Re: All Time favorite SE moment
I was surprised when Gecko showed up in an asteroid system (next to a system producing a lot of resources) with a fleet of 30 ships (mostly LCs). I just knew I was doomed so I thought the only thing I could do (since I had been have some success with fighters against him) was to move all my fighters to guard the hole and hopefully slow the fleet down while I put all the planets on emergency build. When he came through the hole to my system, he met about 60 small fighters. Gecko had taken Organic race and had lowered his aggression considrably since he planned on using missiles and ramming against me. When the dust settled, I had about 20 fighters left as his ships mounted a lot of missiles and armor (and only a few direct fire weapons which had a miserable time hitting). Oh, and NO PD.
Now, THAT felt good!
