alas I won't be able to send my mine for at least 14 hours 
(which will still just be inside thursday for me 
).

Damn my main computer is down and I cant send orders from this one.
Huh? How can you not send orders if you can write a post here? And what's kept all you people from writing orders way earlier? Mine took about 10 mins on Monday.

1) Real Life
2) Complexity in our orders and strategies!
Pah, Real Life, why would it give you more time today than you had Monday?
And complexity, like we have anything complex to play with at this stage!

Because I have scribbled all the notes on that one. Also this keyboard doesntr do it for me. Mz effin power supply is jerky and I am subject to its whims. Right now it refuses to boot up.
EDIT: Alright I got it working again. I'll be sending them ASAP.
Yarrrders sent.

I'm sorry: Due to a severe headache and several people sending in orders their thursday, not mine, update was delayed. It'll probably be in today (which, in some time zone, should still be friday.)
Ow.
Ow.
Too bad to hear Erik, hope you feel better today. I really look forward to the update, whenever it comes!
(and I'll probably come here looking for it every ten minutes or so. 
)

Have I sent orders in yet? I do not believe I have.

Yay! The update is coming, the update is coming! (And X-mas is coming soon too!)

Galactic News Organization
"Greetings! My name is Mr. Grey, welcoming you to another edition of Galactic News Tonight.
As I'm sure you all know, the Sector Seven Hundred Project recently suffered a massive loss of funding. The Project was one of our scientists' greatest undertakings, growing a xenocivilization of humans almost from scratch. Luckily for the scientists, the Project was advanced enough that they managed to compensate for their sudden debt by selling off the most advanced resources from the developing civilization to collectors and similar research parties.
Now, since this is so similar to the Backwater Region affair, we go to our Dee-Clones, who are covering several areas of the Sector Seven Hundred Project. Dee-One, you've got the isolated Jagannathans, what's their status?"
Thank you, Mister Grey. The Jagannatha Concordance is the most plague-struck faction in Sector 700. I've been watching viruses and memes sweep through them at regular intervals for a few months now. They recover rapidly, though, and they might be the faction that msot closely approximates a simple self-reproducing object themselves. Their research has been more concrete than abstract – they've got biological objects manning some of their factories. (OOC: "Industrial biotech for boosting production" got dumped into planet redevelopment, since I didn't understand where else to put it. Also, you can't inhabit a system the turn you scout it, as you have to know what kind of system it is.)
The Jagannatha Concordance
Spoiler :
Back to you, Mister Grey...
"Right! Very interesting, I'm sure, but we have a dozen factions to cover. Dee-Two is covering the next subgroup of them, consisting of a religious set of clones and two universities. Over to you..."
"Thank you, Mr. Grey. The Clone Army, under leadership of Lord Bob, are the liberated remnants of slaves. Their liberation was conducted in large part by the Jesites who now form a moral foundation for the Clone Army. Lord Bob has made Jesism the official religion on what is now Bobworld."
Clone Army
Spoiler :
"The Clone Army has already gotten into its first skirmish. In the Phact system, their warship and scouts encountered a war party from the University Network. They greeted the University in the name of Lord Bob of Bobworld, and the University ship found this witty in a hostile manner. The University's Arsenal-Carrier launched a dozen fighters, figuring that the clones had only three ships and were outnumbered. The clone ships retreated at first, unsure what to do, which tempted the University into firing on them. At this, their larger ship turned around and shot down the entire University fleet, which was sadly underpowered.
(University Network -10 Fighters, -45 Tanks, -400 Infantry, -1 Carrier)
"Now, the University group is likely to seek revenge. They've developed missiles and the technology to power larger ships with Elerium."
(University Network researches Elerium Drives, can build Ships of the Line for 8 Production. Also, repeated Eh-What's-This in the orders and attempts to research MD Worms yet again were ignored.)
University Network (University)
Spoiler :
"Finally, the last group I'm covering is Icard. They've laid claim to Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Alnilam was contested by the University, but they're rather busy. Mintaka is a quiet world, previously residential, now entirely abandoned. Alnitak and Alnilam are both being swept by similar plagues resulting from massive deaths when intelligent caretaker systems ceased to function."
Interstellar Centre for Advanced Research and Development (ICARD)
Spoiler :
"Well, that was all on my half. Back to you, Mister Grey."
[Relive the battle!]
"Now to the rest of our Dee-Clones, who are covering a possibly more interesting bit of the galaxy."
"Thank you, Mr. Grey. I'm Dee-Three, and the first group I'm covering is the Aquarious Agricultural Corperation. Their leader Elective Thorne suffered a nasty accident during the first year of recuperation, falling into a vat of acid. Will these humans never learn basic safety? His successor, Elective Coren, has declared a day of remembrance for said fool. Elective has been eagerly redeveloping the Corperation's home planet. He's got some more of the ground-based factories working, not to mention an orbital shipyard. Brings a tear to my eye, it does, watching humans grow like this. To the nikpol, the've reentered the Giausar system, and to the bik, the Skat system. Giausar is in turmoil, as it was never a very productive world. Genetically engineered monsters are roaming the planet now. The Project scientists inform me that they're studying chaotic macrosystems, but I think they just couldn't find buyers for these things. Skat, on the other hand, is almost three times as productive, not to mention peaceful. It was quietly closed down and should become a productive world again soon."
"Both Giausar and Skat border worlds controlled by the Tau Empire, and I expect these two groups to be working together closely in the future."
Aquarious Agricultural Corperation
Spoiler :
"And now for a short commercial break before we continue..."
Spoiler legal stuff :

