@GP,

Depends on if we finish the round today. If yes then I will try to find time this weekend (I'm out of town). If not then we're probably still fine to finish the round w or w/o Tapper.

Will wait to see what he thinks about the idea first of course.

[Morgoth]

Yeah, I can deal with Tapper's orders, if he feels comfortable with my grubby fingers finding their way into his virgin mind.

Has D'rek responded to Morgoths latest upgrade? Is she? Will she?

I will still pass

I think I've lost track of what me and Morgy have as our blueprints...

Spoiler tags please.
Poor Morgy.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Oh wow...didn't run the numbers on that fight. I am showing Morgoth coming out way ahead in the % of wins!

Never would think that looking at the ship layouts.

Although the simulator does keep telling me that the orion dread is an illegal build for some reason (it isn't ), so maybe it's omitting that from the fight.

EDIT

Nope, it's in the fight.

I guess I forgot there are 2 exiles dreads involved. Still, I had given it to D'rek with all those hulls.

Note, her chances improve considerably (like 15% better) if she swapped a hull slot for an e-computer.

EDIT EDIT

Actually, it appears 2 e-computers are optimal on that dread build.

Okay, I will also UPGrade, as follows:

Remove 4 Improved Hull parts - the ones with a red X in the image below
In the slots that have a blue star in the image, add an Electron Computer.

Can you move 4 parts?

[Imperial Historian]

Excellent move d'rek.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@D'rek,

Well. That improves things considerably. You've gone from about 15% chance of winning to about 60% chance of winning. Not the best odds ever, but a massive improvement.

@SS - confirm pass
@Tapper - confirm pass
@Twelve - Have you settled on passing now? I think that's what I read.
@me - I pass
@Khell - back to you I guess?

I don't understand D'rek's move. Can you remove 4 parts and then add on 2 in one move? And why would you take off two improved hulls and leave the spaces blank? Or is she going to do another upgrade after this?

MOVE interceptor to Beta Hydri. Move Cruiser to the ancient hive.

The Hydrans are coming home!

Yeah I though Morgoth's best move was to add hull to the Dread over the computer and add a cannon over the computer on the cruiser because I knew D'rek would counter added computers with bringing back her shields as they are a default part.

Yeah I pass. Also doesn't Tapper need to inform us as to the turn order before you draw the new tech for the next round? Since he is leaving for vacation soon (if not already) we should get that resolved soon.

[Gnaw]

It's apparently "poor D'rek"
I'd love to know if Morg planned that once she invaded.

During the upgrade action you can remove as many ship parts as you like. If you don't add anything back on you are left with the default ship part on your blueprint. In D'reks case she removed two improved hulls on her Dread to reveal a gauss shield and a standard hull. Same I think with her Cruiser. She then added two new ship parts over the default hull ship part. This gives her a shield to negate Morgoth's computers and also gives her computers as well. Morgoth hit rate reduces and D'reks goes up.
