Location: E11 Tags: Boring Board Briefing Michael enter Raven's office on one of the capital ships in the fleet. Yes? You have been summoned to a board meeting. I just disbanded all board meetings. What happened? It's the Milky way board. They want a report on our progress. I sent them a report two days ago. Yes, but they want to hear it from you. You are expected in holo-room 5 in 15 minutes. Raven walk away and mumble something about “illiterate high ups” and “to important or stupid to use auto read”. She enter the holo-room and gets projected as a hologram in a conference room a galaxy away. (She on the other hand only get 2D screens to minimize bandwidth.) Acting CEO of the Andromeda branch. Honored board members. Ms Truman, it is our understanding that our progress in Andromeda have declined... It turned out that they had read the report and was concerned of the situation. Raven spend over an hour explaining the situation (most of which was in the report) and then two hours going over solutions. ...so we agree on the strategy for the coming weeks. Yes, Sakamoto-san. Then I declare the meeting ended.

Great job as usual! I recognized the lab on the second picture (Johnson and the window). I was thinking about using that in my category A as it's one of my favorite AG builds but I wouldn't be able to do it justice. I'm happy you used it and now new members can read the original too.

Well, I like my start on Aliens: [Name] First discovered by [Player] on [Planet] This give both who created them and the first appearance Description: [] We could also add things like “Active in area” to know where to likly find them Also “significant encounters” as a list of links to important builds And possibly “appearance” where there looks is described with links to Bricklink. Or we could just add a picture right under the name Alien organisations are basicaly the same but could need an “relations” where there general hostility is also included. For the Zotaxians this would be “unknown” or “undiscovered” for species Regarding Flora and Fauna I don't think we can keep them apart. Just think of the cactus creature on New Carlifornia or the Plant thing that follow that MANTIS player. (and don't get me started on Pombe's animal tree) Instead I think each planet should have “general environment” (like yellow rocks on Donwarr, high trees on Arium Minor and red vegitation on Lesser Direstan) and “known lifeforms” for indivudual creatures. Exampel G03 New Carlifornia General environment Barren desert with little vegetation but bloom during rare rain seasons (this should be more like a guide rather then instructions on how to build there) Known lifeforms “Cactus Creature”, Killius on sightus (named by Eshey) Description: Looks like a cactus but is a dangerous carnivore. Known to have attacked humans. Threat level: High, proceed with cation. (Picture and Latin names are optional ) Killer scorpion Description: A deadly creature found on many planets Threat level: Extreme (if you are Octan) Sorry if I seam to bossy. I welcome other suggestions and ideas too (and in the final version you can remove my little jokes)

Here is my list. It's not entirely compleat yet as I still remember a few aliens I haven't found again. It's also not mush descriptions yet but maybe we can all help with that. I think this could be a good start for a new thread. Maybe we can even move the last conversation over there? Either way, it would be easier to have this in it's own thread to easy find and add to. Andromeda Guide (or The players guide to the Andromeda galaxy) * Sentient species Humans Description: Mostly harmless Ter Tahls First discovered by Kodan Black on F10 Arium Major "Space-ducks" First discovered by Jedadiah Douglass on E09 Castral Terrestrials First discovered by Narbilu on B06 Sorn Description: Head of the ALIEN Alliance Rothillian First discovered by Narbilu on B06 Sorn Description: Part of the ALIEN Alliance Zard First discovered by Narbilu on B06 Sorn Description: Part of the ALIEN Alliance Tron First discovered by Narbilu on Traig IV Description: Part of the ALIEN Alliance Zoid First discovered by Narbilu on B06 Sorn Description: Part of the ALIEN Alliance. Also known for raiding and enslaving members of other species. An enemy to the Merchant Confederacy. Operate mostly on the "east" side of the galaxy. Frogans First discovered by Lady Kianna on B03 Linopeia III Description: The Frogans are a viscous slave-taking race... that is... if they leave any survivors at all. Terrians First discovered by Lady Kianna on D04 Terrial Minor Description: Peaceful natives? of Terrial Minor Zotaxians (Insectoids) First "discovered" by Dr. Danielle Long on F04 Illustria Description: An ancient race shrouded in mystery charged with protecting even more ancient knowledge * Alien organasations Merchant Confederacy First discovered by John Hannibal on G02 Freegate Description: A.L.I.E.N. (Andromeda’s Liberated Interracial and Entrepreneurial Nations) First discovered by Narbilu on B06 Sorn Description: * Other alien findings Large chained scelaton found by Lu Chaslaug-Hing on E02 Jurin II Huge ancient god found by Aliencat on E02 Jurin II Alien ruin found by Agent Raven on A07 Lesser Direstan Primitive natives of H05 Livgorn found by Hernan Alvaro

