Terra Invicta: Tropic of Cancer (Global South), Part 38 - INSERT MOAR MISSILES GIF HERE BUT ALIENS

[Nov 2034 - Jan 2035] In Part 38 we're all about Federating up South America as we continue Africa merges (hostile and otherwise) and grabbing folks the Caliphate has claims on. We do some Caliphate merges to free up some CP. We also start to upgrade a bunch of Earth Orbitals to Rings, so we can upgrade a handful of campuses, but most important build some Spaceworks. Speaking of ship buildin', the aliens are up to 50 ships and are sending Brilliant Sky frigates and cruisers at us, so we're building up our PD. (And probably overbuilding up Athena ships, in retrospect!) Those Brilliant Sky missiles are no joke! I wish someone would redo this gif, but with an alien fist: https://tenor.com/view/kill-it-with-f... Fact is, the aliens have realized how good missiles can be! Back in mid-Early Release, they used to only throw huge wads of missiles late, and generally on defense. They have learned our secret! And, also in Space, the Kuiper upgrades keep coming. Next sesh, I think our science output will come close to tripling ... thinking we shouldn't have to shut much down to accommodate the huge MC cost.
