What's Going On In Your Empire: C# Edition

[Arwyn]

I am on yet another game after getting slagged by an annoying spoiler race that I ran into 3 jumps from Sol.

[Ektor]

I just set up a colony two jumps from my Homeworld. So far no stabilised network, so it's pretty isolated. I make a massive run every couple years with new colonists, minerals and installations. It's pretty cool. I now finally have stabilisation technology, but given this colony is already populated by about 3 million people, I'm going to use my civilian network to place colonies on three other systems, which will be my priority in stabilising.

[non sequitur]

Breathing a sigh of relief after my main fleet finished overhaul and returned to guarding the jump point to alpha cenaturi. A very hostile alien race keeps trying to make incursions into Sol and the home fleet is the only thing that stands between them and invasion.

Breathing a sigh of relief after my main fleet finished overhaul and returned to guarding the jump point to alpha cenaturi. A very hostile alien race keeps trying to make incursions into Sol and the home fleet is the only thing that stands between them and invasion.

I would make some sort of maintenance base at a waypoint at or near the jump point. Bonus points if you add recreational facilities. it sounds like you'll be defending that point for years to come.

[non sequitur]

Yeah, that's the next thing on the the to do list. I just finished building a series of monitors armed with railguns to guard the jump point as my fleet was heavily dependent on missiles and expending the ordinance was getting expensive. There are two convenient asteroids relatively near the jump point so I think I'm going to turn one of them into a resupply station.

I would get into a shoot-out, go to resupply my missiles and then end up upgrading them half-way through the rearming effort.

I couldn't really afford that. In the last three months there has been close to 200,000 tons of warship that have come through the jump point (after a pretty disastrous first contact). No time for upgrades.

Third battle for 40-Eridani

The Swedish fleet has entered the system for the third time, the first time we lost 4 survey ships, the second probe with 16 FACs, losing 12 of them, only 4 got back, damaged.
Between the first probes there have been both space and ground actions against the enemy in the Xi Boötis  system.
Calling themselves, Guiyang Commonality and they have been at war with a third race, called the Xi. The Xi having lost their colonies in Xi Boötis to Guiyang Commonality soon saw the the good fortune of having us as allies, that we apparently have taken over the good planets in Xi Boötis havnt seemed to be a problem
Now 38 months after the first confrontation, the combined fleet of Terra is ready to take the war to the enemy…

The system defence FAC group has 40 FACs in it and with the 90 torpedobombers is being used as baits for the defending fleet in 40-Eridani to hunt, the main fleet will jump into the system after 2 minuts have passed. When the first wave passes thru, their is nothing on the other side, spreadin ot and searching, 2 minutes after the first wave the fleet arriwes and 10 minuts past that the 3 carriers and their few escort jumps in. Still no enemy found... Then the fleet moves into the system system.

After moving for almost 49 hours we detects a large population on the fourth planet the having a EM strenght of almost 462 000 wich would translate to around 5 or 6 billion inhabitants, if they are like us...

Their is a swedish survey wreck above all four inner planets, not knowing what destroyed them we will pass near them if possible while we move towards the large enemy population.

(Yea, I know, my fleet is woefully slow... But not finding a enemy moving faster than almost 4300 km/s we have not felt that we need to invest in speed, atleast for fleet units, FACs and fighters usaly are faster 3-5 times as should be. We have faster engines but that would cost a lot to upgrade and increase of fuel capacity and fuel have become a expensive comodity... Thats why we still havent made a new AMM missile from the old Viggen, that seems to be slightly short ranged...  )

Mars 11 1852 20:46:05
Incoming!! Suddenly some 129 missiles slams into the fleet, no warning at all and HMS llern is targeted and is hit by 83 missiles and is blown to pieces. HMS Morastrand is hit by 13, armor boils at several places but no penetrating hits. But there is NO defensive fire at all... Computer or human error?
 
A new wave is detected 1.04 M/km after the first, 12 salvos of 6 size 4 missiles.

Mars 11 1852 20:46:15
Admiral Johan Silverstierna orders a 180 degree turn to give our weapons more time to engage the missiles, 130 missiles should not be able to hit us at all!

