I'm having a great old time roleplaying a Merchant race...I took this ability initially for the reduced maintenance, but figured I'd go with it and trade with everybody. So far quite succesfully. Now I know I should have taken "Natural Merchant" as well :-)

Meanwhile I keep a nervous eye out in all directions. Am building a fleet to deal with the Amon'krie, and hope my customer (allies) don't get alarmed by the rising number of ships they can see in my stats. I try to orchestrate my trades (star charts, resources, anything!) in such a way as to avoid an all out war in the northern section of the galaxy.

Dragon is trying to be Switerland during WWII. And so far, doing a good job at it.

Oh yeah, I love this roleplaying. I'm trying to meet up with the happy-happy joybots of the Irrh-nur, cause I know they're good at it too.
I like having the merchant backstory. For instance, this month (turn)I told one customer that he had been selected "customer of the month" and gave him some free star charts, just for the hell of it

I'm not sure the Irh-Nrr are so happy-happy anymore And from my guess, they're probably in first place.

I wonder if they met the Rage yet..

We have just encountered an independant machine ecology that goes by that designation.

We have broadcast Irha-Nrr system recognition handshake codes and are awaiting a response code to determine whether these machines are of common ancestry to the Irha-Nrr. We will not have a response for two months. If they are following common protocols, however, we should recieve a handshake code from them next month already.

We will keep our protected species appraised of these developments.

(OOC: time to kick my productive capacity up a notch, I think.

As I meet more races, I seem to be in an excellent position for all this trading I intend to do.

Come on people, post some info!
How is the war in the north going?
From what I see it's very amusing...the Bakulon vs. the Scron, there is but one contested system between their respective home systems, and each player has a fleet of about 10 frigates stationed on the wormholes that lead back to their home system. Looks like a cheap western where they stare each other down and everybody is waiting for the shooting to start.
I only have a small moon colonised in that system and am sort of observing, almost like a boxing referee in between the boxers in their corners

[Phoenix-D]

You mean you just bargined with me, made me pay passage to send my colonizers into a war zone? Sneaky little.. Good thing I arm my tankers.

Any bets on them being the spark?
