House rules

• Reputation tiles are face up (so no unfair advantage to moderator)
• An image file will be placed here showing all of the hexes in the game, so the mod has no unfair advantage in knowing exactly which ones are left and what they look like.
• Once enough tiles of a technology have been drawn that everyone in the game could research it, any further tiles drawn of that tech will be discarded and replaced
• Player first in play order gets to "play first" or "select race first", which determines order of play. If the first person selects "play first" then the last person would get to select race first...and vice versa.
• Discussion happens in the post as normal, and moves are posted in the thread as normal, but each player must return to the first page and update his placeholder post with a summary of moves and upkeep at the end of a round. See format below.

Rules added along the way.

• If there is a major screwup by the mod during the course of battle resolution, and it is decided that the screwup significantly affects the battle's outcome, it results in a re-roll of the entire combat.
• Mulligans of issued actions are allowed up to the point where the next player posts his or her move

=====================================

Race selections

As I recall from last game, we select in order from top to bottom of the randomized list. Selections are made from the available race pairings. once a race from a pair is selected, the remaining race is removed from the selection pool. This is a good way to ensure a particular race is not played if you happen to not want that race in the game.

Race Pairs

Eridani / Terran Directorate
Hydrani / Terran Federation
Douchebags of Magellan / Terran Union
Pony Boys of Magellan / Terran Republic
Mechanema / Terran Conglomerate (white)
Orion Hegemony / Terran Alliance
The Exiles / Wardens of Magellan
Rho Indi Syndicate / Keepers of Magellan (grey)
Enlightened of Lyra / Sentinels of Magellan

***Note: Two race substitutions were made for Descendants of Draco and Planta, per suggestion in the expansion rules. Given that Keepers of Magellan are meant to be a multi-player race, they were chosen as fill-ins instead of the terrans. 2 new factions are the "Douchebags of Magellan" and the "Pony Boys of Magellan", though we can give them more space-ey names if they happen to be picked. Racial bonuses and drawbacks are identical to other Magellan races***


=============================================


Races



Terran (up to 6 players can play as Terrans - each Terran faction has the same capabilities and starting sector layout)

Spoiler

Although the species is still known as the Terrans, its different factions have long since left their home system and now call new, distant systems their home. After the wormhole drive technology was discovered, the six main factions set out to colonize the nearby systems, leaving the ruined and dying home planet behind. The Terrans have proven to be a surprisingly adaptable and versatile species. After surviving the near-disastrous First Contact and the subsequent war with the species they named the Hegemony, they have made rather steady development and are now more or less unanimously regarded as a reliable member of the Galactic Council. The main drawback of the Terran society, and probably the reason prohibiting them to rise to true greatness, is their inherent need to squabble and form miniature factions amongst themselves.

Advantages:

• Can activate 3 ships with one Move action (most other races: two)
• Trade Ratio: 2-to-1
• Starting Tech: Starbase

Other:

• Starting Storage: 3 money, 4 science, 4 materials
• Reputation Track: 1 ambassador slot, 4 ambassador/reputation slots

Magellan (up to 5 players can play as Magellans)

Spoiler

The Magellan are forever travelling between galaxies in their enormous worldships, collecting and exploiting relics of civilizations long gone. Their ships synthesize resources from the cosmic debris and are able to sustain the worldship during the long aeons spent in the void. Several Magellan factions have specialized in tracking the Ancient relics, looking for their source. Just as the Ancients are rising, the great worldships arrive on the fringes of our galaxy. The Council informants claim that the pattern of their appearance suggests that the Magellan are here not just to explore and exploit, but to seek a long-standing galactic dominance.

Advantages:

• 1 Victory point at the end of the game for each used or discarded Discovery Tile
• Revelation: the first time a technology track reaches 4 researched technologies, gain a free Discovery Tile
• Starting Tech: Fusion Source
• At any time, can flip an unused colony ship to gain one free resource

Disadvantages:

• With the Influence action, can only flip up one colony ship (most races: 2)

Other:

• Starting Storage: 2 money, 2 science, 3 materials
• Reputation Track: 4 ambassador/reputation slots

Homeworld:

• 1 science slot
• 1 advanced science slot
• 1 money slot
• 1 advanced money slot
• 1 materials slot
• worth 3 VP
• 1 artifact

Eridani

Spoiler

Epsilon Eridani, the capital system of the Empire in its heyday, was a sight yet unrivalled: whole moons – some records claim even planets – were shaped to celebrate the might and wisdom of the Forever Emperor. Their wealth was beyond anything ever documented. Yet, after surviving through what they call the Silent Era, the Empire has been reduced to rubble. The resources of the capital system have been depleted and most of their power disintegrated, yet the Heirs have not given up hope. The new dawn may rise in the uncharted systems.

