Well, this was an interesting event this morning. I logged on and almost immediately I was PM'd by a player asking for help. He was being attacked by Tanktheman.

I got the details of the attack and determined that an ACS Defend was out of the question because his ACS Depot finished building about 2 minutes before the attack.

I asked for the attack times and fleet size. I quickly calculated for a Half Blind Phalanx hit. Sent Recs and launched. I must have been about 1 or 2 seconds in front of his fleet (confirmed by Tanktheman):

The attacker has won the battle !
You receive 2000000 units of Metal, 2000000 units of Crystal and 1429288 units of Deuterium.
The attacker has lost a total of 0 units.
The defender has lost a total of 0 units.
A debris field containing 0 units of Metal and 0 units of Crystal has formed in orbit around the planet.


I launched again after probing and finding his fleet arrived back just after the first attack. This time the target was destroyed:

The attacker has won the battle !
You receive 1920500 units of Metal, 1920500 units of Crystal and 714644 units of Deuterium.
The attacker has lost a total of 0 units.
The defender has lost a total of 123.477.000 units.
A debris field containing 55.079.100 units of Metal and 19.007.100 units of Crystal has formed in orbit around the planet.
The probability of creating a moon is : 19 %


Luckily for me the Recs had not arrived yet so I was able to capture all the DF within seconds after the second attack.

You collect; 55.079.100 units of Metal and 19.007.100 units of Crystal.



Feeling a bit lucky, I also launched Cargos to capture as much resources I could too, but he came online and messaged me.

Good luck rebuilding your fleet. ;)

I hate to spoil a party, but technically this hit was a return lanx / half-blind lanx and not a complete blind lanx. None-the-less it is the best hit skill-wise that has been on the forums in months. Enjoy the profits Torgard.

GLoTR Tank, not much you can do has you safe from these kinds of thinds :?

How is this a blind lanx if you relaunched after his fleet landed and you probed it?
Non the less, good hit :dance:

sorry to rain on the party but this is to true. if the first hit would have made it then yeah it would have been a return half blind lanix hit. but since you failed. then reprobed and launched....
anyways i think tank is really happy you didn't launch for the resources sooner lol.
great hit and FR tank
