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.

Flagritz Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 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.

I have the Gosht-Kohr as #2296, but I have been known to be wrong from time to time. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cestvel Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Hm, you are right. The Gosht-Khor are also under your stated number in the list I have. As that one was the only one over 5000, you seem to be right by #5000 being odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugal Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Since I only got two little drone cruisers sitting there, might as well see if they can blow that mystery ship up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

lugal Posted August 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 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.

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?
