Build one Clown Pleco at LP73158

What building? You can have 20 points worth of starships right away at the beginning of turn 1. NO construction needed. Construction of starships or stations only starts in turn 2. Which has even begun, in the first place. And I've just realised that you've got 4 more points to spend too, since you've got 3 battleships and 4 frigates on hand only. That's 4 x 3 + 4 = 16. Not counting your small space station (which is free, of course). Better go fix up your war effort.

Sorry about that, my planet is supposed to be called Angelus. EDIT: Yah, changing the image was too much for my meager skills with irfanview combined with my laziness. Anyway, the nation is called the Aziraphalie, I'll fix that right away.

You should be filling in the name of your nation, not your home planet's name.

Go log into the Galactic Conquest Profile account and edit the thing. Before the mods start coming after us.

Ok, I've sent the mods my combat orders. We're almost done, we just need:

Mjolnir, we need your empire name and the ships in Caprica (there should be 10 pts worth there).

Shadow Hydra, were those supposed to be Destroyers (2 pts), in which case you actually control that system now, or are they actually Frigates (1 pt), in which case you have 4 more points to spend?

Also, just to check, you can build a station in any system that you have anything in. Having a Destroyer, a Small Station, or larger in a system lets you control it. If they are destroyed/scrapped, or the ship leaves, you lose control ( Big headache to manage, otherwise). Is this all correct?

Correct. But you get the 20 points for the system as long as you have a single ship of any size in it or has a greater power fleet in-system. (Having a station in system means you automatically have a greater powered fleet in system.0

Wait. So anything but a defense platform controls a system? That's a massive change to the rules, and I think it works better the way it is (although my empire would triple if we used this method

). And if two opposing fleets are in an unclaimed system, shouldn't they have to agree to let one of them have it (or split it), or destroy the other fleet to get it, not just get it by numerical superiority?

Have you done the fight yet? It shouldn't take long...

You can control it for one turn with anything, but you have to imediatly build a small station. And if there two opposing fleets, they have to reach an agreement its up to them if they share, fight, or retreat.

And on the battle, I already said Luyten got creamed. 32 on 1. Never stood a chance.

Well, I liked it the way it was... Is everyone ok with the new way? If so, time to change the map and tables again *sigh*

Myyyy bad every one. Turok has consumed my life for two past few days. The Intari Frigates are actually destroyers, despite their namesake, so I'm done with my points. 4x3+4x2=20

I vote againts, when fighters are able to control systems expansion gets way to fast
