Alright, sorry about being gone all weekend without saying anything. I thought I was going to have time to let you all know before I left, but I ran out of time.

Since no large objections have been voiced, Jager will now be an Alien. Jager, go ahead and pick out your new Alien fleet, and where you'd like to start. RC, if you can give me a rank and number in the next couple of days, I'll use those, otherwise I'm guessing for you.

I'll start this at about 12:00 am EST Thursday. I don't exactly want to start on, before, or after Christmas Day, since I'm sure we'll all have more important things to do.

I don't see two fleets for you, do you? 😉

Done. Any other Pirates wish to move? You've only got about 50 more hours before you'll have to use fuel to do it...

Heh, good luck... I control the first post. 😉

i added an outpost to the Dreden Shipyard. If you Dreden want to change it let me know, particularly if you want to change the image, which I admit is hideous. 😉 A replacement for that 30 second GC job would be most welcome.

Mac, move Kylethekender to Selica.

Also, do you need fuel to go throught The Gate?
Is Kaujathin a planet system, (can I make an outpost)?

K, I'll get around to it before we start... I assume I got his rank right, then?

While you're making those changes, you probably noticed that you skipped the 2nd and 3rd alien ranks. 😛 I see that a friendly fleet suddenly appeared in front of mine, and that's a load off one's mind. Did you pick 49th fleet just randomly or because the 49ers rock? 😄

------------------
Go Red Sox! Down with the Yankees! 😛

On second thought, move me to Perseus.

Eh, that's all your Emperor's choice, not mine, except fleet number 49 was picked by Jager. The Niners do rock though... 🙂

spl - will do when I update it.

Err, who was it that had fleet number 42? The lucky bugger, that guy is... 😉

Ok, we've started, and 13 minutes early, even. 😉 Topic is available for viewing/posting.

I've also updated the map with all developments up to this point, included added money for governments because of the turn 1 income. Next round of new money is on page 4. and you can spend what you have any time between now and then, or save it for later.

Remember that fleets engaged with enemy forces or away from home grounds can't be reinforced, however. Such fleets will show up slightly different on the map, unless your using a browser which neither draws a box around link images nor supports CSS rollovers. I think OmniWeb may be about the only one. :frown:

Anyway, this will be our first discussion thread, so post any complaints, questions, etc. here. New research can probably go here or in the topic, depending on how you want to introduce it.
