@ D'rek,

Curse you and your mind games. I spent way too much time trying to figure out what is the better option and I've come to the conclusion that your suggestion is probably the better choice.


For now...

In the base game plasma missiles and gluon computers was always the right choice. Interested to see if that still holds this time.

A lot of the rare tech can be used to counter them - distortion shield, point-defence cannons, conifold field - but there's also new and improved ways to make a plasma missile fleet *very* strong, such as with the muon source or cloaking device.

My favourite would be to get flux missiles and make your own missile fleet that hits weaker, but shoots first against plasma missiles :veryangry:

I will orient 324 so it connects to my homeworld and to Lambda Serpentis/305. Influence and colonize with a money cube.

I'm coming Tattersail! I will break down those nasty ancients and we will finally have our long-awaited picnic!

So unless EM or Khell discard their explored hexes, there are no hexes left to draw for exploration.

The last undrawn-hex (which is not used because we are only 7 players) would have been 309 - a 1VP hex with an orange planet and an advanced pink planet. We also are not using Ancient Hives, of which there would have been 2 in the outer sectors, I think.

So Nasty, I was the only one offering you an alliance early on, everyone else wanted your blood. I guess I was expecting this as I am not a military minded species and all I wanted to do was research.
