Advance, Advance Baby v0.5

Shiiuga 1266

A quick 'first thoughts' on how to build a Titan Transnational: Investing In Your Future advanced ice deck. I really think this is the ID/update advanceable ice has been waiting for.

Firmware Updates becomes 25% more effective, Geothermal Fracking gets another hit, High-Risk Investment has the potential to really mess with some of the richer runners - TWICE, and Project Atlas has an obvious benefit of effectively being overadvanced once for free. If you reckon you can get away with it, why not try for another advancement token?

Asteroid Belt, Wormhole, Orion (and to a lesser extent Nebula) for some ludicrously strong ICE that is admittedly susceptible to D4V1D. Still, advancing three times then rezzing for free/cheap with Executive Boot Camp at the start of your next turn will hopefully keep all but the nosiest of runners out for a while.

Once your big guns are up, Trick of Light or Constellation Protocol the tokens to the destination of your choice. Want some cheap-as-chips but reasonable strength ETR ICE? Feed them to the Ice Wall. Econ dipping a little? Frack the Earth with your GRNDL Refinery Got a Project Atlas or Firmware Updates that needs some help? Weyland Fast Advance!

Shipment from Kaguya Builder and Matrix Analyzer provide you with some extra tokens to noodle around with. This is still an early build and I have a feeling that 3 Matrix Analysers may be too many, but we shall see in playtesting.

Can't you see I'm too busy advancing things to do basic mathematics?!
