Khell after upkeep

I think I should have some money, no?

I think I was on -3 upkeep, with 1 money in the bank, so should have 2 money now.

You were on -5 upkeep with 1 in the bank and 4 income.

[Tattersail_]

I think so anyway;

Yes, see above. You did a research, upgrade, upgrade.

OMG CF you lucky boy. That last research helped you out.

Basically you rolled a 3 for Deneb + 2 for your research track = 5. 4 would have made you explode I think.

Wait, was that not round 3 of the game? This game has had a few vacation-related lulls so I forget!

If we just finished round 3 then I was immune. Snake eyes + 2 > 3. To maintain immunity your smallest research track must be 1 tech behind the round count.

If we just finished round 4, then I would have blown up had you rolled snake eyes for either supernova.

We are about to start round 5.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Ah ok...duh on my part then.

I was *mostly* immune at least.

I have done draw for next round.

[cerveza_fiesta]

and that is....

On page one.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Wait, are you 100% sure we're on round 5 now? I only see 3 previous rounds on page 1 and the last round in spoilers says round 3.
Either way, I think that's a no-brainer first move for me:

Research imp. hulls for 3 science

Yes, I have a file for each round done so far. look at the top of storage track

I am not going to update the map now until next Tuesday because of Easter weekend. However, we should be able to do at least 2 turns before it gets too complicated. Then I can update everything in one go next week.

That's an interesting tech draw. Improved hull and shard hull decreases the power of missiles without computers. But twelve can afford gluon's... So it might well be academic.

Materials seem particularly rare this game.

Curious to see what everyone goes for...

Cf must be cursing the lack of advanced mat and advanced econ.

[Morgoth]

Wait, so which direction do we move?

I guess I will keep shard hull and place it on my cruiser, above the standard hull slot. Even if improved hull makes it all the way to me, I would have picked shard hull before the draw as i would not have know at the time.

Yes, both of those would be nice. I was hoping for missiles most actually, high init starbases are only a good deterrent so long as they can survive a couple of plasma missile hits.

I still have another system I'll probably claim to build an orbital + get more material production though. That plus another research action should make it highly unlikely I'll lose either supernova next round.

[Morgoth]

sooo, am I third or fifth?

[Tattersail_]

It is up to Khell. I assume he is going towards himself so he can take advantage of his double research but you never know with Khell.