Advantages:

• Starts the game with two random Reputation Tiles
• Starting Tech: gauss Shield, Fusion Drive, Plasma Cannon
• Start with a lot of money (see Starting Storage)

Disadvantages:

• Have two fewer Influence Discs

Other:

• Different Ship Blueprints: Dreadnaught has +1 Energy built-in (otherwise everything is the standard blueprints)
• Starting Storage: 26 money, 2 science, 4 materials
• Reputation Track: 4 ambassador/reputation slots

Homeworld:

• 1 money slot
• 1 advanced money slot
• 1 science slot
• 1 advanced science slot
• worth 3 VP
• 1 artifact

Hydrani

Spoiler

Never satisfied, never complete – the Progress are ever striving further. The Hydrans have long since embraced technology as their main interest, constantly evolving and augmenting their society and even themselves with new inventions. The speed of their technological progress is unparalleled among the Seven. Although very difficult to access by the layman, the universities and laboratories of Beta Hydri are held in very high esteem by the scientists species-wide.

Advantages:

• Can research two technologies or buy two developments (or one of each) with the research action
• Starting Tech: Advanced Labs

Other:

• Starting Storage: 2 money, 5 science, 2 materials
• Reputation Track: 1 ambassador slot, 3 ambassador/reputation slots

Planta Not a selectable race for this game

Spoiler

Even though they are by far the most different species of the Seven, the Planta have long been a steady Council member. Being a moss-like species with a distributed sentience, their intentions are sometimes difficult to decipher. After overgrowing most of the planets and moons in the Cygnus system, they seem to be content in just expanding their lush growth in new systems, fully co-operating with the other species, who mostly regard them as harmless companions. The Planta are phenomenal navigators, which makes them very respected in interspecies trading vessels.

Advantages:

• Can explore two hexes with one explore action
• Four colony ships instead of 3
• Gain an extra Victory Point for each hex owned at the end of the game
• Starting Tech: Starbase

Disadvantages:

• Population are always automatically killed by enemy ships

Other:

• Different ship blueprints - Each ship has one fewer slot for ship parts, but they have extra built-in computers/sources. Each ship also has less initiative.
• Starting Storage: 4 money, 4 science, 4 materials
• Reputation Track: 1 ambassador slot, 3 ambassador/reputation slots

Homeworld:

• 1 science slot
• 1 money slot
• 1 materials slot
• worth 3 VP
• 1 artifact

Descendants of Draco - Not a selectable race for this game

Spoiler

The Descendants are rumoured to be directly related to the Ancients. While there is no concrete proof on this, the statistics show that the survival ratio in the Descendant-Ancient contact is significantly higher for the Descendants than the other Seven. Hailing from the Draco system, the Descendants are a somewhat elusive species. While they are a fully recognized member of the Galactic Council, their Ambassadors still often cause discomfort among the other species.

Advantages:

• When exploring, can draw two hexes and choose which one to use (or discard both)
• Gain an extra Victory Point for each Ancient Ship still on the board at the end of the game

Other:

• Starting Storage: 2 money, 4 science, 3 materials
• Reputation Track: 4 ambassador/reputation slots
• They do not combat Ancient Ships. Are not pinned by Ancient Ships. Can place their influence discs and population cubes in hexes with Ancient Ships in them. Cannot claim the discovery tiles in hexes which have Ancient Ships in them. Will fight before Ancient Ships in battle order.

Homeworld:

• 1 science slot
• 1 money slot
• 1 advanced materials slot
• worth 3 VP
• 1 artifact

Mechanema

Spoiler

After a long and difficult process, the Mechanema have only recently been accepted as a full member of the Council. Although they have been proven sentient in every legal way defined by the other Seven, and the Auriga system has been assigned as their sovereignty by the Council, there are still occasional disputes on the matter. The birth of the species dates back in the early days of the Galactic Center, when the artificial intelligences of various species were allowed to integrate. The Mechanema are quite respected for their technological advancements – in fact, the basic Ship types now commonly used among the spacefaring races were originally designed by them.

