Tesco and I are having an interesting time. We started near each other. I sent some brief exploratory probes into his home system (brief because they were killed
), then settled down to some serious gaming. A fleet of eight frigates entered his system and managed to blockade his homeworld, with only one death (stupid strategy errors let his colony ship ram two of my ships)
. Next month I destroyed his four weapplats, but it cost me three more ships and two heavily damaged. HW still blockaded, reinforcements on the way.
I was pretty sure I was going to lose when I entered his home system so quickly and saw three BSYs around his HW, when I was just wrapping up my first one. I was even more freaked out when I replayed combat and saw his missile boats set to "Kamikaze" strategy.
Now, I'm not sure who'll win. I'm in first place, but he's colonized three other planets in his system, and probably more elsewhere. Glassing his HW will be satisfying, but probably not a game-breaker for him.
Impatiently waiting for the next turn to show up...
