Sorry all! Oh boy, stupidly exhausting couple of weeks travelling for work. I’ve only posted 5 times on QT3 since the 25th - I think that is the least I have been around since I stopped lurking! On the positive side I just went through some of the best (and most exhausting and stressful) sales training I have ever sat through. But no more travel for a while so no more delays!
[B]PRC crew industrialises unitas, decommissioning robonaut, refinery, generator and reactor to hand. UN gets paid 1 WT.
RRMU pays 1 WT to ET prod zpinch microfission generator back into rocket stack at unitas.[/B]
Over to Shimizu.

Crew performs research op on Fluidized-Bed refinery. It comes with a Cascade Photovoltaic generator.
NASA and ESA are elligible to bid.
Shimizu bids 0
Nikolaj
1643
Oh, and the next refinery is the CVD Molding.

Shimizu wins auction for 2 WTs. Pantrophists pay 1 WT to sell the refinery for 4 WTs. Convicts pay 1 WT to ET produce the freighter at Bernal. The freighter then moves 1 burn and 1 pivot.
Over to ESA!

Wait, I forgot to shuffle the generator deck. Could you do that, Josh?
JoshL
1650
Will do. I’ll do my turn late tonight – it’s game night! (But I won’t be playing High Frontier, sadly).
Nikolaj
1651
Awesome! What are you going to play? Hopefully you can get HF to the table when the new edition arrives.
JoshL
1652
Dunno, maybe Fief. Unfortunately most of my friends won’t play HF. I do have a small cadre of players, but colonization generally takes too long to play on a weeknight.

ESA prospects Enceladus, rolling…

Success, yay! Event was Extropy. UN up for year 42.

Turn 42 - The turn of life, the universe, and everything
Note: I’d feel bad about talking Sharaleo into loaning me Luna for this purpose, so I’ll spend an op instead:
UN Crew seizes Luna ‘S’ factory via special Moon Treaty Op
Babbage Halbonauts perform Epic Hazard Op for 1 WT to attempt to create Beehive Ark future from the promoted freighter card
Since I hold Luna (temporarily), I now have factories on 4 different spectral types. This is sufficient for my op to only fail on a ‘1’.
And the roll is: 5!. The first future star is claimed.
Freighter attempts factory liftoff… FAILED! dies in a fire
1 WT Robot income
Lunar ‘S’ factory is returned to PRC control
VP adjusted, NASA you’re up.
[B]NASA free markets generator for 4WT and performs 2 income ops for new 2WT.
The rocket thrusts away, leaving Sol (and hopefully UN bureucracy) far behind…[/B]
PRC up…

The tendrils of our paperwork reach all the way to Sedna.
THEN WE SHALL GO TO THE STARS!

You’ve got the thrusters for it!
