Haven't started the game yet, but I'll seed the Daleks into a random system and pop an NPR onto earth, all spoilers are on, Swarm will be cybermen due to their assimilation practices, precursor installations will be hidden automated Time Lord weapon systems seeded through the galaxy at different time points during the time war designed to fight the daleks, the invaders will represent the supreme dalek's armada which was at the last minute thwarted from destroying Gallifrey by the doctor, the whole fleet is trapped in some kind of bubble which occasionally weakens enough to let small detachments out, their goal is of course destruction of the Time Lords and conquest of the galaxy, however they have another goal which is to destroy us.
Who are we?
We are the forgotten, those left behind.
While the time war ravaged across the galaxy the supreme dalek decided that only purity would give strength to the daleks, all existing daleks were purged and replaced with new models (the brand new coloured I-Pod daleks from the last season), however some escaped this persecution and remained isolated when the war finally took the supreme dalek and all his followers away.
Alone for countless centuries with only their virtually inexhaustable technobabbletonium power supply and their endless rage they waited, and slowly lost whatever was left of their sanity. Voices called out to them, the collective screams and anguish of all they have murdered, and all they wanted to murder. One voice stood out among the darkness, it was the Doctor, it roused the galaxys black daleks, the doctor was alive? EXTERMINATE! His voice was heard through a crack in time, he is still alive, but where? When? After awakening another voice could be finally be heard, one that they realised had been calling out to them through the whole war unnoticed, a voice that was always there, deep inside the cold core of every dalek there was a single thread left joining them to him. The maker is here. He will help us. Help us grow strong so that we may destroy those who threatened us. He will show us Earth. He will give the doctor to us. EXTERMINATE!!. The doctor must die, Davros must give us the doctor! All daleks come to davros so that we may EXTERMINATE all those who made us feel pain. Death shall rain from the skies across the galaxy and the dalek race will be supreme.

". . .  We know nothing about them, their language, their history or what they look like.  But we can assume this.  They stand for everything we don't stand for.  Also they told me you guys look like dorks. "

Started a new game after upgrading to 6.43. After years mapping the various jump points, the Polyarchy launched Pythia-class scout ships through each of the five JP's. So far, two alien races have been encountered in the Gliese 109 and the Struve 2398 systems. While the former's inhabitants are happy to merely observe and follow the survey ship Delphi, the Struve natives have destroyed the survey ship Dodona. Time to build some bigger ships methinks, since the six Nereids in operation only mass 1900 tons, and the aliens are using up to 25000t!

My newest game I decided to go heavy on the Role Playing. Conventional 2030 start.

The Divine Empire of Valos rules Earth. What was once a small cult, dedicated to the idea that the one who discovered "Trans-newtonian" is in fact a divine being. Seizing more and more control as chaos reigned in the disasters and calamities that followed, by 2030 the Order was in almost total control of the still-inhabitable parts of the planet.

Believing that the catastrophes they have suffered were in fact a challenge from the Divine, the Order believed Earth to be cleansed. Humanity was purified and ready for it's Solar ascension.  To this end, they sought to utilise the elements revealed to them. They would send Humanity onward, until the Empire of Valos held stars uncountable within it's divine (but firm) grasp

Overrunned by an 1000% difficulty NPR, 30 cruisers and 4 battleships against hundreds of cruisers and battleships, no chance.

I have returned from my 3-month semi-haitus, and look forward to many exciting weekends blowing things up in the depths of space.
My Theodidactus, now I see that you are excessively simple of mind and more gullible than most. The Crystal Sphere you seek cannot be found in nature, look about you...wander the whole cosmos, and you will find nothing but the clear sweet breezes of the great ethereal ocean enclosed not by any bound

Ehh just started playing 1000% difficulty with no starting NPR but 90% gen. Second jump point and I ran into some bugs, 1 X 200,000ton and 4 X 60,000ton -.- and something like 200 little ones. After couple hours all big ones are destroyed (with missiles) and most of the little ones. Was nice fight though a bit lopsided, I mean I sent 300, 600 and 1200 salvoes at those big ones (from fighters) 200,000 ton monster took something like 2000 missile hits or something (9WH)

After evacuating the Solar System to prevent death-from-Sol-going-Giant for humanity, the remaining 400 million humans have settled in a system that has about 50 million of each resource.  Jackpot.

Plus, our more recent promise graduate from Phoenix Officer School is called. . .  Peter Griffin.

You should be able to make these even a SLIGHT bit smaller if you change the deployment time to 0. 033 (roughly 1 day) down from 0. 1

Maybe but I want to keep them at 250 tons so it would need something else then :P It's an old model anyways though I do have 0.1 in the new ones too

I don't understand how this is supposed to work since the fighter appears to be using the Crew Quarters - Tiny already (0. 464t /  0. 0278HS for one crew @ 3 days deployment; apparently it lets you shove 10 crew in due to rounding).  How are you getting rid of that 0. 1 HS?

My new game I surveyed more than 50 systems not discovering a single alien.
I was getting frustrated with my lovingly crafted ships never having fired a shot in anger.
But now, I finally found an enemy.
They are technologically far superior and spread across
multiple systems. I have not discovered their home world yet but it will get "fun"
when I do.

By the way, is it just me or is the fuel production grossly inadequate.
My fleet eats several years worth of fuel on a single mission.
I´ll build more harvesters but still.

By the way, is it just me or is the fuel production grossly inadequate.
My fleet eats several years worth of fuel on a single mission.
I´ll build more harvesters but still.

Yep, had the exact same thing happen to me. My fleet was grounded for aalmost ten years, but now I have an annual 40 million litres worth of fuel harvesters in orbit around Jupiter... Unfortunately, by now I have run out of several minerals, so the next crisis is at hand... Same as you, I haven't met a single alien race yet, at currently 32 explored systems... :/
