Does someone want to PM EM a reminder? I don't think he's checked in since the first page...

No need. I'm here. Finally free.

Explore towards Khell.
Khell i would like to establish diplomatic relation first, then an alliance if you still want it.

You uncover sector 203:

Number of downloads: 0

There will be two Ancient Ships in it, and a discovery tile. You can't influence the hex right away because of the Ancients. If you want, you can discard it but your action will still be over.

If you keep it, how do you want to orient it?

Furthermore, you need to discard one population cube from any of your tracks.

Does my cruiser have a chance of fighting those two ancient ships?
I will still keep it.It's too good to pass.(If i' wrong tell me please.)
Discard a money cube. Everyone says I will need money.

Edit: and rotate it twice to left.(or 120 degrees.)

No, or at least not yet. You'll probably want to get at least one more cruiser to attack them with, 3 total would be even better. Or get some tech to upgrade them with, like plasma cannons.

That's a matter of opinion, I guess - there's both ups and downs. But generally keeping it can be good - you have lots of room to expand around it, and with it between you and Khell you are probably more likely to be able to get it quickly than he is, and once you do get it you get a reputation tile, a discovery and a good hex.

Very nice tile!

Updated the map and Orion/Lyra boards on the first post - double check that everything is right. Khell can still re-orient, influence and colonize his tile if he wills it.

edit: or not, hang on... okay there we go

Once you clear the ancients that is. I think in the other Eclipse game Morgoth messed up and only put one ancient on this tile that and the tier I double ancient tile as well. I think it was the right choice to keep for EM.

I don't think so - I think we just never got this hex in the last game (since we started in ring 2, there were only 6 Tier 2 hexes drawn)

Oh, You are right about the Tier II tile, though he didd mess up tile 104 Arcturus. He only put one ancient on it instead of two. STD had an easier go of it than he would have otherwise.

[Khellendros]

Can I have my uncovered hex oriented so that it has wormholes at north, north-west, south-west, and south-east please (or, to put it simpler, no wormholes at south and north-east).

And yes, I would like to put an influence disc down and claim the discovery tile.

I've pinged CF as he looks to be logged in to the thread but isn't posting. Can I just jump ahead of him? I'm just going to explore anyway regardless of what CF decides to do.

Though I bet CF will explore to his north like last time around. He got lucky he didn't get boxed out of the middle by discarding that last tile.

@Khell - noted. You discover...






wait for it....

You can get a free cheapest tech, or keep it for 2 VP

Sure. This early, it hardly matters, and even then it is you who gets any possible disadvantage from going earlier, so if you want to do it I have no problem with that.

[D'rek]

For Khell, link to supply board (I will get this in the first post eventually).

So you could take Gauss Shield or Nanobots for free.

Also, do you want to put a cube down on the planet?
