I figured you'd be mildly entertained at the least.

I was recieving the usual message you get when a planet gets destroyed. Something along the lines of "Planet X in X system has been destroyed. We suspect the Sharks to be behind it." Not in those exact words but it was in that effect. Also on this turns that they would rid me of one of my planets I would recieve a message from them using entry one in their speech file "We are tired to bear your presence. There must be war." and then the next log entry would be notifying me of my lost planet. So to add to my Last post I was trying to figure out how in the world they were able to send these Messages to me when I had no open comm link to them. But I finally got it all straighten out and all is good now.

But I am going on the basis of that they did indeed slip in and out of the system to hide in a nebula. What speed do their planet destroyers have? Probably 12 I would assume, correct?

But no, I didn't get their design when I blew them to kingdom come. But oh well, all is good and I am doing farely well. I played alot more turns Last night and finally got my Ringworld. I am converting atmospheres like crazy right now and getting mucho facility slots. Now if I could do something about the major resource shortage I'm going through. I have almost fixed that problem and will be building my fleet shortly.

What a great game this is! [/quote]

Thanks Rags. Yes, I would assume 12 for the planet destroyer. IIRC, in simultaneous games the AI can move and use a component in the same turn pretty seamlessly. Perhaps that is what happened.
Go get 'em...

Ruthless.

Well, that is downright evil. Does that mean it's back to the drawing board?

Not yet. Although I'll admit this map puts colonizable systems at a premium (especially after having 2 wiped clean by blackholes. I suppose ring/sphereworlds + planet creators are an option, albeit expensive.

At least I still have my homesystem (built a grav shield facility in time there).

Why don't the Sharks use the Talisman? I thought they had all racial techs too.

That's funny... I guess you haven't encountered the Thresher or GreatWhite class ships. If not, you will eventually...

Oh dear.

And here I thought you were just being merciful.

I'm not going to read this thread, but I had to post somewhere that I'm pissed...

Turn 2413.7 Update

Prevoiusly, a SpaceSharks Star Destroyer took out the Asellus Tertius System while we only lost a small fleet that was protecting the captured Space Sharks planet.

My 200 ship fleet took out the Regulan system loosing only about 30 ships. Captured 1 planet, which was then quickly destroyed by the SpaceSharks while my fleet took out the rest of the planets.

Our 178 ship fleet warped thru into the Terradome system expecting victory after a hard fight and after 1 turn lost 85% of our Fleet.

Now I have to rebuild my fleet.
And I still don't know how I'm going to get into their Home System, but not going to try that warp point again.
I wonder if that Star can be blown?

Nice update! That's what this thread is for... to vent if not anything else.

Interesting comments at the end of your post... I wonder how that will turn out?

The SpaceSharks scoff at your plans to take Terradome. Heh heh heh...
