I was attacked too, but managed to destroy the one vampire.

Is it just me, or these pesky Raiders, target only our alliance? In The Void quadrant only we were targeted. Strange.

In the Hotting up thread on the OR forums, Athena said that she was being attacked by three sets of raiders recently. Of course misinformation llike this could be all part of the ruse...

In my quadrant Cashy of ess had 2 attacks and Impo Demonicus complained about the raiders attacking him during the Germany-Portugal game. I've had one attack where I only killed 3 out of 4.

I just moved them from orbit to fleets ;D They won't destroy Vampires if not in orbit. I learned it the hard way. No, I don't think so. Here, this is what I've used. Paste it into appropriate field: 024271016251261131081151371035191044324111056224231064281181361341311161076091141351121331241201291211301171000100 My theory is this: the fleet will engage if a) it has defend planet orders b) it's stationed at its home planet Ships in orbit are treated as a fleet (they have their own battle plan) that comes under b)

I had a fleet stationed at the home planet (Ragusa) and they didn't defend it against Vampires, just PDSs were freezing them (with no result - buggers still took some stuff). In the next tick I "orbited" them and they wiped the thieves out. True, for the sake of fight with other "killing" fleets. My guess is that leeching (attack with Vampires) is treated differently than common space or orbit battle.

So it seems best to leave all ships in orbit until they are needed for an attack.

Maybe my forces were too weak to wipe them all out, but they would kill at least one ship, right?

My guess is that leeching (attack with Vampires) is treated differently than common space or orbit battle. But was your fleet's home planet actually the one that was attacked (not your home world, but fleet's home planet)? Because you can't even give a defend order to a fleet stationed at its home planet, and that wouldn't make sense unless it defends the planet automatically. OTOH, you can give defend planet order to a fleet defending your planet that isn't the fleet's home planet.

Fleet was from it's home planet, because I created it from scratch on-site.
Anyway, we now know how to defend, so this becomes purely academical, no? ;D

What's wrong with academical? On the last raider attack I had both a fleet at its home planet, and another from a different planet with orders to defend. Both fleets ships were listed under Defender in the report, so both fleets must have participated in the battle.
