I noticed activity on another planet a few systems away shortly after everyone got the Reaper/BC/BS rewards. A lot of people trying their hand at fleeting, and Kacote was doing it correctly, attacking from moon to planet. I just happened to decide to phalanx the planet showing activity and saw the incoming fleet.
With the arrival time, and the fleet composition, I assumed 100% flight speed but still needed Kacote's techs to figure out the return time, so I probed the moon and put it into a calculator. I had created a small DF and sent my recs off to the DF, waiting for Kacote to hit the other target, locking in the return time. As soon as I saw the DF appear nearby, I launched my fleet, arriving 3 seconds after the time I caclulated Kacote's would return to the planet. My calculations and assumptions were correct, and I successfully ninja'd the bulk of the fleet.
Good luck to defender, wishing you a fast rebuild.
