Help
Pirates are a very much all or nothing, I've played games with rho indi players 3 games, 2 times they were challenging for a win or got the win, the other time they bombed completely and were lucky to stay in the game, if they get even one decent combat tech early they are very powerful, but a loss of an interceptor or two early on can really set them back.

Putting to one side my general ineptitutude and resistance to planning ahead in Eclipse...
I think I was also burned early-game by weak explores and and even weaker discoveries. I also wanted to turtle early game as much as possible, and buy the wormhole generator when I was ready to attack (my thinking being that with my research racial trait, I could afford the generator much sooner than most). But the way the hexes fell I was unable to do that. I was never able to get a good economy going from my hexes, and always survived on scraps of money, science, and materials, meaning I never progressed to being able to think about invading other territory in a serious manner.
I was both lucky to get the supernova (I think the Hydrans are especially suited to maintaining that hex type), and very unlucky when the dice rolled to blow it up.
Mid-game I became stuck in a rut. Perhaps I should have played a more patient game, building up ships and resources and then striking out at one particular target in the final round. But I didn't feel like doing little for several rounds, so I decided to throw ships every which way in order to make others stumble a bit (mainly twelve).
My research advantage also didn't feel like much of an advantage. I think this was due to bad researching on my part. I used very few of the things that I researched. I think that in a best-case scenario, the Hydrans are supposed to be extremely flexible in terms of combat, because they've researched so many varied things that they can then customise their ships to suit any particular battle. But I didn't research enough weapon-type things, instead preferring to find some way to boost my economy etc.
Overall, I think I preferred playing with the Lyra, but that's probably because things just happened to go smoother for longer in that particular game, whereas in this one my initial plan was immediately thwarted and I didn't put enough effort into changing tactics. I regret not taking full advantage of the research bonus, because that seems like it could be such a potentially powerful weapon.

Generally as hydrans you are looking to turtle (though if your tech advantage gets you ahead enough you can go aggressive), and research, not go out and attack people. You lucked out with supernova (I agree in hydran hands it is amazing), but your early draws were heavy on ancients, and you were low on materials which hurt you as you couldn't expand early on. I think one thing I saw you do a couple of times was a single research rather than the double research, whilst that helps sometimes, I usually try and avoid that to save actions. There were also a few cheap rare techs you didn't take advantage of by using them to get discounts.
I think you did pretty well considering you were stuck between twelve and CF, both of who were military races which you were always going to struggle against.

You're right about the rare techs - I foolishly kept forgetting they were available.
I have a feeling I should have played it safe and gone for the Terrans for Eclipse 4, but the Planta were just too tempting. Hopefully with alliances in play, I'll have a bit more breathing space.

I'm intrigued by planta in 9 player, especially with a lyra neighbour, I can imagine a pretty impressive wall being constructed on that side of the galaxy.
Unfortunately you aren't in a good position to pull off the 'aggresive explore strategy', which I think was why Planta were removed from 9 player. For example if you were in my position you could open with a double explore and completely block morgoth off from tier 1 and 2. I think the key techs for me when I played planta were improved hull (which I got first turn and kept my ships competitive) and advanced robotics (and quantum grid if it had appeared) as I was short on moves all game.

Yeah, it seems Planta is all about using your early advantages - the double explore and better starting ships - to maximum advantage in the first few rounds in order to set yourself up for the later rounds when your advantages run out - eventually there's no more explores, and the Planta ship blueprints are worse once people start to upgrade and customize more. Whether that means building a giant wall, expanding to as many materials+science planets as you can manage, or something else, Planta seems very much a race that you want to be in the lead or close to it most of the game or you won't win, kinda like Pirates and Eridani.

You get a VP for owning the warp portal development and you get VPs for Discovery tiles you uncovered. I think there were 3, so your VP total is at leaset 4 higher than what you have listed. I also think you landed at least one of the remaining 2 VP tiles left in the bag, maybe 2 so your VP from battles is also 2-3 points higher. At the bare minimum you are at 15 VP
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Nice defense on that though, You kicked me out real good with that starbase & hull tech play.

So I think the final points breakdown is as follows. Looks like the CF and Khell Diplomacy exchange pushed Khell over Tapper for 4th, Tatts even though bankrupt still finished 6th as he had enough Reputation tiles, race bonus and tech to surpass the bottom three. Now the important question is when does the next one start?
Twelve 55
D'rek 44
CF 34
Khell 24
Tapper 23
Tatts 18
Solidsnape 15
Morgoth 12
Gnaw 6
Twelve 55
D'rek 44
CF 34
Khell 24
Tapper 23
Tatts 18
Solidsnape 15
Morgoth 12
Gnaw 6

Haha, it seems so long ago that I'd actually forgotten about that. I think Gnaw feeling suicidally sorry for me helped somewhat in regaining that

I'm still a bit at a loss of how to role play the exiles. I'm still not entirely sure of how I should play the race as well. I am really apprehensive to have IH right next door with access to improved hull right out of the gate and his race bonus of positron computers. The exiles don't have a great track record on this forum for success. I'm also (likely) going to be bordered with a lot of ancient hexes as well because of Gnaw on my other side.

You could roleplay them as morose cynics who think everything in life will just get worse!
Exiles are a race I think you don't need to be too apprehensive about early on, though. Starting with cloaking device means anyone is going to have to really think twice before messing with you early on, because you might just ignore defense and guerilla strike them instead.

Now if I could just figure out how to roll multiple different configurations in the same roll. I know it's possible. Then for engagement rounds where there is no possibility of a destroyed ship a single roll could handle the whole engagment.
Edit: whether that is desirable or not will depend upon how easily the results are to interpret.
Edit2: A very simple test I should have done a couple months ago. *sigh*
how many characters will this window allow? I'd like to cut down on the on size of the manual needed to decode the description.