Mars 11 1852 20:46:30
Suddenly the autofire system kicks in on HMS Gotland, its Gauss cannon turrets starts to track and fire, seconds after the fleet start to fire hundreds of Gauss salvos, hitting many enemy missiles, joined by railgun pellets and laser bolts, only one missile penetrates that wall of fire, diving towards HMS Gotland only to be stopped by the 40mm Bofors CIWS at less than 10000 km... There is no more waves.. Only 2 attacks... The Admiral still orders the retreat to continue...

Mars 11 1852 21:08:35
22 minutes after the last wave 2 new waves are detected one of 13 groups of 6 size 4 missiles and some 20 seconds after there is a smaller group of only 4 groups...?
This is strange, either they have less missiles than we think or might it be a trap? The retreat continous...

15 January 2081 (7:39PM)

The UNSS Maarten Gerristz Vries under the command of Captain Hou Yong E discovered the star system of GJ 1002 just 5 jumps from the UN's primary extrasolar colony of Terra Nova. Initial sensor returns indicate that the first planet, a massive tidally locked terrestrial world, would be readily habitable to species outside the human norm. As per SOP following the disastrous first encounters with the Silent (apparently automated warships that defend many habitable worlds across the galaxy), Captain Yong ordered his ship to close to 800 million kilometers with actives off, then launch an active/EM probe at the planet while holding position.

20 January 2081 (9:39AM)

The Maarten Gerristz Vries reaches its standoff position and launches a single Northrup-Grumman S2E0.08A0.12R100 Probe towards the system's crown jewel.

22 January 2081 (3:45PM)

The probe detects a massive electromagnetic signature coming from the first planet of the system. The strength 425,853 contact is almost 3 times the signature of Earth herself, and far larger than the signatures of the homeworlds of any other known race. Captain Hou Yong is listed for the next round of SETI Awards.

22 January 2081 (3:47PM)

The probe detects a SECOND electromagnetic signature from the same planet, only marginally smaller at 401,215. This contact is evidently from a different polity entirely, though it beggars belief that two sentient species could have evolved simultaneously on the same planet.

22 January 2081 (4:47PM)

Hou Yong orders his vessel to come about and make for the warp point to Luhman 16. Once there, he plans to go active and turn on his transponder, inviting the system inhabitants to come out to meet him. This approach is informed by the sad fate of the first contact team for the Dewas Monarchy, which chose to enter orbit around the alien homeworld while translation was attempted. This offended the Orions, who demanded the ship leave once communications were established...then destroyed it mere minutes before it made the jump out.

.

We'll see what happens. I just blew most of my fuel and all my missiles trying to brute force a Silent outpost with 60xROF10 AMM launchers and 180 point defense shots, so I really hope these guys are friendly. 25% research speed certainly keeps things interesting, since every NPR you meet is likely to be more advanced than you. I'm still on INP engines, and all three original NPRs seem to have Ion drives. Relations are good with them at least.

EDIT:
30 March 2081 (6:24AM)
The Dukambia Combine translates UN communication protocols and establishes two-way comms. They immediately demand the Maarten Gerritsz Vries leave the system.

4 April 2081 (6:24AM)
The United Nations decipher the communications protocols of the remaining GJ 1002 society, which introduces itself as the Nicosia Imperium. They too demand the UN exit the system. Fearing a repeat of the Orion Incident, Yong orders his ship to drop a passive sensor buoy and depart. A diplomatic vessel was dispatched from Earth as soon as command learned of the new contact, but will take months to arrive.

Following the Nicosian preference, the UN Astrographics Committee dubs the system Samhradh.

EDIT 2:

8 September 2081 (12:25PM)
The sensor buoy dropped by Yong before his departure detects hundreds of energy weapon impacts and secondary explosions in orbit of the shared homeworld and a moon of an outer-system gas giant. In the first moments of battle more than two dozen ships are destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of tons of wreckage, all belonging to the Dukambia Coalition, litter the system and life pod beacons beg for help from any who are listening.

