(Share your story) - Highest discount / "best" Imported Nitrogen you've ever been able to cast(in game with 'real' opp)?

[Yahyra]

Hi all; I had another fun Prelude game today where the stars aligned / I high rolled some luck on project cards. I cast Imported Nitrogen, base cost of 23, for 8 (and even got 3 back from media group, and 3 from optimal aerobreaking).

Anyone gotten an even better / more discounted one? I guess I was missing the research outpost discount (I did not draw that card). I imagine if you play enough solo plays you can get that one going.

(This was in a 'real' game with a 'real' opponent: )

Pretty sure with all the games played someone has collected every single discount and rebate somewhere for the maximum benefit.

Nitrogen has base cost of 23 with Earth, Space and Event tags. These make it cheaper:
-5 Generic rebates: Research Outpost, Earth Cat, Antigrav 23-5=18
-8 Space discounts: Mass Converter, Quantum Extractor, Space Station, Shuttles 18-8=10
-6 Earth discount: Earth Office, Teractor Corp ability 10-6=4

Rebates
+6 MC, +3 Heat: Optimal Aerobreaking, Media Group
+2 / +3 Corp rebate: IC / Credicor

So with Teractor or Credicor you can play Nitrogen for net +2mc and +3 heat. If you factor in buying the card for 3, it is -1mc +3heat. Let me know if I left something out and I hope that helps.

She does stack the deck to create her results. But it is nonetheless quite educational for how you could exploit the discount cards if you have a sweet starting hand.

With credicor it's not +3 but +4, so you can play nitrogen for 0mc and +3heat.
