Yes, that might have been the better move, though I was showing marginally better odds with hulls instead of shields in the sims. I had figured for d'rek ditching shields in favour of hull and him keeping computers instead of shields. With the present setup, the tradeoff is probably pretty even.

Because if he has one ship without shields, any time d'rek rolls a 5 she can hit the orbital. And once her plasma cannons come online I think not hitting is slightly more beneficial than the hull.
Personally I'd have passed and upgraded in response.

That is what I should have done, of course. I was typing from my phone, while at work, so it wasn't entirely thought through.

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.

Fuck you twelve.

Well Tatts, if it's any consolation (and my math is correct) you have about a 63% chance of having another artifact key drawn next round anyway.

Now that makes for an interesting dilemma for Tapper. If 3 good (very useful to Twelve) techs pop up does he go CW to keep it from Twelve but make himself last?

I know right!!!
What happens if both the remaining improved hulls and the Conifold Field all are drawn next round? I'm guaranteed to finally get more protection from attacks or else Tapper could "take one for the team" and go CCW. Not going to probably happen but one can dream right?

Anti-matter splitter and/or CIWS (point defense) popping up would be a bad, bad thing for you though.

With a wormhole in my territory and SS looming with a fleet, I really don't need to make an enemy of Twelve. That's not even taking into account that his main contenders screwed up in various degrees. Add all that up, and why the fuck would I take one for the team?

/>?Provisionals are for wimps and sissies. I have a general ideological viewpoint I wish to pursue which I can leave with someone like D'rek or Morgoth.
