Slynky –vs- Dreico: Turn 54

Up until now, the only probing we’ve done against each other has been to see if a particular warp hole has been mined. The loss of a ship here and there. Our borders are clearly defined with me owning the bigger share of the systems. In fact, we only share one system (I have 1 planet and he has 3).

In all the little skirmishes, I had never seen a PD weapon. So, while watching him build up a small fleet in the system we share, I thought I’d expend a few fighters to see if he started mounting them on his destroyers yet. I launched 14 from the planet and attacked a fleet of 8 destroyers. Killed 3, damaged 2 others severely, and damaged 1 lightly (and lost my 14 fighters).

So, for a awhile, I can feel real safe about my borders. Unless, of course, those were just some old designs he was using as a decoy.
