That's cool, too.

I think I'd like to influence Gamma Valorum, and populate with a MONEY cube.

I think you could use one of your pulsars to move your interceptor into Gamma Valorum. Then during the battle stage you can colonize it without having to use and influence action. I could be wrong but it will save you an action if I'm right.

[Imperial Historian]

@SS You know you can do this by using your free move to put an interceptor in gamma velorum, and then claiming the tile at the end of the game round? You don't have to influence to claim the tile.

Unless you are planning to hit the double ancients tile this turn (which will not be a straightforward battle, you can get ~70% odds of winning by really pushing your move limit but you'd probably lose 1 or 2 interceptors), you might be better off grabbing an explore, and setting up to hit the double ancients next turn with some upgrades.

[Solidsnape]

Ok thanks guys. I didn't realise I could do that.
So I can move the interceptor with one pulsar and with the other pulsar I can upgrade to the plasma cannon?

You can move the interceptor with one pulsar but you can't upgrade with the other as you used two upgrades last round. You could either move the interceptor again (Kinda defeats the purpose) or you could use your pulsar to build another ship, either a cruiser (5 materials), starbase (3 materials) or another Interceptor (3 materials). You can't use the same pulsar action two rounds in a row.

So since you can use your free pulsar action this round you might want to consider doing an explore action instead and save the pulsar action(s) for later this round. There are only 10 more explores left (I think) and if you don't use it now you might not get too later this round as other players might beat you too it.

I didn't realise this either. Ok fair enough.
So a move and an explore.

@ CF

I'll use Sinies to move my interceptor to gamma valorum. With the aim of influencing and ultimately populating that system at the end of the round. With a money cube.
Probably an explore after that too.

Tapper,

I was taking a look at your next action provisional and you can't upgrade your Dreadnaught the way you want because you don't have enough energy. If you insist on adding the positron computer on the Dreadnaught blueprint then you need to put it over one of the ion cannons. Else you need to either select something else to upgrade or don't use all three upgrade actions.

And the cops are on your case too lobster boy. Make sure you get your provisional in before you hit the sack as CF will likely get his turn wll before you wake up.

As I am the GREAT AND GLORIOUS ERIDANI RULER you must obey my command.

I am keeping tabs on the game but was too stupid to copy the game file to my USB stick when leaving school today.

Will update in the AM or whenever I have time. Tomorrow promises to empty my gas tank with the amount of errands I have on the docket.

Round 2, action 3 provisional:
+3 comp (disc tile tech) on fighter in empty spot.
Positron (+2+) comp on cruiser in empty spot.
Extra nuclear source (+3 energy) on dreadnought in empty spot.

[Morgoth]

D'rek, though I am not particularly comfortable with your presence on my doorstep, I realise there's little I can do in order to stop you from taking the Hive. I could inconvenience you, maybe, but not stop you I think.

So, if you do move into the Hive I would be positive to exchanging ambassadors.

[Tattersail_]

So is it time for my next provisional?

[Tattersail_]

So we are still waiting on Solid am I correct?

Would you want to stop me from taking the hive? I guess since you explored it you want it, so I'm sorry about that, but I do want to be friends! If the ancients don't blow me up, I would love to exchange ambassadors! GP, meanwhile, can beg for mercy!

she has to defeat those ancients first, I don't mind surrendering tile 107 she can fight an interceptor for it. I will defeat her though. I have plans.

That's where you're going wrong. I do not have plans, I improvise
