I updated everyone's first post to reflect round 7 start data. Please triple check for accuracy.

the only discrepancy I know exists is IH's income. Due to the large time frame gap I'm inclined to simply leave it as is. If somebody wants to figure out what it should actually be, rep and one grilled cheese sandwich would be supplied.

Looks good to me, but what is the Special: GCDS: 2 under Tapper's points? Does he get points for killing the GCDS?

does he not?

@CF I can't figure out how to attach an image to a PM.



Those are the layers in the file.

• Cubes and discs is a holdover from when I was converting them from jpg raster images to vector objects.
• Moving Stuff is ship parts, resource pegs, black colony ships.
• Ships is just that. I was preparing to convert those from raster to vector. Still haven't done that.
• Tech is the unresearched techs. Once each round's researches are over I lock that layer.
• Temp is a transitional layer for parking things. Currently only contains the numbers for VPs. The numbers are all grouped into a single object. By using the Text tool I can double click a specific number and change it without disturbing the other numbers.
• Empty contains one version of my "simple hex" vector objects.
• Simple Hexes is another version of them.
• Hexes is the jpg raster images. Always locked so I can't accidentally move them.
• Playerboards is those along with many other things that I don't want moved (mostly) ever:
  • The tech board, preview window, VP table
  • Tech that has been researched
  • The three extra influence discs
  • Discovery tiles
  • Ambassadors
  • Colony ships. I move the black ones off and on as used.
• Simple Background is just the greyscale gradient for each of the vector hexes of version two. I realized that it was easier to have those seperate from the individual simple hexes. I think. It might have been the other way around.
• Background is the nebula image. The computer works faster with that in hidden view, Always locked.

Having that many layers looks confusing but being able to lock/unlock and hide/show entire groups of objects makes manipulating them much easier. More importantly it saves much time by not being able to accidentally move things.

That looks easy enough to deal with. I had planned on doing that layering business but never got a round tuit in the midst of modding game III.

Just say the word when you want me to take over.

[Tapper]

Provisional:

Research Conifold Field if not researched yet by anyone (5 science). Place on the third track, please.

Back-up: if it is taken: research Star Base.

@ D'rek: I might need some assistance on the front if Morghy/ CF keep up the aggression. They're sitting each at more than double my materials.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Upgrade dread blueprint


ZPS over nuclear source, Gluon computer over electron computer.

I don't know!

GC dread is worth points for sure. Not sure about GCDS.

[Khellendros]

The Planta are always happy to receive advice from the lilaculous*** Lyra. We do wonder whether it might be a good idea to re-influence the wormhole hex first and foremost, though, before someone (IH) flies in a ship to stop us from doing so?



*** In Plantic culture, the lilac is a symbol of wisdom. And purpleosity.

Yeah, that makes sense. For some reason I had forgotten about the south wormhole so didn't think about IH moving in through it.

[Morgoth]

I believe I will research advanced robotics - trading 3 materials for the missing point in science.

Is that what you want to do?

[Khellendros]

Yup, I just need to check one thing with D'rek - D'rek, do you still need that hex where your interceptor is, or can I influence that one also?

If D'rek doesn't need it, then INFLUENCE Lambda Serpentis and Epsilon Carinae. If she does want it, then INFLUENCE Lambda Serpentis and that empty hex...Iota Persei?

I'd like it eventually. If you want it this round you can have it, but I would want it by next round at the least. Otherwise, I will take it this round.

By the way, did you want Delta Eridani?

[Galactic Council]

IH was on his way to Tokyo. Said he'd put a provisional in when he got there.
