    I have to agree with the DM comment... Since DM can be used to instant build recyclers to recover debris fields, the attackers are required to be spot on with the timing. And to have an avoidance plan in case of a DF recovery attempt by the defender. We did have all of this in our attack plan, but for some reason the ACS fleet that would slow past the defenders recyclers did not join. We have done this maneuver many times in the past and many times since to try to find out what caused the anomaly. I can only assume it was an OGame glitch.


    If things would have gone as planned this attack would have resulted in a very nice profit...



    But all it took was 3 seconds and it turned into...



    Thanks again to Famine and our unwilling participant (D36) for showing us what would happen if two of the top 15 fleets in U1 would come together. Massive destruction and a wild scramble for the resulting debris field. In the end there really was no "winner". But I think bragging rights go to the victors of the attack. :thumbup:



    Please feel free to move to Top 10 area at your convenience...

    Nice hit kar vastor... Sorry about the lost loot and DF.


    Kar vastor I am so pissed that I wasn't on to assist you with this... When I saw your message I tried to reply as soon as possible but I was already too late. It would have been nice to get some of the DF res back from the D36 hit that Famine and I did. Plus the DF from this attack. Sorry but our two hits are good examples of when a very nice hit is in reality a miss... Good work and keep your eyes out for more opportunities as I will as well.

    Dedicated to Famine and the Dynamic Alliance...


    Our story begins with a David and Goliath type match up. The defender was targeting prime targets in my immediate area taking away great sums of resources and racking up many points destroyed. I could do nothing about it since he was sending multiple waves of multi-hundred RIP fleets, in total I counted more than 1500 RIPs. I had the history of his attacks, I watched his tactics, I had LANX on his targets. I was able to get to one planet before he did and get the spoils. I saw that he had launched just after his return on his next target. I worked up the numbers, I knew his speed, I knew his timings. But I could do nothing by myself my fleet was much too small. But hey wait I belong to one of the top most alliances in U1. I wonder if anyone would want to team up and make a glorious smash? So I put the word out to see if there was any interest. I got a reply from Famine he was FS'd but would soon be back. We started to plan and discuss the options. I had 5 multi-hundred RIP fleets on LANX. Even with Famine's awesome fleet we could still only get one wave. I could find no takers on the other waves. So we continued planning and preparing for the battle to come. Since it was a battle with RIPs we had plenty of time to layout what would happen. I would set the pacer fleet and Famine would join later.


    So when the time came I launched the pacer fleet and waited for Famine's main battle fleet to join me. Oh man when I saw his battle fleet my jaw dropped... it was like David Banner turning into the HULK! When this hits the target there will be nothing much left but the ruins of a great many ships. Of course that was the plan so we were good with it... :)




    Everything worked as planned. We knew he would come for the debris field and planned for that. Unfortunately we were unable to slow the attack at the last moment and the defender was able to collect much of the debris field. Good for him (you're welcome). We were able to get a substantial part of the DF but still not enough to make this a profitable mission. But none the less it was still a very glorious battle as Famine's HULK ripped up into shreds everything in its path.


    Very much planning went into this mission and to all involved we very much appreciated your help, assistance, and consolation. Special thanks goes to 99th, Horcon, and especially Famine (HULK!!!) :)


    No need to FR the defender since he got a good share of the DF we all know he will be back all too soon... :chainsaw:
