@SS

I was taking a look at your upkeep situation and currently you have 4 hexes influenced and 3 actions, you are planning on influencing Gamma Velorum but one of the actions you took was a pulsar action netting to total influence disks used this round to 7. So if you don't do another non pulsar action you would be at -7 for upkeep. Currently your money situation is 6. You sound like you will settle the grey planet with a money cube putting your income to 8.

So it looks like if you want to do another action this round it will have to be a pulsar action else you will be forced to bankrupt hexes again.


Yes. This is how I seen it.
I'd still have a colony ship to flip to right?

Yes you still will have one colony ship to flip for any of the three resources. Also FYI, it's your move again in case you were unaware. And don't forget to update your first page post with your last explore info and your next action whatever that may be as well.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

?
I only see 2 actions that have cost me discs.
Research and explore.
By the end of the round I'll have 5 hexes influenced.
That 7 discs.
My income should be 9 with my colony card. That right?

Well my first page is up to date on actions this round, but for my upkeep.

@CF, I'll be taking the ancients cruiser.

The VP aren't going to do much good for me, might as well go out with a fight.

If you noticed in my quote I said one of the actions was from a pulsar so it was subtracted from the total. Let me take another look at you upkeep situation. I did notice a few things that you will need to correct on the page one post. The cruiser has to stay on Spica as that is where you found it. Also you need to specify where you would like to build the cruiser. I'm assuming you want to do it on your homeworld but you need to verify that.

Ok so even though the pulsar system is used to make a BUILD action, the cruiser is not actually built there?

Correct. When you use a build action you can place the build anywhere you have an influence disk in a hex. If you find a cruiser or ancient orbital or warp portal discovery tile they have to be placed in the hex where they were drawn.

Also, if you pass after your pulsar action you will have an upkeep of -7. So you will have 2 in the bank after this round for money.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Ola CF,

I noticed you resolved action 1-2 for my grey Machanema, but didn't add the researched extra influence disc, nor subtracted that same disc from the excess three discs on the bottom of my player board.

For everyone's reference, here are the remaining hexes.

We have 4 left to draw.



I'm confused. I see 10 hexes.

Yes there are 10 hexes to choose from but only 4 more are allowed to be drawn. There will be 6 that are not used at all per the game rules.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I also notice that my movement action wasn't recorded either for round 3. It should show -5 on the map update you provided.

Talk to me gnaw, what do you have in mind? I haven't seen the techs, I don't know i therell be explores, you didn't answer about double ancient. I haven't looked that far ahead and made a decision. I could lose against ancient. Drek may go hostile. Ancient may drop in from hive. To many things to think about.

I'm still a noob at this. But I see it this way: if you're truly uninterested in me, you'll keep the rotation clockwise.

Well, if you're using your phone as a grenade then of course it's going to be crap! But at least you're not using a grenade as a phone, that could be much, much worse.
