BTW, that fleet (that could hardly hit you) was trained to the max (except for a few posibble ships...but the ECM problem has been rectified).

Re: Slynky v Joachim Ratings bash
 

Hehe, funny place to be chatting about our game. What the heck, right?

If you aren't just a brute, I suspect I will see a hole opening soon. It can't just be me.

I'd like to see 4th place in the tourney but I won't feel bad losing to you at all. You've played a very good game!

Catch your return turn in the morning. Off to bed for me.

Re: Slynky v Joachim Ratings bash
 

Hehe, I see...

If the info in the thread has changed, just change the subject line http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Seriously, though...do you plan on attacking again with that big fleet of battleships http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ?

My fleet and ships were also fully trained, I am warrior and you are worker so there is a small difference there...

For the general audience, we are on turn 77, Slynky has 60% of the galaxy (balance mod as well - so all good systems). I have all colony techs but Slynky seems to only have the one (unless he is not colonising on the edge systems??) While I am using BBs, most of his ships are LCs - though I see a BC there now!

Slynky scared the proverbial out of me by opening warp points and sending through fleets, he has flamed one and a half systems - my ships keep chasing. Of course when he did open the warp point I realised where the research points had gone!! And did a bit of an oops, thats right stellar tech, better think about researching that one. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/blush.gif
The fight mentioned above was me trying to get his attention by slamming through a warp hole. Bit of a hail Mary attack that I expected to get slaughtered but on the contrary...

Re: Slynky v Joachim Ratings bash
 

See Slynky, you are gambling as well to make a quick run for Warp Openers. I am not the only wildcard here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif (Well, it also depends on how early you gained it, and with how many research points behind you)

Now, we shall see if that tactics works fine when properly used.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I would nominate Yabby V for the "Biggest Payoff From Patient Hiding" in any game I've played in. Good gamble and great payoff!

Anyone who plays routinely with me knows I'm big on UPCs...a priority somewhere around Sensor/ECM 2s...so they are everywhere. And when you broke through the hole, I started building various defenses on all planets in the vicinity.

Yeah, I realized the difference between our races in warfare but missing about half my shots when beside the target http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif , I was a bit shocked! And I won't even discuss firing from a distance.

And around 100 shots from sats resulted in about 10 hits or so. Ugh!

I suppose, since 1st through 3rd in the tourney has been decided, there isn't much interest in our game...'cept for us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif .

Re: Slynky v Joachim Ratings bash
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Might be too little too late. He has a fleet of 25 ships, most battleships, in a critical spot. With all the whacking he has done to my ships, some of those boys must be around 30% ship trained by now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif . And with the quirks of the game, who can tell about how the fleet looks.

But, as I said, very exciting game on a map that Joachim said was a bit boring because of the Balance Mod. I suspect he finds it a bit more interesting now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif .

Re: Slynky v Joachim Ratings bash
 

My god(s), what a corker of a game!!!

I have just pasted Slynkys planet with three warp points on it, one of the three raider fleets (damn warp openers) just flew past my homeworld and left it alone http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif . Lucky for me as the cavalry, two fleets, were both two squares away from the Homeworld.

The Hero of Silesia Medal goes to every sailor aboard Yabby V 003 for a daring and potentially Empire saving attack. They bravely flew out of their hiding hole in an ion storm and attacked a lone enemy light cruiser, suspected of being an accursed warp opener. In blatant disregard for the 60 other enemy ships in the system they destroyed one of the greatest threats to the Empire. Three cheers to the crew of Yabby V 003... Hurrah, Hurrah, HURRAH!

And I note that you do have ice col as well now.

I think this might be one of those games of who can cause enough riots first! So Slynky do you have UPCs and troops as well????
