This game needs a player to player economy.

for example: IH sells me jump drive for 1 influence disc.

[twelve]

That would make things very interesting indeed.

[Gnaw]

IH, I have no idea what you should do at this point. You've got the best shot (of our alliance) at taking out some of D'rek's systems. With your jump drive however, you can be a very creditable threat to Morgy. But that would mean not getting shellworld.


Tapper has the best shot at ruining D'rek's day. Flip 3 colony ships for 3 science. Exchange 6 money/mats in whatever combination for 2 more science. Wormhole generator + interceptors with AntiM cannon.

[Galactic Council]

IH, it is your turn btw.

Anyway I think

Move Dread from 305 to 382 and cruiser from 234 to 204 makes the most sense.

Gnaw/Tatts feel free to pull things back if you think I should be doing something radically different.

Erm, I've had my go, we are waiting on Tatts

Just had an epic 5 player game of eclipse, which ended on a 3 player draw with 34 points each, and me on 32 pts (but with the traitor card so 34 before the traitor card). Ridiculously close. I'd have won with 35 pts but rolled snake eyes in the crucial battle, when any other roll would have won. Really enjoyed playing as pirates though, trashing everyone's fleet at least once in the game before I got ganged up on.

First real life game played with all 3 mini expansions. Supernova was loved by all, pulsar and nebula weren't as popular, but nebula definitely is interesting.

But who won via resources-tie-breaker???


I've played with all the mini-expansions now, too. I don't really like Pulsar that much, usually only hang onto it for a couple rounds early on but pretty soon I find you start wanting full actions more than the one planet trade-off you get for reducing a full action to a reaction.

Everyone loves supernovas. Apparently they reprinted it where the science planet is no longer advanced because it was too overpowered towards Hydrani, or something. I've played with that new version. 3 immediately-useable population slots plus 2 advanced ones means no one ever turns these down, but we did have one game where two unlucky rolls around round 4 or so lead to both exploding very early.

Nebulas are weird. They can get really annoying when you are trying to reach someone nearby and it becomes this super long path with all the sub-sectors in-between, plus you can't do diplomacy across them. It's so fun to explore one between yourself and another player and stick the ancient towards them so you can gobble all the discoveries, though!

They're numbered differently. Next game can have FOUR supernovas!

Ah Improved Hull. It's finally there for me to buy.


Swap 6 science for 2 materials. BUILD 2 interceptors in Iota Persei.
