Sorry guys. I'm back here but won't be for long. I can't see the map so, I don't know the system names.

I thought I was moving all three ships into the same hex. I assumed that hex was called Altair. Is this right?

I have been thinking about it. I offered it earlier but I'm wondering if I shouldn't wait to see what the outcome of my VP draw is first.

If it happens that I draw the remaining "4" tile or one of the 3 tiles, then I'd be better off keeping that at this stage in the game, since that's worth quite a bit more than a production bonus at this point. If I get all 1's then I'd probably do diplo.



At this point, he's fucked if you decide to attack him next round anyways. *shrug*

@SS You have to assume that Tatts is going to hit with both missiles. That's 4 pts of damage; i.e. you're going to lose a cruiser.

If you believe CF isn't going to attack you, do the upgrade and move the dread. If you don't trust him, for Turn 9 move your dread one hex NE to 324 and one of your cruisers out of Altair back to 324. Influence and colonize with money. Then pass.

You were. But doing it in the worst possible way you could do it.

So how couldn't I just put all 3 ships in versus the interceptor? As they are?

Because Tatts will sneeze at the dread and blow it up. Glass.

I'll make it easier.

Option A

Option B.


If you do the research, you won't be able to influence the hex.

I don't get this.

I should've moved from warp portal to 311, then to Altair. With all 3 ships.

I also don't understand all the pressure all of a sudden.
I've waited nigh on a week to take my turn then everybodies rushing to take my go for me now because I was absent a few hours.

I'm going to my kung fu lesson. I'll be fucked if I can arsed now like. You can just take over gnaw. Knock yourself out.

I don't care if I lose a ship. Or 3. I'm just having a nice time. Was.

Your ships can only move 2 hexes per move. That's 2 ships 2 hexes. or 1 ship 4 hexes. 311 to Altair is 3 hexes which causes you to need more moves to get there.

I just wanted you to confirm that you're done with this round and didn't have one more action up your sleeve.

If you are done then that's cool. We'll end the round. I just wanted you to confirm since the round ends when you say PASS.

EDIT - I have things set up exactly as you asked in your last bolded action. All 3 ships in Altair.

Man, never got to this last night...

I hope you guys aren't pissed; I was probably the worst choice for a mod being as busy as I am. I will do my best to finish up combat here today.
