Looks like se5a gets to face me. Turn 68, I conceed to Geo. Note: shift-clicking two fleets of different speeds does NOT mean they will move together.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ouch, is that what happened? I think that my fleet would have probably prevailed in the battle even against both fleets, having the first shot at the warp point. But getting them one at a time allowed me to survive in good enough shape to follow up the victory by cleaning out your system beyond.

Awesome job of doing the best you could with a bad situation Phoenix. You had me scrambling for a couple dozen turns there trying to run down all your raiders. Till I finally decided to give up chasing them and just build weapons platforms. I knew I'd lose some planets in the process, but also knew I could probably spare more then you could. Giving up chasing them allowed me to concentrate my fleets and go on the offensive.

You probably would have won, but I was expecting that (needed to free up maintence), I was just trying to inflict losses and maybe scare you. But because of the way they went through, you got a short-range shoot first TWICE, which killed.

As with the raiders..I just finally realized that sitting back and waiting for Doomsday wasn't going to help, and that I might as well go down with an empty bank account.

It's only turn 40...what's with the 30-ship fleet? Where is your gentlemanly honor? Wiping defensless colonies?

Hehe...more to come.

First contact. Wah Hoo! A knife fight. Haven't had one of these in a while. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Chance of beating Kazarp when starting in adjacent systems = 99.9%.

Haven't had one in a while??? Lucky bastard. I hate those starts. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif Want to know how many I've had? Look at my number of losses in the standings and subtract 1. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Techniclly I did but was taken by the stupid "misisle hits, does no damage" bug against planets. Of course, I just fried two of his escorts so we're about even..
