      Not a bad read.

      Am I to take it that there will be a civil war eventually? Between Lal and the narrator?

        Pure gold. I like the atmosphere so far.

        My advice - keep it so.

          hey guys, and thank ya!

          As to the story's direction...I don't rightly know, actually. I've only played to 2152, and although there is much to write about (which is why I had to stop and "catch up"), it's too early to say for sure where it'll go.....I rather like writing from the perspective of a non faction leader tho....but a civil war could be fun, or an outright appointment or election....the hero card is always a strong one in ad campaigns, and as my main character said, "I love politicking."...

              Glad to have you back and, by the look of things, in top form.
              I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                        More good stuff.

                        However, I wish there were more authors and stories in AC Fiction other than Hydro's PBEM's and BAC.

                          Good to see you back writing smac, bro'

                          But what's happened to the chopper, mining laser and 150 ec's from the Unity's wreckage? I was looking forward to your explanation of how the miner survived for the 20 or 30 years or so since planetfall until discovery (or is he/it a robot? or maybe in cryosleep and awakened by your rover?)

                          Anyway - a good read (and the maps and screenshots are a great touch - really help understand the bigger picture)

                          G.

                              Hey all, and apologies for the 0.5 installment there...eyes got so tired that I couldn't finish the next bit, but I'm back from work now, and will duly get back to it! 'sides, I'm eager to play another round!

                              Odd thing, 'bout the Unity wreckage....here I was, all geared up and excited about finding the chopper, mining laser, and some comm fq's, and I found squat! I KNOW I got to it first, but there was nothing there.... Not the first bit of anything....*big sigh*

                              It was a bit of a disappointment, cos I was really looking forward to adding those elements to the story, too....

                              But, plenty of action ahead, and I decided to skim over the early years fairly quickly, since it's a lot of "rinse and repeat" work (found base, prep site, repeat)....but as I get further into the game, I fully expect that the segments won't gloss over such vast segments of time....
