couple of hours further in - i have rescued 2 of the destroyers from the ship graveyard, these are just the destroyers mind which i was going to ignore as i can build my own - i join them with my fleet of frigates and go gravilax hunting and pirate hunting - fleet jumps into system, my ships do the little we've just arrived dance, give us a minute, the destroyers head off - from half the map away they launch god knows what and the gravillax is dead before my guys have finished making tea - there are 3 cruisers and 3 carriers still been repaired in the cemetery!! The turtle guys turned too late and started fixing the troop transports - unless theres Dark Angels on board i think i made the right choice
Getting on well with the turtles, scouting for the Teekans and still stealing tech from the pirates - i have 5 colonies now across 4 systems and were building a ship for another one
experienced my first CTD today with the game - nothing spectacular, just farted and quit out - went back in, triggered the same scenario and had no problem
