Oh, I also wanted to set up diplomatic relations with IH if he's still willing, but I guess I can wait until it comes back round to me again.

If he's willing still, I will put a money population cube on top of my Ambassador card to give to him.

We can wait until IH comes online. Making diplomatic relations is pretty relaxed, we can play so you can do it at any time. Not sure if alliances will have to be more strictly done only on your turn or not.

CF - what are you doing with the disco tile?

[cerveza_fiesta]

sorry, to be clear, I'd like to keep the ship part. Can I place it on a ship right now at no cost or will it cost an extra upgrade action? Not clear on that rule.

You can place it right now at no additional cost but it is still subject to energy requirements. So you can't put it on your dreadnaught right now as you would have 4 energy consumption but only 3 output. At a later time you could add it to a ship but it would cost you and upgrade action if you wait.

Place? Don't you mean install?

Player boards, supply board and map updated! the conformal drive on the interceptor wasn't captured in that update, but I've made the changes on my files. Khell, you've got shrines under your board now Still missing ships and ambassadors for some, but those are coming eventually.

Explore the tier 1 tile to the sw.

Again assume claiming it, orientate to connect to the centre.

Khell I'll open diplomatic relations, but want to wait until I see what tiles I discover so I know what other resource to take. Is that OK?

No wormhole to the SW?

edit: I will assume so, since IH left - correct me later if I'm wrong!

No probs.

[Khellendros]

My turn again, eh? Ok, let me do a bit of thinking and I'll post my action in an hour or so.

[Tattersail_]

If it comes back round to me I'll be exploring same tile

[Khellendros]

PASS!

[twelve]

What?! After one action?! That doesn't seem like a smart thing to do unless you are desperate to pick a tech first. But even still you could probably go one more round and still be the first to pass.

[Imperial Historian]

What he said. Really bad idea. I wouldn't consider passing on the first round until I'd used all my colony ships or ran out of money. There isn't a technology important enough for you to sacrifice your early growth for. Explore more, it can only benefit you.

[Khellendros]

My thinking was to set up a Shrine network during the Upkeep phases as quickly as possible. If I explore more, and put other influence discs on other hexes too, I won't be able to afford to set up a money-based Shrine most likely. Also, with the way the hexes have been placed thus far, I've pretty much got free access any time to the hexes north of me and directly south of me. I didn't see a need to rush.


If you guys still think it's a bad idea then I will explore, but it didn't strike me as all that shocking when the Shrines are taken into account.

You can always do Science and Material shrines first even if you don't get all 3 of one level before moving onto the ones with higher costs. I think you can have 6 shrines on your homeworld because of the 6 different planets. Plus to get to the 6 cost shrines and still be able to fend off attacks from advanced military units you will need a decent size income in all three resouces. To do that you need multiple sectors with planets in them. And you need to turtle yourself and you can't do that if other races are doing the exploring near you. Then you definately won't be able to do both shrines and defend.
