Star Trek Ascendancy game 3

Just as a reminder @RogerBW for when you do end of round stuff: both the trade agreements the Romulans hold are currently exhausted.

Edit: also, I think I might have 4 culture rather than 3? It looks like I should have gained one when I discovered Trill (a.k.a. fake Deneb V).

You do have to Brave the Hazard I’m afraid. (But you could save a command by starting with your ship already in warp at Terra Nova.)

By inspection I think a 2 or 3 is doable but a 4 is not. Let’s see.

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Space Lane d3+1: 3

@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
It’s a bit marginal but given the situation I’m going with it.

Heroic exploration ship destroyed on 4+: d6: 1

Of the three ships you built at Kronos you’ve now issued four orders:

  • explore black hole
  • connect to temporal anomaly
  • join fleet
  • enter warp individually

so for the moment I’m ignoring the last of those. However, you can do this if you explore the Black Hole with the ship already in warp at Terra Nova:

  • C1 that ship explores Black Hole
  • C2-3-4 new ship #1 at Kronos connects to TA
  • C5 new ship #2 at Kronos enters Warp
  • (not C) new ship #3 at Kronos joins Fleet

and one Command remains. Let me know.

Bah. Math is hard.

Let’s do that, and put the last ship at Terra Nova at Warp for Command 6.

Thanks! Good catch, sorry I missed it!

The Klingon Empire passes.

Just a reminder that I have Trade Agreements for the Federation and Romulan Star Empire, if they so desire them.

You have a 2p. Both Federation and Romulan have a 1p.
However, none of them are adjacent to you at the moment.

I am aware. I was just informing them that they are still available to for trade if/when they so desire, now that contact is at least theoretically possible.

I still have your 3P trade deal, I believe. When we make contact, you can whatever trade deal I have left.
