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.

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.

I moved about 15 km from Den Haag, but that shouldn't be any problem.
I live about 45 minutes from Schiphol Airport by train (which I think is the only intercontinental airport in the Netherlands) and about an hour from Amsterdam (and 15 minutes from both The Hague and Rotterdam). Meeting up should be quite possible.

[Tapper]

Send 2 dreads and 4 interceptors to Zeta Chameleontis (lower left wormhole).

When I get more info on the trip I'll be in touch. Make sure you empty that inbox of yours. It tends to fill up.

Also It's your go and I'm itching to get this game done. This sitting around waiting for things to move is killing me.

Build 3 Interceptors in the Galactic Center (17$, 0S, 0M, -10 Upkeep)

I've PMd CF. I should poke Khell and Tatts to get thinking of what they would like to do as they are on deck.

Of course you do that. How did you know I was posting updated maps?

[twelve]

Gnaw I see that you posted a map update and I found something that needs to be corrected. SS didn't move his cruiser into his homeworld he moved it to the Warp portal hex, I think. That's Gamma Valorum right?

Question on Interceptor Bays and pinning:

Do interceptors IN a bay count towards pinning? If answer is yes, Tapper are you unloading the fighters and if so how many?

[twelve]

No they do not count for pinning. At the end of the move activiation they are removed from the bay and then can count towards pinning.

Thank you.

Quote

Interceptor Bay: Each Interceptor Bay Ship Part allows you to move up to two unpinned Inter- ceptors in the ship bay with one Ship activation (see explanation on the right). After each activa- tion, one or more Interceptors may leave the In- terceptor Bay and then be moved by themselves with further Ship activations. When moving In- terceptors in the bay, they do not affect pinning. The Interceptors are unloaded from the bay at the end of the Move action.

That's the way I read it too. They are automatically kicked out when the host stops. So all 3 of CFs interceptors are now stuck until/unless Tapper moves one of the 8 ships.

Edit: Damn. The downside of cloaking device is a rather significant downer. If you're pinned, you're outgunned. The more ships you have pinned the less likely you are to win the battle.

Ummm. Tapper didn't move into that hex. He moved into the hex from your former warp portal hex; the one that CF has one starbase on. Right?

Any errors?

[twelve]

From the quick look I gave it nothing glaring stood out but if you want to be nit picky CF's starbase should be on the crowded hex tile along with Tapper's ships but I understand why you didn't as it is likely that most of those ships will just be passing through.
