Okay, state of the union... well here goes...

The Shadallolves were my first attempt at using a JoAT in a team game. I figured that the built in penetrating scanners might come in useful. Little did I know (or think about) how useful they would be; I think that there might only be about three planets or so left that we have not scanned at least once.

When designing my race I made the mistake of taking Generalized Research like I often do in independent games (so that I get the 25% boost in research) but which does not make so much sense in team games. I have now learned that in team and partner games it is not the best lesser racial trait to have as other players on the team can research the fields that I have expensive while I research the fields that I have cheap and we can exchange them. The main reason for this oversight on my behalf was that I have never played on a team where we consistently had a wolf lamb going on so we spent much of the time doing our own thing. Thanks to all the team players who have kept our wolf lamb site running. For the time being I am continuing to research electronics to improve the range of my penetrating scanners.

A couple of other things about my style of game play. I have never been one to watch my population levels on my planets. Thanks to the insightful prodding of Paladin I have been watching my population levels at all my planets this game and it has helped me to expand with more force than I usually do (often have very weak border colonies).

There are some breader planets that I would love to get too (Abrahms, Moltke, and Ursa Major) but at this time have to focus on other things. I have started to use my stalwart defender and frigate scout ships to take out some of the enemy's scouts and transports. There are a couple of enemy scouts that have started to penetrate our territory but I should have them hunted down soon.

Other than that, I am trying to help fill the gap to the SouthWest of my homeplanet and to that end am sending multiple ships loaded with colonists in that direction. In the next five years I should get a couple of extra starbases up allowing me to increase my ship production if needed.

That is where I think I am now.
