[Gnaw]

"Fleet Admiral Kzaargh and Chmee Gnaw it is my honor to inform you of the signing of the alliance treaty with the Mechanema."

"Excellent work Ambassador-to-Mechanema. We had complete confidence in you."

"Kzaargh is right, we knew you could do it. The animals have been busy while you were occupied. The Humans and the Hydrani have allied. The Magellans, Lyra, and Planta have joined forces. You're going to visit the humans now. Relieve Ambassador-to-Humans. His presence there is of no consequence any longer. Or anywhere else for that matter, so feel free to relieve him of his ears if you wish."

"Your will Chmee is my pleasure. Surely I'm not going there just to rid the galaxy of his presence?"

"Your mission is to point out to the Humans that an investment in a Trade Fleet would be to the advantage to their alliance and ours. And a disadvantage to the Magellans and the Planta."

[D'rek]

When it comes back around to me:

PULSAR - Move interceptor from Beta Lyrae to Lambda Tauri

Gnaw how many more actions are you looking to take.

At least two. You have to influence and then explore. So I have to do <something> and then Influence.

[Morgoth]

Can we get a map update soon too? I'd like to have a bit better an idea of where people are.

Done

[Tattersail_]

Is it my go?

My science marker should be at 1.

I was going to try and go for advanced labs but I have miscalculated and should not have researched the fusion drive. I would have had 4 science with an income of 6 with the influence manoeuvre I was about to undertake. Now with only 1 science I would have to convert 4 materials to get the advanced labs. It would also depend on rotation. I have to re think.

No, still CF

thanks, fixed.

[Galactic Council]

Did we ever come to a consensus on off thread communication for alliances?

Morgoth said he didn't want it.

I didn't care.

But I don't recall anyone else chiming in. Could be wrong though.

[Tattersail_]

80% my cruiser and dread versus those ancients as it stands. I am looking at ways to improve this situation.

95% if I upgrade hull over the source on both cruiser and dread.

[Tattersail_]

That is what I am going to do. Round 3 I will do the influence and explore that tier 2 hex if you like Gnaw. Unless IH can do it for you this round?

Thankfully, even our alien-loving supreme director is capable of reason. His decision today to devote research cubits to the development of fusion drives triggered a collective sigh of relief from right-leaning Directorate Board of Directors members. I guess he realized that he wasn't going to be able to rescue the Cabot from the vicinity of the Starforge due to the ancient & Draco threats, he figured it might be a good idea to get some faster ships. TOO BAD HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SHIPS TO PUT THE DRIVES ON.

The incompetence of our SD in this situation is appalling. Hopefully he is replaced soon with someone who has the colonies' best interests at heart.

Morgoth

What are your plans here? I plan to pass next and save up to get orbitals next turn. We're penned in via Formahaut for the time being, which should be a relatively easy chokepoint to defend over the next couple of rounds. You should think about the same, we're limited in the number of systems we can occupy now, and a few orbitals (esp in your territories) would help us quite a bit.

We should think about who takes the discoveries too. A good weapon or computer tech would be an asset for my starbases on the front lines, though I guess if Formahaut is the main chokepoint, we can always trade the territory so you can build stations on it.

[cerveza_fiesta]

@Gnaw,

Would you mind using one of your placeholder posts to say who is in which alliance? I'm a bit confused about it.

EDIT

Forgot that there are actually game tiles for this. Maybe in your next board update just add the alliance tiles and then it will be clear.

Everything on thread, I'd suggest.
