After the perceived disaster against Himack, maybe we should change our plans and go on the defensive?
We seem to be behind in terms of technology, perhaps if we react to incoming attacks by massing forces together at any of our planets which are teargetted we can do better until we catch up in terms of technology?
Ideas?

Fighting against creators is plain impossible. Look at Himack - he was around 260k yesterday morning, now he's 700k. I mean, with all his upgrade codes, I find it impossible to jump almost 500k in 24 hours. Something is wrong here.
And RSR and creators seem to be allied, so how many REAL players are here anyway? Just us?
Btw, I'm beginning to understand why there are so few players here...

I agree about Himack - he has shot up in score - the "blow" we struck him earlier in the week seems to have made no difference. In fact like some bizarre comic book baddie, the more you hurt him the stronger he becomes!

My only though is perhaps he'd stockpiled Kalamite and then spent it to buy a load of new ships. Possible?

It is possible, for example I'm pulling in 80 crystals per tick at the moment. Athena and Spirit seem decent enough, so I'm not sure that the Creators would "cheat". How long had the season been running before we started? We've been going for about 5 weeks I think and look what we've got. Of course, these guys will have knowledge of how the fleet orders can be best used I suppose, and its up to us to learn how to match them. I hope that everything is above board or else it would be a real let down. (This is me trying to put a brave face on a night of utter disaster! Two thirds of my fleets gone in three hours. Now I know how politicians feel on election night!) ;D

I think we joined 1-2 weeks after the game started, so we are behind but not irrevocably so I feel.
I doubt they'd cheat, sure they'll do their utmost against us as we outnumber them handily, it would be stupid for them to cheat as they are trying to get the game more well-known and famous, not infamous!
It would be dull without the "Creators", I think we'd just steamroller everyone else!

Let's be positive, build up our defenses and fleets, work on co-ordination and our knowledge of fleet orders...and then get stuck in!

I seem to have missed a lot of action. I have a considerable fleet of corvettes and frigates and I'm about to start building destroyers. Let me know if you want me to move my fleet elsewhere.

Probably best to look after your home planets at the moment. FYI Matija, we took a bit of a beating from Himack - myself in particular! So we're rebuilding and making sure that our planets are heavily defended should there be a counterattack. Disruptor turrets/guns (PDS) seem a good idea as they freeze enemy ships.

How about this:
Assuming we suspect action in one quadrant, everyone who isn't in that quadrant sends a decent fleet (as much as they can spare really) to a friendly planet in that quad. That way we've got a good number of ships ready at short notice, one of the big problems we had was that it took 9 hours for my fleet to hit Hallow as it had to go from another quadrant, giving the enemy plenty of warning.
Do we need to leave passwords on here as with IK so people can login and move fleets for those who aren't online very much?

Ugh. Another very long day at work. Missed a lot. Leeching appears to have stopped, thanks for everyone's help on that. Do I need to send anything anywhere to help anyone? I can't really tell which thread to respond to, to be honest.

Gar, what was the fleet description (the one that leeched you)? I've got one [:??:?:??] Unknown incoming with just 2 ships.

Nope, thanks. Around 800 surprises await them! ;D Some 600 borrowed, the rest mine.
