Day 1 - Guardian

[08/06/2022]

During the fourth return, I found several new features that I haven't seen since the Year 2021.

· New feature to look at DOCKING AREA.

· Pop-up window to advise players.

· AGREEMENT MANAGEMENT to see the contracts in the DAWN EXPLORATION AGREEMENT and the INDIVIDUAL RATING AGREEMENT offering a new type of currency currently unknown in its value.

· A SYSTEM CHATBOX that records the following events with the USER, including Operations, Construction, Combat, Research, Mining Reports, etc.

· DAWN FUNDING SCHEME has added a new WEEKLY LIMITS MISSION of Quest Completion and PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED MISSION for Facility Construction.

· Level system for the UNION via donations of the members, which is used to determine the max number of members a UNION can hold.

Passing by the info dump above, I've removed the tutorial and set my goals the moment entering into this new System - Camelopardalis 135.

Firstly, I must find a suitable UNION to be under.

Having a very basic understanding of Infinite Lagrange, teamwork is an absolute necessity for the progression of the game and for surviving till the end. Conquering cities, controlling territories, and preparing the next PHASE requires a UNION, a team to work together.

Secondly, reach EXPANSION 6 as fast as possible to start the production line for [CAS066 - Generic Cruisers] or CAS Cruisers for short.

Explanation Time!!

SHIPS are required for combat like defeating Space Pirates, collecting resources, trading, and protecting your own base. The only method of producing SHIPS requires BLUEPRINTS. And BLUEPRINTS can only be attained through FILES, which is all RNG BASED on what BLUEPRINT you want to get.

So, as a newbie server jumper and gamer, I have a good understanding that my RNG is garbage.

To gain a higher chance of survival and sufficient power to complete QUESTS and kill enemies, my only option early into the game is via leveling up quickly. The CAS Cruisers is a SHIP that all players get, acting like a decent tank and DPS that is welcoming!

At the start, I have chosen to occupy Region 5 at the new System Camelopardalis 135 and entered into an already existing UNION called Guardian.

Its current status at [UTC 13:45:00]:

UNION: Guardian

LEVEL: III

MEMBERS 48/50

PROSPERITY 5707

CREATED IN REGION 5

LANGUAGE ALL LANGUAGE

SPACE STATIONS 0

OCCUPANCY 0%

Apart from the Guardian, there are currently 7 UNIONS active on the first. Information is updated at [UTC 13:30:00]:

· Guardian

· 星系 [Galaxy]

· Liberation

· 殞雷 [Thunder]

· 破風 [Breaking Wind].

· 風和輕工 [Fenghe Heavy Industry] / [Wind & Light Industry]

· Tangos

· 年后 [Years Later]

~ Note: names are via game translations, so there may be mistranslations, I apologize in advance.

At the current moment, the Guardian is still leading both in terms of MEMBERS and PROSPERITY, allowing greater momentum in the recruitment process and leveling up the UNION.

But the situation is to be handled properly to take full advantage of this opportunity and the existing UNIONS are still to be paid attention to.

It was also surprisingly lucky of me to be able to attain a BLUEPRINT for the [Mare Nubium – Light Landing Ship] – outstanding in terms of SIEGE CAPABILITY // GRADE: A.

I assume that it will be effective for City Capture OPERATIONS or simply base attacks. It seems cheap and strong for Siege Operations, though I need to do more research about it.

I was successful in starting EXPANSION 3 on the first day, gaining a tremendous start and the research for the [AC721 - Heavy Logistic Destroyer] has been completed.

It's a little unfortunate that I couldn't start the production line for the AC721 Destroyers, but with half a day, I think my progress was decent enough.

Though I do have some regrets about buying the DAWN FINANCIAL PLAN. Like, why could I not wait more patiently to get the 1000 Proxima Coins I was in a rush as well and bought the 600 one. It was a comparison between a 250% to a 320% return of Proxima Coins. But anyway, I can prepare it later on once the first 15 days are done.

Moving to the situation of the Guardian.

The UNION doesn't seem to have many veteran players, which is just a little worrying. The UNION Leader Rico was able to recruit an active player, CPT Hook, and a New player, AG JP, is another veteran player, in which the former is in PHASE 3 while the latter has advanced to PHASE 4.

It has been a long time since I played and only have the basics down, with only a minimum understanding. At most, I can organize and give tips to advise the players to improve faster and to not allow accidents into the City Operation, which by judgment need the minimum of our UNION MEMBERS to be at EXPANSION 6, producing Cruisers by then.

Thankfully, there are currently 2 veteran players that are able to help with their experiences in the UNION Guardian. Though while I was 'passively' assisting the UNION by adding in our FORUMS with the DISCUSSION, "Tips to get you Started!!", I caught the attention of the UNION and was promoted to one of the four [Officers] alongside CPT Hook and 楊威利 (Yang Weili), who has already attained the Winged Hussar.

It's likely the [Winged Hussar - Light Missile Destroyer], rather than the other types, that is the [Integrated Missile Destroyer] or the [Area-Denial Anti-Aircraft Destroyer]. But it's still a good BLUEPRINT.

Hah...

Whelp, there goes my plan to play leisurely.

Of course, I should've expected to gain attention by writing a metric tone of words into the UNION FORUMS of Tips and a Guide, though I was worried when I saw the 風和輕工 (Wind & Light Industry) recruiting in the STAR SYSTEM.

Whale UNIONS are a terrifying enemy to face in this game.

If I must, I can just ask [Leader] Rico to remove my position later on and pass it on to a much more experienced player, but the position does make it more convenient to mark in advance for our City Capture OPERATIONS and might as well enjoy it while it lasts for me.

UNION MEMBERS (Those who I remember speaking in UNION Chat):

[Leader] Rico is lenient, values the freedom of players, and is willing to listen to pieces of advice in the game.

[Officer] CPT Hook is shown to be a reliable, confident, and strict player. He has fought alongside an alliance with 3 different groups, leading 300 active players together in PHASE 3.

[Member] AG JP is a Japanese player and an experienced player of Infinite Lagrange. He has participated in a UNION WAR with the UNION called VORTEX/VERTEX, classified to be the strongest single UNION in the game. It was said to have experienced PHASE 4 to 5 by AG JP.

[Member] Agano has currently little impression on me. I think he is likely a new player. He was the first to give ideas for opening a Discord server to [Leader] Rico.

[Member] OSPREY and [Member] garlic931, both speaking in Japanese proficiently.

[Member] kadeng and [Member] 레에birth, both obtaining the BLUEPRINTS [CV-MO11 - Heavy Missile Corvettes] (Lucky...), with the former capable of speaking in Mandarin while thanking 楊威利 (Yang Weili), one of the [Officer] of Guardian, who commented on the BLUEPRINTS and got more than twice the Prosperity than I do...like what?

Note: Prosperity is basically what indicates how much is your resource intake.

SHORT BONUS #1

[STAR SYSTEM CHAT]

Agano: BLUEPRINTS [Carilion – Recon Frigate]

Agano: Good or no?

Ark Household: I think it's good. Very fast and has evasion.

Agano: Alright, thank you.

Ark Household: No problem.

Rico: *Thumbs up*

Ark Household: BLUEPRINTS [Mare Nubium – Light Landing Ship]

Ark Household: Got this so far. I think it's only good for a siege.

Agano: Yup, and it's cheap too.

Ark Household: True.

CPT Hook: That's the Legendary Toilet Seat, gentlemen…

Agano: Oh god.

Ark Household: I'm sorry what?

CPT Hook: Mare Nubium, also called the Legendary Toilet Seat.

Ark Household: …I see.

Rico: The siege power *Thumbs up*
