(1765.5,1817.1 ), Slapsticks.
Huntsmaster (Agiri, [1823.2,1868.5]) is probably the nearest person to you, but he's not easy to get to as he's on the other side of that fairly large empire to your south-east. There are a few other people close to him too, but I don't have routes to them on my map and I've forgotten who they are (oops), but he should be able to tell you
Your starting position isn't exactly the greatest one around. My advice for the long run is
(1) to build a big fleet (or a few big fleets) and send them north to take over those scattered few empires. That would bring you quite close to me, Kai, De-Legro, Vellos and Tom.
(2) If you don't fancy that (you'd have to get around a large empire) then your best bet is to ally with one of the bigger empires near you and take over a few of those single planets to your left. However, since 2 of those belong to fairly large people (which means they're after new players) you might be a little doomed.
(3) Sending an arc fleet up to somewhere near us would be a nice idea too, (1682.3,1696.4) looks like a nice place (quite a few planets around it) and it's close enough to the rest of us that we can help defend it for you. But new colonies start out fairly useless so you'd have to hope something interesting is happening whilst you wait for it to progress.
Silverfire, can you update the first post please? I'm pretty sure we've gained a few players since it was last updated
