RE: Questions & Answers (TAKAMO) - Nazareth - 05-27-2014
Seems like it wouldn't matter when you build as long as you build after you retool. Raise TEC action 5, retool immediately after and anything you build after that is the new TEC, right? It all is sequential I thought. If not, then I see the logic in it.
RE: Questions & Answers (TAKAMO) - Nicademus - 05-27-2014
Even if you raise tec action 50 and retool action 1 next turn or after as long as you don't build between them it seems ok to me otherwise it makes no sense to not retool right after a tec raise...IMHO

I had posted this, previously, in another thread here on this forum, but I didn't see a response. So, I will post it in this thread:
The rules state: This orders a fleet with a Production Center Ship to move and land on a terraformed planet and convert to a Production
Center. You may then build additional PCs.
Is there more information available for Production Center Ships? Doing an electronic search of the rulebook leaves me in the dark.

Just trying to figure out what to actually do. I'm no closer than when I played the first turn.
Basically, I am a Cybernetic that pretty much just sits where I started, building nothing and not growing. So, I have started blowing up my own planets, to avert boredom.
RE: Questions & Answers (TAKAMO) - GrimFinger - 05-30-2014
What turn do I put in for my turn orders, this turn? Am I on turn 9? Turn 11? Anyone have any idea?

Oh, I fully agree - There's lots of things that I, as a Cybernetic, should be doing. But, since I don't know how to do them, they don't get done.
I think that I am just going to take another maintenance turn, and get some ice cream, instead. I go through this every Friday, and it just gets old. It's not a very productive use of my time.
Destroying my own worlds, at least, isn't as boring as doing nothing. But, for any other Cybernetic player out there pondering it, just to see what the turn results say, it's not as though you get very much in the way of colorful narrative. By and large, it's an uneventful event.
I've sent probes out until I am broke. Neither probe type appears to be of much value, based upon what results that I have received from them, thus far.
I still can't print out the rulebook. If I could, then I would simply cut out the parts that are confusing me, and focus upon what remains. Currently, deciphering it is an electronic Hell, of sorts, for me.
I just want to understand what to do. Saying build this or that is pointless, since I don't know how to actually do it. So, I build no mining centers, no production centers, or whatever these things are called. So many abbreviations to sift through. So needlessly complicated, and for what gain?
Ice cream, at least, tastes good.

Is there a set of rules in Word format?
