4 more-or-less friendly NPRs, scattered sightings of Precursors which aren't SUPER hostile, no Swarm sightings. Still developing effective CIWS. My 30-yo laser corvettes haven't seen a lick of actions. Once the CIWS is developed, I'll begin launch of my missile-fleet, and I'll storm into Kigali, a Sol-adjacent system which has a precursor presence.
Colonisation of Porto-Novo A's two ColCostx2 planets is proceeding apace, though unfortunately, the ruins on both planets (one has a TL5 ruined city that's given me some interesting tech like Salvage 1000 modules and highly-advance meson cannons) have not yielded up any alien artifacts (the commodity). Once I have at least one of them ideal, I'll colonise the two x2 planets in orbit of the B component.
Neutronium shortages on Earth are a pain, but I have plentiful sources of all other minerals, and Porto-Novo is quite rich.
I'm sad not to have found any gas giants, so Sorium will be a pain in the next 20 years.
