@CF Buy a mac. Just so you can use the beta of this.

I've used it for 30 minutes and love it. Fast, intuitive, and beautiful.

Is the 201 fighter going to stay in 201 as a precaution against D'rek coming through the wall again?

Yes. I do not have the resources to do much more than defend.

[Imperial Historian]

OK I guess I'll move my dreadnought from 101 to 305.

[Gnaw]

Morgoth, if I move my interceptor out of your zone do you want to exchange ambassadors?

Very Provisional:

Move:

• Interceptor from Lamda Aurigae 230 to Epsilon Carinae 324
• Interceptor from Procyon 221 to Epsilon Indi 206
• Exchange ambassadors with the squids; cube on money
• -17 upkeep, $2, 5 sci, 3 mats in bank. 3 colony ships available. Income $15, 3 sci, 8 mats.

No. Yours is 304. 305 is Khell's warp portal hex.

[twelve]

Then no reaction

Damn. I'm not certain exactly what happened but Affinity is doing some great compression. I opened the 256mb svg file with it. Saved it in the proprietary .afdesign file format. Size dropped to 160mb. Then exported it back to a fully editable svg format. 77mb. Opened that with Inkscape. Almost zero changes and none so far that are more than annoyances, such as all the layers being saved as grouped objects in a single layer.

Are you sure? Tapper can potentially pin your interceptor in 206.

You missed the "very" I see.

My options are:

• move either of the interceptors to Khell's homeworld. But it's 4 hexes away so can only move one. Besides, I really don't want to take Khell's worlds; that gives him more moves. I'd rather just get my ship(s) over there for next round.
• move my cruiser. But where? Whichever hex I move it to, D'rek will simply choose the other one.
• Pass. The only reason to do that I can see is to keep Khell from choosing rotation for the last round. And keeps me from flipping more colony ships via influence.

[Gnaw]

What do you think I should do IH?

Remove provisional. That's ^^ my action. You're up Tatts. (the diplo of course is waiting on Morgoth to accept refuse)

[Morgoth]

yah, I can exchange ambassadors I guess.

Add a materials cube.

[Gnaw]

Tattersail?

[Tattersail_]

I'm up. Okay let me look

[Tattersail_]

Upgrade cruiser with plasma cannons over ion cannons.

Not enough power.

[Gnaw]

If CF doesn't mind, you all could send provisionals to him.

What was my move before this one?

It's up there in the previous update.

I upgraded both ships with source.
