Why would Twelve take your homeworld?

Yes, you'd be in a bit of a base-race. Not the best way to win as you'd both damage each others' economy and leave each other weakened with a potential rival directly south. We could make a little handshake agreement to go after Delta Corvi while you assault from the other side.

All this cold-war play is kind of stalling the action here.

What you think about that Twelve?

I will definitely attack D'rek. It's just what way I want to attack her. She can only build two cruisers. I'm thinking of splitting my dreads up, one to go after her where she is and the other to go for Vega. Or just smash through vega and take her homeworld too. I'm going to go for it this round, I Will depopulate each and every hex I got to destroy her. Come after me D'rek?

Threaten me D'rek?

I am going to wipe you out drek, upgrades going to keep on going. I am going to build until I can't. Move until you are dead and win this war!

Ok

I just realized IH pretty much is forcing Twelve to cannon play now. Missiles are officially useless in that fight.

The AM cannons and splitters mean he can pretty much wreck everything in the GC with a single salvo if our initiative advantage doesn't get rid of his dreads in the first round of combat. He also has enough actions to build, upgrade and move some AM cannon/splitter cruisers into the mix as well.

Given that sitting there and defending is for sissies, what do you want to do Twelve? Commit to a full frontal on IH or attempt to slip in the back door as a distraction?


....hurr hurr hurr

[cerveza_fiesta]

sorry for the holdup, it does affect what I want to do with this action somewhat.

[Khellendros]

Don't worry CF, I laughed at your entendres too


I think D'rek may have driven Tatts a little over the edge...I'd be worried if I was D'rek. Tatts doesn't have a plan. He just wants to see the galaxy burn.

[Tattersail_]

Exactly. Next game I have a plan. this game I'm terrified of drek

[Tattersail_]

Drek would you prefer to leave me alone?

[EmperorMagus]

Is it my action?
If It is Sorry I can't give an action right now. I MAY have a concussion.

@Khell,

oh sorry...misunderstood. I thought you had moved a ship to the far northeast warp portal hex and that it might be a move to block our entry via that route or to sneakily attack before I could get a ship in place to block you. I see now your intentions were not aggressive at all and I apologize for my harsh words. I too have no ill intentions toward your civilization unless provoked.

@ Tats,

Don't let that interceptor deter you. You should probably do a build anyway to ensure victory and establish some staying power in Vega cos god knows you've got the materials for it. If you, say, built a dread and an interceptor, then left 2 interceptors in your system threatened by D'rek's interceptor, then you'd be set and her ship would be trapped. Plus immediate influence and colonization of Vega would net you 2 moneycubes and a materialcube. I can't be arsed to do all the calculations but it seems viable and any deficit could be made up with material conversions if absolutely necessary.

@ Twelve,

This time around the board leaves me with a quandary with what to do. I can put an interceptor through the warp portal right now and reinforce it with ships from my build action. Those ships could stay there and chill out until next phase, allowing me to influence and occupy the sector, or they could continue to move and try to do some economic damage to IH. (Khell...no intention on swinging south, no worries).

Thing is I'd probably have to do it now to take full advantage, and could probably use some support from your ships. Do you want to try a sneak assault?

Alternate option might be to go for Drek's lightly defended Delta Corvi, but would require a heavier commitment on our part to keep the hex afterward.

Sorry about the delay. I had training that I forgot about and it went longer than I expected.

CF

I'll let you lead the assualt and I will have your back. I'm trying to decide if I should throw antimatter cannons on my Dreads or upgrade my interceptors with source and drives. It all really depends on who we are attacking. Right now you want to make a push against IH and/or D'rek and I would be totally down with either. If you move backdoor into IH's territory, preferably his homeworld, that would force him to choose where to defend and improve our chances of defeating him. I have been eyeing the warp portal hex as well for backdoor assaults as well but I didn't want leave the center with just two starbases and a handfull of interceptors agaisnt IH.

With Tats working on D'rek we can take the fight to IH and put some serious hurt on their aliance. My only concern is the two dreads that EM has at your border. If you had some starbases to defend I would feel better about attacking north. But I'll follow whereever you lead.

Attack someone and I'll back you up even if we get fucked by a flanking maneuver.

Okay I can throw cannons on my dreads and can commit 5 antimatter cannons into the fight. 3 cruisers and 2 dreads. If you swing around to his back side He'll have to do the builds in his homeworld. Like you said my missles are worthless. If I could do yet another upgrade I could put 2 antimatter cannons on my dreads but that will just have to wait until next round if needed.

Nothing important.
Just a Sensei showing people how to do things correctly, By making them to do it on me. Am probably alright since worst of the nausea has passed.

[twelve]

CF I'm thinking of building my cruisers in Beta Sextantis. It gives me the most flexibility. I can reach the GC, IH and D'reks homeworld from there. What do you think?

Of course! I just really wanted Vega, and then was hoping the last discovery would be the ancient orbital (it was like a 15%) chance. And then KHELL STOLE MY ARTIFACT KEY YOU MONSTER

...ahem

But yes, right now I would much rather spend my materials on orbitals for more science than on war.

Oh no! Space hug?! Take whatever time you need EM and go see a doctor or something!

[cerveza_fiesta]

yes. I like that idea.

Research QUantum grid for 6 science plus 4 extra from money/materials conversion.

Wow, yeah, 4 artifacts, you could have done some damage with that
