I’ll pass on the trade and use a tactic token to build a carrier and 2 infantry on my home world.

Don’t forget, you have Sarween Tools. Thus your cost was reduced by 1. So you could build either more infantry or fighters… or…

More infantry please.
Has anyone had the opportunity to play an 8 player game of this? It was quite the experience. Yes, it took almost 9hrs.

I will activate my home system, then exhaust Creuss to build a carrier and a pair of infantry.
I’ve played 8 player games of TI3, but never TI4 (I own, but have not opened, Prophecy of Kings, so previously it was impossible). Those were full day affairs (10am start building the galaxy, picking races, setting everything up, break for lunch, play until dinner, break for dinner, finish up the game after dinner, clean up around midnight).
We managed to get our 6 player games of TI4 down to about 4-5 hours (I’ve played a few after a long day of work in the BeforeTimes). I don’t know if I’ll ever play an 8 player game of TI4, though… the idea of being in close quarters with 7 other people for a full day makes my stomach do uncomfortable things these days.

After @Captbnut
then it will be @COMaestro @MIGHTYSploosh @Marx @GeeBizzle
if you already know what you plan to do, you can always send my your actions and I can post as needed to let the game continue. Also, if you already know what secondary actions you plan to do, send me that info as well. We only have the following strategic cards still yet to play: Politics, Warfare, & Tech.
Interesting that this is the first time (in a game I’ve played) that no one chose the Construction Card in the first round. Thus all players are forced to conduct productions on their home planets (for this round) rather than a new location.
I have no idea what I’m doing so cannot claim any great master plan.

Everyone is doing okay…
I’m going to use my agent to untap Everra
At the risk of sounding silly: the Titans lacking a carrier means that I can’t spread as quickly or as aggressively as other races (no fighter support, for one things, and no ability to transport multiple troops rapidly). Not a complaint, I think the Titan Cruisers are amazing (and are going to get much better!), but it means that “standard” tactics won’t apply as well.
Plus Construction is usually useful for getting PDS and factories… and I don’t need them to make PDS. Heck, if anything, I have to be very careful not to put out all my PDS too quickly, a problem I don’t think I’ve ever encountered before!
Anyway, Delwayne has my next two moves already in case I’m not online when they happen. The slow peaceful spread through the galaxy is continuing more-or-less how I expected, though.

It’s time to use the Politics strategy card.
I will pass on the Secondary of Politics, thank you.
Politics card is being played. Everyone will declare if they are going to spend a strategy token to gain 2 action cards.
in the mean time, @MIGHTYSploosh is next.
Oh, and I think I will make an excellent Speaker for the next round.
