I've missed two turns so far for the same reason. Weekdays are taken up by work and then more work. Sometimes I can sneak in my turn first thing in the morning on Friday, but not always.

It's way easier than trying to track where everything is and when you move it. Most stuff is going to sit in the same place multiple turns anyway.

PDB are missiles. They're shippable. I think you probably mean OWP.
Again, they're pretty small and could be shipped disassembled in transports.

On a side note - the Aslan are NPC, correct? Why doesn't their empire production get added into the galactic totals?

Er, at this stage of the game that would probably work. That would end once another player gets to behold the glory of the Geth, of course.

They probably should be listed there. The Aslan are an aggressive NPC race that captured and copied one of my scout ships. Now they've wiped out one NPC culture and are threatening another. 

The only difference I can see from the Orion Rebels is that Aslan started as an NPC position.

So do it when it's convenient and send it then. Just because I get to it on Fridays doesn't mean you have to do it on Fridays. Do it on Sunday night and then turn it in. If you think of something later you can always amend it right up to the deadline.

'Cuz then you'd know what it was without spying.
Also, most of these NPCs don't last more than a turn or two so it's a lot of bother for nothing.

Just something else to complain the GM is doing it wrong.
If they were listed, people would want them not listed.

If you don't squash them in a turn or two I'll list 'em

No. That'd be a crazy amount of work. Plus, we don't really know what's out there yet.

With my current state of at war with the rebels it is almost imparitive that I'm able to see what type of manufacturing that they have and what type of production they can manage,

on a side note I know one thing I do need to do with them still.
