So I colonized near a planet to attack it and I send my fleet there.It was set on a 1 hrs journey at 50% speed.At around 10 mins I saw this player squirrel on crack who send a fleet to destroy it 1 minutes after I park?
How did he know I was taking my fleet there cause he only probed the colony I put near the one I was gunna attack.
He didnt wanna tell me so Im writing here :P.

Edit: He knew exactly when I recalled fleet.I guess next time I will recall it 1minute before it lands.

Now Im dieing of curiousity lol.

Edit 2:Lol I deleted my planet but he still took my 3300BC guess Im out of business for a while.
Gratz Sadbutrue Post the results on the forum its was DF I never saw before lol.

ha ha, yeah I got my phalanxed and tried to delete my planet club card. I figured better off losing everything than let my opponent get my stuff. Well, i just ended up losing everything.

Getting phalanxed like that is worse than reading a bad combat report, the anticipation is terrible and nothing you can do.

you should have been calm and let the fleet land. sounds like Squirrel was lagged a lot on the first attack. cooler heads will prevail

A 10 Second dodge? I could do that o.O

Unless you're doing dial-up, that would be easy...

It can be done. It is not easy though. Sometimes the server lags no matter what the connection speed.
