Going through the first page, looks like the discovery tiles that are left in the bag are:

3x Money +8
2x Science +5
2x Resource +6
1x Free Tech
1x Free Cruiser
1x 3 Mon / 2 Sci / 2 Mat
1x Orbital
1x Warp Portal
1x Ion Turret
1x Shard Hull
1x Flux Shield
1x Ion Disruptor
1x Jump Drive
1x Morph Shield

minus one of the above, whichever corresponds to Khell's ambiguous

3. EXPLORE south of Beta Hydri.
3a. Influence Zeta A..thingamy, collect discovery tile. Use discovery tile for VPs.



Is that correct?



I count there are 18 discovery tiles left. Khell received a free tech as his draw and took the VP instead. According to the list I've been keeping where you still have an orbital I have Ion Missiles. I think CF has two Ion missiles that can be drawn. I have no idea what is the correct items it's just what I have listed.

That doesn't make sense, each ship part discovery only has one tile. Anyways, I was just going off the first page, but I think I saw everything, so if others are missing they should be added to the front page!

Yes, I think that's right D'rek.

I totally forgot about the "ambiguous" removal of a tile. I guess it doesn't matter much. I'll leave it in to be fair to everyone. If by chance we get down to just 1 discovery tile remaining, we'll say that they're all gone. I don't think that's really possible though.

If it pleases, I will work on setting up the board for round 3 tonight.

@GP

Don't sweat battles with me too much man. We would both lose by fighting over the double ancient, and I'm playing to win. If you're vowing to follow me into the hex, then you're welcome to it. Khell doing the same unfortunately would earn him the traitor card if I got there first

@ALL

Please try to get your upkeep done and post any error corrections to the pre-upkeep board I'm about to put up. Also tally your score for the round.

@Gnaw

You might want to double check your upkeep. You forgot to add the additional money cube you gained from exchanging ambassadors with Tapper bringing your income to 12. So with an income of 12 added to your 13 in the bank you don't have to bankrupt any hexes to pay for your upkeep of -25.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Heh. Thanks. I'll check it in a bit; mowing the lawn and just stopped to check on mafia, eclipse, get a cold drink, and pee. Sadly, in that order.

What about supernova and hive rolls? On the latter, is it a single die or two?


It is still the Upkeep Phase, those do not roll until Cleanup Phase. Only one di needs to be rolled for hives since the ancients in one of the hives are now dead.


Shouldn't there be two rolls though? There are 2 hives even though one has no ships. 2 hives == 2 rolls. A 3 and a 5 for example. So two ships move from each hive, right? The 1 hive is empty so obviously none move.
Edit: changed the theoretical rolls to reduce confusing my question?

No. For each hive, you roll a di, and one ship moves for *that* hive only.

If both hives had ancient ships in it, you would roll two dice and get, let's say, a 2 and a 6. Then one ship would move out of the first hive (on the 2 path) and one ship would move out of the second hive (on the 6 path).

I like it better my way. :angry:. CF needs something to divert his attention away from that warp portal that was exactly the tile he wanted.

:angry: I know T man, I think I would be able to build another Dread next round so I can lose a Dread this round maybe attacking it and preventing him from having it, I want to know what he thinks first and how desperate he wants it.

What are your plans next round Tapper? Going in for the centre at all?

Edit. Just saw you cannot reach it.

Ok people, I'll post my upkeep today.

Any chance you're all just going to blow each other up, and make me winner by default?

I'll be making it up as I go. I think planning some defenses around my end of that wormhole that CF likes so much might be in order.

You currently have a fleet of interceptors, next round you can build another cruiser and interceptor. You are going to be very strong military wise in a few rounds time. So out of the two, (you and Gnaw) I think Gnaw should be more worried. You have cheap ships and great tech, Gnaw only has ships to build but no tech.

Ha....2 little comments and I've got you all in a flutter.

Don't take me seriously.

No...seriously.

Ever since you announced our divorce I've been sleeping around a lot. That leaves me far less time for this game, unfortunately.

I would like to go for that hex, yes. But at the moment I think I'm probably in the worst position of all those who are interested in it to be able to do so - so you can probably just ignore me.
