To be honest, I doubt I'll be bothered to play too much tomorrow, so I may only log on to update the Mafia, and then leave again.

(We probably should do something in the next game to make the builder strategy more viable-- or at least to make the "early rush" strategy Smiley's using not total cheese. One possibility: Non-captured bases provide +1 to each of laser, fighter, and torpedo when defending.)

Jamski, a question. What if I send an attacking fleet, but someone sabotages my attack? Does my fleet count as defensive then or not?

Yes, it counts as defensive, LJ.

I have orders from those that claim to have sent them... but DrSpike's need a bit more info

I was too annoyed at my death to read it all. Biatches. On stzicks.

Vlad - I was thinking it was quite balanced. Smilie's captured bases make him as strong as those who now have 6 built bases - however he has made himself target number 1. Defeat Smiley to capture TWELVE bases!!!

	Battle of Deep Space 12, a different perspective Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

It was a busy morning in Star Fleet Command as long range predictor-corrector sub space scanners started picking up something that could only represent an attacking fleet.

Red alert was ordered.

“We have been preparing for something like this from the moment we entered Star Fleet Academy, but we have always hoped this would never happen” lamented Admiral Ross as he addressed the commanders of the finest starships in the entire Star Fleet, captain Benjamin Sisko, commander of Deep Space 9 space station and at the same time in command of the most lethal torpedo battleship in the galaxy, the Defiant, captain Jean Luc Picard, commander of the carrier battleship Enterprise, the pride of Star Fleet and captain Spock, commander of the other carrier battleship in the fleet, battleship Die Donau.
“Long range scanners have confirmed our fears. It’s the attack of the Dominion led by their mindless minion General Ludd. They have amassed numerous ships, but the combined force of all our starships in the sector should be enough to repulse their unprovoked attack”, continued Admiral Ross.
“Due to the extreme importance of the forthcoming battle, the fleet will be commanded by Admiral James T. Kirk who will also assume the command of our fleet’s flagship the laser dreadnaught Amazon. Good luck to you all. The future of Star Fleet and our cause depends on your success today.”

Admiral Kirk’s fleet was approaching the estimated place of engagement, the space station Deep Space 12 at warp 8, the highest speed available to all ships. He knew the Dominion had committed almost all of their resources to the destruction of the Federation and her Star Fleet, so he had to risk even damage to Deep Space 12, possibly even its destruction, in order to avoid splitting his main force. When Kirk’s fleet dropped out of warp, their short range scanners determined that General Ludd’s fleet was indeed numerous and that it has already engaged thin defences of Deep Space 12 whose hull was already breached in several places and whose shields were failing. In order to drag attention from the endangered space station, Admiral Kirk formed a laser task force and rushed towards Ludd’s fleet taking by surprise one of his battleships and destroying it completely in a coordinated flash of laser beams from laser dreadnaught Amazon and two laser battleships Volga and Minsk.
This thrust into the heart of the enemy fleet may have saved Deep Space 12 from destruction, but it certainly doomed the battleships Volga and Minsk as they were easy pray for Ludd’s fighters. Kirk’s flagship managed to evade Ludd’s fighters somehow and furious Ludd, who was personally commanding the invading fleet, ordered the fighters to pursue the runaway dreadnaught. This was not the wisest move as behind the nearby moon the bulk of Kirk’s fleet was waiting and they destroyed all of Ludd’s fighters and then directed their own swarms of fighters on Ludd’s fleet. The mayhem that ensued saw all Ludd’s ships destroyed and the only survivor was the ship on which Ludd himself was. Before escaping, this ship struck a lethal blow to the exposed torpedo battleship Rio Grande, which managed to damage Ludd’s ship in turn, but not fatally.

“This was a great victory, but we paid our freedom dearly”, said Admiral Ross. “The entire crews of battleships Rio Grande, Volga and Minsk perished. Fifteen thousand men in total lost their lives on our side. But I have the news that should cheer you up a little bit. Know that the Dominion and their ruthless minion General Ludd will never bother us again. Smiley’s fleet made sure no Dominion base exist any more in this quadrant. General Ludd was captured and interrogated personally by Smiley. The hand of Justice is sometimes slow, but can sometimes work real fast.”
“I’m also proud to announce that Admiral Kirk will be decorated with the Medal of Valour of the first grade in honour of his bravery in battle.”

Hmmm when I was preparing my orders yesterday at 8AM, I checked page 1 to see if I could build base 6. It said 5 at that time and I've noticed that you have editted your post at 10AM, I'm pretty sure that my orders would have differed, but nevertheless, the game continues. Damn....have to post this so I can go back a page to put in my orders resulting in a +1 for a non-spammer like myself.....disgraceful.

	Round 3 Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Round 3

Smiley's vast fleets stood ready to strike across the galaxy, but multiple spies seemed to have infilterated Smiley's chain of command. Faced with so many conflicting orders, assassinated commanders and missing supplies of ammunition and fuel, the great fleets could only orbit theit home bases and wait for the confusion to be sorted out.

The other Overlords took advantage of the lull in the fighting to expand their fleets and to build more bases. An uneasy truce held across the sector.

Duke again asked his engineers to build Titans, and this time his engineers were able to please him.

Its set to justify across your screen width. Tell me what resolution screen you have, and I'll make a version that's x pixels across instead.
