    Before you change your mind...

    Research Advanced Robotics and Phase Shield for 9 Science. And may as well flip a colony ship to take that Materials space in 311.

    Edit: And by 311, I of course mean 305.

    As an aside, I just noticed that the first move in this game by Segatai was March 4th. We're almost up to 2 months!

  • Options
    SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    And that 2 months has only increased my impatience with the 2nd printing of this. Research artifact key for 12 science + 2 money-cashing in for 15 science and 5 materials

    It's supposed to get here in early June.

    We should keep playing forum games until then.

    I think I need to learn how to VASSAL.

  • Options
    SeGaTaiSeGaTai Registered User regular
    This seems pretty straight forward to play over vassal, not sure how easy it is to see everyones boards and what not. Would be interested in trying that sometime if others were interested.

    The Vassal mod seems pretty good. There's a menu bar with all the boards at top. The only real issue I see is that you can't lay combat reputation tiles face down, which gives some transparency to something the game devs didn't want to be visible.

    Can't you edit the mod to make that possible?

    Let's do this. Move Dreadnaught and Cruiser from Hex 107 to Hex 001.

    Need to give it "Mask" property, so that only the person who plays it can see it:

    Research Quantum Grid (I count 11 tech remaining for me and the cost as 10 tech, but if I got that wrong, make up the difference in Materials)

    I was wondering when someone was going to buy those.

    With absolutely no thought given to game balance and design, I've arbitrarily decided that Eclipse needs a tech that can destroy planets.

    Hey, I'm just trying to get some reputation before this shindig is over. With only best intentions towards by allies that leaves only one direction and with everyone but me snatching up improved hulls I have to strike while the iron is hot. If it's any comfort I'm expecting it to end horribly.