"Welcome back. Now for the AAC's neighbors, the Tau Empire."
"The Tau are one of those interesting growths that pop up from time to time, like the Empty Set Group six hundred in-project years ago and the Scientologists five hundred in-project years before that again. They have collectively adopted a unique ideology like no other group synchronous with them, and they intend to spread it as far as they can. Naturally, they believe that this for the good of all, and their focus is on what they define as the Greater Good."
T'au Empire
Spoiler :
"The Tau will probably be a focus group in the near future, being the sole contact for the Aquarious Agricultural Corperation mentioned previously, and having already made direct interface with three other factions: Long Di Guan, Mobius Roverius and the Commonwealth of Interstellar Domains. Over to Dee-Four for that."
"Thank you, Dee-Three. I have the privilege of covering possibly the most interesting faction in the Sector Seven Hundred Project, the self-appointed Commonwealth of Interstellar Domains, which in their barbaric language is abbreviated to something roughly resembling 'elcid'. They're based on Earth-Sol, the world on which the entire Project was founded! Consider that - the Project was so expansed and decentralized that the homeworld was no longer superior by default."
Commonwealth of Interstellar Domains (CID)
Spoiler :
"So, on to the other group in contact with Elcid, this being Mobius Roverius, also called the Timeless. An ideal I can respect. Leading even the Tau for the position of centerpiece, they've already made contact with the Tau, Elcid, Long Di Guan, Viginti Venti and Iyanden. Mobius Roverius has also funded an interesting project, called Crystal Clear, to facilitate personal identification and security clearance checking. It has several other purposes, but we won't go into those here.
Mobius Roverius (The Timeless)
Spoiler :
"And so to my last report, on the Long Di Guo empire. It is based on a system uniquely preserved from the early days of the Project, in an unbroken culture chain lasting thousands of years."
Dragon Empire (formerly Long Di Guo)
Spoiler :
"Which means that they're somewhat boxed in. That's all I've got, before Dee-Five covers the last two factions of the Project, the Trans-Planetary Unified Coalition of Viginti Venti and the Iyanden, or Eldar."
"Dee-Five here. Thank you, Dee-Four. Zhigo and Zaojiu, co-leaders of Viginti Venti, have been focused inwards, and as a result, their home system has become very productive indeed. Meanwhile their craft have moved to Kornephoros, which is sadly lacking in live subjects, due to the uncontrolled release of various creatures meant to be kept in controlled circumstances, and to Lesath, which is small and burst into anarchy when the Project lost funding and sold off the advanced structures. They have a problem in that their old society was rather reliant on robots, as you'll see shortly..."
Trans-Planetary Unified Coalition of Viginti Venti (Viginti Venti)
Spoiler :
"They've contacted the Eldar, Long Di Guo and Mobius Roverius, but none of these have the robots that they depended on. They're catching up with their reactivation, though."
"And so to the Iyanden, or Eldar. Time's running out, so I'll present them quickly..."
Iyanden (Eldar)
Spoiler :
"Back to you, Mr Grey."

[Was: Reserved for tech tree. Update will be edited in in a few hours after damned stuff to do.]
In the Biotech category, the opening techs are Cloning Basics (cell cultures, replacement organs, etc) and Medicine (studies of disease and whatnot). Further branches are:
Cloning Basics → Growth Vats.
Medicine → Toxins
Medicine → Doctory
Ship Armament covers Laser Bursts (allows you to skimp on aiming, distance and suchlike), Guided Missiles (these must be redeveloped from 'stupid' missiles) and Fast Slugs (kinetic weapons).
Laser Bursts → Laser Aiming
Guided Missiles → Smart Missiles
Fast Slugs → Shaped Slugs
Ship Defenses technologies are Point Defenses (shooting down missiles), Hull Plating (defends against impacts) and Shield Field (absorbs laser fire).
Point Defenses → Tactical Defenses
Hull Plating → Heavy Hulls
Shield Field → Advanced Shield
Under the heading of Societal Rediscoveries, we have Worker Specialization (improves production by Ricardo's Law), Production Lines (gets more factories working again, for maximum production) and Instant Messaging (social advantages and a useful prerequisite).
Worker Specialization → Applied Economics
Production Lines → Automated Factories
Instant Messaging → Information Networking
Technological Recovery also has three branches, these being Shipboard Computers (which takes over lots of functions, saving you crew and increasing reactions), Active Shipyards (which a lot of you researched) and Protocol Recognition (which salvages a few ships and increases travel speed to 2/turn by facilitating gate use).
Shipboard Computers → Computerized Ships
Active Shipyards → Prefabrication
Protocol Recognition → Handwavium Resonance
Finally, there is Unit Redevelopment, covering weapons improvement for infantry and tanks with the Autocannon, getting bigger ships with Elerium Drives and unmanned drones with Remote Control.
Autocannon → Railgun/Coilgun
Autocannon → Really Heavy Artillery
Elerium Drives → Refined Elerium
Remote Control → Smart Drones

Lord Bob! My arch-nemesis has returned! Figures I always get screwed in the start.
Now for questions...
What do the Social Rediscovery Technology do?
What the hell is the Unit Redeveloment good for? I thought we designed units ourselves.
Carriers are unarmed, eh?
What about my basic genetics research? I get ignoring the MD worms, but not this.
And ze stronger hulls I've ordered?
That is all. Sorry for the barrage of questions and untidy orders.
