Default Re: Mixed Fleets- Cloaked and Uncloaked Ships

Actually I am trying to bait my opponent and punish him rather severly for the lack of foresight in utilizing HyperOptics.

Currently in two adjancent systems I have 10 fleets of cloaked ships hovering over about 20 of his planets. He has a larger fleet in the neighboring system, and a smaller fleet of his in my system. I am trying to utilize the smaller fleet of mine to demolish his smaller fleet, then use my larger cloaked fleet to ambush his fleet when he comes into my system. I am trying to time it so that I decloak everyone on the same turn and take the 20 planets and destroy his larger fleet simealtanously turn.

If it works out that would be about 20% of his ships and 25% of his planets taken in one turn. I figure that would be enough to send his economy into turmoil and set me in a decent position for a couple of turns. It is just the longer I take to get things in the position the higher the likelihood of the fleets being discovered.

Now that I think about it I guess I will just decloak this turn and deal with his fleet later, at the very least it will be fun to hear his reaction when it is over.

Thanks for the information.
