No bid from the Romulans. @MIGHTYSploosh to bid (available bids are 3 or more, or pass).
I shall pass
@Delwayne That just leaves you!
Delwayne emailed me earlier to say “3 production if MIGHTYSploosh passes”. Card selection in progress.
I’m betting that @Delwayne is planning on doing exactly what I was going to do….
Cards done! Round 4 begins.
Card #1, @Delwayne to play.
Vulcans:
8p, 1c, 3r
Create 6 ships on Vulcan (-6p)
Add research token to project (-1r)
Create research node on Deneb (-2r/1p)
Free action: Fleet 2 will encounter Phenom. Add research token to project
Command 1&2: Fleet 3 moves on impulse into the new system. We will see if we like the discovered exploration card (if there is one).
Er… I think you had 8P before you bid 3P for turn order.
Oops. Forgot about that. Yes. Readjust, we only building 3 ships.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
C0 Science Halitra braves hazard without using a Command (thereby giving up its rerolls). Ships lost on 5+: pool 4d6: 2× 3, 4, 6
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
One ship lost. Research goes to Communication Network, completing it.
Exploration:
System: Goralis (H5 PRR-5)
Ships lost on 5+: pool 4d6: 2× 1, 2× 3
No ships lost.
Exploration: Organian Intervention (System may only be Colonised by Ascendancy 3+ civilisations.)
Because this is the Observation Halitra, @Delwayne you may if you wish discard that Exploration card and draw another.
I did not realize I give up my rerolls to do explore the phenom. I thought it was automatic. I don’t have the cards in front of me. Can I fix that and use the command as normal?
Also for the other place we will keep the exploration card, confirming I can colonize it when I’m at ascendency 3, and even though it will cost me one ascendency to do it.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
OK, I’ll take that as Command #3 to Brave the Eagle Nebula hazard, and that ship gets a reroll. Really lost on a 5+: d6: 4
.
Then command #4 sends a ship out from Vulcan on impulse: d3+1: 2
Last command, impulse to explore it.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
System: Tau Cygna V (H6 PPC-4)
Hazard check: ship lost on a 6 d6: 3
Exploration: Warp-Capable: Level Two
Next to play is card 3: Ferengi (@RossM).
