About a week and a half ago I probed one of his moons and saw that he had a surprisingly larger fleet than I had expected. Well I had kept an eye on him and he kept growing. Showing his punctuality he avoided me last week when I had tried at him. Well, last night I thought I had his fs between a couple moons so popped them:
The attacker has won the battle !
The attacker has lost a total of 850000 units.
The defender has lost a total of 44770000 units.
A debris field containing 60000 units of Metal and 450000 units of Crystal has formed in orbit around the planet.
A fleet of the planet Moon [X:XXX:XX] to the moon of the planet [X:XXX:XX]
The fleets deathstar concentrated their graviton shocks on the moon, causing the moon to tear itself apart. All buildings are destroyed - Mission accomplished !The moon is destroyed! The fleet has returned.
The probablity of the destruction of the moon is : 99 %
The attacker has won the battle !
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.

Well, he didn't show! So I then did the good old plan B. I sent moon destructs on every moon that was not a friend or mate of mine within about 5 systems. About half way, phalanxing after each I finally got:
A (Fleet) from the planet [X: XXX: XX] back on the planet [X: XXX: XX]. Its mission: ACS Defend
Well, it was not due back for another 16 hours! First I recalled the other moon destructs... Well, thought I would sleep on the actual crash but before I could, Gorbag came online early in his morning to check his moons... probably from me lol. With a lot of big fleets either vm or friends of mine, he first tried to psych me out on the hit to get me to recall -> great gamesmanship there and a hella good idea!
While talking I sent him some moonshots to replace one of his moons so that he could have a quick rebuild afterwards as I believed the hit was going to work.
After waking up the next day, sent the hit and recs within a couple seconds of it all and:
The attacker has won the battle !
You receive 125641701 units of Metal, 44844385 units of Crystal and 8146785 units of Deuterium.
The attacker has lost a total of 8.313.000 units.
The defender has lost a total of 3.229.390.000 units.
A debris field containing 669.754.800 units of Metal and 349.395.000 units of Crystal has formed in orbit around the planet.
The probability of creating a moon is : 19 %
You collect; 669.754.800 units of Metal and 349.395.000 units of Crystal.
Made around 1.1-1.2bil profit on the hit

A big glotr to Gorbag, who showed nothing but great sportsmanship the whole way
