Hello neighbor. Welcome to Ilwrath Dominion space. Please contact me further before moving thru another jump point.

 

 

Greetings also from the Protectors of the Republic, we would also appreciate you contacting us.

 

Regards

 

The Republic

 

What does it take for this guy to reply? Do I need to kill his fleet? Serously, Plekton Convocation, you need to turn your ship around and leave. Consider that system you are in a my border with you. You stay on your side of the warp point, I will be staying on mine.

Lugal I have also had no response from the Plekton Convocation.

 

 

However Ive noticed a few strange things, first the ship I encountered was a ship type (Plekton Emissary - 96,000 tons)

Usually its science cruiser, etc thats rather empire specific.

 

Also another of my empires has discovered a item of technology who's perquisite is: Prerequisite Technologies: <Plekton Tech>

 

 

Me thinks this is more then just another empire....

The Plekton are mentioned in the historical notes:-

"References to the Rigellians, Hivers, the Pride, the Fetwhar, Tellerites, Valtavians, the Plek'ton and some

sort of machine race.."

 

It could be a matter of a player choosing a name based on this, the equivalent of calling your empire The Tckon Alliance.

Then again, I don't recall ever seeing an empire number of 5000 or above.

To my knowledge the Gosht-Khor had ID #5068.

I have the Gosht-Kohr as #2296, but I have been known to be wrong from time to time. :-)

Since I only got two little drone cruisers sitting there, might as well see if they can blow that mystery ship up.

Seems reasonable to me. An alien race is wandering through your territory and won't respond to hails.

Just out of interest, could you post the Plekton fleet sighting? Was it a "Plekton Emissary" too?

Well, I got my butt handed to me. Guess I shouldnt have used a 5 year old ship for this. But, I got the details on this guy for whoever decides to take these guys on. I hope my next fight with this guy is more fruitful.

Not surprisingly, its full of plekton tech, ignores shields and has no shields. This fleet shoudn't pose any danger to you by itself, but I wonder if it heralds something more.

 

Some initial guesswork (and I have several ANZs):-

Parasitic Bore - weapon

Bioelectric Mantle - armour

Nidamental Gland - armour

Plektonite Armor - armour

Pulsejet Siphon - engine equivalent to Mk VI Nuclear

Transdimensional Displacement Pod - jump drive

Stellar Leech - fighters

Internal Cavity - fighter bay? fuel tankage?

Stellar Leech = System Beacon (There is a Beacon in the system the Herald appeared)
