That Yukk scout has reappeared. It has apparently parked itself on a moon of Uranus. Geo-surveying? Or just alien inscrutability?

We now have a Diplomatic Ship built... but we have no idea where to send it.

Exploring the jump point in the Fire Ant system, Resda-Vab-Rab has discovered the new system of Weevil.

Six semi-habitable bodies, none larger than a Dwarf Planet and most of them much smaller.

He will check it for minerals.

I'm trying to "rush" (har har) the techs required to equip my Infantry with STO (surface-to-orbit) weapons like powerful lasers that can damage an orbiting spacecraft.

The Dragonfly class Science Vessel BSS Io Moth has discovered the new star system of Centipede.

Four stars, six comets. No planets, no moons, no asteroids. No Yukk, either.

So any nice mineral loads on other systems, or is Wormwood I-A still the only good one?

I was going to wait until each system completed before assessing the result.

Pharaoh Ant has a few decent deposits, but Woodworm is still #1.

Finally caught up. You really pump these out.
Are there any administrative jobs open for my character to join?
Yes indeed.

We could use Branch heads for:

Logistics
Survey
Industry
Training
and later on, Operations

... or Department heads for:

Cargo
Colonization
Tankers
Tugs

Geo Survey
Grav Survey

Fuel Refineries
Gate Construction
Orbital Mining

We will also need Administrators for our colonies in other systems, an on-site administrator for our Orbital Mining site, and a Director for our Naval Academy.

There are also more than half a dozen Scientist positions available.

Being in charge of Industry sounds nice.

We have discovered the new star system of Cockroach. It has three semi-habitable planets and one semi-habitable moon... all roughly class 2.

EDIT:

We have discovered the new star system of Dust Mite. It has two class-2 worlds.

EDIT:

Krombopulos in BSS Phobos Moth has discovered the new star system of Earwig. The gas giant Earwig-II has sixteen class-2 moons.

A smorgasbord of new systems!
Bla-aat has discovered the new Star system of Cricket. It has a class-2 terrestrial planet surrounded by several class-2 moons.

Getting a bit crowded in this end of the galaxy, isn't it?

Nice little planet they've got there...
FTH_124_MoreAliens.jpg

... it'd be a shame if anything happened to it.

That's A LOT better than OUR home planet. If we had weapons, I'd be tempted to try and take it from them.
