Its done now so no point in complaining but resolution of the battle with Khell. Targeted wrong ships or something. Also my play this game was awful

[Morgoth]

Is it my turn now, is that it?

If so I reckon I will build - 1 starbase in tier 1 tile with cruiser and 1 cruiser in tier 1 tile with starbase.

I do not fully understand how the IH-Tattas-Gnaw alliance managed to collapse so spectacularly.

They didn't water their plants properly. That made us VERY angry. And now you know what happens when your fuschia gets angry.

[Imperial Historian]

Morgoth I am also confused as to how spectacularly wrong things have gone.

Please leave us alone and i will do my best to stop drek taking all of tatts and gnaws systems.

I'm still clueless as to how drek has managed to thoroughly trounce gnaw and tatts... Despite not actually having any decent ships or weapon tech. Truly great play.

[Imperial Historian]

Also I have a provisional post in with gnaw which he can put on thread once morgoth has his go as I probably won't be around.

What do you suggest for me to do? I know its hopeless, you should go it alone.

It came as quite the shock. All of the sudden the top of the map just folded. It was amusing to follow, but hardly ideal from the perspective of the University and our Directorate allies.

I certainly do not wish to hamper your ability to defed against D'rek and her lot. Keep fighting the good fight and you'll see no hostility from me.

[Khellendros]

Morghy, CF: Your ships are absolutely ridiculous. All you need is some vanity plates and lowrider suspension.

To the High Dean of the Beta Hydrii Prime Academy for the Military Arts, Esq., Ph.D.:


We fear the worst is yet to come from the Formahaut sector. The recent "unconfirmed" reports of dreadnought construction by the separatists are absolutely true. We suspect construction may be complete within the next 2-3 cycles. Whilst maintaining our aura of pacifism, our efforts behind the scenes have been anything but. Android simulacrums (purchased at great cost from the Mechanema) have successfully infiltrated the rebel command. They are now feeding us real-time information and have deployed an advanced subversion virus on the helm computers of the dreadnoughts. The simulacrums are poised to wrest control from the separatist pilots the minute the ships are launched.


I send you this message so that we might coordinate our efforts. Once the fusion drives are fully powered, we will have control of two battle-ready dreadnoughts to assist in our allied efforts. We can send them wherever they are needed. All we need from you is some indication as to the direction you plan to take.


We have decided on this risky course of action rather than a frontal assault on Formahaut Prime. If successful it will result very little bloodshed and the dreadnoughts will be under Procyon control. In a strange way, the separatists may rally to the Procyon cause at such a display of strategy and strength. If it fails, well, we were fucked anyway.

I will research diplomatic fleet for 6 materials.

Tatts I have no idea what to do to rescue your situation, I will help out with attacks if I can (I have some move freedom now at least), but I haven't got a plan as such. Try and get some ships on the board, your weapontech outclasses drek for now, so the more ships you build the better. Just don't throw them away this time!

Drek's researching neutron absorbers though makes it entirely probable that she can afford to just abandon systems and we won't be able to take them off her. But don't lose any more systems and get some material production somehow, and maybe we can salvage something here.

lol, the "somehow" part is up to you Tatts


@ Twelve:

You're now officially the fourth unofficial member of the Chillax Alliance. As such, you shall enjoy tremendous benefits. Most of them ephemeral and symbolic, of course, but we do also supply the best weed bar none - made from Planta younglings (so sweet, so succulent), rolled by the unsurpassed skill of the nimble six-fingered Lyra, and transported on elite specially-cooled Magellan preservation ships. In return, all we ask is that you throw your mighty weight against IH's clunking tin cans.

Can someone put up a direct link to the latest map again so I can read it on my phone?

Also tatts, are you sure upgrading your dread is a good idea? Realistically aren't you stuck with cruisers for the rest of the game?

[D'rek]

Influence
-move Delta Eridani (209) disc to pollux (102) - science cube returns to population track
-move disc from influence track to Epsilon Carinae (324)
-flip up two colony ships and colonize Epsilon Carinae (money) and Beta Lyrae (money)


Khell - go ahead and grab Delta Eridani anytime you want. Do you want Epsilon Carinae by the end of the round? I can vacate it later in the round if you like.

I can either have one dread next round. Or one cruiser next round. Or two cruiser if I convert resources.

What are your thoughts?

Can you influence Pollux? Oh, are you doing it from that interceptor of yours in the GC?


I will INFLUECE Delta Eridani and colonise science planet. Flip colony ship.


D'rek, I can either finish my round now and pass next go (might be first to pass), or I can influence Carinae as long as you let go of it on your next turn, as I wouldn't be able to afford waiting longer than that. As I don't think you'd want to do that, there's no problem for me to wait till next round to influence it.

[D'rek]

That sounds good to me, I like the early pass as I think both Tapper and I will do many actions this round. Guarantees us 1-2 next round regardless of the orientation chosen.
