@ khell, what's your decision RE population cubes? You have 2 colony vessels left. Also, Betelgeuse only has 3 wormholes, not 4 as your first page post suggests. Can you confirm the placement is correct?
@ Tapper, I assume you're taking that computer component. Are you sitting on it or putting it on a blueprint right away?
@ All, board update in progress. gimme 5 minutes.

Rotate one click clock wise. So that the non wormhole covers the south eastern area. Influence and colonise science planet. Diplomatic relations Gnaw?
If so discard a further science cube.

Hm, change the two wormholes around and influence the system, though hold on the colonisation.

Ha, still 2/6 in both tier 1 and tier2. Whatever, I will explore Tier 1 - at least there I'm not in danger of getting an ancient Hive!

It's coz the pics you post contain the edges of other hexes, so their wormholes confuse my poor brain That's fine, keep the placement as I said (so also no wormhole at S).
And yes, populate both grey and science planets. Grey planet with moneys.

It would have been nice to be next to someone else than Orion, alas them the cards dealt and that cruiser alone is pretty terrifying right now ..
Perhaps we'll be able to exchange ambassadors later, D'rek, when you're embroiled in fighting the droids and imperials.

My front page has been updated.
I would love to exchange ambassadors with someone, I really need the money! Should I explore towards your HW?

Rotate so that non wormhole is faced SE. Influence, colonize, exchange diplo with GP. Science cube for the diplo.
There's no reason for me to have an influence in that empty hex sout of me is there?

Solid looks like he put in a provisional to explore south of his homeworld So it looks like we are waiting on Tapper.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I would not be disinclined to explore the tier two territory next to my starting system in such a way that we'd connect, no. I assume you were not planning to make a connection through tier 3.

I'd be okay with doing the Tier 3 one if we did it this turn. I suspect I am going to pull an ancient on the explore I just submitted and with the extra money I could still get in an upgrade and move my cruiser the two hexes to it this round. But I'm also quite understanding if you'd like to do a more lengthy/convoluted connection - either at tier 2 or in a zig-zag pattern between our homeworlds.

CF I was taking a look at the map and you got the alignment for Zeta Reculi wrong. The wormholes should be NE, SE & SW. I also thought that Tapper's wormhole alignment was also rotated counter clockwise to the map layout as well but he will have to comfirm that for sure.
And after further review it looks like Gnaw's Tier II hex isn't connect anywhere, and didn't Morgoth ask for the hex to be rotated? Everyone should take a look at the map to make sure if there aren't anything else that needs to be fixed.

I think CF posted that map with the new hexes added but before doing any rotations.
ie:
-people explore
-CF reveals hexes, asks for adjustments
-CF posts map (the current one)
-people specify adjustments
-CF will post a new map

Well if that's the case then I spoke too soon. Though in most of the cases of the hex being aligned incorrectly people had already specified the rotation prior to him posting the images. He probably ran out of time or something.

Tatts, this doesn't work. If you put a non-wormhole side to the SE you also put one to the NW and don't create a link to the hex you explored from, Psi Capricorni.

I thought it had five worm holes as opposed to four, I'm not overly concerned about centre, so leave orientation as is then. See I only mentioned one non wormhole?

Gnaw, you should be more specific. There are many ways you can orient your hex to have a full wormhole back to Altair and no wormhole towards the SE.
