Looking at it I would go rocketry next at 100% next, then either spaceflight or fision

 

[Calis]

Good set of turns CB

We will have our space ship launched soon...

I'm sick, I cannot play.

That's bad news. All the best for a quick recovery!

I am playing in the emperor SG right now. Give me two days and I will take the turns.

I'm sick, I cannot play.

Hope you get better quickly.

 

[Calis]

@Equatore: If you recover before Friday, you can take the turns. I won't be able to play before Friday anyway.

 

[Calis]

Played the first 5 turns of my set. Pretty eventless. But lots of worker movements.

Hopefully I get finished tomorrow.

[CommandoBob]

@Equatore: want to swap turnsets, so you can make up the one you didn't to play this round due to sickness?

@Mike Hussey: are you ready to play after Equatore?

 

[del62]

CommandoBob

As neither Mike or Equatote have turned up indicating they are ready to play you should play it anyway. I dont think there will be loads to do and it should be a fairly quick turnset.

 

[CommandoBob]

I agree. I've got it.

I don't think a strategy post is needed; our goals are pretty set and we're in the home stretch.

I'll focus on learning space techs and building space ship parts.

 

[Equatore]

My health is back. I can take turns after CommandoBob, with pleasure.
