I think it's obvious what you should do with it; make it bigger!  ;D

I had a game that went almost 100 years where I wound up building a massive 4m+ ton shipyard. Used it to construct a couple enormous freighters and colony ships. Creating new colonies was never so easy as after that, it was awesome.

Oh, but for the record you don't need a shipyard for orbital habitats, they get built directly by industry.

I've reached a decision, it's time to build a dahak class destroyer carrier. FEAR MY SWARMS OF 9K ton DESTROYERS YE FEEBLE XENOS!  now to create the achuultani

I came across an NPR that apparently hasn't developed jump engines. Instead, it expands by building jump gates on all its system jump points. I'm glad they're not hostile- I think they'll reach Sol in a few years. Either way, I plan to have a massive FAC Carrier waiting.

The wisdom of this tactic (or lack thereof) has just become apparent as things have slowed down to a crawl. Curious, I checked the combat log in SM mode- they now appear to be fighting the Star Swarm in multiple systems simultaneously. At 30 seconds to process a 5-second interval, and no sign of anything relenting, I think this game may be unsalvagable.

Have you tried clicking Auto-Turns on? And reading a book while waiting for your PC to crunch the numbers?

Perhaps I can find a replacement battalion to stick her in and use for parades.

East-Asian Federation in my game has only five Civilian Administrators - all female and aged between 21 and 26.

14th May, 2036.
Despite longstanding attempts to communicate with the Alien species discovered in Proxima Centauri, little to no headway has been made. The situation came to a head several hours ago. The Geosurvey craft Discovery 001, concerned its orbit around Proxima Centauri-A I was the cause of some antagonization, decided to withdraw back to the Sol Jump Point.

Without warning, it was fired upon with anti-ship missiles, and destroyed. 33 survivors made it to life pods, but there are no ships within the 14 hour life support limit capable of surviving enemy fire to make the rescue.

Given the proximity to Sol, the Terran Federation has already been planning for this contingency for years- in fact, the preparations for an invasion have been underway for some time now, and the ships are already being built. Immediately upon news of the destruction of the Discovery, six Valliant class troop transports were dispatched to the ruins on Mars to pick up four heavy assault battalions and two battalions of mobile infantry. Once they have picked up their contingent, they will join the six Apache class Missile Boats that are en-route to a stationary orbit around the Proxima Centauri jump point, where the JCS Majestic is 35 days away from completing a one-way jump gate to the system.

They have but a short time to wait until two more Valliant class troop transports and three more Apache missile boats are launched, along with two Fletcher class Destroyer escourts for anti-missile and targetting support. The high command on Earth is debating whether to proceed as soon as the ships are launched, or wait until two more Fletchers, and additional Apaches, can be built. The Terran Federation is in debt, but the invasion will determine the future of humanity. They have a little over a year to decide their course of action.

Meanwhile, production is pulled from factories and research labs, and pumped into new Financial Centers, along with extensive advertising for a global war bonds campaign. "Save the solar system, buy war bonds!"

Do they all have political bonuses?  Clearly someone up there really likes... *blam*

Move along, nothing to see.  We welcome our loli masters.

Shouldn't that be "mistresses"?

Yes, that is right.  The agent responsible for it has already been replaced.

I've encountered four alien races and have managed thru clever diplomacy to become allies with all four. The problem is that they they all seem to be at war with each other, and have mutually decided that Sol System is a good place to fight. While I cant deny I'm securing intell and tech from this, it is kinda annoying that i have litter all over the system. My salvage crews are demanding less hours and more pay, and the aliens arent paying attention to "HINTS" that they should leave the system....

"Hint" harder. Try a nuclear tipped hint.

Only after seeing combat did I realize I forgot to add armor to my ships. Oops.

I stuck her in a replacement battalion.  When I got a few more officers, guess who got promoted? 

And no, she's still nothing but a showpiece.  In fact, out of all the rank 2s, only 1 has a high promo score than she does.  And that only because he has xenology on top of a 30% political bonus.  (but xeno is useful, I don't mind xeno)

The humans and I completely wiped out each other's fleets. They have about 3 combat ships left and I have maybe 4 or so.

Can you imagine the panic in their respective Fleet HQs in a situation like that?

An enemy ship destroyed one of my gunboats, then crashed into the wreckage and demolished itself- somehow my ship managed a 164 point ramming attack.
