Morning Greldon.
You might want to check out the Centurion's thread. Alex is hinting that "Greldon needs to be Greldonized" to give someone else a chance 
Better watch your back, and if you see one of those "Greldonizer" thingies.... Duck!

The Yor ship stopped alongside the derelict freighter. A small boarding party entered the freighter and began their search. It was not long before they came upon a living being.
"Fleshling, we are the Yor collective, these worlds belong to us."
The answer came quickly. "What is this 'fleshling' stuff? I am a cat...C...A...T...cat. Now, unless you have something for me to eat, I need to get going."
Deeper in the ship a small group is arguing. "But listen to me Rimmer. There is someone on board this ship. Just check with Holly."
"I don't care what you say, Lister, I am in charge. Kryten, find out what is going on."
"Mr Rimmer...."
"Yes, Holly, what is it?"
"My sensors indicate the boarding party is actually related to Kryten. Seems like as the millions of years passed us by, Kryten was quite busy....."
Can this be?

Cat made his way on to the Yor ship. "Hey, what's with this place? No mirrors anywhere. This is the style equivalent of the Marie Celeste, deader than flares."
He moved towards the cargo hold, and discovered the sedated Torian prisoner. "Now this is more like it." Glancing over his shoulder pads to either side, Cat then began the hunting chant..."I'm going to get you little fishy, I'm going to get you little fishy."
A short while later, inhuman screams echoed through the hulls of both ships as bazookoid fire ripped through the Yor boarding party. "What a total bunch of smeg-heads." commented Lister as he returned his bazookoid to the rack.

"Really Mr. Lister, sir, there is no possible way that those things could be related to me in any way. For a start, they had funny shaped heads, they had no sense of humour whatsoever, and they were so dumb they made even Mr. Rimmer's continued existence seem worthwhile."
"Yeah Kryten, whatever. Where is goal-post head anyway?"
"I believe he's hiding under his bed again sir."

Very nice stories Tel, Magnumaniac. And good morning Greldon.

Apologies to anyone who is somewhat confused (but Terl started it ) by the humour, as I don't believe this particular show was broadcast widely in the US.
For those who haven't got a clue what we're talking about - the characters and references come from the BBC sitcom 'Red Dwarf' about a completely dysfunctional group stranded in deep space.

Good afternoon everybody!!

|
| at all levels you can park a TS right next to an AI planet for months on end without them ever asking your purpose |
|
That is hilarious. I thought my goose was cooked. Good information, I assumed I only got away with the TS sitting in their systems do to my playing level. I was in such panic to increase my range I did not notice if it corrected itself and was just a glitch. That was one of my funnest games yet, did the no military build tell the very end, then finished off everybody in one giant Alpha strike. Love this game.

Hi everyone!
As we already established, our thread has by far the most activity. I was wondering just how much of the activity on the other empires threads we account for!

Morning/afternoon, all! Got a question for those with more experience: if I build a TerrorStar, a) can I still add on other SB modules, and if so b) will Stellar Wake and Inverse Tractor Beam positively effect its speed (and similarly, Repair Bay for repairs, and so on)?

A pretty fair amount, I'd guess.

Our motto should be "Miss a day, miss alot". You have to visit a couple times a day just to keep your reading to managable amount. DaMoose appreciates it greatly.

Yes
| b) will Stellar Wake and Inverse Tractor Beam positively effect its speed |
|
I don't think so
| |
|
Hmmm,
rbloom just gained back about 10K on me and put himself back into the top 200 (which I didn't make yet)! But he didn't submit a game since march 19. What gives? Does anyone understand the scoring of the meta?

I think the only bigger mystery is the universe, actaully.

I'll say. 2 posts just while I was typing the last one

Really? I've never heard of that before.
| |
|
Anyone actualy max out TS and used it against ships in open space. How would it do? I have just used in Alpha strike. Minimum 5 constructors, boom and decommision.
| |
|
I don't think it can attack ships.
