As it turns out, there actually *is* something I can do to help.  It's not going to decisively tip the balance in our favor, but it will at least put the AROM on notice that I can hurt them: 

I didn't realize this until just now, but the AROM have a couple colonies (Capua and Actium) to the galactic south of my homeworld...and they happen to be *just* within range of my fleet.  So I believe I'm going to have to pay them a little visit -- a purely friendly one, of course.  ;)  My ships will arrive at Capua in 4 turns!

And I've already given W8taminute all the techs I have currently.  (At least I think I have; I'll double-check this next turn here.) 
Correction:  *Now* I've given you all the techs I have.  (I forgot about the Orbital Scanner.)  ;)

Shelldrake:  My fleet is now departing my capital.  It has begun... 


Next turn, I break my alliance and declare war on the Qa-Qa.  Three turns from now, the Assembly's colony on Cornwall ceases to exist.  They shall pay the price for offending the Imperium!

Martok: Perfect. I am reinforcing Avalon and moving towards an alliance with the Humans.

Roughly how long does it take you guys to play out a single turn before you are ready to send it to the others? I've purchased the game during the recent Amazon sale (Amazon does allow repeated downloads btw) and I'm thinking of setting it up soon. I'd be lucky to get in two turns every three days so I'm also curious as to how many turns an average size game can last.

A turn doesn't take too long...at least with the smallish empires that I seem to have to make do with! :/
Usually 5-10 min for me.

On average we manage a turn a day, more on weekends.

The Empire allying with the Humans?!  Your Klurgu ancestors must be rolling over in their graves!  :P 

...Or is this merely the setup for your inevitable betrayal of them?  ;D

Kewl!  May you derive as much enjoyment from it as the rest of us.  :)

Pretty much what Shelldrake said:  We generally play MP matches on smaller maps, so the turns usually don't take very long. 

I'd say 2 turns in 3 days is pretty par for the course, at least for me.  Shelldrake and W8taminute are actually better with getting their turns sent out than I am, but about a turn a day is indeed the norm.

I'll echo what Shelldrake and Martok have said and it usually takes me 10 to 15 minutes to belt out a turn.  More if I'm preparing for war.  ;)

I could probably play at least 2 or 3 turns a night most of the time.  More so on the weekends.

ITS HERE!!!   My copy just arrived in the mail today, all the way from Merry Ol' England.  I won't get a chance to load it until later tonight.  However, it looks like the wife and kids are going up to the inlaws this weekend, so I'll have lots of time!!

@Shelldrake:  Cornwall is no more.  The Xpectrada's campaign has begun! 


@W8taminute:  I think the AROM is getting worried.  They just tried offering me a defensive alliance.  ;D

@Martok: Excellent! Qa-Qa homeworld seems poorly defended. Perhaps they have deployed their fleet in response to your brilliant attack on Cornwall? I plan to attack the Qa-Qa homeworld next turn.

@Martok and W8taminute: AROM has reason to worry! I just declared war on them...again but this time I have better beam weapons and a marine assault force! :)

@Shelldrake  Nice!  My ships and marines will be at their jump off points in about 2 more turns.  Then I'm declaring.  I've got a scout at Actium and have set my sights on this target. 


@Martok  Thanks for the tech.  Forgot to mention it 2 turns ago.

Sorry for the delay guys.  I got home from work really late last night and went straight to bed.  Turn played and sent.  I'm sending my fleet to Actium and will declare war on the AROM next turn.  My fleet and marines are 1 turn away from Actium.

No worries. I am busy putting down riots on Ravena [sp?] before moving on to my next target. I expect to have cruiser researched in 4 turns.
