After a quick check on BGG, it seems the consensus is that missiles fire for every battle, with "battle" being defined as every fight between exactly 2 players. There were 2 battles in Arcturus (as D'rek said above). In the ancient battle therefore I should have fired another 8 missiles prior to the cannon round you rolled. I'm happy to leave things as-is but will abstain from a vote on the matter of course. Not like me firing 8 missiles helps their chances at any rate.

RE disco tile What are the house rules RE the disco tile? It was still available since Twelve wasn't allowed to collect it. In previous games did we get to see what it was before deciding to keep the tech or the VP?

The Hydrans not fully understanding that the missilies can never hit on a 1 didn't realise that they would probably have had more look with an extra improved hull because the Dracon dread has plus 6 computers. Only realising this now, the dread fires 6 plasma missiles.

The first misses but the next 5 hit making a messy ruin of the Hydran Starbase. 2 phase shields may have not been enough. The Hydrans put up a good fight.

I did know that, actually The original plan was to put on two phase shields and suicide, but in the end I changed my mind.

yeah, when you influence the tile you get to see discovery. Then it's up to you whether keeping the tech or vp is best for you.

I still would have had a 50% success rate but that was why I added the cannon, just to be sure.

Retreat to gc.

That means he still gets a shot at you.

Yes. He gets one shot at me. So don't roll a 6.

I know, but that would have been quite an improvement to the 100% chance of failure I would have had otherwise (and indeed, did).

Retreat succesful. Did you all watch the video?

[twelve]

Cool.

What video?

In the battle scene between you and Morgy?

[cerveza_fiesta]

so whats my disco tile? I MUST KNOW

[Tattersail_]

Okay, I'll get caught up. I was waiting on twelve for a while. I have tasks now;

reputation tiles
who is influencing what
colonizing what
supernova/cleanup
draw research

anything else?

[cerveza_fiesta]

The terrrans influence Arcturus. Populate 2x money and 1x science.

What is my DISCOVERY TILE - MY GOD I MUST KNOW IT IS KILLING ME.

actually, I'll probably keep the VPs unless it's a free monolith or something.

[Tattersail_]

Reputation

Delta Hydra

Khell draws 1

Twelve draws 1 and 2, keeps the 2.

Sigma Draconus


Morgoth Draws 1 puts back in deck

Twelve Draws 2, 2, 1 puts back in deck

Mu Cass


Morgoth Draws 1

Twelve Draws 1 both returned to deck

Castor


Morgoth draws 1 puts it back

D'rek draws 2, 4 and 1 keeps the 4.

Arcturus


Twelve draws 2 puts back

CF draws 2, 2, 3, 2, 1 and keeps the 3.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Respectable draw I guess. I was reading up on the rules for descendants of draco too....didn't realize they get a VP for every ancient ship remaining at the end of the game. So I robbed Twelve of a 4VP hex there! Sweet!

umm

Sorry twelve.

You discover +6 materials

[Tattersail_]

I need Twelve to let me know about Delta Hydra, D'rek to let me know about the two hexes she took. What do you want to do?

[D'rek]

I will influence Morgoth's homeworld, but not the other hex.

That will bankrupt me, so I de-influence 201 (I think it is 201 - can't read a thing on the OP map...). 1 influence disk, 1 materials cube and 1 money cube go back.

Colonize Morgoth's homeworld with 1 cube of each track.

Upkeep:

____money: 3 +10 -13 | 0
__science: 2 +15 ... | 17
materials: 7 + 6 ... | 13

[cerveza_fiesta]

+6 mats is very tempting, but I will keep the VPs from the disco tile

Upkeep

After influencing, cost = -21
production was +12, now +18 after colonization
bank 4

-22+18+4=1

Science


bank=0
production = +6, now +8 after colonization

0+8=8


Materials
bank=5production = +12
0+12=12
