Thanks to Istalris for giving me this target and Sadbutrue for letting me know it was time to hit.
(by your postings, guys)

SirDuction was a previous member of ~V~, but I noticed they ejected him within the last 6-12 hrs or so.

I spent the last 24 hours building recyclers -- still not enough for a single trip.
All 508M DF collected!

Profit: 352.5M

Grats! Number 1 again.

Yup, sad to see a good player go in such style. SBTs #1 didnt even last 24Hrs! Nice hit and sweet profits.

nice profits ..

I knew this was gonna happen! Sooooo close to 1B TD. I think SBT might've beat this on profit, but considering you had to smash through a massively turtled planet this is still amazing. Congrats on taking back your number 1! I'll go update it now.

I'm not sure what else to say...

Yes, I expected the TD to be over 1 Billion too. So did Excel when I entered all of his defenses and ships and their associated costs. Apparently the ZorgEmpire combat engine sees things differently though.

No suprises. How many rounds did the fight last, if you don't mind me asking?

-Istalris-

you should have sent more fodder!

great hit!

Combat lasted 3 rounds.

I can definitively say from the combat results that (as we've suspected for a while) that the defender gets the benefit of rapidfire and the attacker does not.
