Solid you do realise that you won't be able to influence them even if you did take them right? Your upkeep won't allow that. I can just as easily influence them on my first go next round, and I do not lose production of them this round because the cubes go to the graveyard.

[Solidsnape]

I can relinquish both pulsars if need be. So I could influence them if the income was right.

Ok then IH, you're right. I'll request a change in turn.

@CF, want to move one cruiser and the dread instead of 2 cruisers.

I hope he doesn't allow it. Tapper has already passed

[Solidsnape]

Kind of moot anyway. I've got another turn, and I wanted all 3 in that hex to start with.

[Tattersail_]

One will be pinned regardless.

[Solidsnape]

Exactly.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Yeah, the original move stands. Tapper passes, twelve passes by default, I pass yet again.

Anybody else for reactions before ss?

I suggest forgetting Vega. You're way overextended already. If you move the dread in, you need to do an upgrade to put armor on it. One missile hit destroys it.

Exchanging ambassadors with CF would give you another money cube off your track.

And this will hurt, but consider researching Advanced Economy. Colonize the one you already have. and the two money planets in Altair. But you're going to end up at -30, so you had better make damn sure you can kill all the cubes in Altair.

SS, if your going to make more than one move I'd just do them. At this point I can't see anyone doing anymore reactions. If someone is planning to do a reaction PM CF or this round could take a while!

Yeah I meant Altair (that the one with the interceptor in eh?), I want all 3 ships in Altair. Exactly for that reason. I NEED it having come this far.

So,


Turn 9.
Flip all colony ships for 3 money.
Trade 6 materials for 2 money.
MOVES remaining wayward dreadnought into Altair.

[Solidsnape]

So am I now on -21 upkeep, with 21 money available, and all three ships in GP's hex?

And still 6 science to spare?

[twelve]

I want to do more actions.....

Damn lack of influence disks!!!!

[Imperial Historian]

Um.... That's just suicides your dread, the interceptor almost certainly kills it. Your much better off having dread in Vega and your two cruisers against the interceptor.

And now you can't colonise the planets even if you do take the system. You can wait to trade for money until after the battle you know?

[Imperial Historian]

I just don't understand what you are trying to do ss.

Don't worry you will have plenty next turn

[cerveza_fiesta]

Yes SS, just want to make sure you know, you don't need to secure the funding before upkeep phase. You're better off not doing your resource trades right now.

And I gotta echo IH on not moving straight thru to Vega. That dread is toast if either missile hits (which is pretty likely).

[cerveza_fiesta]

ALSO @ All


I want to wrap up this round today and by the rules everybody gets one more chance for a reaction before SS passes.


@SS, please confirm that you (at least provisionally) pass.


@All again, if you have any reactions, just PM me or post here. I'll give you until this eve and then I'm closing the round and starting combat phase.

Nooooooooo!!! He doesn't do that. Really he didn't meant it.

Turn 8 -17upkeep

Turn 9: CF will you exchange ambassadors with SS?

[cerveza_fiesta]

I have been thinking about it. I offered it earlier but I'm wondering if I shouldn't wait to see what the outcome of my VP draw is first.

If it happens that I draw the remaining "4" tile or one of the 3 tiles, then I'd be better off keeping that at this stage in the game, since that's worth quite a bit more than a production bonus at this point. If I get all 1's then I'd probably do diplo.
