//REPORT//

We have made a new ship.

Ship Name: Vengance
Ship Class: Stealth Light Frigate

Ship carries an incredibly dangerous weapon to the Engi, a prototype artillery particle cannon that pierces all shields and deals large amounts of hull damage on impact.
The trick is to survive until it charges to full.
The particle cannon is disguised as the main engine.
Do NOT let the engi get their hands on this.
Ship has also been equipped with a scuttling device that activates when all allied crew are dead to prevent the Engi from obtaining said weapon.

As indicated by Vice Admiral Tharsis, these Engi, who have actually gone rogue, as indicated by Engi Unit Name: Random Commander who has informed me of the corrupted code inside those Engi.
We have also published a patch for the Mind Control system that suppresses the corrupted code, enabling the target to fight back until the unit either dies or the mind control wears off.
The patch has been published as an audio file, but you should be able to change the file extension in order to make the mind control usable.

Currently researching the Rebel Flagship superweapon.
Research progress: We can re-create it, but we need it to be more power efficient.

Also creating a battleship-class (two tiers below flagship, small flagship is the next tier above battleship, then flagship) ship.

zelnick here with more info on the queen she's not a engi she's a ship or really a large nanite organism in the form of a ship that produces engi in the clonebay even crew that are still alive get cloned.

i also found that the queen doesn't have a clonebay but a engi production bay and the engi homeworld is completly machanical but it wasn't always this way it used to be a human colony planet when the engi queen landed and the planet and its inhabitents turned into engi if this isn't bad enough the queen cant be boarded any non engi that hops on the queen turns into engi the exception is drones rocks crystals and lanius but i dont think we need to board her she has no shields and is stuck on the planet i think we could find a way to kill her nicely

RE: Engi Fleet Capabilities

According to our auto-scouts and hacking probes, the engine managed to completely deactivate all systems of the ship's of CBG 22. Battle footage shows all of the ship's in combat formation, then shutting down. The human fleet did not stand a chance.

Also, thank you META_mahn for this information. The federation might now stand a chance

Zelnick, can you confirm this? If so, we could end this soon

i'm sending a few shots of the queen she is heavily guarded and i cant stay here much longer my cloak is about to run out but this another thing to mention is that the queen seems to be quite formidable but to show she is real i will block the signals coming off the queen putting all engi temporally in sleep mode till the minute long jamming is over

i am getting out of here so i will dedicate this ship to your cause sending report
