I'll offer reliable trade alliance regardless of any deal. As a trade benefits both parties.

As you probably can see influence will be highly sort after and my slice does not offer that.

So our deal would be me moving one ship into empty space hex, move it away early next round. My cruiser can hold one infantry so I'll probably be moving that with one infantry so I can explore one of the systems I'll be missing out on this round. Ie double planet system.

In return you get my awesome one time card that allows extra resources and tech specialties.

This agreeable?

Am I missing anything?

What double planet system? Won’t you need to go there in order to claim the three outer hexes objective? Or do you just mean you won’t be landing on those planets this time round?

Yeah xanhact. I'll occupy cealdri this round.

Do you want me to paste the card I am talking to you about again so you can see it?

I've not thought much about Hope's End, have you? Why does IH think it's so special? I have no qualms with you moving there, as long as you don't have any ideas of moving into the asteroid system and being mean to me ha

Edit.

Quote

ACTION: Attach this card to a non-home planet you control other than Mecatol Rex. Its resource and influence values are each increased by 1 and it is treated as having all 3 planet traits (Cultural, Hazardous, and Industrial).

It's one of the legendary planets and I do want it, yes. I am happy to leave off entering the asteroid system 'and being mean to you' in exchange for the planet. In the future, I may have to enter the system in order to escape danger (this is hypothetical, I'm not predicting it will happen), but I won't do it in prelude to being aggressive against you - unless obviously you are against me first.

So I'm happy to agree to that and allow you to fly around the empty space hex this round as previously discussed in exchange for Terraform.

It's a legendary planet, it lets you build a free mech each round anywhere you want. It's value is 3 resources, plus a 2 resource mech, plus the CT you'd need to build it, so saying it's worth 8TG a turn isn't unreasonable.In my opinion it's the best new legendary planet by far.

I offered you a reliable trading partner, exchange of sftt and a free use of my agent in return for friendly relations and leaving each other's slices alone. I would rather trade and be a happy neighbor to the furballs, seeing how we'll be sharing so many borders.

Free use means you won't be using it yourself? I'm game for this.This would be the first game I've swapped SftTs early, so why not give it a try.

A free use, so one time. Considering the value of what you can find when exploring, and that even without it my offer is very reasonable, I think it's a good deal.

That sounds more realistic than what I thought you were offering. Still, I will accept, it does seem a good deal.

@Tatts:

Is your posting of a move a sign of deal agreement?

[Tattersail_]

Yes

[D'rek]

Hmm, guess I'll use grey for the mod colour this time around.

Tatts' explo is drawn and added. Notice how some explo cards are an opportunity to do a thing immediately or not, and some of them are a choice, so a lot of the time you'll have to make a 2nd decision on your turn like so.

[D'rek]

Don't forget to put the Hope's End ability card (reference thread -> Misc Other Cards) in your play area, Khell!

Could I just add to the end of my turn that I'm exhausting the card to add another mech to Hope's End?

[Khellendros]

Also, how does the Volatile Fuel Source card work now? The only way to gain the CT now is by removing an infantry?

Yup!

Correct. You either remove the infantry to gain a CT, or you do nothing and receive nothing. Either way the card is then discarded.

So can I wait until I produce the unit which I drew? As I'm not going to exhaust home system to pay for any production.

I had a question regarding my flagships ability, do I need to pay 8 resources for it when I meet the criteria for Deploy?

No. Unless otherwise stated, you must resolve the exploration card's effect immediately. So whether or not you use the effect that Freelancers gives you, it will be discarded immediately.

No. DEPLOY abilities only cost resources/influence/whatever if they specifically say so in the text itself.

Ah, so I have to do this immediately - it's not like an action card to keep?

Edit: In which case I guess I will remove the infantry to gain a CT!

Think of it like an action card you are forced to play immediately after drawing it.

[Khellendros]

I haven't looked thoroughly through the explore card decks to see how impactful they are, but would it be better to pause our turns after exploring to see what comes up and how we want to resolve it before posting the rest of our turn? Or post it all and then possibly revise if it's impacted by the Exploration card?

Most turns aren't going to have anything after the exploration so shouldn't make much difference. Saar has Scavenge, Mech deployment, and potential building with floating factories all after it though, so in your case there may be times where that does indeed make sense to do, I'll leave it to your discretion.

Can't believe you just ceded hope's end to khell tatts!
