@All

D'rek passes and I see a provisional pass on everybody else too.

@CF

MOVE - cruiser to zeta draconis


@Gnaw, back to you for action round 7 unless any provisional moves are made.


@ALL, again: If you are planning on entering diplo after combat, please update on page 1 what cube you want on your tile. For post-combat diplo, I have:

Orion + Exiles
Rho Indi + Hydrani



Machines and imperials as well. I'll update my OP here shortly.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

OK, for my provisional turn 7 (provided nobody makes a provisional that affects me) I will take one of the final 2 explores

@GNaw,

Ok with that orientation?

EDIT - south of Kappa Scorpii that is.

Result: Beta sextantis, which I will influence (albeit temporarily) for the disco tile. My discovery is an ancient orbital, which I will keep. Orientation as shown

Probably econ cube, but I haven't fully decided yet. Possibly moot if I lose/retreat the combat.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

See above for the result of my explore

EDIT

@D'rek,

Just post it as provisional anyway. It will be good to leave as little unresolved as possible when I do the combat update.

CF,

You also forgot to update D'reks board to subtract the 8 materials she spent on her Dread. Had me panic a bit when I saw she had 8 materials with a dread and a cruiser on the board already.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

If Drek agrees to relations, I'll be discarding materials cube. Maybe.

Well CF took an action on this 7th turn and you passed on your 7th turn you can do a reaction if you so choose before he passes as you go before he does. But you can only build, upgrade or move as your only actions.

OK, and I will pass when it comes around to me again (I'm broke anyway!), which ends round 2!!!

Since I have not heard back from Khell saying any different, turn order will start with Morgoth and go clockwise.

I have a little job to do in the yard before it gets dark but after that I'll resolve combat. Expect results in a couple hours.

Khell,

I'm not complaining. I get to go slightly ealier than if you went counterclockwise. I'm sure you have a plan in mind. Best of luck to you.



I know you weren't complaining. But I did honestly take a look at the map before I made my decision. It's what I want to do. Besides, not even luck will help me in this game...

Oh, I didn't realize you could squeeze it in after combat.

@Khell,

Diplo when I beat the piss out of these ancients then Khell? Might as well get the production boost right away.



Yeppo.

Ok, resolving combat.

Since this is my first combat resolution as mod, I'm going to make a rule right now.

If the results final results of combat are subject to a major screw up by me (e.g. miscalculation, incorrect addition, incorrect application of ancient priority etc...) and it is pointed out to me, I will resurrect all ships involved re-resolve combat correctly, using all new rolls.

Unless directed otherwise, I will resolve combat giving best advantage to players. If it's one of those iffy combat situations and instructions from players are insufficient beforehand, I will pause the combat and await instruction from players (e.g. player has a freak loss of a powerful ship right off the bat and might want to consider retreat).

I think that's the only fair way to do it. It doesn't give anybody extra chances, and it doesn't put me on the spot giving unfair advantage to anyone, including myself.
