Could I get a fresh map? Like 4 different things just happened that potentially mess with what I was planning to do here and I want to make sure I have'em all straight.

I'm a few hundred miles from home, so late tonight is the earliest I can put up a map.

EDIT: Got home so late I couldn't put up a map, and now I have work! Tonight, tonight.

Googleshng, if you don't want to wait until tonight for a new map, here's a quick rundown on what's happened since the last one:

Mindnet High Alert on Mellon
Yin Dreadnought from Thibah to Wormhole Beta
Big fight between `Hrist and Epithet for Abyz/Fria (see last page)
Sol build 3 Cruisers and 1 Carrier at Thibah

OK, digging up the last map (this, right?) and trying to get this all worked out and still getting a bit of a headache...

Wormhole Beta was already activated before this. Was that a legal move there?

OK, so. Biting the bullet and retracing things, it seems my original plan, backup plan, and secondary backup plan all went wonky do to crazy stuff people went and did recently, but that crazy stuff left a bunch of systems I've been worried about doing stuff exhausted, so... @%$# it. I'm just going to go ahead and do this and work out my next real move without totally holding the game up!

I'll exhaust Arnor and Sumerian to grab Advanced Fighters.

Nar – 2/3

Mehar Xull 1/3 (Blue Tech Specialty)

Much as I want an extra Dreadnought, I only have my carrier and two GTs on Lodor

Lessee...I have two Ground Forces on Abyz, the PDS there doesn't have Deep Space Cannon range icons, and I haven't activated the system this round. Otherwise the map seems fine.

The Mindnet warily checks its assets, reputation, and power, and comes to one conclusion: They are falling behind. The Mindnet needs a single new planet. Perimeter must be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Activating Perimeter and moving from Mellon system 2 Dreadnoughts, 1 Carrier, 2 Fighters, 2 Ground Forces, and the High Alert token and from 0.0.0 1 Cruiser and 1 Ground force with intent to invade the planet.

This will void The Mindnet's Trade Agreement with the N'orr.

My initial Deep Space Laser PDS roll: 10 (Hit)
