KOTEC Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Prompted by recent posts bearing news of first contact I wonder how many have neighbourly contact, be that for better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 The Apshai, running just over a year (around 30 turns) has encountered two races, both first at four system out from HW. The Concordium, running since start (39 turns?) has encountered two races (one hostile), again both initially at four systems out from HW.

KOTEC Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Thanks for that WKE235. Are these contacts separated by higher level warps, say E+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 The Apshai have crossed "C"'s to get to stars where others were located. The Concordium have run into the two races at a total of 7 different stars now. The contacts with the NSI have been primarily through tough WP's (an E, and F, two one ways .. and one C). The other has ranged from B to E. Overall I've seen no real pattern to theory that higher level warps lead to others. Maybe if I knew the Homeworlds of all the others I could try and determine if some warp border exists. But it doesn't really matter. With MK III JSS and some explorers, you can get through almost any WP pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargonKingOfSlith Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have found 0 other player positions and only 1 neutral . My other empire just found its 3rd neutral, and spotted a ship several turns ago. I think the ship belongs to a dropped position because it hasn't moved and there has been no player contact. Unfortunately, I can't crack the warp point it is stationed at . The warps leading to that ship are D,A,C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boo Consulate Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 OOC: I haven't run into anyone either. I haven't even found neutrals. Our people are begining to think "aliens" :lol: are an excuss to justify expensive military contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEernest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 We have not encountered anyone, but from what I've seen some players have expolred over 10 jumps for thier home system and not found anyone, yet others have found people only 5 jumps away. I am currently jumping into my fith set of systems and i am very hopeful. I have encounterd 2 neutrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKO Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 We are in general 4 systems out, have not engaged with other empires, but have found 1 neutral. Kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sha'thar of the Gosht Kohr Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 The Hunting Sisters of the Gosht Kohr are six systems out. We've not seen aliens nor neutrals. The latter may be our fault, as we're not scanning every world; only those that look promising for colonization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuth Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Depending on the direction, we've scanned from 3 systems out to 8 systems out. Have found 7 Neutals so far but not done scanning all the planets yet Now stop hiding from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternusIV Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 It took a while....around 30 turns....it seems like 8 systems apart from homeworld to homeworld is the average? I remember that it felt like forever (over a year) and I guess that is a long time. Hang in there -- for those around since the start, I'm guessing you are just really unlucky or surrounded by a couple of dropped systems. Considering the number of paths possible from any given direction, its feasible that some of you may be passing each other in the night.
