Fellow Midnighteers, Following the recent punishment handed out to Himack for infringing Marshall Perun's galactic liberty, it has come to pass that a counter-strike upon Himack is in the offing. Therefore let all who can, assemble fleets in preparation.
Ideally the attacks should occur from approx 03.00 (Saturday morning) onwards, with a "wave" approach being taken, so that attacks will last for a few hours, including regular reinforcements.
The target planet is Hallow 001:01:3:27
Ships can also be stationed at Perun's planet Cibalae 001:01:3:13 in readiness for the attack (eta to Hallow 4 hours)
Therefore, please post your anticipated fleet strength and the estimated time of attack here.
Once this information is gathered, further plans will be made.

I only have 28 ships capable of leaving my quadrant (Corvettes) but they are available for the cause. Maybe I might be able to have some more until later tonight.

Once my carrier arrives, I'll send it with these (can't give an ETA yet)
Python Class Corvette (TR-FI-CO) 6 Adder Class Fighter (FR-CO-RE) 10 Viper Class Fighter (FI-CA-CO) 10 Bullet Class Fighter (FI-TR-RE) 200 Venom Class Fighter (FI-FR-CO) 10 Spirit Class Fighter (Cloaked-EMP-FI-CO-FR) 5 Shadow Class Fighter (Cloaked-SS-CR-CA) 20 Dragon Class Fighter (FL-BA-PD) 10
I've also got these at Cibalae:
Hawk Class Frigate 2
I did have some Corvettes too but pleasureploeed it up again! I wanted to see the ETA to the enemy planet so I ordered them to "go to" thinking I could get the time and then cancel before the next tick, but oh no!
You can't "cancel" an order, so I've had to recall them to my home planet, ETA 9 hours, d**n. Hope this doesn't lose us the element of surprise!
Do we have recent probe reports? I think we should send probes just before we launch or the first wave hits to make sure we've got the firepower we need, Perun is right about wanting 5-1 or better odds.
Re the above, I could send a few more if you think we need it, I didn't want to leave my home planets too weak though, but if needs must!

Just a query.
Notice how both Perun and Himacks scores dropped a lot after their battle, obviously due to lost ships.
Now Himack has recovered a lot of his score quickly but Perun hasn't - how come? Has Himack stockpiled loads of Kalamite and is now buying more ships?
Is this a trap?
Can we probe all enemy planets in the quadrant of the target planet please just in case any nasty surprises are nearby.

I agree that full scouting needs to take place before any attack.

Ok, my new fleet Akagi is ready
It's 9 hours to both Cibalae and Hallow so I'll launch directly from my home planet - just give me a time to launch. I can recall of course if we find out it is a trap.
Do you want me to send Cyborgs etc?

One more thing, about the waves of attack.
If we do this (not a bad idea I think) we need to make sure the first wave is big enough to have good odds in it's favour so it isn't going to have any chance of being wiped out. If it gets wiped out then there's no point in having waves.
I suppose you knew that though!

His score is increasing rapidly, but not on the planet. He's gone home to regroup methinks. This leaves a tempting target if those silica reserves are still there. Perhaps we don't need such a heavy force...?

Given that Hallow is like an open bank vault, I suggest that we all leech it dry, sending a modestly strong fleet as escort. If there are no objections, we'll still try and launch these attacks through the night. Keep posting your fleet strengths and ETA's in this thread, pleae guys.
