Nova burst:

Worth either 1 VP (if not used at end of game) or can be used once at the start of a battle to deal 1 damage to every opposing ship.

So in last game, if you were playing against me with all 1 hitpoint ships, I would have been totally fucked.

EDIT

Page 2 of the pre-game thread has the scan of the pulsar tiles. The Nova burst is fully explained there.

If I'm not mistaken, then we have actions in up to Snape, now.

Alas there was nothing I could do with my 2 measly science points

GP and Gnaw would have had to trade resources to afford it, and Khell was unlikely to do a single research when he could do a double instead. That was what I was counting on when I picked Orion, as we saw in the last two games how well Orion did without it!

Not that there's anything to be afraid of, I'm a nice Orion to everyone except the ancients!

So, ambassador exchange. Anyone interested? I'm noticing Khell hasn't addressed me but the one time. Makes me nervouser.

You ignored my post asking this earlier

Yhat's because I didn't have a clue what it meant.

[Gnaw]

Are we supposed to make our own player board?
An idea for limiting the file size maybe CF. Use a white background with outlined hexes. Only fill in hexes as tiles accumulate? That horse head nebula pic eats up a fair bit of size I'd wager.

[cerveza_fiesta]

It is still huge even with a white background. Once it's converted to a jpg, whether the background is white or multicolored, it's about the same size.

D'rek says there are moves around to SS, but I don't see a move for Morgoth in post 1

So it's my action turn?

[Tattersail_]

So when do we know hexes we've drawn? And where do we see them?

Him and Tapper put in provisional explores, but didn't update their front page posts.

[cerveza_fiesta]

ah i see, sorry. I saw tapper mentioned that but not morgoth. Working now.

[Tattersail_]

Rotate one click anti clock wise so that Morgoth gets one pointing at hex he is drawing. Inf but do not colonise.

Yep, go ahead.

Also, folks need to say if they want to influence and which (if any) planets to colonize.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@Gnaw,

do you want to keep the tile? If so indicate wormhole orientation and whether you want to influence it to gain the disco/victory tile.

There are no ancients on this hex so it's a free discovery.

[twelve]

Solidsnape you also still need to let CF know which population cube you want to discard. Money, Science or Materials. As the Magellan you have flexibility in being able to flip unused colony ships for extra resources at any point during a round but generally it's always a good idea to have extra money. Without money you can't do as many actions. But it's up to you to decide.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Just so folks know, I had a quick offthread discussion with SS RE what to do with pop cubes and what they are for. I gave a quick explanation and told him it's best to ask in here since we are all nice and won't take advantage for the sake of it.

Might be a bit of a slow start as the newbs (including me) get used to things.
