The aim will be to create military ships using the cutting edge of our technology.
First step is to create missiles that have as high as possible chance of hitting craft at speeds of 6000 km/s plus.
The missile design is called the Deathbringer and has stats as follows:
Missile Size: 2 MSP (0.1 HS) Warhead: 1 Armour: 0 Manoeuvre Rating: 12
Speed: 22000 km/s Endurance: 21 minutes Range: 28.3m km
Cost Per Missile: 1.0324
Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 264% 3k km/s 84% 5k km/s 52.8% 10k km/s 26.4%
Materials Required: 0.25x Tritanium 0.5574x Gallicite Fuel x628.25
Development Cost for Project: 103RP
I also need to create size 2 missile launchers and magazines which need to be armoured based on the tips from the forum.
The best missile launcher design based on current tech is:
Maximum Missile Size: 2 Rate of Fire: 20 seconds
Launcher Size: 2 HS Launcher HTK: 1
Cost Per Launcher: 12 Crew Per Launcher: 20
Materials Required: 3x Duranium 9x Tritanium
Development Cost for Project: 120RP
The following magazine is also designed:
Capacity: 110 Internal Armour: 2.62 HS Explosion Chance: 20
Magazine Size: 10 HS Magazine HTK: 8
Cost: 65.72 Crew: 15
Materials Required: 28.22x Duranium 0x Neutronium 37.5x Tritanium
Development Cost for Project: 657RP
The first new ship design is a Missile Cruiser designed to sit at potentially hostile jump point and monitor for any enemy activity.
This will be in a fleet with a command ship and some Anti-Missile ships. The fleet composition will be as follows:
Command Ship Fleet Leader (Role to coordinate attacks and monitor jump point activity):
Sunstrike class Command Ship 4950 tons 376 Crew 705.4 BP TCS 99 TH 320 EM 0

The first fleet will be tasked to keep a close eye on the Tau Ceti jump point.
The geo team on Triton have found a fantastic 200,000 tons of Duranium so we are definately okay for this mineral for the forseeable future.
In July 2040 the decision is made to explore at least two systems away from Sol. The first system due for a survey is Luyten 726-8 which was partially explored in the past.
On the 1st of November Kai Riley is given the role of Sector Governor with the following bonuses of Mining 15%, Shipbuilding 20%, Pop Growth 25% and Terraforming 20%.
A new jump point is discovered on the 10th of November 2040.
To allow the survey team to move forward in it's current survey of local systems a design is created for a tanker and maintenance supply this will be a commercial ship with a jump engine.
This is the design:
Gormus class Replenishment Ship 15600 tons 264 Crew 461.8 BP TCS 312 TH 400 EM 0
1282 km/s JR 2-25(C) Armour 1-55 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 1 PPV 0
Maint Capacity 8019 MSP Max Repair 56 MSP
JC22K Commercial Jump Drive Max Ship Size 22500 tons Distance 25k km Squadron Size 2

Fuel Capacity 400,000 Litres Range 512.8 billion km (4629 days at full power)
This design is classed as a commercial vessel for maintenance purposes
On the 2nd of March 2041 the survey of Luyten 726-8 completes and only one unexplored jump point is discovered. This jump point is explored and leads to Gliese 892. This system is also devoid of any colonisable planets the lowest colony cost is 10.52.
On the 30th of June 2041 the geosurvey of Luyten 726-8 completes with the following results:

On the 15th of July 2041 Kai Riley makes the decision to colonise Luyten 726-8 A II and the Hercules freighters start transporting infrastructure to build up a small colony. The cost is 404 infrastructure per million population.
Sarah Taylor is assigned as the Governor of Luyten 726-8 A II as she is the only applicant with a terraforming bonus which will come in handy later.
On the 10th of September the first unexplored jump point is found in the Gliese 892 system. A second one is discovered on the 29th of December.
On the 9th of January 2042 the design is completed for the area defence craft:

Research into the field of jump gates also begins on the 9th of January. What an eventful day a third jump point is found in Gliese 892.
A fantastic breakthrough is made on the 14th of February 2042 ion engine tech research is completed all ships will ultimately be refitted with this new faster more efficient engine.
On the 30th of August 2042 the eighth new system is discovered this system is called Kruger 60 and still no really good colonisable systems.
The geosurvey of Gliese 892 completes on the 10th of September 2042 the results are as follows:

It's now the 1st of January 2043 and all ships are in the Sol system awaiting a refit to the latest designs. Further exploration is planned and also a scout mission to Tau Ceti to see what the situation is with our potential alien neighbours. This will take place once we complete research on jump gate construction. The protection level on Earth is now 504 and we have plenty of missiles so things seem to be looking fine at the moment but who knows what the future might hold.....
Thanks for reading hope it's enjoyable and helps in some small way. The more I play this game the more amazed I am with the scope and sheer fun.
