Re: Devnull AAR
2406.2 - encountered drushocka. judging from the warppoint they came in through, they may be warring (or allied) with the praetorian. I'm not worried about them yet, the warppoint is defended fairly well with sats and fighters. Next turn, I should start invading the Xi'Chung. I need more worlds to expand my research faster.
2406.3 - move into Xi'Chung system through warppoint at (4,0). Their defense consists of a bunch of missile sats. Lost a couple carriers and a sattelite transport, plus 1 carrier damaged. I still have a large enough force to contain the system. Leave some fighters and the damaged carrier to guard that warppoint (I have a repair ship en route), move the rest of the fleet to cut off the other warppoint at (12,4).
The system has 8 colonized planets, but 6 of them are tiny moons. There is a small moon and one large planet. There is only one frigate in the system, so as long as too many reinforcements don't show up before I cut off hte other warppoint (nebula system on the other side), I should be ok. I plan to glass all the planets and recolonize.
2406.4 - A second Xi'Chung system entered the system before I got to the warppoint. Glassed 2 out of 3 tiny moons in a sector with minor damage. Ran out of time to finish off the third moon in that sector.
2406.5 - Destroyed one of the frigates in the system. The other wants to escape but is blocked by my wp defenses. Sent fighters to glass a tiny planet, which succeeded. Then sent my fleet to a sector with 2 tiny moons, but here I make a mistake. The moons have some fighters, but I'm out of them in the carriers in my fleet! So I wind up having to ram the enemy fighters. No losses, but heavy damage. At this point I don't even bother attacking the planets, the fighters did too much damage.
Meanwhile I warp another carrier with a full load of fighters in as backup. I'll have some more on the way.
In another note, the toltayan warps a carrier sized ship with a talisman(!) through. My warp point defenses handle it with no trouble, but I'm worried about how far along they are in technology. I think I will need to build up my blockades.
2406.6 - Expend some fighters in destroying the last tiny moon in the first sector I attacked. Sent empty carriers back into my system to pick up fighters. Xi'Chung frigate has moved towards large planet, perhaps to defend or resupply.
2406.7 - Drushocka send some drones through, which destroy some of my fighters as they are tough for me to hit. Xi'Chung test some of my other systems with single ships but are dealt with easily. They also sent an intel attack my way but I've built up a large reserve.
Carriers, laden with fighters, are returning to the system I'm invading. For this turn I wait for them to reach the rest of my fleet.
I am getting close to having enough ships gathered for a second large fleet to attack the Xi'Chung in another sector.
2406.8 - Destroyed the colonies on the remaining two tiny moons (where I screwed up before). Set ships on course for Xi'Chung large planet and its moon. I have a couple repair ships in the system to catch up with the damaged fleet.