Advantages:

• Can upgrade three (other races: two) ship parts with one Upgrade action
• Can build three things (other races: two) with one Build action
• Cheaper building costs
• Starting Tech: Positron Computer

Other:

• Starting Storage: 3 money, 3 science, 3 materials
• Reputation Track: 4 ambassador/reputation slots

Homeworld:

• 1 science slot
• 1 money slot
• 1 advanced money slot
• 1 advanced materials slot
• worth 3 VP
• 1 artifact

Orion Hegemony

Spoiler

The Hegemony originally hails from the Orion system, but their fleets are known to have actively patrolled the general volume since the early times. The tragedy that fell upon the Terran Federation Dreadnought "Juri Gagarin" and its accompanying fleet may well have been due to a grave misunderstanding in interspecies communication – plausible enough in a mutual First Contact. The long war that followed and their seemingly overwhelming military power gave the Hegemony their commonly used name. After the peace was established and the interspecies collaboration took its first steps with the creation of the original Galactic Center, the Hegemony has now been recognized as a benevolent species, and their past as a ruthlessly efficient war machine has been reduced to a historical side note.

Advantages:

• Begin with a Cruiser instead of an Interceptor
• Starting Tech: Neutron Bombs, Gauss Shield

Disadvantages:

• Trade Ratio: 4-to-1

Other:

• Different ship blueprints - the normally-empty slots are filled with gauss shields, ships have more initiative and there are built-in sources.
• Starting Storage: 3 money, 3 science, 5 materials
• Reputation Track: 1 reputation slot, 4 ambassador/reputation slots

The Exiles

Spoiler

When the Cataclysm Wars swept through the galaxy, one of the civilizations was exiled from the core. The Exiles were forced to live in the outer rims of the galaxy and had to adapt to the harsh void. They found their new habitat in the Orbitals, capable of supporting their civilization even in systems with low resources. The Orbital technology was eventually adopted – some would claim stolen – by many of the Seven, and while the Exiles still are superior in Orbital design, this causes friction between the Council and the Exiles. The latter are demanding to be considered a full member of the Council, so far to no avail.

Advantages:

• Gain an extra Victory Point for each orbital which has one of your cubes at the end of the game
• Starting sector begins with an orbital in it
• Starting Tech: Orbital, Cloaking Device

Other:

• Starting Storage: 2 money, 3 science, 4 materials
• Reputation Track: 4 ambassador/reputation slots
• Cannot build starbases. Orbitals which have an Exiles population cube function as Exiles ships - they cannot move but fight and pin like starbases would. Their blueprints are different from starbases. When they are destroyed in combat, the orbital remains but the population cube is removed to the graveyard. Your opponent draws 1 reputation tile per orbital eliminated in combat.

Homeworld:

• 1 orbital (either science or money)
• 1 advanced money slot
• 1 materials slot
• 1 advanced materials slot
• worth 3 VP
• 1 artifact

Rho Indi Syndicate

Spoiler

The Terran–Hegemony War (30.027–33.364) tore the Rho Indi sector apart, leaving whole planetary systems in ruin. After the war, shady individuals and factions of all known species began to gravitate towards the lawless haven of The Desolation, as it soon became known. These days the sector is controlled by the Syndicate, a ruthless faction whose ships have recently raided many unsuspecting systems. Their fleets appear unexpectedly, striking fast and causing fear and terror with their stealth attacks. The Syndicate are known to occasionally ally with whoever pays the most, but also regarded fickle allies at best.

Advantages:

• Start with two Interceptors (most races: 1)
• Can activate 4 ships with the Move action (most races: 2)
• No minus points for having the Traitor Card at the end of the game
• Pillage: After drawing reputation tiles following combat, gain money equal to one less than the number of reputation tiles drawn (ie: draw 4 reputation tiles, gain 3 money)
• Starting Tech: Starbase, Gauss Shield

Disadvantages:

• Two colony ships (most races: 3)
• Two ambassadors (most races: 3)
• Cannot construct Dreadnaughts
• Starting sector is worth 0 VP

Other:

• Different ship blueprints - No Dreadnaughts. Ships have higher initiative and have built-in Gauss Shields
• Starting Storage: 2 money, 3 science, 3 materials
• Reputation Track: 3 reputation slots, 2 ambassador/reputation slots
• Trade Ratios: 3 Money >> 2 Science or 2 Materials, otherwise 3 >> 1

