Homepage of the starship Knjaz' Igor'

You have reached the home page of the Starship Knajz' Igor', it is named after Borodin's Opera Prince Igor (and obviously, after the Prince).

I'm a generally friendly and helpful ship, but have been known to engage in the occasional bit of inter-player combat, I was involved in the action against the Betelgeuse Empire, and spent quite some time beating on Flying Beak and BSL until I got dybukked. Hailing me is still a good idea, keeps me from getting bored and grumpy.

My ship is basically a warship, something of a long-range battle cruiser design at this point. (Although classifying TBG ships is harder than classifying modern naval vessels. Maybe I'll come up with some guidelines, and put them here. Suggestions anyone?) My main source of revenue has generally been blasting aliens into little bits, although I spent a far bit of time hauling mercenaries (which is suprisingly profitable, if you really work at it).

I recently joined FIST, if that matters to anyone out there. Even more recently I became galactic president, and was made fun of for not updating this page. so there. Got any presidential-type messages, send them to the address below.

As president, I'm responsible for deciding what modules get created each turn in the shops. If you have any requests, email me. Preferably with just one request. You can send another as soon as I fill the first, that's fine, but it makes my life easier not having to juggle 6 lists of modules from 6 people over the 36 turns it takes to get though all the lists. General requests are also welcome, if lots of people emailing me to build say, mediocre modules, requests for specific mediocre modules will be moved up in the queue. It's probably also a good idea to keep production requests separate from other comments/questions, so I'm less likely to answer the other questions and forget to keep the message around for the production queue.

And here, the data I'm sure you're looking for, the Presidential Office Of Public Information (POOPI):
