K, so I'm going for the homeworld then or is somebody else interested?

You are. I can't bring enough ships over there to make it worthwhile. Though I still have a couple of ships for which I'm mulling over where they would best be positioned (but I can't bring them both to the homeworld, so...)

Tatts homeworld I'm hoping you mean correct?

[Imperial Historian]

CF if you go for his homeworld don't do it this turn, hit his other systems and tats and force him to build react or otherwise.

Remember you can reach the system on the far side of the GC.

With his current tech, if he chooses to he can just do a double upgrade and stick two conifold hull on his interceptors, you can't retreat and you'd struggle to beat it with missiles, and so he doesn't need to fire a shot, even one hull would be a challenge with 3 interceptors and you sticking with plasma. He's always going to be able to counter what you all do, so your best strategy is to force him to waste moves and hit him as many places as possible rather than in a position of strength.

Coordinating with allies...Khell, can you move in to block Arcturus and Tapper move in to block Zeta Herculis?

Otherwise he'll be able to get those dreads over and squash me.

Time to MAN UP EVERYBODY

[cerveza_fiesta]

You're right IH, although I had planned on leaving my plasma cannons installed, and moving more than just 3 ships there.

Is it not enough if Khell hits south and Tapper hits north? Somebody has to go for the homeworld and I feel like I'd have a decent chance even against high hulls if I throw those computers on too.

Hey. Have you been reading my exchanges with Twelve? The ConHull on the interceptors was my idea dammit.

[cerveza_fiesta]

The double confold idea only works if I don't install missiles. I can still put on gluons with my current power source, so they'd be pretty deadly...especially if he can't fire back!

Booo!!!!!

Don't help the peons IH. I like to see them flail about. It's very amusing. If you help them out then I'm forced to at least try a little (and I do mean a very little) effort into beating them.

Yeah I noticed the major flaw in the double hull thing too when gnaw mentioned it to me. If I had somewhere to retreat to then I might consider it but I don't think you would leave me anywhere to go.

[Imperial Historian]

Yeah honestly the chance of beating you in a stand up fight went once you got conifold hull. Now the game is a thousand pricks and limiting your points potential. I think you still might struggle/lose ships if some missile and retreat options next to your strong points are set up for next round though. Your still weakened by a lack of moves this round, so it will be interesting to see how things play out.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Move 4 interceptors - 2 from Rho Indi, plus 1 from Kappa Scorpii to the eridani homeworld. Move 1 from Zeta Draconis to Iota Bootis.

Return cube to the materialtrack.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Oh, and I take the betrayer card now.

[twelve]

Put my cube back onto science.

Tatts would you be interested in entering diplomatic relations with me?

Back to Khell!

Khell, don't let me down dude! We can do this!

Tapper, you better chip in too or I'm moving whatever I can into your space and going down in a blaze of glory.

After combat is resolved if I have hexes boardering with either CF or Tapper and they don't have the betrayer card and I don't get significant bumps in my rep tiles I'll offer them the same. The card is going to go around a few more times so what's the big deal with having it?

Who says you will have anything left to do such a move?

What do you think I should do? I've got 2 cruisers in Delta Eridani, ready to go. I have two interceptors in Arcturus already. Should I reinforce the ships there?
