What do your services entail again 

Price?

Availability?

Force Strength?

Who are you willing to be paid to attack?

You give us something we want, we put a navy where you want it, unless that's our friends' backyards (currently the Syndicate, the Nordic Space Berserkers and the Tron'di Irregulars.)  However, for the right price we will defend planets from the attacks of our allies.  Unfortunately we are not currently accepting credits, but will take just about anything else, especially in a few turns when our naval orders arrive.

@clontroper5 have you successfully sold the Raider yet?  If not, say the word and I'll buy it for 68 and give GNiPs his creds.

~6 hours from now.

[The Jabbawookie 5,610]

This is for turn 4?

Yes.

[LTD 2,241]

Just under 4 hours until orders are due.

I think I have something from everyone except @clontroper5 and @Lord Preyer who can't be pinged for some reason.

Is it possible for players to transfer credits, ground forces, squadrons, or even ships to other players?

 

On 2/12/2019 at 6:04 PM, GhostofNobodyInParticular said:

Yes. It must be announced in thread though. For ships, both sides must have ships present in the system (the ships to be transferred count for this). We've never transferred GFs before, but presumably they would work the same. 

@LTD OK, so if we're transferring ships, both players must have ships in the same location, correct? Not just the same system? I was confused about this.

Is GNIP's post otherwise correct?

Edited February 21, 2019 by Bertie Wooster

[GhostofNobodyInParticular 2,493]

Location is correct. I used the word system synonymously with it, sorry for the confusion.

[The Jabbawookie 5,610]

@LTD so if three forces converge on a planet, and two have hold fire orders with each other, how is the battle calculated?  Two separate rolls?  One using combined fleet value?

Follow up question: What would happen if eight forces converge on a planet, and four have hold fire orders with each other, and the other four have joined forces likewise?

Yes - same location.

I'm okay with people trading ships - Ground Forces I think are more difficult to trade, to get them in the same location, etc.

I don't know - I'll have to come up with some rules for this in the event it ever happens. The bottom line is - there will be no "Grand Alliances" of ships in the same system. Only one player's ships can occupy a location at the end of the turn. The smaller forces will all retreat, even if no casualties are taken.

 

 

 

There are about 4 hours remaining until orders are due. I am waiting on orders from:

My orders are in. 

[FortyInRed 380]

And just to clarify, this is turn 5, yes?

[LTD 2,241]

Yes, it was. Turn 5 is now complete. 

Turn 6 is live - orders are due in just under 48 hours please.

"I control planets with a combined total credit production greater than the combined production of the next two highest players combined. 3VP. "

Will you let us know if we qualify for this?

[FortyInRed 380]

What is this summer house objective @Matt3412 claimed?

[Bertie Wooster 1,857]

 

Turn Four Public Objective:

I have spent 10 credits and IC on a summer house on my Capital planet. 1VP. (GNIP)

By the way @LTD , I claimed the summer house VP in turn 5. So did Biggs.

Does that mean it can only be claimed in turn 4, or can it be claimed after?

It can be claimed any turn after it's posted

[Bertie Wooster 1,857]

@FortyInRed Here are all of the public objectives so far. Although they are revealed one turn at a time, you can claim one of them in any turn, if you qualify.

However, keep the timing in mind. Turn one objective requires you to do two tricky things in the same turn.

The Turn One Public Objective is: 

I have conquered two planets belonging to other players this turn. 1VP.

Turn Two Public Objective:

I have completely destroyed an enemy fleet. 1VP. (idjmv)

Turn Three Public Objective:

I control 5 planets outside my Home System. 1VP.

Turn Four Public Objective:

I have spent 10 credits and IC on a summer house on my Capital planet. 1VP. (GNIP, Matt3412, Bertie Wooster, BiggsIRL)

Turn Five Public Objective:

I have controlled Ava T’Farq the entire turn. 1VP.

Turn Six Public Objective:

I control planets with a combined total credit production greater than the combined production of the next two highest players combined. 3VP.

@LTD's comment about me firing on @BiggsIRL now makes a lot more sense, thanks!