Homeworld:

• 1 money slot
• 1 advanced money slot
• 1 materials slot
• 1 advanced materials
• worth 0 VP
• 1 artifact

Enlightened of Lyra

Spoiler

The Enlightened preferred the reclusion of the Lyra system, slowly expanding their elaborate Shrine grid into the neighboring star systems and subliming their minds into it. The Enlightened were only recently contacted by the Seven, when the edges of the growing grid were discovered. As the Shrines connect in the mind sublimation process, they form powerful Trinities that reshape the base manifold structure, allowing for significant leaps in the civilization' progress. The Enlightened colonisation fleets have reportedly tapped into the grid, causing minor warping of the causality continuum and turning the tide of several battles.

Advantages:

• Can flip an unused colony ship to re-roll a faild die roll in combat
• Gain an extra Victory Point for each shrine owned at the end of the game
• Starting Tech: Distortion Shield

Other:

• Starting Storage: 2 money, 3 science, 3 materials
• Reputation Track: 4 ambassador/reputation slots

Shrines: In the beginning of the Upkeep Phase, you may construct one Shrine on any hex you control. Shrines cost Resources. A Shrine may only be placed next to a planet of the same color. Each planet may only hold one Shrine, and each hex may hold several Shrines. Any color may be placed next to a grey planet. If you build all three Shrines of the same cost, you immediately receive the related Shrines Bonus Tile. Shrines of Freedom (cost 2) tile gives you all the abilities of the Wormhole Generator Technology. Shrines of Prosperity (cost 4) tile gives you an extra Influence Disc. Shrines of Enlightenment (cost 6) tile gives you 3VP at the end of the game.

Homeworld:

• 1 science slot
• 1 advanced science slot
• 1 money slot
• 1 advanced money slot
• 1 materials slot
• 1 advanced materials slot
• worth 3 VP
• 1 artifact

You don't have to follow this exactly to the letter, and you are welcome to pretty it up, but your turn summary should look something like this. The goal is that at a glance the mod (me) and any other player should be able to look through the first page and know exactly what's going on in the game (in terms of actions) without having to surf the entire thread.

Just a couple of things, I am on computer now. First is my money in bank is 7 not 6.

So

7 + 21 = 28 money - 7 upkeep. = 21 income.

0 science + 6 science = 6 science

12 material + 4 = 16

I don't know either, but I finished a tasting menu in a Warshaw restaurant I am so good I just know I could love Morghy in a distinctly non-Platonic fashion if only the hairy Norwegian viking would reprocicate (is that a word?) in kind, if it was not for the fact the alcohol was sponsoring this message. I will be home ansld able to play in three days (3 in numerals).

Help?

Feel free to ask questions. Like Morgoth said we are all (mostly) a helpful bunch. Unless there is of course a conflict of interest but then the others will step in and set you straight.

Are you needing assistance in picking your race? I believe that you pick after Tapper, If he hasn't already made his choice. I think I saw that he posted recently. Terrans are recommended as a good choice the first time out of the gate but feel free to read over all the different race breakdowns that D'rek did in the Eclipse two game thread. I think CF has or will have a link to the appropriate info. I think the Magellans would also be a good first race choice too.

[D'rek]

The key is just that if Tapper picks a strong military race (Orion or Mechanema, mostly) and points his hex towards you, then do NOT pick Hydrani, and point your wormholes away from Tapper as much as possible.

If Tapper does not pick a strong military race, you're probably fine to choose whatever.

Lyra might be a bit complicated to play in your first game.

Terrans are *always* a good choice. Magellans are flexible like Terrans too, but a bit more complicated to learn.

[Gnaw]

I'd say that that is sound advice at any time.
The Lyra look interesting.
And Tapper didn't make a choice so we're still stuck waiting for him to sober up?

I was thinking that the Terrans seem to fit my usual 'default human male warrior/tank' RPG profile.
We'll see....

[Solidsnape]

So I'll be pointing my worm away(?) from Tappers hole?
I got this right?

That is entirely up to you both literally and figuratively.




If you do pick Terrans you can look over the other races that are tied to the various terran factions if there is one that you absolutely don't want to have to face to take that choice off the board. Or if you don't care you could pick the terran faction tied to the douchebag or pony boy magellan race to leave the most options open for everyone else.

But you do still have to wait until Tapper makes his choice too. I think he is sleeping it off right about now.