A lot of people seams interested in this "Guide to the Andromeda galaxy" and it would be a lot of work for one person. So why not make it a crowd effort? Bob can make a new thread “Andromeda Guide” or something and anyone who have something to say about an alien or creature/environment can make a post about it. The first post could be updated with the important data from the posts but right now I just think it can be mostly empty. I'm already working on a list of aliens based on some notes I had and the info that was just posted.

I liked that character (but I have only seen the first season) I named my assistant (Michael Reyes) after her. (I hadn't seen the 100 back when I named Raven, her name comes mostly from Mystique)

I will make one soon and have another in mind. Also planing to build upon Narbilus ALIENS that he introduce in They represent ALIEN We can talk more about that in a new privat conversation

You are welcome to join Andromeda and Kawashita! Looking forward to your official introduction (all you need is a minifig ). If you have any other questions fell free to ask them here or PM me.

Really nice spaceship! you should join us. I can ensure you Kawashita have nothing to do with this (or at least Octan wasn't supposed to know about it ) And how nice that "Not Kawashita" named the "Not our spaceship" after me. (I take it the name is based on Diablo or Warhammer40k rather than my sigfig) When I want to make a blury background I use the macro setting and go really close to the sharp area (fig) and even move the camera away after locking focus (or just move the background further away)

You get a lot of things right too! Don't be to hard on yourself. And we all have life too, you are doing great

How come the map still show the fleet positions of last week?

Yes, join Kawashita. M-tron is fine our colors are dark red (or red) and dark gray. And you could always build alien landscapes with whatever bricks you have. A big bart of the game is to get inspiered and learning to be beter. And no one ever have enough bricks I guess star wars and maybe ninjago have good parts but I don't buy mush sets. Welcome to Andromeda!

And very hard to stear with nothing to sitt on I guess it was to large to fit in his pocket (or backpack )

Ohh, right. We are stronger then ever! (Just don't count our builds or look at the diagrams in my last build) Phew, I think we dodged a bulet there.

The back of his regular face (ultron)

Fantastic fight scene! (I guess Koro was holding back when fighting Raven.) The dialoge is cool too. I especialy like the Commodore going from “You don't stand a chance. Kill him” to “Maybe we can talk about this”. But my favorite was, “excuse the hair but I was just blown up” or probably more like “I'm bleeding internally and can hardly stand up, do you think I care about my hair?!” (I'm interpreting the feel of it, not the exact quotes) It's a bit funny that you got her armor now when she use a suit (but I have a feeling she'll be back in the field relatively soon. )

Yes, for me. sorry (I'd want to buy to others as well but we are a litle short on active players right now)

Thank you! The room looked so empty so I added some plants. (thoroughly checked to be non toxic or Raven wouldn't go near them ) Thanks! It's not as good as I hoped and have technics that I consider “cheating” but I was short on time, (and have ridiculously high standard) Building for AG helps to ignore / overcome them (exept for in challanges)

For players with few or no builds that is prety mych the only option to enter category B. If you don't want to then just don't do it. I have already chosen builds for both categories (catA is from you ) I'm no judge or gammaster so this is only my opinions.

