Default Re: Invulnerable Challenge - Warning... Spoilers!

Spoilers....

The Sharks are no more in Terradome in 2418.8.

I must have been much more lucky than others with the storms as I lost little to them - perhaps putting organic armour on my Baseships helped after I saw the storms in Regulan.

After seeing the score differential at the begining I decided on an ecnomic expansion first, hunting party second approach.

I had a hell time early fighting off a Shark attack. I colonised Tania Borealis straight off and then lost all of the planets. They nearly got through to the homesystem but I had luckily built a warp collapser earlier and saved myself. I then set about creating and collpasing all over my half of the galaxy to secure it. I ended up having only Sigma Three with a warp hole out, I built strong defences there and held off a lot of shark attacks until I had developed the systems behind and built up the war fleet.

I had a couple of scary moments when I killed several star killers that were roaming around my side of the galaxy - that was one hell of a shock to see that - and just lucky I had a ship at the warp hole!

Then it was a case of find em and splat em.

I went for organic weapons to increase the build speed of the baseships, not ideal weapons but they did allow quick building.

Thanks Stone Mill!!
This was good fun and a sanity saver with PBW down!

I would love to see more of these games set up. Perhaps there is space at the PBW server to keep these games available to the community so people can play them when ever they feel the need?
