I'm looking for people that want to do standard pok milty draft with me, maybe more than one if we are able. Prefered timezone is europe but I guess it doesnt matter too much because draft isn't too long.
It would be nice to talk about draft during it or after it.

Sure, I'm down.

@raven night last pick is yours

Finished.
Why do you all picked slices? I don't see that much difference between slices. With Sol and 2nd pick I can quickly get grav drive and take equidistant.
I think I won that draft, I am satisfied with my slice
grim rover
Mentak with 2 yellow skips was my target. Plus I don't really like having strong planets in my equidistant.
But Sol can work in any slice it's true.
I thought someone would pick muaat, which would have been a prime pillage target 😄
pure kelp
I think I should have picked position before I picked slice. I was looking for Sardakk and could probably have left them and that slice until last. Two 3 planet systems isn't ideal.
grim rover
Nice to have a blue skip and lots of planets for sardakk though
The only setup that looks hard for me is Keleres but that's mostly the 2 inf start and being last pick

True but still. Would it have been better to pick an earlier SC pick order? Or would that slice have been picked up?

Not sure, feels like one of us two should probably have taken second position but I think it turned out fine
Who gets custodians here?

i mostly wanted a good slice since i saw lots of decent factions, but with sardakk neighbour with a 3 planet system i dont know how much i would have liked this draft
grim rover
How does Keleres work, are you also not able to use Mentak HS because Mentak is in the game?

They can use Xxcha or Argent Hs instead.

As others said there were lots of decent factions and I am very partial to Ghosts so I wanted a wormhole since I couldn't imagine anyone picking slice 7 (it's horrendous) so I got a slice first.
Then again because of the many decent factions I went for position. I feel like there is a world of difference between being in the first half and being in the last half.
Lastly I pivoted away from ghosts because I was next to Sol and Mentak I felt that a show of force was better. Especially since Sol gets second pick. Should they get warfare or tech->grav drive and go for Starpoint/New Albion I could go for an early capture and knee capping. Also I am colored by having just recently played Cabal and I had only 7 influence total in my slice which hurt a lot so having Arinam/Meer made me want to try them out again.
grim rover
Yeah Cabal looks great in that position

Not great choices for home system but the Argent flavored Hero is great.

No that does look intimidating

Yeah I only played them once with xxcha hero but that hero is really bad

As is their home system.

Okay. I need to think waaaayyy more about my picks. Currently I'm thinking about which faction I want to play.

I mean this was for theorycrafting so I gave it an extra gear.
Normally I just want a decent slice and R1 with any faction. Only I don't wanna play L1Z1X.
slender path
Why not?
near jetty
I am not that into the heavy hitting races and L1Z1X just has the worst starting techs for a 2 tech race that often lead to going for inheritance systems (which isn'tworth it). On top of that their agent is annoying to use, and their 5 res home planet just annoys me irrationelly when it come to tech. That said it's more preference than anything.

I love L1Z1X. The agent is a pain though.
If you can get a yellow skip they are amazing. They are seldom picked early as well which means you can count on them being left at the end of the draft.
The PN is an easy sell to boot.
near jetty
True. They're not bad at all. I just don't like to play them.
pure kelp
You have to be willing to push people around which is difficult. Same thing with Cabal.
near jetty
I don't mind that part 😄
pure kelp
Me neither. But some people almost take it personally when you attack someone.
