You can always do a normal upgrade to add a new part to your cruisers and upgrade the power on the cruiser to. If you are planning on getting a specific part and need the power then upgrading power now could work out for you, especially if you don't want to waste a move on upgrades. It's up to you, 5% odds isn't a massive difference, but if it saves a ship from destruction it could be important.

Rotation so that I am after Gnaw and someone is last??




Just noticed that it is you Khell, I'm sorry

My sweet buns of steel you've just noticed. This is revenge for me going clockwise last time, isn't it? Off such small things are devastating wars started.


COLONISE the two advanced materials planets in my systems, then PASS. Boom.

[Galactic Council]

@Gnaw - confirm pass
@GP - confirm pass
@Morgoth - Moved interceptor and dread to lambda serpentis
@D'rek - confirm pass
@SS - I'm assuming you're going with IH's advice on this? I'll put the plasma cannon on your interceptor, but if you're set on upgrading the source then that's cool. I'm just processing the move now to speed things along but your choice doesn't affect anybody so it's fine to re-do in the near future.
@Tapper - confirm pass
@Twelve - Back to you sir.


@All


Back in the office now. Sorry for being such a shit mod all week. Please remember to update the first page even with provisional moves - it really helps me to keep track and do board updates in minimal time.

Tapper you are on deck as SS has a provisional in as well to upgrade some stuff.

I'll provisionally move my two dreadnaughts to the GC barring anything crazy by Tapper that adversly affects moi.

[twelve]

Sorry for not putting my provisional in the OP. I won't be at a computer for another hour so ill do it then as confirmed.

[Galactic Council]

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


You have all fallen for my trap and have done EXACTLY as I predicted you all would. Tapper built ships! Twelve decided to pony up on the GC! Gnaw passed without building more stuff! Khell built a cruiser! GP didn't go after that double-ancient tile!

Actually I didn't predict any of that....but still MUAHAHAHA. You all have been wondering what my plans are with the long distance drives, wormholes and my posturing with GP regarding the double ancients. MY plan the whole time was:

BETRAYAL!

@Rho indi

MOVE - 1 cruiser and 3 interceptors to BETA HYDRANI.

*credit to Twelve for the format of the above move.

[Tattersail_]

That is so mean. So very mean.

[Galactic Council]

well i AM a pirate FFS...what d'ya want from me?

EDIT

Actually, my reasoning (and I'm sorry it came to this Khell) is that I have no other option.

I need to get more valuable and lucrative systems. There are no explores left, so that's out. Khell will be in a position to build a bigger fleet next turn and he will be hard to kill if he has any more ships. Odds of beating 2 of tapper's ships with my 4 are favourable, but not awesome, and retribution would be swift next turn. I have no hope against Twelve, and Gnaw is sitting on a hoard of materials big enough that he can shit out 2 dreads and a starbase anywhere I position my ships, and he could do it with reaction moves.

So, if I don't take this chance, I don't have a hope of going any farther in this game as I see it.

I was thinking you'd hop into Gnaw and decimate him seem as he has all those material plaents for you to rob.

[Tattersail_]

What's to stop Tapper from moving on you?

[Khellendros]

Colour me not shocked at all.

I expected that all round from you, which is why I wanted to go after you so that I could react to it. The only reason I didn't do anything about it is because you said you would pass when it comes round to you.

But you lied.

So I lied too. I don't pass.

[Imperial Historian]

Curse your sudden yet inevitable betrayal!

Poor Khell, but it was inevitable with his pathetic defences.

I had exactly zero say in the entire matter. I kept trying to avoid his systems when exploring, but he connected with me anyway. I had no materials with which to build defences with.

@ CF:

So what about Tapper? What about that ancient in your other hex?

[Khellendros]

I'm thinking of ceding the hex to you without a fight CF (apart from that poor lonely interceptor). If I can take on the ancient hex next turn then I may be able to recover.

If you had just let me know that's what you wanted to do, I may have just moved that interceptor completely out of your way

Would that be bad form Gnaw? As bad as using my innocence to harp on my emotion strings? No I would never do that He was correct in that he turned it the wrong way before

[Galactic Council]

@Khell,

Some impartial advice (haha yeah right) my odds of winning this are really, really good. Before you move your cruiser, think about whether it's best to save it for a strike-back next round or to just go all-in this round. 2 of your cruisers would be a big challenge for me

Sorry, didn't see your post in time Khell,

I wanted to give warning, but I didn't want to tip my hand to Tapper or Gnaw.

This is a big learning curve for Khell imo.

I think the Hyrdani are underpowered early game, they need to turtle to stand a good chance of avoiding war.

[Imperial Historian]

IF you'd upgraded your starbases with improved hulls, you could probably have had a stab at holding him off. However with that cruiser build it doesn't look likely that you'll be able to now. I'd just retreat if i were you, and hope he doesn't kill the interceptor, and thus deprive him of the extra money. Note you can still put down a cube on your materials planet in your home system and get the resources, chances of Cf killing all your population is slim.

Edit: Oh he has neutron bombs, well you can still get the extra production.
