Im thinking of my supernova. There is nothing i need right now. I could research plasma cannons or starbase or adv robotics. What do you think. Just do my influence now and save my science?

Influence what?

[Tattersail_]

Influence remove disc from supernova and place on iota bootus. Colonize both planets flip ships back up.

Influence supernova colonize with money and science

Upkeep -5 $2 s 5 m 10

Production $10 s 8 m 6
I think my upkeep is wrong. Caught it now. I only have plus 3 materials and science. Not plus 4.
Just minus one fron each.

I'm not sure you should be influencing or exploring. At this point in a real game I would be making significant glances at you or suggesting you come to the kitchen so I could unfold my master plan. What's the ruling on off thread communication?

Three against. Tapper, Morgoth, and Idontremember

One don't care. That'd be me.

Phone about to run out of battery. Are you sure on plasma missiles? Who else can afford them? I'd grab positron computers over missiles. You need to be able to build something soon which can defend against people. Pm doesn't give you that, computers do. Plus missiles are pretty useless without computers.

Nova Alliance, I believe we need to partition ourselves into suitable departments, with specific duties and responsibilities.

D'rek, you're the strangest

Tapper, you're the model

Khell, you're the thrush

Fixed. How did your date go on Friday?

I had a date on Friday? Do you mean my date with Sly and Arnie at the cinema? Very amusing. Best bit was when Sly punched Arnie, and Arnie just laughed and said, 'You hit like a vegetarian!' Awesome.

To hell with Friday night's date. How was breakfast on Saturday?

So because of the upkeep change you're not doing the influence action? Or you are still doing it and we should proceed?

Escorted by elite Lyrae guides and caretakers, the Magellan ambassador and his entourage are today visiting the Central Palace, also known as the Grand Shrine. While they are eating lunch at a nearby restaurant, the guides suddenly seem very excited, tearing into their fujulka bread with vigour and flashing their linguosignals more frantically than usual.

As the group makes their way back to the Grand Shrine, a psi-drone passes overhead broadcasting breaking news of a great new research development that the Triarch is implementing right away to harness the resources of formerly-useless nascent planets. Work will begin on weaving the new gluot-helix core technology into the Grid towers of Beta Lyrae VI and extending the base manifold links from there to the towers of Lambda Tauri III immediately. If this pilot project succeeds, the Triarch intends to use it to extend the Grid to the nascent Phi Piscum IX.

The Magellan ambassador, though, wonders why the guides had masked excitement before they witnessed the news.

@Gnaw - you're making Twelve feel really sad by adding the alliance members' points together instead of averaging them!

He needs things to poke holes in his swelled head.

[D'rek]

Tapper, I still have actions for BUI+MOV+MOV and the Pulsar for the UPG.

If you want to go for the centre, I am absolutely game for it and I think we will take it.

Tapper, I have you at 5/5 not 4/4.

[Tapper]

Even better. I based the numbers on what you told Tatts to tell me :-)

@ D'rek; I am game. Let's wait for Khell. Also, who claims it and how do we plan to defend it?

Exporting the board to the image program. Be up in 5 minutes.

Ok on a PC, and my knowledge of the game board is only as up to date as the last map update... but I think getting positron computers and starbases may be more valuable to you than plasma missiles. However you grabbing plasma missiles does keep it out of twelve/tappers hands, which would be a problem for us down the road. Personally I'd rather face twelve and tapper with plasma missiles and no computers... but I have improved hull. Since you and tatts don't have improved hull keeping plasma missiles out of the hands of others may play out better for us in the long run.

Tatts you do have +4 you just colonised the double ancient hex... I'd be tempted by plasma cannon or advanced robotics, but it's up to you.

[Galactic Council]

full boards are up.

Edit: LoRes are up

The same. I was going to do something else until the draw didn't bring another missile up.

You've not returned Tapper and Morgoths discs.

Also I think twelves resource totals are wrong.
