Twelve is totally going for the tachyon source

Yes I am but I still think my case is valid. Grab the military tech while you can. There will be a souce available later. There are very good odds that at least one will be available next round. And like CF says he can put a nuclear source on his starbases to cover the energy usage of the antimatter cannons even if a source doesn't come around. 3 5 hulled starbases with antimatter cannons would stop anything other than a full on assault. Hell 6 power is all he needs for his starbases anyway with antimatter cannons and gluon computers with his 2 double hulls.

Just fucking around with Twelve's prediction. I was a bit surprised at the results.
no source == 18%
one source == 66%
two source == 14%
three source == 2%

Research Antimatter Cannons. Flip as many colony ships (1 or 2) as required to pay for it.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Hi, sorry to be a promise breaker and not post yesterday. Pitch competition took longer than expected and I had to jet.

Research antimatter cannons.


Twelve's reasoning matches mine. I can deal with a lack of source, even if I want to get gluons next round, but I can't deal with a lack of damage-inflicting capability.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Note, this is the first time in any of the games so far that I've bought more than superficial military tech. Sweet!

Round 5 Action Phase

Turn 1

Tatts: Research positron computer -5 == 1 left (these notes are mostly for my use. They show what my board reflects.)

Gnaw the indecisive

• Research nanorobots -2 == 6 left
• $0, Sci 6, Ma 13

Twelve

• Research Tractorbeam cost 2 science. Put it on the top row -2 == 8 left
  (4$,8S,10M Upkeep -2)

IH

• Research starbases -3 == 0 left
• £3 S0 M11 Upkeep -2

Morgoth

• Research - positron computers and distortion shield(placed on top track). -11 == 2 left
• This leaves me at
• $ 2
• S 2
• M 11
• Upkeep - 7

CF Research antimatter cannons. -13 == 2 left


Tapper Research Antimatter Cannons. Flip as many colony ships (1 or 2) as required to pay for it. -9 == 0 no ships used

Khell

D'rek - Provisional research advanced robotics


Other than Khell, I think that's about as far as we can go with pure actions unless we hear from Tatts. After Khell makes his action Gnaw will throw up a provisional.

Now you just need somebody to attack you so you can use it.

(Definitely NOT a threat of any sore. Simply an observation.)

[Tattersail_]

I'm around.

[Gnaw]

for how long? did you get the message about sending your provisionals to twelve? one at a time. If you've got ideas/plans/ etc.

and invoke the "my allies can veto my provisional" please.

[Gnaw]

And any ideas what we should do?

I'm tempted to say we ought to take the center.

[Tattersail_]

Im around to make my move whenever. Not so much to plan ahead though. Just going to build or upgrade

I never realized how physically big the game is.






Turn 2 - Reasearch Advanced Robotics
-3 upkeep $1, Sc 1, Ma 13

[Gnaw]

Tatts it is your turn

[Tattersail_]

I haven't looked at board but
Upgrade pos computer over fusion drive in dread
Improve hull over hull in dread
pos comp over elec comp on cruiser

[Tattersail_]

Makr sure that is legal for me gnaw. Limited access at moment.

Put the computer on the cruiser.

Put the hull on the dread. And remove the fusion drive revealing the -1 shield?




Or put the imp hull over the shield.
