I'm getting in on it, though I'll probably get slaughtered.

Woo!

Somebody got one.

So, who blew up who?

Well, according to the log message, the Moguchiy Soyuz did it, but I didn't bother to count everybody's planets to see who got nuked

Man, I had a planet killer over a year ago, game time. the first turn I had it, it was over an allies planet, so I didnt use it. The second turn, it decided to flee (dont-get-hurt strategy)to the oposite side of the map, instead of the nice and protected corner it was in. needless to say, that nice expensive 2-year-build-time ship was blown to little tiny pieces.

I ALSO almost sucessfully captured a planet with troops, but the ship bringing my reinforcement troops to help break the stalemate was rammed and killed. Why it didnt fire ANY of the TEN feking repulsor beams with multiplex tracking, i have no idea. if the ship captain wasnt dead, id kill him.

Perhaps the ramming ship was bigger? Or it couldn't be targeted by repulsor beams? (edit: like it was really a fighter stack or something? I tried a few of those until I started using drones

)

Someone just took one of my worlds. I'm not sure who, other than 'game name'. But congradulations.

How have ground actions been going for others?

as you're well aware, they've been sucking for me. I wish I knew which troops I still had down on that planet, and how urgent it is to reinforce them. any chance of a hint (or can you tell, either?)

Even if we have someone or the other blowing up one planet every turn, I dont think thats going to decide the game. Might take a couple people out of the running, but its looking like either drones or planetary bombardment is going to be the deciding factor.
