I hit 208:11 in less than 15 minutes! He's got 270 light lasers, hopefully my fleet (243 ships) will survive.

142 Probes
51 Light Fighters
20 Heavy Fighters
6 Cruisers
7 Battleships
20 Small Cargo ships
7 Large Cargo ships

   

Well, he has 4 large cargo ships and 4 battleships. That fleet can carry a lot of booty from a raid.

   

how'd it go boot?

   

Just incase you guys didn't know, you can simulate the battle before hand to make sure you aren't just committing suicide with your fleet, and to make sure the attack is actually profitable.

Use this app: Speedsim Online (ok I'm not allowed to post links yet since I'm new, so just google Speedsim Online and it should be the first result)

Enter in your fleet and his defense/fleet, and put in the Weapons, Shielding and Armour Technologies of both you and the targets (you should get these through espionage). Then simulate and it'll tell you the likely outcome.

Good luck.

   

I got mixed results from SpeedSim.

The first time I used it, it said I won the battle. I tried it again 5 minutes before the battle and it said I would have lost after 5 rounds. I think I forgot to add his tech levels in the first time.

So I chickened out and recalled my fleet.

I would only have destroyed 80 light lasers and 10 rocket launchers and I would have left a debris field of over 700,000 metal and 300,000 crystal. For some reason I also kept getting error messages when I tried to send my recyclers to clean up after the battle. I'm going to hit his colony again this afternoon, as my ships can do the trip in an hour.

   

Nice Bootlegga

   

My second attack is going into 208:13 in 45 minutes.

   

Why send dozens of probes to a target ? one is enough no ?

   

more probes mean more chance of getting more information, but also more chance of being discovered.

   

I also send dozens of probes when I attack because they are dirt cheap and get hit instead of fighters/battleships etc.

   

Comma (208:11) is interested in a ceasefire. Do we want to accept it or should we keep attacking?

   

A hostile fleet from G Ninja write message from planet Wackyconical [1:93:6] is approaching planet Alicecoopers [1:92:5]. Its mission is: Attack.



help!!!!

more than 500 ships

   

Wow, wish I could help. I don;t even have a cruser yet.

But you have my moral support. Sorry dude.

   

you are screwed! did you have a large build up of resources or a large fleet sitting at home? You have to make yourself a non-target.

Nothing you can do but send the attacker a message begging him to recall. Then spend all the resources you can and send all your ships away so they don't get destroyed as well.

   

that's what I did.

I sent all my fleet and my ressources to another planet.
