I influence and colonize. Discovery tile is a +6 Materials. I will take the resource bonus.

Holy Crap advanced hulls made it around the board.

Research Advanced Hulls

[Tattersail_]

I didn't see that one on the supply board.

You mean Improved Hulls? didn't Tattersail just grab that?

Yeah sorry the improved Hulls. No Tats grabbed the Distortion Shield instead.

Edit:

Stupid Hydra and their double research ability. I totally missed that he grabbed the Improved hulls as well....

Research Advanced Econ instead and Colonize the two advanced econ population slots

I got both.

I did it that way so that I only pay 10 science instead of 11.

Yeah I missed that you got both the first time. I've changed my action to

Research Advanced Economy.

Advanced economy is still available. Once a tech is drawn it stays available until it's purchased.

So by the end of the game there'll be millions of things available? Hmmm.

Only if they don't get gobbled up along the way.

And what is with you having advanced hulls and now picking up the sentient hulls now too?

I'm taking the turtle analogy to its literal conclusion

CF already got Advanced Economy. I am unsure whether there were two mind but if there was only one then it is CF's.

[Tattersail_]

Also I have a question, if I bought 12 money with 5 science and 5 Materials can this be done at anytime or would this be my go for that turn. Just so I know and can plan

There were two advanced Economies. So I'm good on that one.

That sounds like a development. You have to purchase them like a research action on your next turn.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Upgrade cruisers with conformal drive, flux shield and positron computer.

EDIT - cos my racial lets me do 3 upgrades per action.

[Khellendros]

Is there only one type of every development, or can they be purchased by more than one player?


EDIT: Never mind, I took it upon myself to read. Only one, gotcha.

The conformal drive is a one use item and you placed it on your interceptors. Also to put the positron computers and flux shield on your cruisers you need additional energy. So I assume what you really want to do is upgrade your cruisers with the Flux shiled, Positron computer and the Fusion source you purchased last round.

You should also tell D'rek where on your blueprint you want to place each item.

[cerveza_fiesta]

oh, I didn't know the drive was a 1 use item. Can I still swap it to another blueprint?

EDIT - found in the rules where it talks about this (p 7) but I'm still not clear on if I can move it or not.

Once it's been placed if you remove it you lose it forever.

At least that is my understanding of the Ancient ship parts.

I also summarized the rule in the Discoveries reference in the first few pages. You have placed the Conformal Drive on you interceptors, so it can't be moved elsewhere. You must keep it in that slot or you can remove it with the Upgrade action, but if you remove it it is gone forever. The Flux Shield you chose not to place immediately, so you can place it with the upgrade action. Like the Conformal Drive, once placed it must remain there or be removed forever.

[D'rek]

And yes, developments can only be purchased once (and for Tattersail, you can buy two developments or one development and one tech with a single action).

Yes, there were two Advanced Economy tiles on the supply board - now none left (tweve and CF each bought one)
