I should add that my provisional move is incumbent on no aggressive action or posturing taken against me or my ally.

I think we can safely say this is assumed for all provisionals, going forward.

Yeah, I just wanted to say it so that a potential bad situation for me doesn't get glossed over for expediency's sake as Gnaw is updating things.

So Tatts are you 100% going to attack and influence Vega? And you are 100% sure that you want to exchange ambassadors? Well hell even if you don't it's not going to change my move so I might as well put it in.

Action 3: Influence
-move influence disk on supernova to 304
-return all three population cubes to materials
-move influence disk from player board back to supernova
-deploy 3 colony ships
-populate material slot on 304
-populate 2 grey slots on supernova to science.
-reset 2 colony ships 2 ships available.

(1$, 0S, 2M Upkeep -10)

Making your production 10 10 8? (10 10 10 when you colonise the remaining materials planet?) I have to say it's been interesting how everyone has been balancing there economy with influence actions and grey planets. It's not something I tend to see in tabletop games.

Also: darn, I forgot the old board had the wrong money for me. I'm not going to be able to afford my influence

That's why I made sure to put an orbital on Spica. It's a nice reconfigurable resource base. Get 2 econ, 2 science or 1 material + 1 econ/science out of it as needs in game change.

@Tapper and Khell - I figured out how I'm going to afford my influence, and it will mean vacating Delta Eridani. Either of you can grab it if you want, though it's probably not necessarily worth it for just the one science cube.

Also, I'm not sure if I am going to be getting the prosperity shrines or not - they're pretty expensive for 3VP and 1 disc. We'll see. I am still going to go for the 6-cost ones later on, if I can.

[twelve]

It definately gives you flexibility. I still would have preferred to have adv Econ though. It would have negated my need to do this (Morgoth!!!!!!!)

I'm just happy finally gain some points this round. +4 this round.

So I can hit vega and 108 with my cruisers and still leave my dread to defend the hive hex if you try some funny business.

I can't attack the centre this turn, and Gnaw didn't want me to remove the 105 ancient yet, and that means I can't help if Tapper attack this turn (personally I think Gnaw is more than capable of fending off Tapper this turn).

Though thinking on ityou are right in that maybe it makes more sense for tatts to take the vega hex with his dread and I move both my cruisers close to the centre? What do you reckon tatts?

I don't care which one you do if you're letting me keep the hex.


I'm seriously considering passing. Ii won't but oh I want to

Too bad. First choice of tech next round will probably be really juicy.

[Imperial Historian]

You need to get some ships down, two upgraded cruisers or 4 interceptors methinks (not a huge deal between them to be honest in terms of combat odds)

Which hex are you htting? As long as I get to keep it, I don't care. If you do 108, I'll need to park a ship in it.

[Gnaw]

And I was thinking a dread and an interceptor. maybe

• @Rules:
• Not that I have anything to do with an extra colony ship just now, but does the above constitute a use of 2 or 3 colony ships? In other words, does building an orbital require a colony ship to populate it or does it populate by default? Has to be populated
  
• I should add that my provisional move is incumbent on no aggressive action or posturing taken against me or my ally.

Tapper

Khell

D'rek I'm not!

Also: darn, I forgot the old board had the wrong money for me. I'm not going to be able to afford my influence ??k There is/was a problem with your resources? I'm old. Refresh my memory.

Sorry I'm out for the evening. 108 I think, but I'd concentrate on defence. Up to you, can't see the board. Only reason I recommended lots of ints was because its good for not getting pinned, and would be useful against the GC.

108 is the one to the left of the GC

105 is the one to the left of Arcturus.

105 is better for you. 108 is better for Tatts.

Leaving 108 alone at the moment is better I think. D'rek can get to it so if we take the ancient out it's defenceless. I'd have to park a ship there.

BUT it would give Tatts better access to the GC.

Results 1#1d20:
1 # 10 [1d20=10]

You discover the Ancient Cruiser Destiny. The good news is it's a working space ship. The bad news is it's in another galaxy. (or might as well be.) And your discovery crew discovers something strange: the control chair is completely free of dust. But there is a bright blue ball of twine and an empty bottle of Mt. Dew on the table beside it.

VP or ship?
