	Turn 24 - Turn 50 Got spare money?

Inaugural Address of the New President:All previous problems can be blamed on my predecessor, and I will take the empire
in a new direction, not backwards,Up,down,to the right,to the left, but forwards
towards progress. By the end of my first turn I plan to have a colony on another world,
as a symbol of half-naked shape shifter ingenuity.

Turn 24:
Research lab was purchased for 240 billion credits.

Upper class tax cut given(taxes now at 0% of industry).

Turn 25:
Research lab finished.

colony base started with 1 person building it.

The rest are researching new exciting technologies!

Turn 28:
Astro biology Researched!

We can now build:
1)Biospheres to cram more sardines... er people onto planets.
2)Hydroponics farms to feed people(but at what cost to the farmers put out of business by these technologies?)

Switched construction from Colonybase to hydroponics farm, and work force reassigned.

Advanced construction selected for research.

Turn 29:
100 billion credits spent on modern hydroponics farm.

Turn 30:
Farm finished.

Turn 31:
Advanced Engineering finished!

we now possess knowledge to:
1)shoot down missiles(whatever those are, crazy scientists)
2)build extremely strong hulls for what must be magical ships our engineers keep talking about.
3)Build fighter bays, that can... sit there on the ground, why weren't runways enough again?

Something called advanced construction is what our scientists have started looking into.

Turn 36:
Advanced construction has finally been researched!

Our engineers assure us that we may now:
1)Build entirely automated factories.
2)put a heavy armor over the reinforced hull for whatever the hell it is that those kooks are planning to build later.
3)Build missile bases to protect us from anyone that might be out there, I firmly believe

that the rest of the universe is uninhabitted,and that these fears are unfounded.

Construction of an automated factory will begin immediately.

Research into nuclear Fission now looks promising, I only hope we can name this something
creative like Prometheus to get it by congress and the EPA.

Turn 37:
Autofactory purchased.

Turn 38:
Autofactory finished, our citizens will be put to work researching once again.

Turn 40:
Now those crazies are playing with Nuclear fission.
We now possess:
1)Nuclear engines
2)Freighters
3)Nuclear bombs

Our scientists will now be directed towards chemistry, however now we will start our
climb to Darlenia 1!

Turn 41:
Administrator Galis has been hired for 30 billion credits, he costs 1 billion to maintain
and generates 1 billion per turn, this will of course grow.
Ruula has offered his services.

Turn 42:
All hail the Darlenia Empire!
As of 2:40 Am this morning the very first space craft was launched into orbit, joining it
were 4 other freighters. These ships will allieviate the distribution of food problem that our people have faced since the beginning of time.

Next stop, Darlenia 1!

Turn 50:
Reports are coming back from Darlenia 1 where the first half-naked shape shifter has set
foot on the world. Quick to follow her were thousands of colonists, and a new world has been
established!


A Governor shall have to be selected for the new world, Or I could assume responsibility for it for the time being, and also I await further instructions. Have I been too free with funds, what general course shall the empire take for the next 25 turns?

Rename save9.gam.sav save8.gam of course.

A clever and enjoyable report MR President. Do we have an unarmed scout in the works or did I miss that footnote?
Be fore warned that the new world will be slow at housing, until it gets an AF and Cloner (check with your researchers on that).
You have my proxy to use as you deem appropriate.

Not yet, chemistry has not yet been finished, and I favor an armed scout to strike fear into all those who oppose us!(and to get kickbacks from the Military-Industrial complex)

Also commander Ruula is waiting, he gives 5% bonus to ship to hit probability, shall we hire him?

	Increase Your PM Length

I wouldn't hire him, we won't use beam weaponry for some time, +5 is nothing (we are creative after all, so we get positronic computer/+75), and we might need the money for a better leader or improvements.
Also, by the time we do launch our first beam ships there might be a better leader available. I think I never hired Ruola in any game I played.

The military leader that we need to hire should be a Navigator. We can use ones with Operations or Commando too ...

Ok here is what I need instructions for:
Which techs should we go after

Give designs of scouts since we will soon be able to produce one if we research chemistry next.

which direction to expand if we produce a colony ship during the next term.

what build order/rushing shall be done with our new colony. I myself forsee it as a pop farm for the rest of the system in about 30 turns or so.

	Put an end to popups!

You make an unarmed scout at the start as you have no need to fight for some time. I you do, the scout will be of no real use.
After it has gone to all the systems it can reach, it can come back and you will have battle pods and such to refit it with a nuke, so it can be of some value. You still do not need a comp on it as it will never use beams. It is cheaper to built it unarmed at the start.
This is just a nit.

No need to hire an officer at this time, as it will be awhile before we engage in combat. I like leaders that give fighter bonus, movement bonus, or commando (if not a tele).

Research cloners, scanners and supercomps. You can make an OP for near by planets to get more range to find a better system.
When you get more production (from more pop and AF) you can drop a colony ship on any nearby planets.

We will need to get robos to offset are mediocre production values. Super comps will make getting there faster.

hmm, Ok so everyone chime in on this research order

chemistry > cold fusion > cloning/Soil enrichment > battle pods > space port > robo miner

and wait till robo miner to build a colony ship?

If you do not know the map, you should do the learn to fly techs first:
Std Fuel - Colony Ship

Then Cloner/Soil

Then either robo or super comp path.

I prefer Scanner then SuperComp as this will boost research.
Then I do Pods - Ports - Robo.

Now we have the tech to boost those less than stellar planets.
I now look to CHEM to get those (fuel/Pollution/fuel).
I am not in a huge hurry to get the cells as I do not really want to meet anyone yet and I am not in much shape to try to colonize any planets past my std range. This will hasten my contacts. Yes, I know I could run across a super good system or an artifact world and so on. Most likely they will be there when I am ready anyway.
Now I can start colonizing and boost (buy) items for those new planets. Soon I can get a combat ship out if it is needed.

Really the only thing I would hope to find early is a stranded leader and money.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

If we want battleships, we should research chem > advanced mangnetism > neural scanner > super comp > cloning > battle pods > space port > robo miner > colonyship.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

...Or whatever you all want, I only want two first is chemistry and mangnetism.
Darleina I isnīt quite good place for a colony, I think we should first make a scout, travel arond universum and find a suitable planet for a colony.

we'll decide what warships to build when we meet another race, i think they will have to be destroyers though, unless we get poll procs & robos by then.

We are so far away from being able to make a BB, it is not funny.
Level 1 Chem is all we need in that line for some time. That is standard cells, needed to make a scout.
Level 2 cells can wait. If you use F9 to look around you will see that the D. cells will get you nothing. You will need OP or Irr Cells.
Level 3 Chem is useful. but not a useful as Robo's and Super Comp at this time.
After we get Robo/Comps, we can research Chem in nothing flat.

Ok, so at about 5:00 today i'll start turns 51-75. I'll check back here for more info and see if a concensus has been reached on tech path.

Chem1 is nailed down though as the next tech that will be researched, and an unarmed scout seems to be the plan.

Ok, I'll get started now, heres the plan:
Research chemistry, build a scout, research cloning, research to robo miners, research colonyships, research to super computer.

I'd research supercomputers before robo-miners because it costs about the same amount of RPs, but with supercomputers you'll get a lot faster to robo-miners. I think we'll have more researchers than workers until we have researched at least both, so supercomputers will be more effective.