In the Luhman 16 system, no violence occurred immediately. Both powers had escort ships protecting what ONI believes to be jump point stabilizers, but the Imperium moved their vessels away from the jump point rather than engaging.

In the following seconds the one sided battle continues with countermissile detonations and continuing energy fire. It spreads across the system as more and more far flung outposts and drawn into combat. The stabilized jump point network means the United Nations receives this information in real-time, and their dubious view of government secrecy means the news networks also have access to the feed. Billions of humans across the 7 Worlds watch in horror as thousands of people die in seconds.

The slaughter is completely one-sided at first, but by 12:30 the apparently surprised Dukambians begin to strike back amidst the moons of the third planet. A series of countermissile detonations moves steadily outward, with power system detonations and Nicosian wrecks revealing the target.

A running battle amidst the moons ensues, with nuclear detonations and energy weapon strikes dancing wildly amidst the cluttered orbit. Wrecks of massive 50,000 ton battleships begin to pop up on sensors as all fighting in the rest of the system dies down.

As the conflict in Samhradh ends, missile exchanges in Luhman 16 begin. The Nicosian surprise attack was brutally effective, inflicting horrific and nearly one-sided losses on the Dukambians in the first 10 minutes of combat. In contrast, the missile exchanges in Luhman 16, despite being the first to involve large anti-ship warhead detonations, appears to have been inconclusive. At least, the sensors of the UN diplomatic vessel Flavius Josephus stops detecting weapons fire in Luhman by 12:38PM, with no wrecks visible and no conflict between the jump stabilization groups. The battle in orbit of Samhradh's third planet continues, reduced in scope from its peak. It too appears to end by 12:40PM, in an apparent (and isolated) victory for the Dukambian Coalition. The rest of the system is littered almost exclusively with Coalition life pods and wrecks, but amidst the moons the Coalition graves are joined by Imperials as well.

How do I get images to appear inline?

Superb storytelling!

Host your images on line, perhaps on your own personal web page, and then use an [img] tag containing the url of an image. You can use the width property to scale it down to fit on the page; my screenshots are 1920×1080, so I usually use width=960 to show them at half size. (Of course that means that they get scaled down even for people viewing this forum on their 4k monitors, but it's the best one can do at the moment.)

[Garfunkel]

You can use imgur.com - it's a free image hosting site and quite good for the purpose fo Aurora screenshots.

That was disappointing  

2500 fast missiles launched at the enemy fleet... 16 heavy torpedo's, old and slow... 1 torpedo gets throe... and kills a destroyer...

I lose 3 old armoured cruisers, 2 escort destroyer's, with several ships having armor damage, from carriers, battleships down to frigates this was a battle lost...

Strangely enough 2 damaged old armored cruisers manages to repair their old engines and gets home to New Livland and the colony Riga. They were to be destroyed by 48 enemy missiles, but they ran out of fuel 15 seconds from impact and no enemy ship was sent to destroy them with guns either...

[Droll]

The Terran Federation has become increasing dysfunctional, as the date of a doomsday prophecy which foretells the end of reality itself, and is known only as "One Point Nine", is imminent.

Most ignore it, considering it a conspiracy theory, like the panicked rumours of One Point Eight that circulated a few decades previously. 

But others note that many high church ministers, and even the Vicar of One Point Seven Point Three himself, have secluded themselves in prayer and contemplation.

What is this fabled 1.9 curse? This is the second mention in this thread alone

[Garfunkel]

Version number.

When Steve makes changes to the .exe file, the version number to change is the third one: 1.9.4 -> 1.9.5 for example. This does not affect ongoing games.

When Steve makes changes to the .db file, the version number to change is the second one: 1.9.5 -> 1.10.0 for example. This means that ongoing games are lost.

Porting a game is relatively straightforward, if time-consuming if you're still in Sol. Recreating jump lines is almost impossible so the more massive the game, the less chance of a player bothering to port it to a new database.

Thus it means that the campaign gets abandoned, in other words, "the prophecy of One Point Nine" means that the campaign is being played on version 1.8 and he's about to update to 1.9 and starting a new game.
