Okay, last command: start 2 random Technologies (both start with 1 Research on them).

Thanks! Sorry for the delay… silly sleeping gets in the way of so much… :slight_smile:

I will bid 3 Production
(Edit: Changed to 3, but Roger hasn’t gone yet so I hope that’s okay!)

262

Yeah, that’s fine. I’ll take 0.

  1. Romulans
  2. Federation
  3. Klingons

(I have an adventure to write for tomorrow, so I may respond slowly. Especially as it’s just turned into a simultaneous software development project.)

@Marx asked for a die roll:
@RossM I assume you’re okay with going 2nd? You do have the option to go 3rd if you prefer!

With that out of the way, I will definitely take 1st turn and get this ball rolling:

Build Phase

  • 2 Production to build a new Production Node on Tau Cygna V.
  • 6 Research to Improve Shields to Strength 1
  • 4 Production to build 4 Ships at Romulus and Form “Fleet 1A: Science Fleet”
  • 1 Production to build 1 Ship at Romulus and add it to the “Fleet 3A: Mining Fleet”
  • Last 4 Production to build 4 Ships at Hupyria. I am out of Starbases to form more fleets, tragically…

Command

  • Command 1: Research Fleet enters Warp at Romulus
  • Command 2: Research Fleet exits Warp at Murasaki 312 (top left corner)
    – Only 1 Ship needs to roll to Brave the Hazard. The research will go on “Cloaked Orbital Mines”. Hazard at 5, Shields at 1, ship blows up on a 6… d6: 1
264

(Happy to go second!)

@Marx asked for a die roll:
Woot.

  • Command 3: Mining Fleet enters Warp.
  • Command 4: Mining Fleet exits in Murasaki 312
    – Ships asplode on 6s: 4d6: 3 + 1 + 1 + 4 = 9
266

Loverly. Everything is coming up Milromulan.

  • Command 5: Mining Fleet does Mining (gain 2 Production)
  • Command 6: Ship in the Mutara Nebula enters Warp.
  • Command 7: Ship in the Mutara Nebula travels to Pulsar and then explores (“back” away from Ardana if it fits, if not towards Ardana).
