added! welcome to the game. you'll be able to keep track of your empire's stats in the first two posts.

because this is a 4x strategy game, you've been granted ICBM and missile launcher technologies. you also have two active shipyards available as well as a few research stations set up. once we get more of an idea of the current situation, i'll supply you with some pointers on how to get started.

take your time to digest all of this information. and as always, ask questions and i'll provide you with whatever information i can.

First, do extensive logistics research.  We must know in which ways we are capable and which ways we are not.

Assess landing and launching sites in CEC sovereignty.

Current state of research status?

First, do extensive logistics research.  We must know in which ways we are capable and which ways we are not.

The CEC appoints its 12 research labs under the guidance of Dr. Lewis Nelson, a specialist in logistics and ground combat technologies. Dr. Nelson immediately begins work on researching new engagement theories and defensive operations, improving the combat efficiency of the nation's troops. He projects a completion date of April 18, 2025.

Assess landing and launching sites in CEC sovereignty.

The CEC has two shipyards currently available for fielding ships. Their single naval shipyard is Sheppard & Humphries Shipyard, capable of constructing one 7000-ton ship at a time. Their second shipyard, Miah Iron Works, is capable of constructing one 24,000-ton commercial vessel. Both shipyards are currently not fitted for any type of ship in particular, and may take some time to retool once a ship design is presented to them. Due to the lack of a proper government spaceport, ships are launched at the spaceports of private companies. Due to the heavy traffic, launches can be a hassle to schedule, resulting in slower cargo loading and unloading times to ships in orbit.

Current state of research status?

All twelve of the CEC's research labs are currently aiding Dr. Lewis Nelson's ground combat logistics research. The CEC is renown for its outstanding missile technology, but can be compared to a conventional empire in regards to most of everything else. The research facilities under the control of the CEC are state-of-the-art, able to research plenty of emergent technologies in under a year.

Er, logistics is not exclusive to combat.

Don't wanna be that guy, but you should look up the definition.

I meant to ascertain the entire logistical capacity of punching for space missions.

Also, are the commercial services for space travel?

oh. the logistics/ground combat category is all about efficiency and deployment strategies, but i understand what you were trying to say. what sort of research are you aiming for? there are specific (but kind of outdated) technologies at the following link: http://aurorawiki.pentarch.org/index.php?title=Technology and any scientist can research any technology at normal speed. the 10% specialization your scientists have are a 10% research speed boost

and yes, commercial vessels are designed for space travel. these are typically unarmed ships, such as survey vessels, transport ships, cargo ships, etc. even though any ship can fit any modules, commercial vessels are limited to not having weapons and can usually be much larger in size.

Focus on construction and production as well as logistics.