Location: E11 Tags: And now Raven is back to being a CEO of a multi galactic company as this story follow up on a new job from two weeks ago. Board meetings and Border disputes Octan relations are good, the MANTIS fleet have moved away and the Dust Demons shouldn't bother us anymore. It looks like the constant conflicts are settling down and stable boarders are established. First, I know where the MANTIS fleet is, I'm still fleet captain. Second, it was I who lead the invasion to stop the Dust Demons. And finally, peaceful outlooks and stable boarders are no excuse to slack off. Our productivity is dropping drastically. You are right. That's why you can't spend as mush as you are doing. Lets see here, 200 thousand K on “company badges”... For PR. And 500 thousand K for strategy books to fieldworkers? A lot of those titles seams a bit advanced for standard personal. What? They are basically dummy manuals. If I had the founds I would get everyone a copy of “the art of space war” but the license is insanely expensive. And then you have bought “liquefactor core” and “metal eater” technology for 350 million K each. They are new inventions based on awesomnium research and supply water and biomass on barren worlds which reduce the need for supply runs and allow faster exploration missions. Ok, moving on to... And it continues for a while... ...untill Before we move on we would like to give you a present. We got it for you when you was made fleet captain but never shoved up to any board meeting. Of course I didn't show up. Half the time I was on covert missions with radio silence and the rest of the time there just wasn't any point to attend the meeting physically. In fact, this entire meeting have been a wast of time. A lot of people waiting for there turn to tell me something I already know. Well, maybe there wasn't that mush said this time because it's low activity and things are running along but in the future... You are right. I hereby disband all board meetings till they are necessary again. For now, if you have a problem, write to me and I take care of it. You are all dismissed. They all start to leave. Aren't you going to take your hat. Why would I wear a gift shop item for 15.99 K. This suit is bad enough. Then Raven's new assistant walk up to her. Ms Raven. What now? Octan have an important issue to discuss. Just put it on my screen. No, they are here in person. What, haven't Octan learned to use a phone. We have but this was a direct order from the CEO. Third branch executive Dr Long. This must be important. Yes it is. You are the new CEO of Kawashita? Yes, call me Raven... Good, I'm very busy and you are stealing our awesomnium. What? I can ensure we have no agents raiding Octan as of our agree... No, you are mining on our asteroid DT438. This must be a misunderstanding. While she search the database she continue. And why is this done on the top level? I haven't had time to look in to it myself but it must be big if it reached all the way to the CEO. It's not like he search for this kind of things himself. Here it is. We are mining on DT438 but it's ours. Impossible, I was told it was a clear violation to Octan territory. Our guy, Mr Wind claimed it on Octobrinali 10 - 12:45 AM. Yes, but it was nullified as it was claimed by Kawashita on Octobrinali 10 - 12:30 AM, 15 minutes earlier. Let me check... You are right. But how could this have slipped thru all the way to the CEO? Earlier in another part of the Fascini Cluster. Eshey, call Octan HQ! I need to report a grose violation. Kawashita are drilling in holes that clearly belong to Octan. I need our most persistent upholder of rules on this immediately.

I would like to buy a liquefactor core and metal eater please.

How comes you get to do infiltration missions as CEO when Raven is stuck with board meetings? Unfair! :classic: Really nice garage and hover car. And you can never have to mush horse power! (asuming the rest of the car and driver can handle it)

As it is a challenge, should we use any tags? Do tech and job bonuses work for our alternative versions or do we skip tags completely? Location on the other hand should be at the top of the post. Maybe we should also specify which team we build for in case it's not obvius [Challenge 3][Cat X][T-CNN] Title Maybe? Or just write it in the post as it get very long.

Nice, it look similar to that Octan wrench ship (oh, it was you who made that too a litle too similar I see now)

One of the coolest things with this callenge would be to see new versions of sigfig so I definitly think you should change it. That armor exist in both green and red
