So yeah, i won, debris recovered (cheers for the help Slash!), made a decent profit. The thing i don't get though, is the incredible battle techs this guy had to allow him, in the final round of combat to take out 4 Large Cargo's, 23 Light Fighters, 4 Cruisers, 12 Battleships, 1 Destroyer, 1 Battlecruiser and both of my Deathstars in a single shot from his Large Shield Dome. Talk about a screwed up combat engine.

he had defenses on a moon?

Yeah i lolled too, level 9 shipyard!

i dont think i've seen a good attack against a moon, i'd stay clear of them for now until the combat engine is sorted.

nice

Agreed, moons are weird in a lot of ways. I don't fully trust mine as the owner and I don't really feel comfortable with them as an attacker. I have attacked several moons, but not with anything I couldn't shrug off if it died.

This must have been a really, really bad shield dome
I 've also met such monstrous shield domes myself on planets, not moons, taking one or two of my destroyers down in the last round, with a single shot.

I attacked a planet with a RIP and 5 cruisers - just a fleet-save, really more than anything else - defended by 5 light lasers and a shield dome. Round 1 I took out all 5 light lasers; Round 2 the shield killed 3 cruisers and the RIP before dying.

So, yeah, RIPs aren't really for attacking unless you have a wall of ships in front of them, and even then, it's risky. When that glitch is fixed and rapid-fire is enabled it'll be different.
