Astro Galaxy - a realistic space exploration game

This is Commander-in-Chief Dadds, commanding Fleet #1 of the IMG corporation. To all pilots out there, several anomalies have been detected by our scout vessels appearing within the Sol quadrant of 0.0.
Our scouts report they appear to be some kind of wormhole - event horizon phenomenon which has the effect to transport a small craft through time/space and instantly materialize within another part of normal space.
We will share the experience as we cross over to our pilot of vessel "Claw" who was first on scene to explore the anomaly.
"CLAW to fleet command, Commander Dadds, come in Commander, over"
"This is Commander Dadds, fleet command 1, go ahead captain"
"CLAW TO FLEET COMMAND, request scrambled and secure communications channel skip Sir, we got something....something strange detected here sir!"
"COMMAND to CLAW.... say again?! over"
"Commmand, requesting secure communication channel clearance sir, NOW. We have something .....something on scope sir."
"RGR CLAW, switch channel to secure frequency channel my authentication BRAVO ZULU, protocol ALPHA"
hissssssss....crack....hsssssssssss....."COMMAND....CLAW...I authenticate ALPHA 1, BRAVO 1, 15629 BIZMARK"
"RGR CLAW authenticate confirmed, what do you have out there lad? Comms is secure <over>"
"Sir, its....like nothing we have seen before....a...a....a... something. Something is swamping our sensors. Our nav computers are going haywire. Please advise <over>"
"COMMAND. take it easy captain, what is your ship status? Report your status"
"Sir, hull integrity holding, shields are at full strength. The nav readings are all over the place. We are (or believe we are) in quadrant 0,0 on routine patrols, in the space between Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani systems, though our nav computers are spinning off the dial. We have detected a massive disturbance in space. How do we proceed? <over>"
"COMMAND> Is your vessel in any danger? Do you feel you can safely investigate anomaly? <over>"
"CLAW> I think we are OK Sir, but the nav and energy readings are way above anything our sensors can handle. We have never seen anything of this magnitude <over>"
"COMMAND> RGR proceed with caution and investigate anomaly. Are you able to get a nav lock on it? <over>"
"CLAW> Yes Sir, nav officer has reconfigured the computer to get a positive fix, proceeding to location of the disturbance.....jumping in 5..4..3..2..1...engage.................hsssssssssssssss......."
"COMMAND to CLAW, come in...<over>"
"CLAW this is COMMAND, do you read me?  Repsond. Status <over>"
"CLAW come in <over>"
"COmmAND this is....."shhhhtttttt"...this is CLAW. Barely reading you. We are on location at the anomaly....it appears to be some sort of massive vortex in space. Distorting the very fabric of local space. Navigation computers finding it difficult to hold a fix on local star systems......even light getting distorted....It is massive...such energy...navigator, get us out of here.....NAVIGATIONS report........What!!!!??? ...hssssssss....Nav, plot course out of here NOW!!!...... "
"COMMAND this is CLAW.....can you read us? Hull integrity holding, shield draining...50%. we are too close to the anomaly.....it will tear us apart in 5 mins. All attempts to escape is ripping us apart Sir. "Nav, set forward impulse engines, stand by to engage worm engines, we have only one way out of this...its into....THAT!!...all stations brace!...battlestations...code red...ENGAGE!
HISSSSSSSSSS....
We have since been in contact with the captain of CLAW. She survived the anomaly, thankfully, with no loss of life and with all ships functions operational.
She has since conducted further tests and so far have found this new anomaly, we are calling a "wormhole" to be fairly stable for now, but we cannot know until more research is conducted.
We have since discovered a 2nd anomaly for which we have sent our experienced crew into to further test these "wormholes in space"
More news to come as our researchers study the data recovered from CLAW and send science vessels out to the location of these holes in space.
That is all for now. Naturally some information cannot be released until we have studied it and are sure of what we have discovered here.

Awesome  :))

Captain's Supplement: In the spirit of science unity, I offer all other captains to post their findings regarding these strange anomalies to this news group.

Dadds

Thread cleaned up, the discussion was not relevant for the topic.

We should have more of this clean up. Can we directly report any future "irrelevant discussion" to you, SirEmi?

Anyway, I have "new" information to share: the recently found star cluster has the size of 10x10 quadrants.  :)

How would you compare the densities of outer quadrants to the inner ones?

I also found a star cluster, probably the same Ralph found ;)

thank you

Density of stars goes higher toward the inner quadrants. As high as 16 stars in a single quadrant and as low as only one. LOL

kinda looks as if we are all in the same sector...

please post findings in the AG forum...

