Star Trek Ascendancy game 3

Dang!

I will end my turn there.

With 5 commands remaining? Well, OK…

Card 7: Klingon (@Marx)







Build Phase

  • Colonize Prexnax (1C, 1 Ship)
  • Build Production Node on Prexnax (2P)
  • Build Research Node on Prexnax (1P, 2R)
  • 1 Research on “Militarized Industry”
  • 6 Ships in orbit of Kronos, formed into fleet “2A Battle Group” (capable of rerolling 1s during Space Battles).
  • 2 Ships in orbit of Terra Nova.

Final Resources: 0P, 0R, 1C

Command Phase

  • Command 1/6: Ship at Terra Nova enters Warp
  • Command 2/6: Ship at Terra Nova exits Warp, exploring “South” (Towards Federation)

Yes. My Apologies. I clearly lost track.

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Space lane: d3+1: 3
System: Yuri (RC-2)
Exploration: Ferengi Arms Dealer (D2. You may use Production rather than Research to upgrade Weapons. If you hold this during the Build Phase, pass it to PTYL in Maintenance.)

Diplomacy check passed on a 2: d6: 1

On a TWO!?

grinds teeth in Klingon

Fine! Fine. It’s fine.

  • Command 3/6: Ship at Kronos leaves fleet (making the fleet 5 ships) and Enters Warp
  • Command 4/6: Ship at Kronos at Warp gains 1 Warp Token
  • Command 5/6: Ship at Kronos travels → Hypuria → East (towards Romulan Space, but not connecting).

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Space lane: d3+1: 2
System: Delta IV (RRO-3)
Exploration: Borg World 0 (place a Borg Spire here.)

Whoa there. I thought there were no Borg ships in the first 30 discs? I wouldn’t have been so careless with my exploration if I thought there was a chance of a Borg encounter so soon…!

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
No Borg systems, but a Borg World. But that’s fair, I’ll redraw until the system discs have got down to that level:

Exploration: Rigelians (D4 for Trade Agreement 1 Production or Research)

d6+1: 2 to exceed 4

See, I don’t mind failing a 4+. That makes a certain amount of sense. Failing a 2+ is just insulting.

Okay. Last command…

  • Command 6/6: Ship at Terra Nova enters Warp.

Done! Thanks for the do-over… not that the Borg won’t eventually be discovered first by a Klingon and result in me being totally wiped out, but I’d like at least a few more turns before that happens. Give them at least a little bit of a fight before my doom.

Card 8: Borg (NPC)
Card 9: Vulcan (@Delwayne)

I have some conditional orders but I’ll leave a short break before implementing them.







I feel the pain of that two!

Are the Klingons open to making contact between Pallas 14 and Yuri or would they prefer a conscious (I guess not uncoupling, but) Distinction there?

As long as you aren’t going to arbitrarily attack me without warning, Yuri - Pallas 14 sounds fine!

And if it happens by you first, I’m still holding my 3 Production trade deal for you. Thanks!

We Come in Peace (and I’m quite happy to reinstate my 3 production trade deal)

Vulcans:
6p, 2r, 5c
Ascend (-5c)
Build 4 ships into Fleet#3 Observation Halitra (-3p)
Colonize Deneb (-1a)
Build a research Node on Deneb (-2r/-1p)
Command 1&2: Ship at Deneb will go in and out of warp, connecting Argo and exiting one sector before Romulus to conduct trade.

Would Romulans have an interest in their 3P trade agreement for my 1C TA? Since your 2P is being used, at a later time we can switch for the 2P. Also, when my Ambassador gets to Romulus, perhaps he can help with a command or two.

Command 3&4: Ship at Vulcan will join Fleet#2 as it goes into and out of warp into Eagle Nebula.
If successful, add research to project.
Command 5: Fleet 3 will move on impulse 8oc.
