Thanks everyone for amazing game, thanks Victor for hosting!
After a long pause, I came back to Stars! I played with some race design from 10 years ago, rushed without thinking too much. Thought it will be fun to play with SS, but never actually built a single ship with Robber Baron Scanner and never actually tried to do big stealth attacks. It's a shame 
The paran0rmal
SS IFE + NRSE, NAS obviously
Immune G, -56 - 136 T, 17-37 R, 1 in 9 planets
15% growth
1000, 12/9/16, G not checked, 10/4/11
Weapons and construction cheap - rest expensive, start at 3 checked
Probably would've increased growth a bit, checked the G box, and "start at tech 3" was not that critical, probably ISB would've really helped.
2430
The start was really slow, 8th place out of 8. Got my foot in the center, started seeing the hordes of Bunnsy HE colonizers nearby, built some pest control No major battles, just growing.
2450
6th out of 8. We intersettled with Random a bit, never got to a big fighting yet, but he started shooting some of my ships, and it was just a matter of time. Unknowns on the right were covering their territory with mines and we just lived peacefully.
2470-90
3rd out of 7, had a few brief moments in 2nd place. Started cleaning up Random in the center. Tried to move to Random HW, but Fremen got there first. When Magic attacked Fremen from the south, I moved to take over Random HW from Fremen. No interaction with Unknown (AR), had my stealthy pen scanners on all players, but never actually found that information useful. It doesn't matter what you are building a thousand light years away
If I remember correctly, I lost some of my larger fleets to Random or Fremen (or both, can't remember), but somehow managed to stay afloat. Around 2490, fights started with Magic, but he seemed to focus on Fremen first, so I was left in peace for 10 turns or so.
After Magic eliminated Fremen, I was hoping that he will focus his actions on his closest neighbour - Pentaclevm WM, but instead he focused on me. Playing against JoaT with SS is also hard, since every d### chaff has scanners inside, so he can track me down easily. Around that time it was clear to me that winning is impossible, unless Magic got into the dogfight with Pentaclevm. This of course made me do some harsh risky moves, but I was losing my hope anyway, thought I'll just make it quicker. Tried to do guerilla fighting and bore Magic with MM to death, but he seemed cool. Build 50 or more of these, stealth spies-miners-sabotagers:
See you in other games! Regards from Lithuania
