Tech seems to have become a VP getter for me this game anyway, and I was going to research AM cannons or the drives anyway.

If he chooses not to research those fusion drives, I can get 6 init. Not too bad - enough to beat his intys, but I'm SOL on his starbases still. You're right anyway, the hulls are the best option for sure, no matter what type of ship I go with.

EDIT

To answer your other question

He could build a SB or inty to unpin the dreads, but nobody is attacking (with expectation of winning) the GC, so it means he has to waste one of his few remaining moves to build some ships in a not-so-useful hex instead of building them where it counts.

@Khell, am I missing a ship from you somewhere, I think there should be a ship on the board for you, let me know and I can cross check it.

I should have an interceptor in that hex I took from you.

UPGRADE Interceptors with Fusion Source over Nuclear Source and Positron Computer in blank space.

GIVE ME TACHYON DRIVES OR GIVE ME DEATH!!

can't remember how much they cost exactly, but my modifier on tech in that row is -6 at present.

also,

D'rek, you probably have opportunity to do your build action. I don't think there's any need to pin a dread right this turn. You might as well build some ships and be ready to pin later. At worst it forces him to reveal some strategy or burn a turn on a more frivolous action.


also - I know we dealt with this already, but do the ancients and Twelve fight as allies? If not, who would I fight first in that hex next to me?

Speaking from a position of guessing - they don't fight as allies. You'd fight twelve first, and then the ancient (with your possibly damaged ships).

Yup. Just like Morgoth did a few rounds ago. The ancients were the only reason I won as he took out my starbase after I dinged up his cruiser a bit.

And do missiles get to fire once per fight or only once for the whole thing (ie I would waste them on the ancients and then be defenceless).

I believe you get to fire them again as it's a new fight (everything's reset apart from damage).


Again, a guess waiting for twelve's validation.

Again this is correct. But don't expect to get a shot at the ancients there CF. I foresee a huge pile of rubble in your near future.

So waiting on blend/tatts then?
