The elves are horrified by your mining complexes on Mars.
The elven trade fleet has left.
One-humped camel cheese shortage prevents regular maintenance of Goblinslayer 006 at Beta Omicron.
This design is classed as a Military Vessel for maintenance purposes.
It is expertly encrusted with bone and strands of giant asteroid spider silk.
It menaces with spikes of Neutronium.
Engraved on the hull are scenes of dwarves standing next to a dwarf.
Alpha Corvi 4th Destroyer Squadron is throwing a tantrum!
Losing is fun.
Now imagine mining...

Pffffft "girlfriend", you wouldn't be here if you had one. Silly virgin, do you know where you are?

Marksi, I happen to be married. Oh, never mind. Slightly different from girlfriend.

Black Hole Accelerator MK IX - Test Firing Round 2
The multi-Billion tons of ships have painstakingly mined and moved entire star systems (and their stars). A continuous accelerator ring through multiple jump points shows a particle accelerator cannon spanning Multiple Systems in length, the product of sheer coincidence, a "you must be crazy!" design and half of book worth of mathematical calculations.
At the 'business' end is a single jumpship about to prod the Invader wormhole and let loose the unstoppable menace. Or so it has been said to be unstoppable. Many an unwary player has been swallowed whole by the massive horde.
The ship moves a little closer, each 1 hour increment taking 30minutes to process.
It reaches the wormhole and in a terrible silence, the Invader horde appears as a single red dot... and a stack of contacts too high to be read.
The Black Hole Accelerator coughs. Once.
And the dot disappears. So does the nearby star and most of the business end of the Accelerator itself. Only too late was it realized that being an observation ship was not going to be healthy, but eh, friendly fire is an unheard of term.
So is, apparently, overkill.
EDIT:
A few hours IG time later, the player enters the star system with a scout ship. It seems to be mostly harmless. Except for... another red dot.
Ah, crap.

Girlfriend here... She learned early on that whenever I start playing "Excel in Space," she is more than welcome to fulfill whatever internet whims she happens to have at the time on her laptop. It works out pretty well :)
The rest of this topic makes me laugh...and somewhat fearful of this alternate reality.

But what happens when you dig... too deep?

The spoilers show up. You abandon the game shortly thereafter, as the framerate/turn delay becomes completely intolerable.
-
But what happens when you dig... too deep?
That was what I meant with the ship poking the wormhole. Spoilers come out. Lots of them.
The system length PAC is the analogy to the DF magma cannon. Ridiculously huge and impractical megaconstruction.
Don't stand in front of it.
-
But what happens when you dig... too deep?
My initial reaction skipped right past DF and ended up in the Mines of Moria. I am okay with this, however.

The railgun slug strikes the command module trough the armor, piercing the left upper navigation console and breaking the Capt. Urist left false rib.
The railgun slug has firmly logged in the armor!
-
I support this idea. It will allow me to grow and harvest swarm derelicts and eggs.
-
Aye, but it has to be dorfy enough to let you toss over-officious officers out the airlocks! (Or strap them to the business-end of the antimatter engines, or use them as railgun ammo, etc, etc)

Drop them on Venus?
