Option D. Use your interceptor to pin the ancient and then attack IH and skip all the other options until his Dread has been destroyed.

I like this option the best cf.

Tapper wants the anti matter cannon and splitter. It's why he's building his middle track. IH does have a couple of moves but I doubt he wants to use them.

If you pin his dread then I should be able to take the ancient homeworld and we can open diplo at the end of the round.

You don't have great tech like IH and Tapper. We need to go on the offensive if we want to trim that tree.

Actually, I build the track because Improved Hull was available (and I wasn't going to let THAT pass me by) and that purchase worked only for 5 (starting science) if I combined it with Gauss Shield. I then more or less needed Advanced Eco and the one thing that fit well into one purchase with it was Tractor Beam. If I really, really wanted the splitter, I'd have bought it this turn instead of letting it sit on the board - I have the science for it.

I'll be gone most of the afternoon.

I don't have the SVG file open.

[Gnaw]

Hey Shinies, can I borrow 3 mats from you?

Move your interceptor to that discovery.

[cerveza_fiesta]

Tatts,

Alliance at end of round then unless something goes horribly awry? I will try to cede the ancient homeworld to you next round too if moves allow.

Now that the turtle alliance to the east is gearing up, I think it's our best shot if we team up. Probably best to pass so you aren't dead last if possible.

Well if you pin his dread I'd take the ancient homeworld comfortably. I get vp for the discovery. We open diplo and create an alliance at the end of the round.

There's kinda no way for me to just pin his dread without sacrificing a ship to you as well...I'd rather not squander the materials.

It's only an interceptor. You could probably take Blends homeworld as well.

[Gnaw]

Who are we waiting on?

[D'rek]

INFluence. Flip up two colony ships, then colonize advanced materials in Castor and Vega.

[twelve]

So change my provisional. I only move one cruiser to Gnaw's homeworld. Use the second move to move the int in the nebula to the discovery tile. Time to wrap these up and to prevent D'rek from going to my homeworld for a stop in the ancient hex. I am correct in reading that Gnaw has the jump drive on his cruiser and there is only a half wormhole in the nebula I vacated to my homeworld? Correct?

You never know. You might roll 6 sixes and I'll not get a shot off.

Yeah fat chance. I could do an upgrade on my crusiers to give me a 50% shot against them and will likely take out one starbase and bang up the other but do I want to count on my double ion cannon interceptors to get 2 6's before your starbase can get two 5's & 6's? That is what I need to figure out soon as most everyone else has already passed besides the uber aggressive Orion.

Well, Khell is up so you've got many hours to make up your mind.

I was wondering how you were expecting to win. I thought you had something up your sleeve I was missing.
