Darthstalker probed one of my planets and moons yesterday so I probed back. He had a sizable fleet at the planet so I decided to recycle those ships. After a couple of attempts, I figured out his strategy.

This morning I spotted his fleet on his moon but waited a couple of hours - a probe revealed his fleet was gone again but I found he left 1 RIP sitting on a planet (probably just built it) so I destroyed it.

After removing his moon, his fleet was revealed.


So now comes the intense part. Waiting till he gets close enough to send my fleet, the thought crossed my mind that he may be getting an ACS Defend from somebody. So I was relieved when my attack did not fail.

And my recyclers were 2 seconds behind the hit.

Nice hit, his fleet was probably gone attacking my planet at the time. Glotr deathstalker.

so he was fsing from moon to planet at low speed?

all in all nice intel processing. love to see when a good brain work is needed for a crash regardless of the size.

cheers for the spoils and a game of chess.
