ok then, I pass.

[Khellendros]

May I ask, on my player board, or rather, below my player board, on that bit where my unbuilt ships are, there are 4 influence disks. What are those for?

[cerveza_fiesta]

I think those are for if you research one of the techs that provides extra influence discs.

Twelve just researched one a couple of actions ago.

Yes they are for if you research advanced robotics or quantum grid and in your case the four cost shrine bonus.

Take the tile as VP, don't think I want a backdoor to my homeworld.

Drek I was planning to do it this turn but there is no reason it can't wait.

Out of interest twelve what was your plan otherwise?

I was going to grab the antimatter cannons and zero point source.

Ok, let's wait until next round, then.

[EmperorMagus]

I just noticed the last system I discovered is not influenced, so Influence and colonize with science cube please.

Are you using your "go" to influence?

You did put in orders to do it earlier:

Influence and use a money cube.

as for my explore ,some may see it as N , some as NE. basically the tier 3 bordering khell.

I just didn't notice/forgot to process it.

Your discovery is: Shard Hull

No, he did it with the explore last cycle. EM, please let us know your new action.

[EmperorMagus]

Pass then. I don't know what to do now and saving my resources seems like the best idea.

Edit: what use is shard hull? (What is the difference with simple hulls?)

Passacaglia.

Did you like your PM Khell? I wrote it descriptively.

Shard Hulls are pretty cool. You get to place a ship part that gives you 3 damage before the ship is destroyed. Add on Improved Hulls and with two ship parts you can sustain 6 hits before you are destroyed. It's a very good ship part.

[twelve]

So IH are you going to make a play for the GC this turn?

[EmperorMagus]

Well then, I place it on my dreadnought, replacing one of the hulls.

[Imperial Historian]

UPGRADE: dreadnought with 2 +2 computers (one over the +1 computer, the other over a hull)

My ships aren't good enough to take the GC yet I don't think, as they stand my dreadnought has something more than 50% odds of being destroyed before it fires a shot, and I need to hit it 4 times. I don't think the odds are worth risking any ships.

D'rek, since I presume play is going in the same direction, and twelve is last, I could bankrupt out of the wormhole if you influenced in first turn next round? That way no-one can steal the wormhole.

Sounds good.

It is EM's choice as to which way the direction of play will be. EM, care to confirm?

[D'rek]

I will Upgrade my cruisers blueprints - replace Nuclear Source with Tachyon Source and replace Electron Computer with Plasma Cannon.

[Tattersail_]

I will move the Dread into the tile occupied by the ancient (tile 204) Vega. Then Pass on my next go.
