Heh, I hadn’t even noticed that the card was different. It’s going to be nice giving the 3rd edition a go. Hopefully it’ll be much smoother.

Shimizu wins auction for 4 WTs. Freighter picks up Survivalists and moves towards Ceres.
I forgot to shuffle the radiator and reactor decks, so I’ve made a third set of files where that’s done. New top cards are X-Ray Hard Di-Electric Mirror and Project Orion.
Over to ESA!

I’m about to walk out the door to work, so if UN wants to do my turn, that’d be fine. I’m just getting another WT for my rocket (I should have 3 tanks), and advancing the sunspot (there’s no event this turn).

Ok, I’ll submit it for you.

Turn 47
ESA turn posted as above.
UN Crew free markets Magnetic Nozzle to bernal for 8WT
Frankenstein Navigators ISRU refuel rocket 3 tanks worth for 1WT
Babbage Halbonauts pay 2WT to ET produce freighter (note that freighter promotions are permanent per the rules)
Rocket moves to Oberon and picks up the Halbonauts
1 WT robot income
Over to NASA
Nevermind, turn stands, I didn’t realize you don’t have to pay for certain crash hazzards…
OK:
[B][B][B]NASA moves rocket to Quaro paying FINAO
Scientists prospect and rocket drops factory, UN payed his 1WT.
Crew performs Activism. It’s election time!.[/B][/B][/B]
Everybody, please PM me your election bids.

That’s exactly why I “settled” where I did.
Ok
[B]Nobody bids anything, UN wins by default.
NASA performs research op on Kuck Mosquito. Comes with Orion drive.
Revealed robonaut is free electron laser.[/B]
Shimizu elligible
NASA bids 0
NASA wins auction for 3WT
Over to PRC

RRMU pays 1 WT to perform boost op on ISRU stabiliser for 4 WT (inc 1 WT to UN for cycler).
Rocket returns to ersatz. 3 burns, 2 steps of fuel.

Freighter moves to Bernal and drops off Survivalists. Rocket takes off to Bernal. Survivalists ET produce robonaut at Bernal for 1 WT. Pantrophists and Crew sell Photon Tether Rectenna and Ti/K Heat Pipe for a total of 7 WTs.
ESA is up!

ESA takes income. Rocket (consisting of just a GW thruster, radiator, and crew) takes off from Enceladus and leaves the Saturn system.
Rolling for event…

Turn 48
UN Crew promotes Squid Turing and loads into freighter
Freighter factory lands… and… again… explodes into fiery chunks (taking the colonist with it).
Rocket takes off and moves clockwise around to the small moons: Frankenstein Navigators raygun prospect (1WT): Juliet, Belinda succeed. Portia Busted. 2WT gained.
Babbage Halbonauts pay 2WT to rebuild Squid Turing
Robot income. Total turn net income is no change
That’s what I get for trying to save a turn by not using my rocket.
Oh, wow, that was harsh man…
