Fodder I expect to lose, but the majority of my attacking fleet will succeed in its mission and return home. This new "strategy" you call it is sending a whole attacking fleet as fodder, and expecting no fleet returning. A good strategy is based on risk vs reward, but there is no risk whatsoever here for the attacker, because as soon as he sends fleet, it is over. The only strategy any of these suicide bombers use is spending a few mins with the sim. There is zero strategy put into it, and very little thought, because it doesn't require it. I could send out 19 suicide missions at a time, but why? There is no thrill or excitement in it, and if that's the way this game was headed, I would quit tomorrow.

There is a risk is there not... I.e you sprouting up some recyclers and recycling the debris *THEREFORE* the attacker LOSES OUT...
Also to me every attack is exploiting the opposition aswel... as, YOU are gaining the RESOURCES! ^^ In respect to all this THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK to ANY form of attack..... Anyhows what the problem in congratulating the hit.... as there IS profit.... lets all move on and await the next!

it is my quote, i should have been more clear. but obviously he was not sending an md at every moon at once lol. let's try to think here. and as for the risk, if he had come on and seen the hits coming he could have lifted his fleet. i would have been out 15mil deut for nothing. What makes this a strategy is the fact that all of you are upset. Perses is down right mad. it came within minutes of costing him all of his rips today. had my jg been cool... bye bye all those lovely rips. he will continue to send md, the last one he didn't even safety probe so... soon the arrogance and anger will get the best of you holier than thow folks

You say there is no risk for the attacker - after its been pointed out that Perses may have been online and lifted some ships, killing all the attackers fleet and ending in an epic fail - which you pointed to to suggest an insider may have leaked information re Perses being offline. Whatever the retaliation (all good fun), on forum, surely, good grace in victory or defeat is paramount.! Instead of "nice hit, now your gonna get it", you point to cheating and then making use of a flaw in the combat system which if you dont mind me saying so is poor form

Im all for debate so long as its constructive.

Massive profits, glotr defender as always

Look I really don't see anything wrong the fact is you call it a "flaw" and if it was would that "Flaw" not be fixed due to balance issues? My point is it is not a "flaw" it has been around for years, Just because someone does things differently to take out a big fleet doesn't mean it's a flaw. Now it's inside info about online times when we can clearly see when he is online due to the activity by his name or raid increase. Watch this topic be locked in the future I can already see it coming

It is a flaw, in the sense that zorg did not have the foresight to take suicide missions into account when developing the battle engine. He will tell you it was thought of and considered till he is red in the face, but the fact remains, it was not. For the record, you guys are not the first, nor will you be the last to employ this tactic. I call it a tactic, not a strategy, because I still fail to see the risk or cleverness involved in it. This has been discussed thoroughly, and my opinion on it is in the minority, so unfortunately it is here to stay. I am merely stating my opinion on it. None of us are "mad" about it, more disappointed in the direction the game is headed. I will not congratulate such a senseless mission because there is nothing impressive about it.

Don't expect this topic to be locked, because there is no flaming or insulting at least from this corner. It is what it is, and I agree, let's move on.

Am i gonna have to lock this as well? ON topic less trolling, lat warning to all.
Harry watch the triple posting in the future.


As for the hits, Nicley done gotta use whatever strategy works for you, I Wouldnt call it a flaw if its not getting fixed so i think its a great use of strategy to turn a nice profit.... For shame on the insults and threats in PM just take the little loss to your fleet its not like he crashed your entire fleet or even a tenth of it ... Sometimes i swear some players with huge fleets think that they shouldnt be able to be attacked only attack others.

there is nothing to "solve". As I said before, like it or not, it is a part of the game now, and the thread you post has been dissected enough.

well Harry, i respect your opinion even if i disagree with it. And for the record, if the places had been reversed, i would have been mad as well. that is the time to fs and walk away for an hour or so lol. last time i was crashed i didn't play for the rest of the day as it took that long for me to calm down about it and that was just a 60k fleet lol.
