[Morgoth]

Upgrade - Dreadnaught - Remove gauss shield, add positron computer ( $ -4 + 8, m-1, S-0)

[Solidsnape]

MOVES interceptor from chi Draconus to 55 homeworld and cruiser from pulsar system into gamma Valorum.

[D'rek]

My upgrade is to replace a cruiser plasma cannon with a gluon computer, the dreadnought electron computer to gluon computer and remove one dreadnought plasma cannon.

edit: and I forgot, colonize the two money slots in Mu Arae

Question:

Why didn't you remove the extra election computer and add two positron computers to your Dread? That would have increase your odds from 66% to 83% for each shot. It's still probably enough to clear the population but it seems like an unnecessary risk to accomplish your stated goal.

Answer 1.
He will have to do it on his next go now.

Answer 2. He is not going to do it, cause he is bluffing.

[Imperial Historian]

Answer cos if he had two positron computers he wouldn't have enough power.

He'd have to remove the plasma cannon, which would give him 83% chance or removing 2 pop, as opposed to his current build which gives him 89% chance.

Admittedly he could get 95%+ odds if he replaced an improved hull with a electron computer, but then he is at risk if someone tries to attack him or d'rek magics a build out of somewhere.

Can't believe I didn't notice the power restrictions. Guess I'm getting impatient again about the glacially slow pace.

On a side note, anyone of you Euro zone people live anywhere remotely close to Amsterdam?

It's looking very likely through the extreme generosity of my brother that I'll be having a layover in Amsterdam next Aprilish and I was thinking of extending a layover to have a look around for a day or so and thought it would be great to meet up with someone.

Tapper I think.

[Imperial Historian]

Tapper used to live about an hour away from Amsterdam proper in Den Haag, presumably your flying to Schipol though which is a bit closer to him, though I never did manage to get over to visit him.

[D'rek]

I edited in a colonization to my upgrade, too^^

As far as I know the tickets haven't be purchased yet so I don't have any flight plan or itinerary so I can't say for sure.

@ IH Read your PMs please sir.

Doesn't matter. There is no way she'll do a reaction upgrade to remove the other plasma cannon to expose the ion cannon or her default hull. I suggest just pick one.

Tell you what. I'll ask anyway. Because I don't know what reactions she may or may not do.

I don't care. Let's say the middle one.

Clearly not a cross-post so I wonder if you saw her reply.
