UN turn:
Rocket afterburns and heads all the way to Saturn aerostat, rolling the dice on landing and surviving.
Prospects, auto success due to refinery making all aerostat locations 2 hydrationn net 0WT with taxes
Crew site refuels 2WT of S isotope fuel
Dropping off mobile factory industrializing the site
No event this turn. Back to @JoshL

I’ll do things in a different order. Boosting a generator to my Bernal. Taxes to NASA.

That’s a very pretty route:)
PRC:
Moved freighter toward the Haumea family
Crew boosted my crew to my rocket
Afterburned and flew rocket back to my Bernal
Paid colonist to ET produce my refinery
Recouped colonist pay with venture income
@Juan_Raigada
this is a very silly turn, but there’s a good chance both fture stars will be taken in 2-3 turns, so I want to maximize cubes in orbit.
NASA does ana uction for the C freighter
ESA 6WT
PRC 9 WT
NASA 20WT
UN can’t bid
NASA bids 2 to speed things up.

UN:
Rocket afterburns, and spirals around Saturn (passing storm hazard roll) and back again for oberth. Ring hazards are ignored due to colonist power. Now I’ve got a big rocket headed for Uranus (shut up Beavis!).
Colonists boost 4WT worth of reactor, crew, and radiator to Bernal paying NASA 1WT.
Crew free markets extra reactor for 3WT
Event: Glitch! No effect (I think NASA’s rocket colocated with a Space Colony counts as a human).
On to @JoshL and the final stretch!

Promote Bernal and move it a bit.

Also I don’t think NASA paid me for his industrialization. That 1WT is important
You are right, I didn’t. Will give it to you come my turn.

I’ll give it to you. And don’t worry. You’re gonna be flush.

Paid UN for NASA’s industrialization:
PRC:
Flew freighter to orbit near the Haumea group
Successfully prospected all 5 sites there (5 more income to UN)
Paid colonist to industrialize a mobile factory at my Bernal (1 more income to UN)
Flew the mobile factory out toward the Haumea group
@Juan_Raigada
Sadly I’m one turn short of being able to get a second future (@Matt_W will get it just before my turn), so I play conservatively.
refuel rocket
move to bernal
pay 1Wt to ET produce refinery
income and free market for net 3WT
1WT for space tourism
Over to @Grunden

Yeah, I was worried about that. That’s why I did mobile factory shenanigans to gain a turn.
It’s been an interesting game without an operational GW thruster.

Well having to whole Jupiter system + related glories has kind of obviated your need for it.

I suspect you’re not paying attention to where my factory is going… :)
We’ll see!
I didn’t mean you’ll get it this turn, but that you’ll get it just before I could have gone for it.
It’s a moot point now. I’m just going to maximize VPs.

UN:
Rocket afterburns, lands on Uranus aerostat
Prospect for net 0WT
Industrializing, claiming the second future star from TW thruster for TNO factory + aerostat factories on Saturn and Uranus.
Colonists set up a space colony in the clouds of Uranus
Bernal fuels with 8WT and movies to Hygiea via usual Jupiter slingshot
Crew debarks and forms another space colony on Hygiea
Think that’s all I can do for this turn. And yeah, Matt’s cube looks out of place for getting to a sunlens next turn, maybe I’m missing something.
