Card 5: Ferengi (@Canadian_Errant)
Here comes level one ascendancy for the ferengi.

The noble Federation viewing all other civilizations as barbaric will surely abhor an inferior culture ascending to their level…
Of all the races I’ve played I like the ferengi the best!
Really flavourful.

This Ascendancy is overrated. If drinking your favourite Romulan ale from a cup made from the pelvis of your enemies is ‘uncivilised’, then perhaps we don’t wish to be civilised.

(I’ve heard of a hip flask, but making a drinking vessel from one sounds tricky.)

I’m a traditionalist. Also a skull-mug needs less sealing.

Typically lazy human response. Only when one has supped from the crotch of one’s foe can they said to be truly without fear.

I’m at work (on the boat) so I don’t have my laptop or reference books available, so bear with me please if I get the order wrong,
But Am I allowed to ascendancy first? Because if so, that, using 10 production in place of 2 culture.
Put one research towards the ongoing research.
Build 7 (I believe that’s my remaining production) ships in Ferenginar and put them into a franchise fleet.
Commands:
Add one warp token to each ship currently at warp (1&2)
They’ll drop out of warp at Coridan III and Dopteria respectively (3&4)
5: send the franchise fleet to warp
6 : add a warp token to the fleet

You can ascend if you buy culture with production in the Build phase… but you currently only have 5 commands
I can’t Get Ascension then Build Starbase Then used the added command? (last two games, didn’t really use ascension/starbases, so out of practice)
Ah: I see the error- I meant to build a starbase at Ferenginar during the build phase. I had some indecisiveness about where to put it so I forgot to include it in my list apparently. But if it’s not too late, I’d like to do that.
starbases are commissioned in the command phase (at the cost of 1 command), and the new command comes exhausted
In that case, I will substitute building the Starbase for sending the Franchise fleet to warp.

OK, I think that comes out as:
Build:
- Spend 3C + 10P on Ascendancy 1
- 1 Research into current project
- Use all remaining P on ships at Ferenginar, and commission Franchise Establishment Flotilla #3.
Command:
- add warp token to a ship
- dewarp it at Coridan III
- add warp token to a ship
- dewarp it at Dopteria
- Commission a starbase [assuming at Ferenginar].

Okay. Build phase: use militarised industry to build ships at Rigel, Kronos and Sigma Draconis
Build a research node at Rigel (2R, 1 P).
Colonise the Vlugta asteroid field (1 ship, 1 culture)
Build 2 production nodes at Vlugta (4P).
Command phase:
C1 - poke the neubula, onto current research if successful
C2, C3 - ship from Kronos heads into the Pulsar on the off-chance we get a research out of it (again, onto current research if successful)
C4, C5 - ship from Kronos warps to Rigel
Klingons out.
@RogerBW asked for a die roll:
Ship at Paulson Nebula is lost on 6+: d6: 6
Ship at Pulsar is lost on 4+: d6: 5
