When are you planning to start? I mean, when I have to launch and for how long? Either I can attack at 06.00 tom morning. I'll leech him for 4 hours and then go. Or.. I can attack at 08.00 and send 11 freighters, invade him, steal lots and lots and then abandon the colony or give it to someone else. How do either of these suggestions fit in with you guys?

Hmmm.
I think that it would be better to hit him at night, while he's not at the keyboard and cannot make any countermeasures/strategy refining.
We launch at midnight (how appropriate). Main fleets arrive at 4 AM. Leech fleets arrive at 5 AM.
We leech him for 6 hours and return home. Even if they send any reinforcements, they won't be able to get there faster than in 2 hours (Bullets-only fleet). So even if they get up at 8, we will be leeching for 3 hours already. Another average 4 hours for troops to arrive, but we will be gone by then.
How's this sound?

I'll leech for 3 hours and be gone at 9, before any bad guys come.

We don't have to invade, getting resources should suffice. But why being so pessimistic. I'd bet that reinforcements won't arrive until 11 AM. Tomorrow is saturday.

His score is increasing rapidly, but not on the planet. I would assume that means one or more of the following: 1.He's paid for the enhanced upgrades so is able to produce things faster and in greater quantities. 2.He's got many factories going full time producing things with lots of resources available. 3.Someone is giving him stuff. Whatever the case, it'll be a challenge...

Oh, well. As soon as my remaining forces arrive, I'm launching as well. And I think that it will be at 23.58. So I can steal a tick from the prat.
