Attack on Starshatter

[SkulkrinBait]

I've transferred everything in The Void to my handily placed new colony Shadows - I will then ETA 5 ticks be able to split ships into separate fleets to take advantage of the firing order exploit and launch this evening.

Do you think it would be best to delay the attack until the early hours for surprise?

Force consists of approx 4k ships, 2k Cyborgs and 800 Assault Tanks.

Just Corvettes and Destroyers?

[Perun]

Yep. And some PDSs. No ground troops.

[SkulkrinBait]

I'm sending an additional 60 Jugger class Flagships to help out, should be handy against his Destroyers, plus he's weak in anti Flagship type stuff.

[SkulkrinBait]

What time are we hitting him? Best to synchronise the timing of our strike. I propose early hours tomorrow morning, with my ground forces arriving a couple of ticks later to give the ships time to take out all opposition and the PDS too.

Currently I'm -20% production penalty so another 20% aint gonna hurt too much!

;D

[Perun]

I must wait for 3 hours for ships to arrive to Pharos, another few for trade to be finished. So, we could launch tonight and hit him early in the morning or during the night (M+5 or 6, because of flagships).

[SkulkrinBait]

We can finalise the launch time later this evening, I will be online around 10pm or so.

[Perun]

Fine by me!

All my/Robert's fleets will be ready by then.

[Perun]

OK, ships sold to Robert. ETA 3 hours.

[SkulkrinBait]

I think we should probe as many of Scotties planets as we can so he doesn't get an idea which one we are going to hit.

[Perun]

Probe-Master, if you would be so kind?

[Perun]

Attack commenced. 12 fleets. Unfortunately, Robert used 4 fleets to shuffle cargo between planets, so I was unable to use all 16 fleets. So, 4 classes have F/O 2.

No ground troops.

ETA 6-4 hours; all will arrive at the same time.

You can join as soon as you can.

Ground forces needed for invasion.

[Shendemiar]

Hey cool! Im shithot! In just minutes my score went from 600k to 3M ;D

I will base these freighter fleets at the producer-planets to get 16 free slots for the main planet, for maybe we need this arrangement again some other time?

[Perun]

OK. Since I cannot login to your account anymore, can you launch remaining four fleets in an hour, so they arrive to noir in time with other fleets? Thanks!

I used your ships as well, I hope you don't mind.
