I could move 2 ships into Arcuturus, or one 1 to Aldebaran (I'm not sure if D'rek is going to go there or not). I could even plant one in Pollux, Tatts' territory, but I feel it's better to focus on twelve for now.

With Tatts throwing everything at me, I probably won't have a spare ship for Aldebaran.

This was your choice this round. Next round you'd have only got stronger. Do you really want your Starbase tied up in this hex.

Tatts would you be interested in entering diplomatic relations with me?
Can I maybe do this during upkeep? If for example I get another 4 vp for battle then I'd rather keep that.

You have got to be kidding me. Unless you plan on betraying twelve immediately in the next round, you are not doing this. Otherwise, D'rek is not the only one who's going to go mental on you.

In fact, no, you aren't doing this at all. Here we are trying to cut down on twelve's pop cubes and you're thinking of doing the opposite. No.

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

I will move, but I am from the phone for the weekend - and yesterday. No time for fancy plans until then, and before I move, I also would like to see SS commit ;-)
Only someone with this much power could make this many frittatas without breaking any eggs.

Totaly fine with me. I was actually thinking the same thing. If I land the last 4 or even one of the threes I'd keep that instead. Now a one not worth keeping and a 2 is questionable unless it's the last round.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Move Interceptor from Arcturus to Aldebaran. Move Cruiser from Delta Eridani to Arcturus.

Oh goodie!!!! Who do I want to wipe out more? Khell & CF or Tapper & CF and who should I save for later.....
Mmmmmm I love desert. (Actually I don't but the analogy seemed to fit)

Asking SS to move is asking him to attack CF.
I was looking at the initiative not the movement. doh.

And I hate to be a killjoy, but unless I missed a drive upgrade none of CF's move are possible.
Doesn't he have the super 4-move disco drives?

He does. I'm an idiot.
SS still can't move past that interceptor though.

Tapper won't commit to moving against Twelve until you move against Tatts. CF's interceptor will pin one of your ships. So may I suggest moving a cruiser from your homeworld to my old warp portal Zeta something or other. And your interceptor from your homeworld to your warp portal. CF has cloacking device so he can move past your cruiser back to his own warp portal.
You want to use cruisers against Tatts because you have more of them. And any last minute upgrade applies to them all.

Though the rest of them have to guarantee your safety from Tapper.
That move takes you to -7
next turn, you move a cruiser from your homeworld 4 hexes to the canopus 311 hex. -10
Assuming that Tapper is making the correct non-threatening to you moves,
next turn, you move the 3rd cruiser from your homeworld to canopus 311. -13
then, depending upon the reaction from Tatts, you can move the cruisers to counter Tatts.
You're leaving a dread in your homeworld, an interceptor in your warp portal, and a cruiser in your pulsar. And a pulsar 'build' or 'move'.
All of that means you're going to be flipping ships for money. and converting resources. So they damn well better guarantee you get Mu Arae. Altair. Not MuArae. another doh.
Which means that CF should move his interceptor into Vega or Tatts' homeworld this next turn instead of doing "And your interceptor from your homeworld to your warp portal. CF has cloaking device so he can move past your cruiser back to his own warp portal."

Just been reading the OP on eclipse 4. So you want a run count down of resources in real time on each players OP. I think you guys already so that, but I've been adding them into upkeep.
If we're going to standardise the colouring, brown for materials and pink for science then I'll have to know the colour tags.
I got red....
