FFS! Poly is being... nasty tonight.

[Ljube]

I still don't fully comprehend Jamski.

In fact you did nothing to clarify my dilemmas, you just repeated what you posted before.

Let me ask you again. Duke gets his dreadnaught and doc gets his spy or whatever and his base working, but what with the fight? Did it occur or not? And the losses?

Thanks!

[DrSpike]

Hehe I made no mistake so I don't think I should be punished at all. I should get my dead dreadnought (that I legally built!) back, as well as my damaged base repaired. I also confess I don't understand the action orders stuff, or indeed how much spies cost or I might have built one last round!

[Ljube]

Spies cost zero. As does the shield generator.

Yes, the rules are rather complex and still not defined sufficiently.

[DrSpike]

Why are these things free?

[Jamski]

Aaagh.

Ok, ok... you'll never stop complaining otherwise... *hits rewind* the fight is cancelled. Doc gets his Dread back, Duke gets his Frigates back, the base is undamaged etc etc.
Duke keeps his Dread, only a small mistake *shrugs* but Doc missed out on the chance to make shields/spies/etc in round 1.

GM's FINAL WORD ON THE SUBJECT. If you don't like it - tough.

Doc, its just like Nuclear War, but with a building phase first. After you're done building you send an order. Train spy, raise shields, build shield generator or attack someone.

The updated table, with the fight rewound. That means Doc and Duke have the ships back they both lost.

I like reading about all the battles, so at least post what ships were used in combat.

And ludd.


I sent mine an hour ago.

[Skanky Burns]

Spies seem rather lame though. All they stop is an attack order or building spies/generators. Now if they stopped new shipping being created...

[Jamski]

Spies ARE rather lame. Unless they stop someone attacking YOU. If they could stop ship construction they would be über.

Can you resend please Ludd. 'Poly is being odd.

-Jam

[:) Smiley]

If spies stop people from attack you, they are essentially shields, but not as good.

How about having spies reveal the composition of an enemy fleet? Or, make them a BP-buildable unit.

[Jamski]

Well... let's leave the discussion on spies untill the 5th round "Council"

-Jam

[Skanky Burns]

They stop someone attacking someone else. The chance that someone attacks you on the turn you send a spy to them is minimal. The chance that that person is the only one attacking you that turn has an even lower chance.

Can I convert my spy into a shield generator?
