quick update -
I was running extremely late - 15 minutes past the deadline so I sent an email to the moderator begging for a slight delay. I then pounded out a quick order set. It did not cover everything I wanted to do, but it was better than letting a turn go by.
I loaded up the Colonizer with a fresh load of Mining equipment for the out-system colony. I held the Scouts in place (again.) I build a couple of military ships for peacekeeping duty (and gave the planetary defenses a bump). And against my earlier inclination, I chose to keep investing in technology. We shall see where things stand.
At this point, I am vulnerable if the horrid invader thingies decide to attack, but all I have seen so far is lightly armed scout craft. They might be able to scratch my colonies, but not the home world. And whatever they do, I am about to outgun them in my 2 systems.
Purely defensive, of course.
