. Lets wait till at least our first battle group makes contact with enemy and maybe we get lucky and Edzako or some Vice Admiral dies horribly in fires of nuclear explosions.
I suggest Eridania, mythical town on the Po river, but being born there I'm not neutral I guess
I too like Eridu. Also why not have one of the future classes designated the "Hero Class" and then name the ships of the class after the captains of our ships lost to enemy fire. Or if we haven't had enough captains immolated by nuclear hell-fire we can always name some after mythological heroes.
It applies only to Gun-armed Fighters, which are really not practical until the top-end tech levels.
This game runs inside Access (a database program), so I can't use special characters like the apostrophe ' in names. How about Gaian Thunderbolts?
I actually like gun fighter design (pew pew) and by that I mean the coolness factor not the actual effectiveness. Lets hope I`ll live that long.
Let us be Gaian Thunderbolts then.
The last of our sixteen Orbital Terraforming Stations has been transferred by Tug to Ganymede, and set to work flooding that moon's atmosphere with biologically inert greenhouse gasses. Hopefully, this will reduce the volume of the complaints that I've been receiving... "My feet are cold!", "My cat froze to the ground!"... from that colony.
We now have one full Division (16 Battalions) of Assault Infantry, and when the current build finishes we will have two full Divisions (32 Battalions) of Mobile Infantry. We also have 13 Brigades of Engineers... unlike the Battalion-sized combat units, the Engineer units are Brigade-sized. We still lack HQ units and Heavy Armor, because we lack the techs for those units.
Our first two Star class Armored Cruisers have been launched.

We currently have twenty new warships undergoing training, and nine more on the ways with at least six more planned.
Very nice. Does this include headquarter units?
Do we have any troop transports capable of dropping division-sized ground forces onto a planet?
(Think not, but no rush, still no NPC nations on the horizon ..)
How are things progressing on the salvage front?

We have no HQ units or Heavy Armor, and no techs for them yet. We have only two Troop Transport ships (capacity 10 Battalions each) and no drop-ships. Our Salvagers are ready, and are just waiting for us to come up with a balanced fleet to escort them. Once the first group of PD escorts has finished training, we are good to go.
