Noticed Torgard's fleet down at the update and thought I would go looking, just to check. Located his fleet in a place I had spotted it a few times before (same place as my hit on Dino months ago, funnily enough). I wasn't quite sure if he was offline or not, but he was giving no indicators, so I waited around and decided to send a roamer... Ran a bunch of sims... was a tough call as far as what fodder combination to send... my sim results were all over the place... Finally just settled on something that seemed like it would work (not saying it was the best choice, but it was getting more consistent results than other things I was trying). No activity, number steady at update... Decided to go for it. FleetHound hung around to give me a few ms (thanks, Hound! Could not have done it without that moon!) and I got into place.
Luck was truly on my side for once. As has been pointed out to me, if Torgard had come online at any point he could have strategically lifted to make a huge mess of the particular combination I sent. I knew I was taking a risk, but it was a calculated one. As it happened, the hit went through as expected, and I think the results speak for themselves:
The attacker has won the battle !
You receive 0 units of Metal, 0 units of Crystal and 4.322.447 units of Deuterium.
The attacker has lost a total of 1.869.420.000 units.
The defender has lost a total of 14.519.060.000 units.
A debris field containing 5.649.450.000 units of Metal and 4.183.638.000 units of Crystal has formed in orbit around the planet.
The probability of creating a moon is : 19 %
No res with the fleet except just over 8 million deut, so didn't bother with follow ups.
DF collected in full.
Gigantic Glotr, Torgard... You truly have my respect for the polite congratulatory PM you sent me after you came online.
