Hey!!!

I've got three points. You forgot my 1 point for tech now. And there will be a few more losses of hexes for you and IH from the looks of it.

[Galactic Council]

• $0, S2, M13

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

Turn 2

Spoiler

Tatts -

• 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

• Bank $4,S0,M10
• Production $15,S6,M4

Gnaw - Build

• 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.
• (1$, 0S, 2M Upkeep -7
  

Imperial Historian -

• BUILD 2 x cruisers in the hive hex
• Upkeep -5 £0 S0 M1

Morgoth - Move - both cruisers to my single tier 2 system

CF

• CONVERT 4 money to 2 materials.
  
• BUILD Orbital in Psi Capricorni (or whatever it's called...up next to Arcturus and Alpha Centauri, NW of my homeworld),
  
• populate with SCIENCE.
  
• BUILD Starbase in Formahaut. POPULATE two advanced science slots, one on homeworld and one on Formahaut.
  • @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.

Khell

• And Tapper sounds like he'll be researching, so I will say:
• Turn 3: RESEARCH Neutron Bombs.
• $0, S0, M13

Thank you. Had forgotten those. Fixed now.

[Khellendros]

Isn't your provisional two moves, Gnaw? Thought you could only do one move in a reaction.

You're right. Copy/paste error. Fixed now.

[Imperial Historian]

I'm not going to do a reaction.

EDIT: also you are forgetting D'reks shrine vp in the vp totals

[twelve]

Looks like we are back to Tapper as Morgoth provisionally passed.

Tapper I think you and Khell should pass. Trap Gnaw's ships with your Dread.

Tatts' provisional requires confirmation.

[twelve]

Don't forget that my battles include my orbitals not that it matters much as they have zero inititive or computers.

[twelve]

Why does Tatts need confirmation? Nothing changed before him that would warrant any further reaction from him as far as I can tell.

[twelve]

I should react after your reaction Gnaw and put a plasma Cannon onto my orbitals.

What would that do to my odds of winning against Tatts? Two hits and I could win that battle. And Tatts need three......

[twelve]

Hold One just a second. Tatts only has an electron computer on his Dread. Can someone run the odds with Tatts Blueprint against my orbital with the Ion turret and a plasma cannon?

[twelve]

Or my ion turret with an electron computer? Though I think my odds might be better with the extra cannon.

[twelve]

Damn Simulator won't work on my work internet. Can someone run it for me? What are the odds of coming out with a victory? If it's around 40% I might just do it.

[Imperial Historian]

I ran the odds of various blueprints before I attacked, I think the best odds I saw for you were 25%, can't remember which ones I ran, but pretty sure I'd have run plasma cannon.

[Khellendros]

I'm here, I'll just have a go now.

Against you I know I'm screwed but what are my odds against Tatts? His dread has 4 HP +1 computers with two ion cannons. Odds say on average he should take 4 rounds to kill me. Odds say I should land two hits if I live to shoot in the fourth round. If those two hits are with the plasma cannon I win but chances are I won't. I'm probably looking at 33% against Tatts.

[twelve]

Fuck it I'll save my actions for when I greatly improve my chance of success.

No reaction again.

For this you get 27% odds.
