Good game all 
The game just updated again on iOS. I haven’t looked at what the update does, but just a friendly little reminder that you are automatically logged out whenever the game updates and you will need to log back in.

@OhBollox I think you have been up in our game for a few days now. Just letting you know in case a notification has misfired or something.

Sorry chaps, the update logged me out!
Yikes. I was scrapping for awards and wasn’t paying attention to VP!
Good game, gents.

I got a notification when (presumably) the game ended and I was excited to finally see end-game scores. Our game is listed as open still but it will not load for me. Baby steps?
sorry, but nothing new. i think since the second last patch.
Anyone up for another game of TfM?

So, from the likes & replies, that’s @OhBollox, @js619, @Mirefox and @JMH.75. Marvellous. Game created, including Corporate Era & Prelude.
It’d be nice if Asmodee kicked another expansion out of the door at some point.

They still haven’t figured out how to allow everyone to see scores, or show player names; frankly, it is a miracle we have Prelude. I can’t imagine they are working all that hard at expansions, though I’d take mini-expansions, like variable milestones/rewards.

Everyone is in, @JMH.75 to start picking cards.
It would also be nice if Asmodee fixed letting you pick cards and then forgetting your choice because it’s not your turn.
Well, I had an advance look and I am impressed by the lack of synergy between my corps, prelude cards and projects. Challenge accepted evil billionaire plutocrat laugh

“Advanced” strategy question:
When I’m giving advice to new players, I recommend playing to your corporation’s strengths.
However, when you more or less know how to play, do you think it is more advantageous to play off your corporation or to pick prelude cards and actions that bolster your deficiencies? I’m sure the most obvious answer is “it depends” but I’ve always wondered if either of those approaches is better than the other.

It really does depend, but even playing to your corp’s strengths can depend. If we take Ecoline as a simple example, I’d rather play cards like Experimental Forest and Ecology Expert over Biofuels and Dome Farming. Extra plant production is welcome but it’s also extra plant production early when you’re most vulnerable. Early Settlement can be a great one, too. Cards that do stuff in the area of your corp’s strength without being one-dimensional. It’s absolutely best that you get some sort of synergy going between your corp, preludes, and starting cards going, whether that synergy is your corp’s specialty isn’t relevant.
You also need to take into account the deck distribution and player count. The real risky click is playing the likes of Phobolog/Point Luna/Saturn Systems with Acquired Space Agency/Galilean Mining/Orbital Construction Yard, or Helion and Mohole/Mohole Excavation. You can over-specialise in an area that becomes a dead end either due to player actions or the cards you receive afterwards. There are some good general preludes like Society Support and Supply Drop but you then have to think about how efficient they are, which is usually Not Very. You also need to consider your developments in Milestone and Award terms, because they’re too much VP to ignore.
You don’t need a rigid plan of this card then this card then this card, but you do need a framework.
