Ok, so NASA:
- Moves rocket back to factory.
- Does income op for net 1WT.
- pays 1WT to do a research op.
NASA bids 0
ESA can’t bid
UN 10 WT
PRC 7WT
NASA 6WT
I still have another op left after this, so resolution tomorrow.
PRC bids 2.
NASA matches 2
I’m not going to let you have an easy future (for you, everybody else can’t use it)
I really just want the radiator, which is worth 8 WT to me. It would be pretty hard for me to produce and use that thruster.
Except you don’t have 8WT
Lol. True. I mean it’s worth 8 WT if I sell it. Plus a couple of turns shipping it around, so I have to decide how much those turns are worth. I think I’m not going to spend more than 2 WT right now though. So I’ll pass.
UN passes
So I get the GW Thruster and ET produce it paying 1WT for my last action. I get the Space Tourism income.
Over to @Grunden
UN starts a research auction for the Kuck Mosquito robonaut:
ESA: 3WT (Can’t bid)
PRC: 7WT
NASA: 4WT
UN: 10WT
I’ll bid 0
NASA bids 2
Prc passes
I’ll match 2
NASA passes
Ok, finishing up auction, then off to Dione (waving to ESA’s rocket as we pass them at the pivot into Saturn system)
Prospecting for auto success for a net 0WT with taxes.
Event: Solar Flare strength 3, doesn’t seem to hurt anyone due to heliocentric zone adjustment.
Back to @JoshL, hope this moon isn’t the one you were heading to. :P
Nope, I can’t land there, too big.
Instead I land on Polydeuces, just next door. But instead of doing anything there I free market a generator and a robonaut (I seem to have enough of them!), so I can be back in condition to bid for stuff, with 8WT! Watch out!
@Matt_W up.
Guys, I just realized I should have gotten a radiator with that GW thruster. @Matt_W, can you fix that?
Done.
And for my turn:
- reconfigured my rocket so that it just has crew and industrialization eqipment on it. Moved everything else to the Bernal
- paid colonist to refuel the rocket with water
- flew down to Io’s S site using crew thruster with afterburn. paid finao
- industrialized and colonized the site.
- updated VP track (S factories are already worth the minimum.)
Ok, so complex turn:
- I create an outpost colocated with my bernal. this gets the bernal to 23 dry mass
- pay 1WT to isotope refuel my GW thruster
- afterburn with it and safely move the bernal to orbit europa
- rocket move to newly created outpost, dropping the crew in the bernal
- consolidate rocket and outpost
- since crew is in bernal and bernal is a lab, I get the search for life and the subsurface glory cards
- I pay 1WT so my colonists can promote another colonist. My crew does the other promotion
- Finally I free market my obsolote robonaut for net 9WT
- and I get Space Tourism income
So some notes, thanks to my newly promoted colonists:
- I get 1WT each time other players pay FINAO
- Robonauts and rtobots of other players can’t perform ops without a human present
- No player can ET produce robots or promote colonists
Over to @Grunden
Little less complex than that:
- Industrializing Dione with colonist for net 0WT
- ET producing refinery at Dione
- Collapsing rocket into Outpost #1
- New rocket formed with Crew only at Bernal
- Rocket coasts to LEO and decomissions crew, gaining the Search for CUDOS glory
- Updated VP track
Sunspot disk advances, back to the BLUE ZONE
