Khell, I almost forgot the Construction secondary. Edited it in.

You did forget it. I was waiting for Tatts to post to comment on it.


Still our turn. 😁

I've just noticed that Everra doesn't have any planetary type designation (i.e. it's not hazardous, industrial, or cultural). Is that an oversight or intentional?

Isn't it considered an anomaly tile so doesn't have any other designation?


I accept this answer.


That was my intention, yes (and same for Mallice (and Cormund, if I ever make that tile)). Special planets that don't have major civilian populations or industry due to their difficulty for non-military ships to access and unique make-up makes them not part of the typical galactic trade lines, politics, resource industries, etc.

@Blend - I picked up a Maneuvering Jets that I probably (hopefully?) won't need. If you at some point are thinking you'll want to be able to cancel a hit from the PDSs on Nestphar, you can buy it off me for cheap.

I'll take the worthless card off your hands. I have no idea what I would do with it but I'm sure I can think of something.

I didn't think you would want to sell it to me as I'm planning to kick you off Rex and the AC allows me to negate the pds. As for buying it, No thanks. I need to wait to see what Gnaw intends first before I commit resources on an action card that might not even be needed as its either already gone and replace with mightier defenses.

We would pay that for it. I need 1TG though. How about we give you our trade PN and you pay Tapper’s fee?

Someone's going to kick me off MR sooner or later - probably sooner. I'm not expecting to hold it long nor going to really make a big effort to try and stop that. With the way the Speaker token was headed, it seemed likely I'd be a last/near-last pick next round, so grabbing MR for the custodians token plus mitigating getting stuck with IMPERIAL next round, plus 1 use of MR for CTs (albeit I was hoping the DIPLO/LEADERSHIP timing would let me use it this round, too) was a good exchange for the investment this round. But I have no plans to make it a long-term investment.

Amongst other things.

Technologies:
+ Neural Motivator - During the status phase, draw 2 action cards instead of 1.
+ Hyper Metabolism - Gain 3 command tokens (instead of 2) during status phase.
+ Antimass Deflectors - Your ships can move into and through asteroid fields. When other players' units use SPACE CANNON against your units, apply -1 to the result of each die roll.
+ Gravity Drive - After you activate a system, apply +1 to the move value of 1 of your ships during this tactical action.
+ Sarween Tools - When 1 or more of your units use PRODUCTION, reduce the combined cost of the produced units by 1.
+ Plasma Scoring - When 1 or more of your units use BOMBARDMENT or SPACE CANNON, 1 of those rolls may roll 1 additional die.
+ Deep Space Cannon - PDS II.



Such a tasty shopping list.

After you take Qucen'n/Rarron, right? I'd hate to see those dreads headed my way.
