This is where you may want to look for or send rumors about what is going on in the game. I would hope that Randy could send out some good ones from time to time, like highest overall tech level, highest level of income, number of races playing, how many planets blown up so far, etc.

Fleet scrambled communications were intercepted by a EGN listening post. Here is what they were able to decipher…
“Fleet 24 navigation computer reports destination star _ _ _3232
is a Blue/White Type A with a Blackhole Secondary
WARNING WARNING fleet is in danger of being destroyed!
The following ship(s) are listed as missing
PR5 ,PR4 ,PR3 ,PR2 ,PR1 ,SMS22 ,
SMS21
Fleet 24 moved to _ _ _323″

Sector coordinates have been deleted for security reasons. It appears that at least some of the ships involved survived the encounter with a black hole. EGN experts surmise that the fleet was probably moving through a stellar cloud at the time and was unable to see what type of star was located at the jump point.

The THULE FREE TRADERS starship BOONE18 met a messy end while jumping through hyperspace. It seems a midshipman at the navigation console entered a two letter sector coordinate that caused the ship to veer off course. She came out in the middle of a space debris field and smashed into something big. It brought down her shields and then crushed the hull.

Here is one to start- At least in prior games, Sector AAA had a lot of Ancient Civilizations that could be fought with and gain cool stuff. If you do take over an Ancient Civ that has at least one shipyard and one MC, you can build ships there, even high tech ones, if you know the build codes…
