I don't have any VP for technologies (yet) I have 3, 3 and 2 on the board. If they were all on the same row then I'd have like 5 but they are all spreadout. I think you meant to put the technology points on Tattersails board instead as I didn't see any points for Tech under his.

You're right, that should've been in the tattersail column of my spreadsheet.

Do I not get an extra victory point for each of my discoveries, or have I misunderstood that rule?

I think you only get the points for discarded reputation tiles not the ones you keep for VP.

[Imperial Historian]

Uh oh, potential gamechangers this round. Jump drive appeared, and point defence and flux missile up for grabs. Interesting times

Twelve is right - you get 2 VP if you kept it as 2VP, or you get 1 VP if you used it (ie: took a +5 science or placed a ship part) (except for the ancient orbital or warp portal). So you have 3x2 VP for the ones you kept as 2VP in the Discoveries column, and another 1 VP from your Hypergrid Source, which you used.

Doh, completely misunderstoood that rule, I took discarded to mean not used the bonus. Ah well.

Yeah but on the plus side (for me) there are two neutron bombs as well. I'm not so concerened with Khell getting the jump drive as he is the player with the wormhole generator anyway nor am I too concerened with flux missles as my Dreads have the best inititive on the board right now and I have the tech to keep it so. The Point defence is the one that could be problematic for me though. I see you grabbing that IH and making life a bit tough for me.

Maybe I should just grab some antimatter cannons to cover all my bases.

[Imperial Historian]

I think it's my turn, so unsurprisingly RESEARCH: Point defence on the top track for 8.

Ok, I will try to link the missing files here..

Hmm...what do you think about a plan to pick up neutron bombs and fly my interceptors around the board doing economic damage - especially in the eastern Alliance territories. 1 ship to destroy all pop cubes in 1 fell swoop?

Could do the same through the warp portal into Northern alliance territory technically.

[D'rek]

I will Research Neutron Bombs for 2 science.

(Leaving one Neutron Bombs tile left on the supply board)

[cerveza_fiesta]

ha, or maybe d'rek is planning the same end for us!

[Imperial Historian]

Quick Tats: grab neutron bombs don't let them have it

[Tattersail_]

I was about to do that. Hmm.

[Tattersail_]

I wanted them last go, which meant I would have had Vega.

When both of you start talking about nuking the rest of us... well it's a no brainer to spend 2 science to try and prevent it. Especially with Twelve being all plasma missiles and gluon computers - missiles being unable to target populations is like his only weakness!

And it's a cheap science point.

And it boosts my discounts for future tech.

@d'rek

Thanks for doing my upkeep, I wasn't just being lazy, I was waiting on an answer about the rules.

Was it an option for me?

Quote

It's always an option, just might not be a reasonable one. [/size]

my lack of colony ships makes it "not an option" right? If I was able to colonize then influencing could actually have been profitable for me right?

Just wanted to be clear on that, cause if colonization sans-colony ships was possible then I did want to influence.

@Twelve,


What havoc shall we wreak this round good buddy? We can continue to run rampant in EM's undefended sectors or take a breather round to bolster border defenses. I can see how "running rampant" isn't really encouraged by the setup of the game because you very quickly stretch yourself too thin to be effective.


with our relatively narrow borders we could probably turtle and win on research & other minor victory point stuff. I mean, the GC is sure to be contested eventually, but with your glass-cannon dreadnoughts/interceptors and my high initiative interceptors to back them up with 2 damage ion canons, whoever tries is going to feel the hurt in a big way.

CF,

I'm not sure what we should do this round. My previous plan that I had in mind might not be such a good idea now. I'll have to see how things play out the first round.

[Imperial Historian]

Oh and twelve, where are you placing the muon source on your dread? You can't cover a power source with it as your ship then won't have enough power, so are you placing it over your ion cannon? Or over a missile? I was very confused when I saw your dread seemed to have an extra part.

Well this is seriously crappy. I'm going to have to totaly rethink this round. What with IH grabbing the Point Defense, talk about a no brainer, and D'rek and Tats grabbing the neutron bombs. It may be a while before I make my move....

[Tattersail_]

Research Zero Point Source (put it in 3rd track) and Starbase

11 + 3 science.

The Muon source goes outside the ship blueprint. That is why I placed it on the dread.
