What Morgoth says. You may not be ready for it now, but if you face D'rek when she has twice the materials you have, you can win every battle but she'll outbuild you to begin with. Right now you may not be strong enough, but she faces you AND Morgoth. Together, you're a pain in the ass.

Morghy's correct about the orbitals being limited to one a system

I don't get what you are saying about the orbitals, you can build one in one hex and one in another. When you say a system what are you meaning, a hex? So is he saying you can only build one a turn? I think you have one build in 230 and one in 320 they are different hexes. So I am confused if what you are saying is that your second move is illegal.

I had changed the order initially to say 2x orbital in 320, since that's completely walled off from anyone. I also guess it would make orbitals a bit better, but it might be abusive, too.

I may build a dread in PSi Capricornii in two goes time. Next go will be too upgrade dread with plasma cannons over ion cannons. Does this please you Morgoth?

Why would he? It is more of a threat to him than anything else, really. If you want to build a threat/ deterrent to D'rek, you put it in 107. There, it threatens the rich planets 212, 205 and 232 (her home planet), each with 3 cubes placement.
If you want to build a system destroyer that will either be able to conquer unopposed or force her into building a defense (to give Morghy a chance without meddling yourself), you may want to add an extra ion cannon on a hull instead of going to plasma's: killing cubes is then more important than doing big damage.
If you want to engage in ship battles, the plasma's are better.

One plasma can can take out two population. I spoke to IH about it, he said an Anti Matter can could take out four planets. Am I wrong on that, My dread can move three spaces. I could move in on the ancients if I decide, or D'rek or that Morgoth's planet, i'd lose a cube though somewhere if I break diplomacy.

He is right, my bad . Odd exception, that - normally excess damage is lost

If I moved now, Gnaw could build and attack me. SS would face fewer units if I moved through now.

Gnaw's not going to attack Tapper who is going to be busy with SS soon.
Gnaw's not going to attack Tatts. I looked at the map and storage/incomes. When D'rek is finished with Morgy, she's going to roll over you.
Gnaw's not going to attack CF. CF is busy with Khell, but wouldn't hesitate to turn his back on Khell to stomp anyone who come through the warp portal.

Gnaw is going to hide in his corner and write a very sincere apology to D'rek for everything I've ever said, done, or thought about that in any way offended her. Because after her upkeep phase is done at the end of this round, she's going to be able to build quite a few ships (which are already etched up) and move them wherever she wishes.
Where does the 800 pound gorilla sleep? Wherever he falls after D'rek hits him.

[Tattersail_]

So it is back round to CF and Khell this would conclude action 2.

Action 3 - Upgrade dread with Plasma cannon over ion cannon and plasma cannon over ion cannon


CF can I see my discovery?

[Galactic Council]

OK, I'm back, just going through the posts and provisionals now.

Sorry, was no time to mod last night, though I did have a lovely Bday dinner with my gram.

And she's 87 (oops).

Provisional for turn 4:
Build 2 cruisers in nova hex and something else somewhere else.
So Tatts, why don't you use turn 3 to move your dreadnought and upgrade it on turn 4?

[Galactic Council]

@Gnaw, - all that stuff you said, done.

@GP - Adv. Econ researched, discovery gained. +8 money!

@Morgoth - Cruiser and dread built in Beta Centauri

@D'rek - Adv robotics researched

@SS - cruisers moved to home system

@Tapper - Orbitals built and populated with money and science

@Twelve - Influence action done as requested

I am building another ship on turn four, if I wait until then I can use the move action to move both ships. Using it now would negate that action and be a waste of the move.

[Tattersail_]

I wanted money, but wouldn't have minded getting some ship part or ancient to flip for VP's.

[Galactic Council]

@GP, so are you keeping the money then?

@Rho indi - Build 2 interceptors in zeta draconis. 6 materials and 3money (3-2 conversion rate)

Board update will go up in a few minutes.

Yeah keep money, I did update storage in the OP. Keep money

[Galactic Council]

Ok, sorry, didn't check back there.

Just got distracted. Board update going up for reals this time.

[Galactic Council]

Just realized I didn't move your econ marker in the board update GP. It is fixed in the working file.

Fun fact, d'rek can beat morgoth... or d'rek can just about beat tats. I don't think she can beat both though.

It's almost like IH is trying to tell us something - though for the life of me I can't figure out what.

In other news, CF has given me rep for my awesome 2nd action this round. It must be a great action which I'm about to do

EDIT: OH! [puts dunce hat on]. I see what he means! Yes, yes I quite like it too!

Fun fact, GP can beat d'rek... or GP can beat Gnaw. I don't think he can beat both though.

Fun fact, twelve can beat GP... or twelve can beat CF... or twelve can beat Gnaw. I don't think he can beat any combination of two of them though.

Fun fact, SS can beat Tapper... and no one else 'cause he's locked himself in a corner for now.

Fun fact, Khell can beat... no one he is so screwed.

[Tattersail_]

So smiles all around then. These war games are nasty.

[Galactic Council]

Everyone just quit hedging your bets. WE can all sit around posturing for 5 more rounds or we can get our hands dirty!

Twelve, D'rek, you already get to be in the dirty hands group. New members welcome.

i fucking love having dirty hands.
