what is the last hex (Canopus). I assume it is a discovery tile, but does it have any planets?

Disco tile and a brown planet. 1VP, no Ancients or artifacts.

[Sir Thursday]

When my turn comes around, I'd like to UPGRADE please.

Upgrade the empty space in my interceptor design to a Hull
Upgrade the empty space in my dreadnaught design to an Electron Computer

Thanks,

ST

Well unlike Ment/CF/STD I'm not going to cue up my action until IH makes his move! Feel free to advertise your future plans, though, Morgy

Ok I'm not going to explore then.

Build cruiser in 1b.

Money 1
Research 1
Production 4

Upkeep -5

Also as an aside, what is an artifact? You keep mentioning it...

The little grey stars on some hexes. The more of them you control, the more resources you get for researching Artifact Key.

Did Ment/CF confirm they were passing?

it should also cost less upkeep, I believe. shall we pass then?

The Director is pleased by the acquiescence of the Military Populists. The political alliance is bringing great boons....

Great and wonderful prime director, It is my humble opinion that we should wait, consolidate our gains this round, and begin building our armada in the new year. The Ancient nuisance is also our firmest defense; we surely do not need to build our military at the expense of all else.


Long Live the Directorate!


Long Direct the Prime Director!

All in all a good conservative choice. No need to waste all that orange just to get a ship we most likely won't even need until 2 rounds from now. Bank a few orange for a hectic round down the road.

Looks kinda like they are passing, and STD is upgrading, so on to me.


The presence of rusty old serpentine relics cannot deter us from progress. We will blast these Ancient ships out of the skies and salvage any superior technology from the wreckage.

Hydrani >> BUIld two dreadnaughts, one in each of my sectors adjacent to an Ancient.

1 / 0 / 0
Upkeep: -3

[cerveza_fiesta]

yes, pass.

Ok, then back to Morgy it goes, unless Tapper does a reaction. How does it work for that? Are we going to confirm if we're doing or not doing a reaction every time we go around the "table"? Or just if someone has one they had best logon at the right time and declare they want to react?

The last bit would be detrimental. I think whenever going round the table is fine, really.

It might add a lot of unnecessary waiting time, though. Maybe when people pass they should note reaction terms? Like "Pass. I won't take any reactions unless someone moves ships into any of my hexes." ?

Yeah, ought to be fine, too

No Morgy today... he's finally become a real tree.

Haha, yeah I ended up doing the same thing. Have only managed to have a two player game so far, but we'll see if I can find more come the weekend.

Maybe later in the game when moves are more crucial, it might make a difference, but for now with everyone generally keeping to themselves it's probably fine to skip reactions except in cases of invasion.

Or maybe pass with the caveat "I am not planning to make any reaction moves" and then there's no dispute anyway.

Does a reaction use up an action puck?

Yes

[Tapper]

I'll just react when one of my systems is being invaded (aka ships moved into it).

[cerveza_fiesta]

so who we waiting on now then?

Not sure who else has passed?
I was the first. You and Ment followed me, but I don't think anyone else ended their turns?
