No worries (I spent a lot of my first turn intending to commission a starbase before finding that rule). ---

We rarely use Vulcans unless there are 5+ players. I’m just wondering if it is a fair playing setting when used with Humble Beginnings? Guess we shall see. Wondering how early did Vulcans come to be known within the ST galaxy? To not even be able to reach Ascendency one till perhaps 5+ turns might still be an advantage for the Vulcan player? (just a realization I’m experiencing). ---

Okay, after all that delay, I think I am going to have a _shockingly_ short turn. **Build Phase** - 1 Research on “Labour Camps” - 1 Culture and the Ship in orbit of Goralis to build a Colony there. **Command Phase** - Pass And I’m done! (I have to have ships in orbit of my colonies to produce resources, so I can’t risk them, and I need that Production to build a new Production node… so can’t build a new ship… so a _very_ short turn indeed). ---

Romulans will colonize and then build a research node. Then, we will go in and out of warp from homeworld. Slide that one sitting at 10 o’clock, to be moved to the far lower right. We will make the new space lane and system at 10olock. ---

1 Research to your pool. 3 Commands remain. (About to go away for the weekend, and I’ll be on hotel wifi and at a game convention, so updates will be rare if they happen at all.) ---

1. we will do a focused research to obtain Advanced Cloaking Device project. 2. Ship at Murasaki will slide system and move at impulse one to connect to Paulson Nebula (which was on the far lower right side) 3. ship at Paulson Nebula will attempt to get the research token. (if successful, put on project) end turn. ---

Actually, space lane length matters, so we will not connect automatically. We will see what the length is first … [Previous page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/star-trek-ascendancy-game-2/3221.md?page=4) [Next page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/star-trek-ascendancy-game-2/3221.md?page=6)
