Yeah I was thinking the same, first pass might be useful, I'm not sure you need that upgrade to fight ancients or d'rek this go.

I was expecting twelve to pass this go, but now he hasn't placed the influence disc maybe he won't.

And yeah, twelve you've been doing pretty terribly this game.

Because Tatts if you don't Move to attack it this round I'll make a play for it instead.

[Tapper]

Research Positron Computer and flip 3 colonyships for science, please - it should come with a discount of -3, and +3 science gained --> 10 - 5 + 3 = 8.
That also gives me a discovery tile, please - any ships/orbitals/warp portals et cetera are deployed in my homeworld should I keep them.

so I'd be at 5 money (+8 income), 8 science (+6 income), 6 materials (+6 income) at upkeep -7.

  • @Rules:
  • Not that I have anything to do with an extra colony ship just now, but does the above constitute a use of 2 or 3 colony ships? In other words, does building an orbital require a colony ship to populate it or does it populate by default? Has to be populated
    
• I should add that my provisional move is incumbent on no aggressive action or posturing taken against me or my ally.

Tapper

• I think the money cube from Aldebaran was moved to materials, instead.

Like you pointed out I used 2 colony ships to populate the orbitals that I forgot about.
I influence and remove the disk on the supernova. That means I have to return three cubes and all three went back to the player board
I reset 2 colony ships leaving me with three colony ships to use
I place another influence disk on the supernova and populate 3 slots using my last three colony ships.
Why would I want to influence 304 when I can't populate any of the planets without using another influence action?
I get the same number of resources but use one less influence disks to gain them.

Your Option B has a mistake. After I repopulate the grey planets with science I use up two more colony ships and that leaves me only one left. So I choose option B and use the last colony ship on the adv material slot on the supernova while we are at it.

I know. Processing the turn now. Trying to make sure I get the influence actions correct for once.

[Gnaw]

"Admiral Kzaargh. Chmee Gnaw. I have the official recommendation from the plans and operations group. The group feels that it our best option is to build more ships, consolidate and protect what we possess."

"And what is the recommendation of Fleet Admiral Kzaargh's newest staff member?"

"I think they're mostly a bunch of herbivores without the brains of a sand flee."

"Gnaw already knows you think you're the smartest person in the room Second-Daughter-of Chtarra Riit. He was asking for the recommendation of a Child of Draco. I'm asking my Fleet Operations Officer for her official decision."

"Scream and leap Admiral. The group is right to be cautious. They're just wrong about the when."

"See Kzaargh, she's a genius."

"Agreeing with you Gnaw does not make her a genius."

"It does if I'm one Kzaargh."

"You're both senile. And drunk."

"Gnaw, you're right. She is a genius. Send the ships Operations Officer."
