Two moves makes your upkeep -13. Influence it afterwards, making your upkeep -17 but colonize it for science and money. Remove Epsilon Carinae in bankruptcy and you'll have:

0 +12 -13

trade 3 materials for 1 money:

1 +12 -13 = 0
0 +8 = 8 science
2 +4 = 6 materials

or

1 +12 -13 = 0
0 +10 = 10 science
2 +3 = 5 materials

Oh, and of course if Tatts tries to move his dread all the way back around to attack your dread, Khell, that'll use up his actions and I'll reaction an interceptor into his supernova or homeworld for you.

[Gnaw]

It appears as if the fungi are ruminating again.


@ IH - I wanted to let you know that the ensign assigned to fleet pest control sent a report up the line saying it was the best herbicide he'd ever worked with. I only mention this because his family is in the chemical business. Apparently large enough that our Trade Deputy brought it to my attention along with a request to send a Trade Mission to this Monsanto Corporation of yours.

You're the intelligent toasters. CF is the humans. grrrr.

Housekeeping question: Does anyone pay any attention to the turn marker board I made or can I eliminate it from the game board?

[Khellendros]

Ack, library wifi dying on me. Very interesting D'rek, thanks for the input. I'm going to take another look at the board before deciding where to move, but can't do that till i get better internet. In the meantime though,

RESEARCH Warp Portal for 8 materials. Place in that far hex where my dread and cruiser are.

I only open the low resolution map and player board option as it has all the info in one place and the image fits nicely on my new screen.

Heh, I think two moves will make my upkeep -17 D'rek, not -13.

That's ok, though. I have ideas.

Khell

• RESEARCH Fusion Source for 6 Science.
• $0, S2, M13

D'rek - RESearch Neutron Bombs for my next action.

Turn 2

• Research Point Defense put it on middle track - 9 science convert 4 materials into 1 science to cover this.
• Upkeep -7
• Bank $4,S0,M10

Gnaw

• Research Cloaking Device -7 science put on middle track
• $0, Sc 0, Ma 13. -7 upkeep

Twelve -

• Gnaw stick with my original provisional
• Build two orbitals in 310 and 318. Colonize them both with science.
• (1$, 0S, 2M Upkeep-5)
• Exchange Ambassadors with IH. Both send monetary gifts.

Imperial Historian

• So upgrade cruiser with 2 improved hull over electron computer and in the blank space, and one positron computer over the hull.
• Upkeep -3 £0 S0 M9

Morgoth provisional Upgrade - Add fusion source and fusion drive to cruiser

CF - Upgrade starbases - Imp hull on blank spot and imp. hull over one regular hull.

Tapper - Influence.

• Flip a colony ship for 1 science. Remove disc from Aldebaran. Turn that colony ship face-up.
• Gnaw, I think you removed the money cube on Aldebaran to the material track instead? Fixed

Khell - INFLUENCE

• Epsilon Carinae and Lambda Serpentis. Colonise all planets (grey planet with science cube). Reveal the discovery.
• So what wondrous creation do I get this time, GC? A clapped-out interceptor? A tech I already possess maybe? Oh, a piece of lint from your pocket perhaps?
  
• Discovery is Free Ancient Cruiser 02. He keeps as cruiser.
  

D'rek - Provisional: Research Advanced Mining (-9 science)

Turn 3

• 2 interceptors in Arcturus
• $0, Sc 0, Ma 7
• -10 upkeep.

Twelve - Provisional Influence

No I will have one adv material slot not populated. Don't populate 304 with an influence disk and colonize the adv material slot and I'll be good.

• -remove influence disk on supernova
• -return all three population cubes to materials
• reset 2 colony ships 3 ships available.
• -move influence disk from player board back to supernova
• -populate 2 grey slots on supernova to science. use the last colony ship on the adv material slot on the supernova while we are at it.

  • @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

• I think the money cube from Aldebaran was moved to materials, instead.
• fixed
  

• Research Positron Computer and flip 3 colonyships for science, please - it should come with a discount of -3, and +3 science gained --> 10 - 5 + 3 = 8.
• That also gives me a discovery tile, please - any ships/orbitals/warp portals et cetera are deployed in my homeworld should I keep them.
  • http://orokos.com/roll/149569#
    Description r4 Tapper magellan 4th tech discovery. 19 available
    Results 1#1d19: 1 # 19 [1d19=19]
  • Shard Hull - place over hull point on dread.
    
• so I'd be at 5 money (+8 income), 8 science (+6 income), 6 materials (+6 income) at upkeep -7.
