Monkeys Strategy: Gazzage and Ratters are intentionally keeping their scores low to avoid attacks. However, they are taking partially built planets from players in and around them in other alliances, as can be seen from their number of planets.
It's a sound tactic as they are easily able to defend against potential attackers. Gazzage sends Ratters the ships required to take the planet and then Ratters abandones it.
IMO we either need to fund their enemies or one of us should do the same by reducing their planets and score. That player can receive aid from all members in the form of ships and troops with which t invade.
I believe that the Monkeys pose our most serious threat.
Any War mongers fancy going down there to force them up?

How about we use plan Z against them? I assume if we send enough transports and cyborgs plus a few anti-PDS ships to a tag member with a low score it wont bump the score up too much?
Alternatively I could give a load of ships away and take a few of their planets off them, or just knock a few fleets down.
Any other volunteers? I don't get much time online recently and for the next few days.

Ratters may be susceptable to plan Z but Gazzage is building units like they are going out of fashion and keeps a strong fleet at his main only

A agree with Raven as to their rising in power. It was this that made me post their overall position in the Intelligence thread. But then being the highest score tag, we are surrounded by threats. I have a feeling that the whole OR2 community is planning against us. (probably too paranoid...) Attacking someone in Monkeys as a prevention against a larger scale war is a good idea. If so I prefere we attack the strongest and not the weakest; giving us an even larger breathing space. Unfortunatly I lack a "Causis Belli" beside argueing that ratters is in Xajorkith and Icemark Quad.
Gazzage would be the best target in my opinion.

Gazzage is the brains of the outfit. They are definitely cleaning up all planets in and around their score. They are taking the remainder of Old Rusty's planets and they had set their sites on nos and Tiberius.
Gazzage is building mainly weapons factories (for income) and unit factories to make the planet untakeable.
If at all possible their attack fleets should be intercepted. Interceptions are not subject to the 60% rule and so anyone can have a shot.

Could Andre's account be used ?
If he abandones his planets and they are colonised by another LoM (temporarily for safeguarding). We can then send him the ships and ground units required to invade a planet.
Once this is successful he can abandon it and it can be colonised by another LoM.
If he gets attacked he only has fleets and ground forces to lose, both of which can be replenished by other players.

I've never done an intercept before. Do you have to catch them en route to be a legit. target, or can you launch your intercept but hit them when they've arrived at a planet?

21:27.53 <ORBot> This is a long question, so please bear with me 21:27.53 <ORBot> Marton asked : Who fires first? Do fighters need to be with a carrier to intercept?!!more!!Are fighters capable of firing at an intercept battle? Does the battle take place in the attackers quadrant or the defenders quadrant?!!more!!What happens to fighters if either side loses its carriers - are they stranded ? and if so where ? 21:27.54 <ORBot> Who fires first? Do fighters need to be with a carrier to intercept? 21:27.55 <ORBot> Are fighters capable of firing at an intercept battle? Does the battle take place in the attackers quadrant or the defenders quadrant? 21:27.56 <ORBot> What happens to fighters if either side loses its carriers - are they stranded ? and if so where ? 21:28.36 <AthenaOfDelphi> ORBot needs a little work 21:28.42 <AthenaOfDelphi> But onto the question 21:28.42 <Spirit> 21:29.29 <Spirit> yes, if the intercept is going out of quadrant they will need to be with a carrier 21:29.48 <Spirit> if not then no, they should not need one 21:30.31 <Spirit> yes fighters will join in the fight if they are there during the battle 21:30.45 <AthenaOfDelphi> In terms of who fires first... the fleets classed as defenders always fire first 21:31.03 <AthenaOfDelphi> The firing order of the ships will be governed by their strategy 21:31.57 <AthenaOfDelphi> Intercepts work like this.... 21:32.19 <AthenaOfDelphi> When specifying the orders you say intercept attackers/defenders en-route from planet A to planet B 21:32.46 <AthenaOfDelphi> The battle takes place 1 hour away from B, so if thats out of quad, as Spirit stated, you need carriers to get fighters there 21:33.05 <AthenaOfDelphi> If you are intercepting attackers, then you will be classed as defenders and you will fire first 21:33.35 <AthenaOfDelphi> If you are intercepting defenders, then you will be classed as attackers and the fleets you intercept will fire first 21:34.01 <AthenaOfDelphi> As for lost carriers, if you cannot get all your fighters back into carriers, they will do one of two things... 21:34.31 <AthenaOfDelphi> they will either goto a planet you own in that quadrant (if you do) or they will sit at planet B waiting to be rescued 21:34.49 <AthenaOfDelphi> Does that clear everything up?

So I can bypass the 60% rule and fire first as defenders?
It's a dream come true...

Just to clarify Interceptions on attacking fleets only are not subject to the 60% rule.

He said he still had interest in keeping what he has..... But Soiram's is totaly free for such and endeavour!
