12/21: The Bernals are good, and you really need to build one early, which makes me wonder whatperios the game is trying to simulate, because building a burneal would seem to me to lag a moonlanding, but so be it. JeroenD colonized, but I didn’t get so far.

I really think the Bernal and colonists stuff is, while super-flavorful, problematic from both a gameplay and simulation perspective. This stuff has never worked super-well and while it works much better now, it still makes the game strategically a bit of a railroad. The extra actions from the colonists are just crazy powerful as well, and if you can get one that helps you do something you need to do, then you're in great shape; if you get one you can't take advantage of for whatever reason it's pretty painful. It also makes the game long and can inflict super-uneven engagement. If one player gets "over the hump" and has a Bernal on a remote site and a couple good colonists they can do a lot of stuff on their turn and consume a disproportionately huge amount of the gaming time while everyone else kinda watches and waits and then takes a mini-turn to just refuel or do one auction or whatever. At the best of times it's not great, and it doesn't take much to become really painful. And it's *long*. This all isn't to say that this module can't be fun. I think it's great to play a couple times for the fun of setting up colonies on the moons of Saturn or whatever and seeing what wacky and wildly improbable colonists and futures Phil has come up with (the Terawatt thrusters and Freighters future, while fantastic, do have a tenuous connection to what might be possible. The colonists, not so much). I honestly don't think there is serious replay value here though. -- Just a quick strategy comment: it appears that, like HF3 and HF2, you just have to get your Bernal in place as your first order of business. There might possibly be a strategy for NASA involving grabbing Glory chips and politics, but I am skeptical. The advantages of having a Bernal in place - 1 Aqua income per turn, getting your faction privilege, extra actions from colonists - are just huge. So you’ve pretty much got to fundraise by churning patents and then launch your Bernal before doing anything else. So as a corollary, you probably should use the QuickStart rules. This is all fine (although churning patents for money is one of the dumber aspects of the game), but you just kind of have to know it.
