Ramblings of an Argon Nephew (Page 14 of 35)

Written by TTD

RIP

To two gallant Teladi traders who assisted me in Advance Satelite deployment. Unfortunately The Discoverer they were using got blown out of space by a Kha'ak Fighter in Dark Waters.

Next of kin have been informed that no trace of there bodies were ever found.

Meanwhile I have set up another Discoverer to continue in their path.

Oi have bin a bit busy just mappin' the southern regions an' doin' a few build missions. Tried to visit the old Duke,since all 'is ships are blue on the scanner. His station was red so Oi 'ung around a little and picked up zom missiles that 'ad been left layin' around.

Really! Zom poor feller ought to set up a waste collection depot an' go collect all these crates just a left 'angin' in space.

Oi miss them Teladi guys,They did a good job for me....still these new recruits aren't that bad.They aren't too far he'ind me noo.

Oi got as var as the unknown sector,beneath Menalaus' Oasis.Now there's a name that that just rolls off your toungue Exclamation

So Oi thought I'd just let you volks back home know Oi'm still alive an preparing moi empire build. Oi managed to get a 2nd 'and Dragon for a little over 1 mill. Bin doin' it up loik.Begiining to look loik a real M6 again.

Arh, talkin' ov M6s Oi 'ad te send moi Hydra up to that virst station complex Oi built. Zeems some pirates wanted to disrupt production.So me Hydra is on constant protect station alert noo. Think Oi moight do that with te Dragon an' moi other complex too. Yep Oi did jus' that.

Now oi've explored sw.central southern Paranidia, se Split an Boron areas. And 'ave worked my way up and round to Gaian Star, doing build missions along the way.

I am now in dangerous territory. Loads of red pirate flags everywhere.Kha'ak pop out for a pastime and oi 'ave just had a catastrophic rear-end engagement with a Xenon Q. So back to my last port of call,(read reload) at the shipyard in Grand Exchange.

Now my problem is how to get out of 'ere alive Question

---

While doing this part of exploration I discovered a neat little trick....

---

Well Oi be! 'avin mapped out The west and south and southeast, and come back through pirate alley, doin' all sort ov build missions along the way,loik,I have just found meself vriendz wif te Yaki. They even let me buy any ship Oi be a wantin'.

Thar zeems to be somtin' wrong with their sales computer,though. Oi''ad te be in another setor to buy the Chokaro. Rant Woi can't they repair it? Oi go all te ways to te station an he tells me oi can't buy it while Oi'm 'ere. Betcha he'd av no trouble iv 'ee wanted one (This may have been fixed in later versions-not checked lately as of 31-5-10)

Nice looking station though!

Oi sent the Chok to my usual place.

Still got the north eastern frontiers to map and Oi saw the Terran station in Heretics end.Boy they know 'ow te build 'em. dun' em'?

But Oi bin thinkin' oi have enough credits te build another complex zomplace.

This toim Oi think it be Paranid space. The top five secondary resources required in Paranid Home sectors is as follows:

• Crystals
• Teladianium
• Nostrop Oil
• Warheads
• Cloth Rhimes

So Oi av te voind some place for it all.

Duke's Vision. It will be like this...

• 2x Crystal Fab L
• 1x Flower Farm L
• 1x Ore Mine L 22y
• 1x Rimes Fact L
• 1x Silicon Mine L 56y
• 1x SPP L
• 2x SPP M
• 2x Soyery L
• 1x Soyery M
• 1x Soyfarm M
• 1x Sun Oil Refinery l
• 1x Teladianium Foundry L
• 1x Weapon component Factory
• 1x Wheat Farm L

Total cost with CCKs 57,320,980 cr

Well, Master Xadrian, Oi'm not zayin' it an't or or your cartographer was not up to his job, but the local cartographer offered help. have explored out to 500km on three elevations with a triplex scanner.

We just can't voind that 56 yield silicon 'roid.

However there seems to be a good supply of minerals from the Paranid mines, so Oi'l jus' 'ave te re-run some calculations.

And just to prove that lump of silicon is there....



Since this is some 100 km from the ore mine, I think I will do a stacked complex.
