The draw pile is empty again. The discard pile becomes the new draw pile.

There is one Tier III tile remaining. The pulsar.

Hmm. Gonna think about this one a couple of minutes.

Sorry. Had to go explain once again to my dad that he can't record two programs at the same time and watch a third. He can use the DVR fine, he just can't quite get why he can't watch something else when there are two recording.

Ancient Orbital 02

[Imperial Historian]

Reports have reached the great minds of stirring on the far side of the mysterious warp portal. A new race reaches through, sending an ambassador to open discussions. In return we send an ambassador bearing word of our good will towards all. Our ambassador has sent us some of the ancient technology of the ancients, allowing us to expand our production capacity. The great minds are pleased, but on assessing the probabilities and the economics determine that the mechanema should pause, contemplate, and assimilate our new knowledge.

I don't need to decide on a direction until the technology draw right?

[Tapper]

Is there any ring 3 tile left or did Twelve get the last one from the discard pile? Did CF explore ring 1 between me and him (between 206 and 202 yet?: he did)
I am a little bit confused.

[Imperial Historian]

The remaining pulsar is still available

[Tapper]

That makes it easier.

FIRST OPTION:
Discover tier III from the last open wormhole in my homeworld.
Claim it for the glory of the Keepers of Magellan

CONDITIONAL IF FIRST OPTION IS ILLEGAL:
If anyone else discovers the Pulsar first: curse them, long and good.
Then Influence: turn the used colonyship face up, remove the discs from the two empty tier III hexes I discovered, and colonize the following planets:

money on Aldebaran (107)
research on Pollux (102)
materials on Epsilon thingummy (206)

[Imperial Historian]

All the explores gone in round 1, that's unusual, normally you'd expect some to stick around until at least round 2! Strong start from Tapper, that double money start as the Magellan gives a LOT of options.

Can we have an update now all the explores are out, I'm struggling to keep track.

Yes, I would like one also. I am thinking of doing an influence and changing a grey planet and colonising the money planet

@Gnaw

If it causes a rule quandary, just don't worry about it. I'm not massively upset either way. It's my mistake for forgetting about the disco tile and to be fair to the other players I should probably not get to influence the hex.

EDIT

And it's not like somebody can easily take it from me anyway.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Actually, yeah, gnaw. Forget about influencing it. Nobody can take it from me easily and I'll break even with my territories as-is.

Save the trouble and rule-bending.

So is this a Pass then as it is your go at the moment?

[Imperial Historian]

I'm assuming everyone apart from Tapper is passing? What with everyone being broke? If so Tapper presumably you are going to do that influence action after your explore? If you're doing anything after that you might want to put the provisionals in now so we can get the tech draw in and start the next round.

Anyway I am going to do my upkeep now:

I'm bankrupt, so remove disc from warp portal hex.

New bank:
Upkeep=0 $=1 S=6 M=7

And just so we're clear Gnaw, if you influence through that warp portal I will mercilessly crush you

Pulsar: Upgrade Improved Hull into the empty space of my interceptor.

[Tattersail_]

I might take an action IH. Waiting on a full update before deciding.

Can you use the pulsar in the same round that you Influence it? For some reason I thought you had to wait a round.
