No bid here. OK. I’ll put things in train. ---

Do we want to just do random like last time for this round until you hear back from the potential third party? I’ll be honest, I don’t think I mind the current way (“knowing” who’s turn is next doesn’t seem to make a big difference to my strategies at this point). ---

Everyone should check resources… If I’m not mistaken, I should only have 4 Production, 3 Research, and 1 Culture. (remember, I made a research node last turn) ---

Fixed that. Yes, _please_ always check! I asked Whistle\_Pig to send the full list of cards to whoever got the lowest card - so they can say “next player is 4” or whatever, though they don’t know which card is which player. ---

@Marx asked for a die roll: Cool, so I have the lowest card and get to go first. Let’s do this. **Build Phase** - 2 Production for a Production Node on Argolis - 3 Production for 3 Ships at Cardassia - 1 Science on “Labour Camps” **Command Phase** - Command 1: Ship at Capella enters Warp - Command 2: Ship at Cardassia enters Warp - Command 3: Ship at Cardassia Exits Warp, exploring towards the Southwest – Warp Length: `d3+1: 4` ---

@RogerBW asked for a die roll: > [@system](#): > > 1 Science on “Labour Camps” There’s a joke to be made there, but it’s in bad taste even for me. C3 exit system is Rura Penthe (H5 PP-2); ship is lost on a 5-6. `d6: 5` ---

@RogerBW asked for a die roll: Hang on, there’s an unexploded exploration card at Rura Penthe first. Dangerous Flora: REMAINS IN PLAY: Building a Colony on this System costs an additional 2 Research tokens. (I’ve put two Research sideways on the system as a reminder.) East from Capella: Vlugta Asteroid Field (H6 PPPP-3) Ship is lost on a 6: `d6: 2` ---

@RogerBW asked for a die roll: You didn’t immediately reveal the Rura Penthe exploration card because the ship was destroyed by the system-disc hazard. Vlugta exploration card: Arkonian Destroyer (H5): Level 5 Hazard. Roll to hit with all your Ships. If you score at least 1 hit and at least 1 of your Ships survives, take 2 Production. Ship lost on a 5+: `d6: 2` Ship hits on a 5+: `d6: 6` ---

So you get the 2 Production. As first player you end up as play-order card handler - please say what the next card number is, and that player can then take their turn. ---

Spend one culture to colonise Bajor. Build a production node. Build a research node. Upgrade shields for 6 research. Build one ship at Andor. ---

Command phase. Ship at Andor enters warp / exits warp to discover a new system due south. ---

@RogerBW asked for a die roll: Apologies for delay - I was stuck on my phone for most of yesterday evening. Warp lane length `d3+1: 3` New system: > Subspace Anomaly (H4 Phenomenon-5) > When Ships in this System enter Warp, roll the Space Lane die > and place that many Warp Tokens next to the Ships.
