As a point defense a few turreted Meson cannon are currently in the research stages.
Also been researched is the military jump drive allowing exploration of the jump points. This research completes on the 29th of September 2030 and a design for a scout ship with jump capability can now be put together. This design will feature the latest engine tech.
On the 9th of October a call was received from Light Seeker 001 they had suffered a failure in one of there engines luckily they had enough maintenance supplies to carry out repairs.
The design of the New Horizon Scout Ship was completed on the 14th of October:

This design is classed as a military vessel for maintenance purposes
The Atlantis Shipyard was retooled to allow construction this was due to complete on the 3rd of May 2031.
On the 14th of November the ordnance factories on Earth where given orders to produce 300 Dark Shadow anti-ship missiles.
Finally on the 12th of January 2031 the gravitational survey of the Sol system was completed and only 6 jump points where discovered. Light Seeker 001 was ordered to return to Earth and await further orders.
In readiness for freight transport and colonisation designs where worked on for a freighter and colony ship commercial engines needed to be designed first though.
Freighter Design:
Hercules class Freighter 33950 tons 226 Crew 383.5 BP TCS 679 TH 600 EM 0
883 km/s Armour 1-93 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 1 PPV 0

Fuel Capacity 100,000 Litres Range 58.9 billion km (771 days at full power)
This design is classed as a commercial vessel for maintenance purposes
Colony Ship Design:
Barroso class Colony Ship 18650 tons 201 Crew 752.5 BP TCS 373 TH 400 EM 0
1072 km/s Armour 1-62 Shields 0-0 Sensors 1/1/0/0 Damage Control Rating 1 PPV 0

Fuel Capacity 100,000 Litres Range 107.2 billion km (1157 days at full power)
This design is classed as a commercial vessel for maintenance purposes
The commercial shipyards are retooled and one ship of each class is requested.
Disaster on the 24th of June Luke Bentley is killed whilst prototyping the new warhead tech his skills will be sorely missed.
On the 24th of November 2031 construction finally starts on the first New Horizon scout ship. This is due to complete on the 7th of April 2033.
A Hercules freighter completes on the 9th of January 2032 and Lieutenant Lauren Metcalfe is assigned command. The first job is to place some automated mines on Ganymede to start mining some of the minerals that where found a survey team will also be placed on Ganymede. Luke Ali is given the role of overseeing the mining operation.
On the 9th of April Scout ship New Horizon 001 is completed and Commodore Issabella Donnelly is given command we are now able to explore beyond the Sol system.
Designing the PDC has got me very confused so I have posted some questions on the Aurora forum and hopefully I will be able to complete it tomorrow.
Before finishing tonight I'm going to send New Horizon 001 through the first unexplored jump point. New Horizon 001 goes through the jump point on the 19th of December 2033 and discovers Barnards Star this is an M4-V Star and no other bodies are present.
Well that's all for tonight thanks for reading.
