    I wiped out a quartet of Matt Hunter's worlds just...because.

    Hey, it's the apocalypse. Everything's going down in a few days.

    And Bailey...if you'd like to arrange a meeting...I will be merciful and quick. :D

    Yeah, Ramen helped himself to a couple as well.

    :shrug:

    Nothing I can do about it. Joined the game way too late to get my economy to the point where I can bounce back from stuff like that. At most, I've only ever been able to put down 2.5 million mines and fighters in a single go, so whilst my defences should give anyone at around my own ATL a stiff fight, they're not gonna do much versus someone who can lay down 40 million mines in a sector having just taken it from me.

    As it stands, I just blew 6/7s of my entire IGB account on upgrades and I'm still not back to the point I was prior to hitting Ramen's mines the other day...

    Seems Ramen's ATL is 10 higher than mine, which explains how people at the top end are able to put down 10-100 times more fighters and torps than my ship can manage in a single run.

    Ah well.

    Does 45 Trillion matter to anyone these days? I could always put a bounty on someone's head if it does and make it interesting. Wish I coulda played more of the endgame with you guys :(

    It would matter to me, but unless you put it on someone with a ship less than ATL 22-23 I doubt I could claim it. :D

    Stryke, you bastard! How many systems have you left a few hundred mines in?!? I wipe those things out as a hazard to navigation! :mad:

    How... sporting... of Elwood to place a single fighter in Sector 411, thus allowing even a humble craft like my own to avoid the F**KING MASSIVE MINEFIELD by choosing to engage it in battle.

    Then there's just the small matter of being able to take on a planet with Level 40 Beams and around 100 million fighters, naturally.

    Assuming the data I got on my fifteenth scan attempt was actually accurate.

    I can't wait until the day soon when Nick logs on and finds Elwood has taken all his planets. :D

    Yeah, I tried doing the math as to how many fighters and torpedoes that amounts to, but quite frankly I don't want to know.

    Primarily because I still haven't recuperated enough to afford Level 24 components for anything other than Hull, and given that POTN and your good self just knocked over another three of my systems, I'm not likely to.

    Elwood can't even take some of my planets.

    15 billion fighters on my core world.

    Aboard the Pegasus...

    "Look around you. Remember those faces. And someday you will tell your children that you were proud...PROUD! to serve with such men and women. What we are about to do will be sung about for generations, and all shall remember Tony's name! Battle stations!"

    I have amassed my entire fortune (sans bank account) in Sector 411. I'll withdraw from it as I need it, but if you can take it, it's yours.
