Screw it, I should add another computer to my Starbases but as this is the last round and I don't care if I win and only have one ship or all of them left I'll take....

No reaction

@Tatts, you should make sure your ships have the same amount of shields. If you have different amounts of shields on each ship, if twelve misses your high shield ships, he can just target low shield ships. as things stand twelves missiles aren't going to hit your big ships, but will just target the interceptors instead. I've not got a great grasps of the builds here, but I suspect you will do better with shields on your interceptors

[Tattersail_]

dreads should have

-4 shield 6 hull + 2 computers

cruiser

-2 shield 5 hull

interceptor

- 2 shield 1 hull

So Tatts can you verify the following?

Your Dread has +2 computers, -4 shields and 5 hulls
Your cruiser has -2 shields and 4 hull
Your interceptor has +2 computers and no hull

No, his dread has +3 computer, -6 shields, and 7 hull.
His cruiser has -4 shield and 6 hull.
And his interceptor has a waffle iron and an ice cream sundae.

Yeah what Khell said

Damn!!! Does the cruiser make smoothies too?

If they made smoothies I'd like to get me one of those.

yeah that is in my turn #11 when khell mentioned I did not have energy enough for two phase shields on cruiser, I put one on cruiser and one on interceptor.

[Tattersail_]

Turn #12 Pass

I hope I have done all I can D'rek. Now to gather enough tissues to oversee the destruction of my race.

That is two games in where I have had no survivors

edit, in theory...

Wait when did you make the change to your interceptors?

It was just your cruiser earlier.

You don't need a reaction.

It worked!

[twelve]

You shouldn't make ninja edits to orders. You should really make correcting posts to them instead. Now that I know that I'm not likely to hit even your interceptors with my missiles on my interceptors I'm thinking of making a change from missiles to cannons on my interceptors.

I have done all my moves in advance, so in theory they are all still provisionals seem as the last update was for turn 9? I put all my actions in today to speed up the process, but technically you D'rek, Morgy, Tapper and company can and all do have the options of reactions up to turn 12, yes?

Okay. Which is what I want you to do, so that then maybe I can change my #12 from pass to action.

Sorry for the edit on that one, I had done it once already when Khell said it was illegal

How many influence disks do you have on your player board after you made your last upgrade?

[twelve]

You still have 3 influence disks don't you?

[Tattersail_]

Yes, I have 3 unused discs.

[twelve]

You are clearly suiciding and you still have disks to counter what I do to counter you. So as soon as I do a reaction you will just put missiles and computers back on your interceptors and take out my interceptors or maybe get lucky and take out my Dread. So if I keep things the way they are I still feel good enough that during my missile round I can take out at least three of your interceptors but then you and I would still be tied up with the number of ships we have as my interceptors will be worthless the remainder of the battle.

So How do I see things play out during the engagement rounds....

Most likely I'll land 2 antimatter cannon blasts So I'll take down one of your dreads. I think that will leave you 4 ships.
Odds are 50-50 that you land two hits and take out my Dread.
Then it's trade a hit for hit from here on out.

I'll focus on your dread and get a hit

WCS you land two hits and I'm down to three starbases

I should land a hit and take out your Dread...

This battle isn't going to be as much of a landslide win as I hoped.

A few lucky shots early enough in the battle and I could be in some serious trouble.

Maybe I should do the upgrade to my starbases to add either another Antimatter cannon or another computer....

But if I do an upgraged or move for that matter I won't be able to reclaim my homeworld.

I guess I need to be content that I have liberated my homeworld and I can totally bankrupt Capella.

Okay so

#11 React

Remove one conifold field from starbase replace with Antimatter Cannon

It's after your last upgrade where you put a shield on your interceptors.

Okay, well I am going to think about what to do next. Shit.