IMG forward scouts have discovered an odd space-location dilation with the event horizon we are currently experiencing.
Depending on which side you approach the wormhole event dictates your relative position in time-space.
2 vessels approaching from either side of the same wormhole physically report as being in the exact same location, however they are actually worlds apart and cannot see each other in space.
We assume its similar to being on two sides of the looking glass. While in the event horizon, we "appear" to be on the other side but in reality, until you move through and past the anomaly, you are not actually in that part of space yet.
Hoping some of our leading Sol Physicists can look into this phenomenon of spatial reality and come up with a solution so that ships can meet up on either side of the unknown anomaly.

let it be known that the Shady Rest will open soon in the outer void for your refueling needs...

TGE will also be setting up a public fueling station in the outer void.  TGE Express is scheduled to leave at 12 am eastern standard time.  A defense station will be set up along side it on the off chance someone decides they want to attack it. This station's purpose will be for public refueling. TGE expects IMG to uphold it's agreement to not destroy public fueling stations set up by TGE. 

Not sure if it was an agreement since there were no shake of the hands. It was to do with being honorable and to not destroy public refuelling stations set up by yourself for the purpose of assisting other pilots. I did also comment that any build up of military structures will be dealt with accordingly. I dont recommend putting up a military station next to a fuel station. Co-lateral damage can be unfortunate.

Unfortunately the actions of one Jake recently has made it important to set up a defense station.  I have heard reports from Sargas of Jake destroying some of his since you made an agreement with him on public fueling stations.  Please understand this is simply a security precaution and the station won't exceed 10 mill power. It actually will be quite lower then that.  I am stripping down my Hybrid ship for this station so that I don't have to custom make anything.  Also I can never be to sure if other players out there might decide to destroy it.  You can never be too careful.  I will publicly announce the location of the station though once it is set up.  That way all the public can know where it is and can use it to buy fuel if they need some.

i never had an agreement with Sargas what-so-ever, other than we were non-hostile to EOS until a dirty dishonorable attack occurred at Jupiter while trying to capture the planet back from an ursurper who threw you and EOS out on their ear.
Unless you mean that post dripping with sarcasm that i made several days or weeks ago regarding destruction of EOS property. I think the ref was something with EOS refuelling stations closing down.
There is no honor bound word with EOS since they chose to side heavily with SSS against ourselves.
I am a miner-turned-warrior, and treat you as the same code befitting a warrior, JamJul of TGE. To the rest.......they make policy by their own actions.
Jake has instruction to treat enemy establishments the same way as ours have been treated in the past by those currently engaged against us. For those, there will be no quarter given.

SirEmi, please clean this thread for the second time. Some people just don't learn. LOL

if i recall rightly, Raphael, YOU were the first offender to taking stuff off-topic on this, my thread for in-game role-play.
If you are now the self-declared censorship police, then expect a very strong protestation to your version of moderation.
While the current subject is not strictly to do with anomalies, it is in-game roll playing as a progression to new discoveries and politics, so again, butt out and keep your nose out of my role-playing.

Uh, nope! Talking about corp relationships and their attempts to set up fuel stations have nothing to do with anomalies. ROFL

so far I haven't found anything exciting enough to mine...

As you know the only reason I am even against you is because you declared war on TGE.  So let's refresh our agreement.  Let's agree that TGE and IMG wil not attack each other's public fueling stations.   The defense station will be just that, for defense. In order for this fueling station to work well I can't use crap mines. I don't want my mines an harvesters being vulnerable to easy attack by anyone. If someone wants them bad enough they are going to need to spend a lot of QP. This is not going to be a military outpost. If it were I would have never made any mention of it at all. 

people, please...

...At least stay on topic in this thread...

 

I will indulge in your discussion since SirEmi isn't cleaning it up: I know that IMG won't agree to that since they won't be get any benefit from it. It's not like they can ever set up a station or anything with me around. Everything that they build will be annihilated, even if I have to bring in 40 ships!  :))

Now back to the topic:

SSS Voyager has completed mapping the entire cluster, as shown below. As previously reported and now confirmed, the star density is higher in the inner quadrants.  :)

well done...

Do you all think there is only one new cluster as of now?

there may be others, this is the first one we found...

believe there are four. I hope  :))

I have heard this from a couple of you.

 Where did you see it would be only 4?
 I read it to be that the clusters would be ~1500LY's apart (therefore, the farther we go out the more clusters we will find; and because of the size of the bloody haystack, we may never find the next needle...

thanks

As requested politely by Sargas, the discussion of outposts will be moved to a topical thread i will create so this thread i created can go back to the discussion of anomalies and discoveries by pilots.

Thank you, Dadds. 

I, for one, am getting tired of having to read inane drivel and pointless tirades in order to read something with real substance.

Finally. That took some time for you to realize that it's out of topic. LOL

Anyway, the Syndicate now confirms the existence of hermit stars in the galaxy. One example of this phenomenon can be found in quadrant 22,30.  :)

stop bragging...


,,,giggle...

Those info belong here more than in our little game.  :))

nice find raphael

oh, and @Raphael. I didnt start that out of topic thread, i just responded to it, yet again. As i did with yours. If you have an issue with me responding to inappropriate threads, dont post them in inappropriate forums.
