HF4A Solo Game — 3rd and 4th Cycle

Prior Solar Cycle — First Cycle, Second Cycle. When last we left, I’d managed to just industrialize Hygiea (after getting Frederika a few years prior), and acquired patents so that I perform my next industrialization without crippling my rocket. After a rebuilding cycle. T3.1 — Due to “Solar Cycle Daylight Savings,” we spring forward and skip this turn1. T3.2 — Glitch event, but no effect. I ET produce Microbial Fuel Cells (the back of the H2-02 Fuel Cell) on Hygiea and attach it to my rocket. This gives me +1 Net thrust (in addition to making the rocket actually work), but it’s still modified by solar zone. T3.3 — I ET produce Nanobots and attach it to the rocket. I took a while to decide if I wanted to upgrade my thruster from the Pulsed-Inductive to the Dual Stage 4-Grid. (Card Reference). The DS4G is much more fuel efficient (and I can live with changing generator types, as the Microbial Fuel Cells count as either). And the DS4G gets a ballerina pivot … but the loss of Net Thrust…
