I can put in a provisional.

Research Starbases, Advanced Economy or Plasma Cannon. Not yet decided

Yes, but it has harmed you and your production. I think you could do a lot of harm to D'rek this round. I don't mind helping you take Rigel with my cruiser. It stops her from having the artifact. Just make sure your home world is defended.

I was semi sorta planning on not having any battles this round. The movement to Iota Bootis is strictly so that she can't build there. Although with a little more thought I'm not certain that she would bother doing so this round.

Have a look at Rigel, we need her gone from that hex. My cruiser plus how many of your interceptors can you field there? You'd be able to influence it once done.

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but recent studies show that Khell should pick the gluon computer as his next scientific discovery.

You do hate me. It's now been confirmed.

I cannot even begin to describe all the conflicting emotions you build within me, twelve. That's why I set this years semester-paper for the final year undergraduates in neuropsychiatry and applied xenhistophenalopy to be titled: An in depth study of Morgoth and twelve - With focus on repulsion and hidden desires.

Hopefully I'll be able to copy a conclusion into our diplomatic correspondence. It is unlikely though. They're just undergrads.

IH any ideas on what I should research? Not much source, I could wait and let it build up and do something different.

Major Rules issue:

Thankfully, it did not matter this last combat. But:

Quote

Combined battle: In combat, the players of the same Alli- ance battle together on the same side in the same battle, instead of fighting separate battles. If one of the Allies is the defender, all other allies are also considered defenders and win Initiative ties.

If there is an initiative tie in a hex where an ally is present but the owner does not have ships, does the ally gain defender status?

I'm thinking of D'rek's defense of Khell's homeworld. I had her firing first in the cannon engagements simply because I had copy/pasted from 309 where she won the initiative because it was her hex. Who should have fired first in 226?

Minor Rules issue:

Tatts you said something a couple of days ago about helping someone else with point defense. Point defense only works on the missiles targeting your ships. You can't shoot down those targeting your alliy's ships.

I'm fairly sure the battle in Khell's homeworld was done correctly but it's a good question.

We went through this before in Game II but I can't recall the outcome.

As I recall the main issue is when the point defense becomes active. In missile combat you shoot, roll to hit for each shot, and assign hits as damage. Point defense applies to prevent damage (not hits) and so it can only be used to shoot down missiles whose post-hit damage is assigned to the vessels having point defense.

Also, each weapon, regardless of damage output, gets to fire at only one incoming missile. The exception is where a player has antimatter splitter, in which case a single AM cannon shot could potentially destroy 4 incoming missiles.

Did I sum that up right?

rule book said:

Point Defense: After your op- ponent has rolled and allocated the dice for Missiles of one Ship type, you get to fire all your Can- nons once against the incom- ing Missiles before they hit your fleet. Each die that hits destroys a Missile. Your Computers affect the Point Defense, but your oppo- nent's Shields do not.




Q: Can Point Defense be used against Missiles as- signed to your Allies' Ships?
A: No, only against Missiles assigned to your own Ships.

Q: What if my opponent has several Ship types with missiles – can I use Point Defense against each Ship type?
A: Yes. The base combat rules state that dice are rolled and resolved separately for each Ship type.




Q: Isn't the combination of Antimatter Cannon, An- timatter Splitter and Point Defense extremely strong against Missiles?
A: It is very strong. If you are relying on a Missile-only fleet, make sure you do not make enemies with that player – or do not let him get all three Technologies.

So. yeah, I'd say your summary is spot on.


KHELL! It's your flipping turn.

Which are of course wrong. I didn't move anyone's action discs.

IH any suggestions for my first move here?

[twelve]

Khell would you hurry up and break my heart already. This forcing me to wait is just cruel and unusual punishment.

Khell you big suspense maker you

Back in the morning

[Imperial Historian]

I have my viva/thesis defence tomorrow. I'll think about this again on Friday.

[Galactic Council]

Dazzle them with your brilliance.

Of have Khell show and baffle them with his bullshit.

[Khellendros]

As Tatts should well know, it was my birthday today, hencw my disappearing act.

[Khellendros]

I don't want gluons, I never wanted them. I have plus one computers on my ships as standard, shard hull gives me armour and another plus one computer. I want twelve to have gluon.

Drek, tapper, what think ye?
