Exciting things indeed!

Steve, I thought it's impossible to move shipping lines from one country to another? How are you going to model that in the Commonwealth unification?

Interesting question. I'm assuming either a database hack or, more likely, a new SM option?

I was going to use a database hack :) but I probably should build in the transfer code and make it available to everyone.

Steve, did you intend to give the Kennedy class carrier zero flight crew berths?

I am also interested in what's going to happen with the new aliens.  I was just wondering how there had been only one new NPR spawned in over 250 new systems.

Fixed the Kennedy :)

I didn't turn on high tech NPRs until quite recently.

Looks like the US and the commonwealth have managed to secure a decisive advantage in pop terms over everyone else, but how valuable is that considering the UN pop available to all? How is everyone doing on colonyship construction, and mercassium?

This is one of my favorite campaigns of yours Steve. I hope it continues for quite awhile.

I wonder how closely the Commonwealth will integrate, it's be fun if there was still some leftover tensions between the various parts, issues with different missile size, etc etc.

Also, are the rest of the world aware of the US invasion of the aliens?

I think Acidweb's instal package uses the alternate flags, but included the origonals in a zip.

I wonder what Brazil with their boarding party focus thought when the Caliphate launched a million ton immobile ship. My guess it involved dollar signs appearing in their eyes while little Ching Ching! sounds played.

I wonder if the Caliphate are going to be this game's China and constantly get hosed :p

Edit: Though actually now that I look at it it's surprisingly cheap, I guess due to the new structural shell option. Still a tempting target.

Great update. I have one question though.
Can there even theoretically be an alien empire on par technologically to any human empires or are any possible aliens only a cannon fodder in a humanities showdown?

This campaign is inspired by an old RPG called 2300AD. In that game, humanity was split into many factions and ran into a powerful alien empire. Eventually they had to unite to defeat it. About three years ago (game time) I added an alien empire that is just as powerful as any current human Empire and is already in one human system, although neither side knows. However, that is not intended to be the main bad guy.

Within the next year or two of game time I will be adding a very powerful alien race. I haven't decided on the theme yet but I am leaning towards a few fictional empires for inspiration :)

1) Galactic Empire from Star Wars
2) Imperium from WH40k, although with aliens not humans.
3) Kafers from 2300AD
4) Cylons
5) Dilgar from Bablyon 5

etc.

Any other suggestions welcome. I'm not looking to build exact copies but use them as inspiration for a large, very powerful enemy.
