I got a tip his fleet was down and I lanxed 11 Rips coming back from an attack. I consulted with Kick and he advised I wait for the Rips instead of launching at the fleet. Just in case he dodged and vmoded, I would at least be guaranteed his Rips. I hesitantly agreed that was a better idea, Kick is a much greater fleeter than I am.

Luckily he didnt dodge or check his overview screen but my initial launch of recs beat my hit by 2 seconds I had to recall and wait for their return and relaunch. All DF picked up all his planets had activity I figured he launched every rec he had in that cluster. Guess I was wrong, thanks Kick for the advice it really paid off.
