And is that a discovery tile on my new hex?

No.

I know you're rolling your eyes! It's just a victory point thing, right?

No, Khell, resist, the moment's passed and it's not even that funny! This is all Tattersail's fault.

It doesn't take a lot of exploration before you move your interceptors?

Yeah, move my interceptors straight to your orbital...dammit! Why is everyone better at this than me?

There is a reason I'm staying out of this. I'm enjoying being a spectator.

So what hex did EM build his Dread?

I am going to do that twleve.
btw, my dreadnoughts are superior to ordinary noughts right?

Noted and yes, they are (more initiative, start with gauss shields and have some built in power)

Yes, yes, draw a diagram for the 'tard.



Also, that's very helpful, thank you

For some reason I thought he was building it on the tier 1 tile.

@D'rek

I am off the computron for a few hours. If by chance it comes back around to me my intention for next turn is to explore NW toward Twelve (from the last planet I discovered SW of my homeworld) and if he would like, establish diplomatic relations.

EDIT - that would be NW of beta crucis

So IH is back. I'm thinking I should wait to see what he does before I do my action.

[Tattersail_]

After twelve goes I'll explore north of my honeworld please and colonize my science planet.

Yes. If we connect then I will agree to it.

EM, can you clarify where you want the dreadnaught built?

[EmperorMagus]

Mu herculis

Mu herculis

Perfect, thanks (that's the tier 2 hex, twelve)

[twelve]

Actually I think I'm going to research this turn.

What would work better against the advanced hulls, Plasma cannons or Gauss shields?

I'm afraid to get the cannons because he can just grab the shields but if I grab the shields it will take a lot more hits to destroy.

[Imperial Historian]

Probably a really bad idea, but move my interceptor to the tile with the ancients.

Let's see what you've got.

CF you really need to take some of twelves ancients off him!

[twelve]

I've got a meeting so I'm going to be out for a while.

Alliance, IH?

[D'rek]

Sigh... it didn't have to be like this, IH.

Twelve, do you still want to ally and bring dreadnaughts over here? If so, building and moving before you research may be the better option as it doesnt allow IH much time to counter whatever you research.

(or, on second thought, get the plasma cannons now and I'll get the other, denying them to IH, since he can flip two colony ships to research it on his turn)

Okay I'm back....

D'rek I'm not against an alliance but I had plans on taking out the two ancient tiles this go around and am going to stick to it. I was just bluffing hoping that the threat of having his homeplanet invaded would keep IH from attacking that Tier I tile before you had a chance to do it.

Unfortunately he called my bluff.

Research Gauss Shields

Alliance, IH?

We can do but honestly it probably isn't in your best interest right now, if I was you I'd wait until this little duel plays out, if i get knocked out you don't want to be stuck in an alliance with me dragging your score down. Most you could contribute would be an unupgraded cruiser, and probably isn't worthwhile for you

I know, but this will be fun

We can still be friends, just not if you try and take that tile.

Twelve be aware you are very short of actions if you mean to cross the map this turn with 2 dreads (that would require 3 actions to reach me, so with a research and upgrade that is 5 actions), assuming you get an alliance with CF(don't do it! Take his ancients) and trade your research for money, you can just about afford to get plasma cannons, upgrade, and cross the map, but you'll only have one plasma cannon on your dread. Gauss shields gives you a bit more leeway, but marginally worse odds. Plasma cannons are the more valuable tech in the long run, and you probably have more competition for them (I'm shocked EM didn't pick them up)

Personally if I was you I wouldn't attack me, as you would lose your shot at the ancients, which are a lot more valuable long term than your chance of eliminating me (which will gain you zip long term). But i kindof hope you do.

[twelve]

@IH

You must have missed my last post. I was totally bluffing. I agree with your analysis of it not really worth attacking you right now but I was hoping it would give you pause to help D'rek out.
