After the hit on Mal most of the universe has slowed down and has not been as active. Bocas and the cleanest ally have been active and I will give them props taking down moons and competing with the cleaners while being much smaller. I turned my attention to them over the Christmas break. Watched their habits and also tested a few things out. They are very good at having constant activity. I could see when it was real and when it was not but this is still tough and would have taken a lot longer to find a gap or mistake. After Christmas I had a very busy work schedule through the new year and I did not have time to hunt. I decided to pull this trick out of the bag. I just did long fleet saves from the moon right near Bocas and his boys. It had most of my fleet invisible on deploy and then recalled and a part of it visible on colony mission. I simmed them vs the bait fleet so it was just too big for only roper and Bocas and I was hoping they would get Noname out of vmode. All it would take was for them to blow the moon. I started this about
Well last night Malicious decided to come out on surprise and harass me. Artemis destroyed my moon and then they organized this. I did not think kissy or malicious would be involved.
I had someone watching on lanx and also a few fleets that were closer than any big vmode fleets but not too close to spark fear. Most of the bigger dogs were cross galaxy or 100+ systems. If they did form a big attack I would have been forced to squash it and have my friends defend resulting in everyone recalling.
GL on the rebuilds or real life. I do hope to see you in the future. Defenders were all great sports after and we had a respectable convo which is rare these days.
cheers
