Stardate 1010.29 Captain Bindi McKinnon USS Remillard

The Remillard completed low intensity warp trials successfully, making its first trip beyond the Oort Cloud and back. And conditions for a cyclone here in Darwin are excellent. I'll be standing by in a pod with a sensor/telemetry suit on to record every minute. If I survive. If not, I estimate at least another week for them to pick out another captain.

Personal Log Captain Bindi McKinnon USS Remillard Stardate 1010.26

Notification that the USS Remillard docked at Justman/Eaves shipyards arrived as I'd left for Darwin. Admiral Smith is angry that it won't be ready to depart for a week. But I arranged a month ago with Admiral Tsolinas to open the weathernet here to allow for testing of the cyclone pod. If conditions on Tholia are as promised, we'll need to know if these pods can handle it. So Australia will have its first cyclone in a century, and if all goes well, I'll be there to document it. From the inside.

Special Update: Fifty Points, Head to Head Sector Assault, DusaQ VeS

Fantasy Trek is still alive and well... just suffering a bit...

I find myself again explaining a gap in updates. That's the thing about RL, and as long as there are no hordes of registered players I'm not going to torture myself over it..




Fifty Points:



RIP Fifty Points. Too many rules, and the slow pace and massive record keeping made it too much burden and not enough fun. I am working on an excel-based version, with fewer rules, and hopefully simplified record keeping. I'll most likely post any results on google docs with a summary and link here.



DusaQ VeS is on life support. The lesson is that when you start to play a game that isn't fully written, you run the risk of losing the thread before you finish. So DusaQ VeS may be taking a hiatus.



Head to Head Sector Assault is getting ready for a major clash up as two fully formed RPG fleets approach each other. They also fave shipyards and reserve fleets waiting. The battle for system 3 will most likely determine the eventual winner, and that battle is just a few turns from now. Here are turns 18 through 24:
