Sounds like the non-shiny parts of our business are going well :)

And with the big-boom-boys in the shipyards, the shiny business will go well soon, too!
 
Our first three Animal III class Escort Cruisers (armed with that nasty 37-boom spinal Laser) have finished their refit. The delay allowed us to include the latest engine tech in the upgrade... now up to 9,600 kps!

Two three-barreled Gauss PD turrets, plus that spinal mount. Eight layers of armor, and 9600 kps speed. Looks pretty decent.

Now what do we shoot?
 
I was going to assemble a small fleet... about half a dozen each of escorts and capital ships... and then return to our anti-Jerx campaign.

We have explored enough of the map that ALL of the types of hazards should now be active.
 
We have launched the first three 30,000-ton Battlecruisers, the ESN Agincourt, the ESN Trafalgar, and the ESN Waterloo.

Sorry for the slowness... the store just down the road finally restocked with Steam cards (after six months with none) and I've picked up Victoria 3 and the Steam version of Dwarf Fortress.

Somehow I wasn't getting updates on this and there are 12 new pages.
 
I've actually played ahead a ways, but there was nothing specific to report.

We've started refits to bring some of our old ships up to modern capabilities. 9000 kps speed battle-management vessels are currently under construction. Meanwhile, we are still struggling to keep the mineral supplies flowing in to the factories.
 
Mmmm... I'm getting absorbed by the new Steam version of Dwarf Fortress.

I think I might put this AAR on the back burner for a while... we've done more than 50 years of game time, which is a lot further than most Aurora AARs get.

I will be immersed in Dwarf fortress and its bearded drunken maniacs.

This is one of several reasons I usually do trans-Newtonian starts with a lot of starting NPRs. Conventional starts are fun for roleplay but really demand a lot of commitment to get to the exciting late-game stuff.
