Colonization orders:

1 money on a grey square.
1 mats on the mats planet.

Upkeep: -21.
Income money: 10.
Income science; can't remember - 6 probably.
Income materials; 8.

Gap: -11 = 3 discs.
Discard from 102 (science cube), Pulsar (mats cube), system bordering Morgoth (mats cube).

Your math is good through there.

Tapper, on 10 December 2013 - 06:15 PM, said:

Keep the science, please.

My setting for the round is then

0 money (10 income)
11 science (4 income)
8 materials (4 income)

I have you at 5 + 4 = 9 science and 0 + 4 = 4 mats.

Turn 1
Tapper Research Antimatter Cannons. Flip as many colony ships (1 or 2) as required to pay for it. -9 == 0 no ships used
Turn 5
Tapper - provisionally build 2 more fighters, flipping a colony ship for mats -5 mats == 0 left

It might be that I am wrong in my assumption that during payment, you get the income from cubes before I discard discs to pay the upkeep gap.
So from that perspective, I'd get 10 + 6 + 8 and income for round 6 falls to a predictive 10/4/4 if I am not mistaken?

You only get the production if someone else takes your hex. If you are bankrupting a hex then you do not get the production from that hex.

[Morgoth]

I didn't actually notice that. The curse of playing from an iPhone.

Hm...

I think I'll have to withdraw my research order.... Gnaw, are you updating the player Boards today? might need to see what options People have.

How much does that thing cost?

15 science can go down to 10 science.

[Morgoth]

Hmpf, then I wont be able to afford both that and the gluon.

[Galactic Council]

I can't get the player boards until tomorrow. The map was easy to throw together from an older file, but not so the playerboards,

I think missiles and computer is better for you anyway. Can Tapper even afford the source?

[Tattersail_]

Gnaw just be wary, D'rek has 2 artifacts right now, she can do a swap with Khell to gain another and she can maybe attack your homeworld for a fourth. I think those are her plans eventually. I am not going to be around to defend your homeworld. If you could keep D'rek busy that would be awesome. It frees me up with more options.

Ah. Fuck.

Well,

0 money.
4 science + 5 = 9.
4 materials.

Damn. Not impressive.

[Morgoth]

It will have to be that.

Research - flux missiles on top track and Gluon computer

[Tapper]

Provisionally research advanced labs for 9 science .

Turn 1 provisional:

• If D'rek doesn't influence Iota Bootis, move int from Sigma Draconis to Iota Bootis.
• Otherwise influence

• Delta Corvi then Zeta Chameliontis.
• Colonize mats planet and money on orbital.
• Flip ships back up.
• 0 upkeep. 0, 5, 4.

Gnaw you have a spare move action left over if you do this.

I'd advise moving your interceptor from my homeworld to the warpportal, OR move the interceptor from the warp portal to mine or Khells warp portal.

Remember you can influence from a hex which has a ship in to a neighbouring hex, as long as the ship is not pinned

I am thinking of not researching this round IH, unless it is Star bases. I am not going to attack D'rek. I do know what I want to do but I don't want to say.

[Khellendros]

So that would be either attack Khell or attack the GC, then

Ha ha, I knew some intrigue would pull you back into the game!!

Are you able to play Sunday

[Khellendros]

What about this?

Truce this round between the two trio alliances, as we all build up our weapons of mass destruction.

Next round joint effort to destroy the Morghy/CF sneak-a-thon.

Final round we can go back to trying to beat each other senseless.

I would love to do this, just ask D'rek to de-influence Rigel and move back across the board.

Note: post above edited a couple of times there to get accurate economic summary.

@Morgoth

What did you decide to do with that ancient wormhole orbital by the way? I was looking for your comment on that but didn't see it.

Good choice going with the original tech choices. I think it's for the best, really. That source is a nice bonus, but it's hardly mission critical right now.

If these other jerks decide they want to pile on us, it may be wise for you to retreat from the front. Those hexes are worth a few VPs for sure, but you've gotten the discoveries and combat VPs (which are really the more valuable thing in the long run). If the other factions gang up, we can still continue amassing a solid amount of points from behind the iron curtain.
