I *have* a fleet about that size. Not exact, but close.

... it's nowhere around that planet though. :P
your bug report post says otherwise.. lol ;)

the fleet wasnt heading to the moon by the way.
Well, no, it's not that. It's just that all this thinking and talking about phalanxes got me concerned, lol. We all ASSUMED moons were phalanx-proof but we don't KNOW they're phalanx-proof. :P

How many missiles *was* that, anyway? It looks like 48 from my messages, but they're so wonky I can't tell for sure. Even if it was 24 ...

For four hours' production and 10 large cargos that were queue overflow from before I left? For that? 20+ missiles. For that.

Really? :lol:

Edit - I didn't even really LOOK at the combat report ... knew there wasn't anything home ...

First, I have 48,000 points, you have 180,000 points ... you need to get them thar techs up, SirD. My guns (you know, all like, 5 of them) shoot harder than yours.

Secondly, I know it wasn't a real long trip, but ... what's the gas bill like on that hit? :? The destroyers alone had to be a couple grand.

Thirdly, the word for the day, children, is "overkill." Dude!
You receive 122186 units of Metal, 83140 units of Crystal and 99817 units of Deuterium.
Dang, dude, you could've cargo-raided inactives for that, and it wouldn't have taken all those missiles to get it. I almost feel like I'm complicit in milking or something. :roll: Except for milking to be in effect I think you need to profit. :geek:

I've been trying to wrap my head around the hits people have made on me in this game.

so what was this post all about then mate if you dont mind me asking?? lol

is lying and throwing mud around hoping some will stick ok as long as nobody knows its not the truth? in my oppinion its better to stay quiet if you not going to be truthful. :?

we do keep having these chats on the forum for some reason though, its entertaining to say the least. :)

I didn't lie at any point. At the time of the post:
- I wasn't even aware you HAD a phalanx that could reach that planet (seeing as how I haven't probed you)
- I wouldn't have thought that, if you DID have a phalanx that could reach that planet, that you'd attack it on the belief there was a fleet going there. The reason for that:

Doesn't matter that the times on phalanxes are/were off; if they'd been precise you still wouldn't have hit anything - the fleet simply was not there.

From MY standpoint, it looked like you were just mauling a basically defenseless planet for a few scraps of res with about 25x the fleet you needed to use on it.

You said you saw a fleet coming home. I have no evidence of that (because I COULDN'T), but I believe what you said -- and already said as much. Yeah, if I saw the fleet your phalanx said would be there, I'd come the way you did, too.

But when I made that post I had no inkling of what your phalanx was telling you. So, no, I wasn't lying about anything.

As far as attacking you goes ... you were the only member of your alliance some of us COULD attack. I dunno if you noticed me probing you, but when it was happening was the point at which one of your guys was bullying what was, at the time, our lowest-ranked player. He's getting the hang of fleet-saving and all, now, but at the time he was really feeling, as you say, "backed into a corner." You had cargos, at least, which means you can move. Our guy didn't have anything. The majority of us couldn't do anything to said player (who I *can* name, but it seems a bit moot, now), so that's probably why you got the attention you did..
I am a bit curious about this one too. I was bullying a couple of your lower level guys in response to one of my low level former alliance mates being bullied. I certainly never told anyone I would make them quit and actually had some fun with it.

As far as it goes, despite starting a little less than two weeks ago, I was probed by 9 of the top 10 players in RAWK. I wasn't upset about it , hell, it taught me fleet saving from the very start.

If that was me, I think there was probably some miscommunication on your side. I did send PMs to a couple of guys that probed me and had fun with it. In fact, if one of my old alliance mates did say that, it irks me that I didn't know and I would like to know who said it. Getting the attention of RAWK early in the game while your first starting to build your fleet is not the best strategy.

Okay, i don't want to seem like the party pooper here, but this is going seriously off topic. As i have said, if you have other issues post them elsewhere or discuss them via PM, especially ones that incite anger or unecassary arguement. If one more post appears here that is not on the topic of the posted battle, i will lock it.

Seriously, who cares if its going a little off topic. There really haven't been any good discussions in this forum. This is the first one that's worth reading. The flow of conversation is shifting as normal conversations do.

Not every post has to be dead on about the thread starters first post. Nobody wants a dull and dead forum, which is what this forum was before this thread, and will be if it's locked.

So, just to avoid the unnecessary lockage:
Nice hit SirDuction. I've always dreamt of catching someone napping and dropping their rank in half, in one hit.

I couldn't probe you at the time -- I can NOW, but that's different -- and I'm probably 7th or 8th in the standings among RAWK. So the majority of top RAWK players couldn't do anything about you.
'

True, that may have been unintentionally misleading. In the beginning I was too low to be probed by the top tier guys. I was probed by higher level guys than myself from the beginning, but I don't have a problem with it either. It is part of the game.

Just for the record, I never told anyone I would make them quit the game.
