What do you mean by this?
I am attempting to upload my turn for the third time. It keeps saying 'Waiting...'.
I have checked internet connectivity and the like and it is all good. Sent a note to Vern to see what else I can do.
Anyway, while I try to figure that mess out, here's an update.
The Elder continue to consolidate the fleet, but not before getting proper surveys of all of the home system planets. That is what I am doing with the currently reduced fleet. Fleet is down to about 60% from a turn ago. Heading to 20% soon.
Now, while the # of ships is declining, the size of ships is increasing. This is to help bulk up capabilities to shuttle people and gear to new colonies. I bulked up two ships this turn. Added ship capacity to hold on to two colony efforts - one to expand the alien colony in the home system, and the other to colonize the home system HAB10 world. I am probably doing it wrong since I know there are things like cargo holds which I have not read up on, so I am fdoing it old school. This is my big adventure for this turn - bigger ships and colony prep.
I expended for two new technologies this turn. Power Plant 2 and MIN 4. This marks a minor achievement since part of my research was developed in my OBC.
I drafted all remaining USK to be TRN this turn since I have HUGE amounts of AUT-3 now. Woot. Grow the PRO forces! I also must have goofed last turn - I have no MRB FCT groups. NExt turn I will have some in 1/4 production. This will also help PRO production - although I noticed MRB cannot replace SLD in *ALL* cases. Tread carefully!
I have also started reducing my early tech gear. This is but the first wave of this I am sure, but it is necessary and I can sure use the raw materials. I am using up raw materials, already, at a breathtaking pace. I drastically need to expand my mining capabilities and soon. I am disassembling my FCT-1 from each group as each prod run winds down, to free up space for the new high tech factories. I know Darth says I can do it one other way, but that affects my sensibilities and seems less orderly. LOL.
More soon!
