OK, everybody, now that I've encountered the Orieni and must pause while I convert their ships, I've posted the diary and map for all to share. Enjoy! Any...
Charlie, Are we talking old or new (Crusade from TGM) Oreini? I suppose old EA and old Oreini would be a fun match-up. Your attention to detail in the log is...
TGM stuff is not available yet in the campaign, so this is mostly WoCR stuff, though the conversion will include both. -Charlie ... From: mwaschak@......
Good diary, Charlie! It made for a very good read. It is interesting to see how things are coming together, and the sheer size of the Earth Alliance after that...
One-third of my economy is generated by gas giant siphoning and asteroid mining. ... From: tyrel_lohr [mailto:tyrel_lohr@...] Sent: Monday, October 04,...
Well, I've managed to crank out the Orieni conversion. The new consolidated spreadsheet will all converted forces (plus recent corrections) is now available...
The early EA are going to have their work cut out for them if the Oreini are feeling annoyed and especially Xenophobic. I am wondering if we should make a set...
... asteroid ... Perhaps I am missing this in the book somewhere, how are these two things handled. An explaination or page number would be great. Thanks ...
Actually, they are items from another playtest campaign. I don't know if they will be in the Companion book, or not. -Charlie ... From: Bren Mayhugh...
Right. This is part of the detailed system information that Tyrel cooked up. For this example gas syphoning and other mining types are income possibilities,...
... These were for a campaign that I was going to start mid-summer, but that got derailed by my schedule. Basically, they are facilities that can be built to...
... Upcoming? I have thought about developing it further, but never did. I might just post them for people to take a look at and get ideas. Sad that the...

This just in. Vice Admiral Kierkegaard and most of the Exploration Fleet have been destroyed in an encounter with an alien race supposedly called the Orien...
Heh. I bet you're all anxious to see the diary. :) Some observations: 1. The bigger ships of the Orieni are scary, but their light units go like popcorn....
... I stay up until the early morning hours waiting for updates. I am addicted, but I have been getting information on my solo campaign together to post for...
Ask, and you shall receive. I've posted an updated diary. New material covers the four months since first contact with the Orieni. If I get a chance...
Cheap melodrama indeed, but well deserved! :) So Admiral Kierkegaard has returned, and evidently so did the Orieni. That's a pretty lucky set of scout rolls to...
It did take them three months to find Gamma. Considering that the Gamma system is the only way in or out of the Orieni Empire, they were bound to find it...
... Ouch. The rolls for additional jump lanes was that poor? Or they just rolled connecting to one another, and not to other unexplored regions? If Gamma is...
Tyrel, What do you use to make your map? That looks really spiffy. Much spiffier than mine, in fact. I believe I am developing a bad case of map envy. ;) ...
... Ouch. Well, Gamma is almost certainly going to be the Orieni's newest system in the Empire. Hopefully the EA will be able to contain them at Beta! ... Hey,...
