If you're trading with Gnaw, yes, or he might not accept it at all, but if it's you and me there shouldn't be any issue. We are not Tapper's enemies, per his definition.


Tapper has shown aggression towards me this game, so I'm not certain that really applies to me.


Harmless little hairballs, I'm sure, take no offense.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

IH, are you taking back Tar'Mann this round?


If he is, I guess I'd better go look up the exact wording of our mutual PDS defense treaty, since he wants to be so letter-of-the-law about it... :p

I'm hoping not or if he is he will allow me to negotiate keeping control of the planet so I can score the PO.
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

Well, I have to hold it afterwards. But my fighters only hit on a 9, and if I had a direct hit card I wouldnt use it on you anyway.

I can't say I noticed that little incursion of Blend's. The price of being distracted I guess. What do you imagine you're going to do with that carrier, Blend, and why shouldn't I swat you out out of the sky?


The carrier was moved there to clear the path for Gnaw to come through and take Lodd Eru and Mansa III, and help keep a bit of a screen between yourself and Gnaw. My plans, at this point, are to move it through the asteroid field back towards my currently unprotected planets (though I ain't gonna lie, if you hadn't reinforced Torkan/Tequ'ran, I probably would have taken a shot at taking them).

Heh - just noticed you moved all those ships outta there...

Well, I'd rather not lose that Carrier and stuff - can we come to an agreement?

I can easily take it out with a Dread and a fighter, the advantage of all my red tech. So that would have to be a pretty iron clad offer from you at this point.

And you’d better kill a fighter before sustaining damage on a dread. I want a tech out of this.

Morgoth, can you leave one GF on Torkan? Currently all those GFs are sitting aboard your carrier. Would you not have to commit them to land in an action? To be honest I don't really know.

As long as there is a ship in the system that has capacity, infantry can be moved freely between planets in that system if I'm not mistaken.

I think he can’t leave one behind. You have to activate the system to land troops.

A dread and a fighter vs my carrier and 2 fighters only gives you a 56% chance of winning. I wouldn't say that's "easy"

And yes, I've taken into account that it's a Dread2 with Duranium Armor and Non-Euclidean shielding...

Reading some things, I thing that you cannot leave it on Torkan, as you cannot 'drop off' units in an unactivated system during a movement. You could leave the 1 GF there, but then he would be floating in space and die...
