No,
Tatts deliberately decided to hold things up until he has a chance to look things over and that will probably be tomorrow morning some time for you, then D'rek has to go and she is at least 5 hours later than you so proably noonish your time before you might have to put in another order.
but provisionals are your friend. and CF moved his interceptor out of your way.
On the other hand, you probably don't want to move before you see what Tatts does.

So wait, CF believes I have interceptors in Capella?....Can you confirm if you thought this CF?
I have ONE interceptor in ALDEBARAN; ONE interceptor and ONE cruiser in ARCTURUS; and ONE interceptor and ONE cruiser in DELTA ERIDANI.

This is also presumably why Tapper hasn't tried to move into Capella, because he thinks I'm there. Fuck's sake.

Here's a cropped version of what's posted on the front page.
Spoiler
I'll take 75%.
- 25% I should have finished the round as mod. He handed it to me at the beginning of the round, so there was very little chance of making a boo-boo.
- 50% Once I handed it to him, I should have stopped posting lowres images. 1 mod; 1 set of pics. Me being 'helpful' here contributed negatively.
The other 25%? Hmmm. *cough**cough*

ROUND 7:
1. RESEARCH Point Defense for 8 Science.
2. BUILD 1 Cruiser and 1 Intercptor in Delta Eridani.
3. MOVE 2 Interceptors from Delta Eridani to Arcturus.

Check the wormholes there bub. Capella can't be reached from your neck of the woods. Wormhole generator isn't likely to help you either as there is no half wormholes either.
I stared at the map for ages and yet somehow was still blind to that. Clearly I am no general yet
@ Tapper: how do you feel about going for Capella and Zeta Herculis? Throw something rubbish into Capella, and you'll have more chance of taking Zeta Herculis, as twelve is more likely to focus on one over the other.
I will then:
Move two interceptors to Arcturus, for now.
I'm guessing that CF skimmed through looking for bolded actions. He found one and put it on the map. That's what he's supposed to do right?
So you didn't cross out your 'ships to capella' post. You didn't update your front page post. You didn't actually look at the image on the front page. I'm thinking maybe the percentages are off. I'll take 25/25. You get the other 50.

Move two interceptors into Eta Gam (one from psi capricorni and one from Mu Arae)
I am sacrificing 4 interceptors to destroy Twelve's Dreadnought.

After I destroy his dread I intend to go for the GC, make him defend it with as much force as he can and let us destroy more of his stuff. I don't care if Tapper or D'rek or SS win. I care about braggers and how they can be cut down to size

I wasn't blaming you Gnaw, I was just frustrated. I should have updated my OP sooner, kept forgetting.

I'm aware of that Khell. I'm blaming me. and you.
Of course, now I understand why I was scratching my head at a couple of moves. You, me and Twelve were the only ones who knew Capella was just sitting there.
And, there's no way to "fix" it except update the map and keep playing. Trying to back up 2.5 rounds would be insane.

I'd be okay with that as I think I seriously screwed the pooch by moving my Dreads when I did.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Yeah, that skimming for bolded posts thing. THat's exactly what happened. All fixed now and thanks for updating. That combined with the hand-off between Gnaw and me with the file. It's harder to pick up in the middle of things and get it all right.
TBH, I'm running on so little spare time over the next few weeks I'm often updating things in a bit of a hurry, so anything you can do to make it easier on me is much appreciated.
Though, if anybody notices mistakes with the board, post in no uncertain terms that I messed something up and I'll do what I can to fix it.
@Twelve
You're fine dude. You're still sitting on a pile of materials big enough to completely rebuild your fleet and murder all of us next turn. No worries.

So what does the board look like? I'm pretty sure twelve doesn't have plasma missiles for example...
Also what are the rules for Khell's ship in the 3 way between him, twelve and Tats. He can't retreat right, so that means he HAS to fire the missiles? That might give twelve a bit more of a chance.

Twelve fights the winner of Tatts and Khell since by owning the hex, he was there first.
RE Plasma missiles -
Not sure why I did that. It is fixed to show flux missiles in the working version.

My mistake, I thought you had a cruiser there... though honestly I have no idea where most of your ships are.

Whats going on here? I have plasma missiles on your cruiser, but I don't even see where your cruiser was upgraded with missiles in the turn history on Page 1.
Should it and your interceptor both have missiles or neither?

Let this be a lesson for everybody to update there turn 1 posts! I like Gnaws action thread as an alternative for those stuck on mobiles.
I got confused and thought he had a cruiser in that hex. But I lost track of upgrades and moves long ago.
