[UNION MAIL] [10/06/2022]

From: [Officer] CPT Hook

(8**4, **64) For those who are far from the city, start your preparation now to transfer your strongest fleet into the city. You can send some Recon Fleets first for fast travel. Our City Siege will be by tomorrow at [UTC 12:00:00]. For anyone offline at that time, join in a rally. And for those who are available to do the manual attack, move your fleet around the city. Calculate the time of your sailing time. Be There! Good luck guys!

-----------------------------------------

So...it has begun. The first City OPERATION has been announced to be initiated within a day from now.

I've only begun to stabilize my resources and now starting to advance to EXPANSION 4. 65.87k metal per hour, so base upgrading isn't an issue now. Though my process has become slower to EXPANSION 6.

I've also occupied 80 COMMAND POINTS for 10 AC721 Destroyers for the miners, which leaves me only 30 more COMMAND POINTS for the City OPERATIONS.

Hmm...

Seems that I need to readjust again.

As of now, I'll dismantle one of my AC721 Destroyers and start manufacturing the Mare Nubiums.

Apart from the FG300 Armored Versions that can serve as good meat shields, my best option to supporting is via Siege Firepower. The others are likely using the FG300 series, the AC721 Destroyers and their other BLUEPRINTS lower than the Cruiser TYPES.

There are also several SHIPS I've saw in the UNION Chat. Scrolling up, I see a Taurus, Winged Hussar, Reliat...

Ayo what?? Someone already got a CV3000??

[UNION CHAT]

Dylannn: BLUEPRINTS [CV3000 - High-Speed Carrier]

Dylannn: Why do I always get the big ships like this?! There are no ships for use now...FG300 until now...

kadeng: Haha, at least they might be useful in the future.

Justicar of He: BLUEPRINTS [Jaeger - Heavy Aircraft Cruiser]

Justicar of He: I got this when I first started basically and I still can't use it. Anyone got opinions on this ship?

...

Damn, someone already got the CV3000 this early?!

And the Jaeger...This must be one of the new ships. I don't remember seeing many Aircraft cruisers apart from the KCCPV2 and the Predator. I actually wonder how well it is actually in this current situation.

And speaking of the Reliat, interestingly enough, there's an actual Redeem Code function here. The Code [LAG22222] issues 30k metal, 800 Crystals, 500 Deterium, 28.89k E-Coins and a single [Reliat - Rapid Torpedo Frigate].

I mean, I expected that they won't give the actual BLUEPRINTS for the Reliat, but a single ship? Seriously? I'll take the resources though, so I don't mind it. And as for the Reliat...I'll just scrap it.

The Reliat is essentially negligible as a single unit and if I don't have the BLUEPRINTS, meaning I can't upgrade it like the Mare Nubium. It's a shame that I won't be getting resources back since it wasn't a ship that I constructed, but it leaves more space.

Since I'll be sending the Mare Nubium, which is effective in Siege Firepower, I'll name this first combatant Fleet [Light Siege], simple and easy to understand. It's also cause of the 12 Character limits I can't call this a Battering Ram without making it like [BatteringRam], which just doesn't feel right.

[UTC 10:00:00]

Updating at around 8 hours from last update.

Anyways, it seems that the City Operation was actually today at [UTC 12:00:00].

So yeah...I'm not making it. Damn, not only am I not prepared, I won't even make it in time to arrive at all. The distance is so astronomical that it exceeds the max sailing range of 1500. Even if I shorten the distance at a nearby base, it's gonna take 4 hours even in Warp Speed?!

~ Note: There are speeds for Cruising Speed and Warp Speed, which Warp Speed is several folds faster than Cruising Speed, but requires stop points to warp to.

Well then, I'll just write down a new Discussions in the FORUMS to the City Operation Procedures then! I've already delayed it for 2 days now, so I might as well do so at this critical moment.

Due to the restrictions of the 300 Character limits, I had to split this into 8 separate parts, with each at an estimate of 200 - 250 Characters, and if we assume that the average word is 5 Characters, I've written a total between 320 - 400 words for this FORUMS through my phone.

Whew...that's tiring. Hopefully some people actually read it...

Anyways, While I've done some more base upgrades, I went to see the new Unions and boy, there's a lot now. Now...it's starting to look like the same server I've been through. And there's several new UNIONS here. I'll post it later in Union Update 3.

And scrolling by the UNION CHAT, [Member] ka- no no, [Officer] kadeng was curious and asked where everyone's states are from.

There's Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia, Cali, Czach Republic and Singapore...

It's quite a widespread I must say.

Ping1

What's thi-

[STAR SYSTEM CHAT]

[Liberation] DARS: BLUEPRINTS [Vitas-B010 - Bomber]

GRADE: S in Anti-Ship Firepower with plasma weapons that if I'm not mistaken, ignores armor to a certain extend.

…

Ping!

[UNION CHAT]

[Member] Athereal: BLUEPRINTS [Ruby - Heavy Railgun Frigate]

GRADE: A in Anti-Ship Firepower with decent AA support.

[Member] Athereal: Is this Frigate good?

...

[Officer] Ark Household: Really good!

I'll be adding you both to my info list here...

Athereal, [Member] of [Guardian]. In possession of the [Eris I - Rapid-Fire Cannon Destroyer] and the [Ruby - Heavy Railgun Frigate], both which fits the Fleet designs for SWARM.

DARS, most likely [Member] of [Liberation], strongest competitors to the [Guardian], in possession of the [Vitas-B010 - Bomber].

...Wait a minute, [Liberation]?

Crap, I forgot to do a check on them, they are the strongest competition so far, but they are slightly falling off with the Empire Dias. What are they up to...

[Liberation]

[UNION MAIL]

From: [Leader] Rico

Hello there. I just want to confirm that I gave you to be in this position because of your contribution in this Union from any activeness. Congratulations! Now, you can make decisions for the Union, and sometimes, I'll let you lead some activities. But, when your contribution is going lower than someone else, this position will be replaced for other members. Is that okay?

Ark Household: All good. Fair enough for me..

Ark Household: gonna comment that you can remove my [Officer] position in advance Sir.

Rico: Hahaha.

Rico: I know you are always on standby.

Of course, Sir.
