When you leave your worlds so lightly defended can you really blame me for not being able to resist the temptation?
^ I'd rather lose a 5k investment due to being too easy to resist than lose a 500k investment due to looking like a challenge. I sit corrected!
Chewie, you're not intimidating enough. What's this talk of fair and unfair!? Crush your enemies. Kill their citizens while you listen to their women wail.
Its not that. I'm saying fighters are wholly ineffective when you get to higher tech numbers. I've ran through (and destroyed) my share of minefields this game. Elwood- I'm working on it. Once I have the universe mapped, I'll rain down on them.
Jacen has now learned it is unwise to colonize contiguous sectors. He's also learned you should NEVER have 6 billion credits spread across 20 worlds and only 4 bases between them. Hard lessons.
^To be fair, I think he stole most of those planets from Dan Leach. But yes, no bases is rather silly.
People I'm not overly fond of: James T. Kirk. Laying a trap in a sector by exploiting a game glitch is pretty fucking low, my friend. Just stay out of sector 3000 and we won't have a problem. I don't know why you think its 'yours', you put 1 world there after I colonized it.
Sometimes if you wanna get good coverage, just pick a row on the map and warp sector-by-sector. Buy deflectors, though, or do a one-scan first.
Yeah, I'm dead. Enjoy Sector 1017, JTKirk, you sumbitch! P.S. - Your partner was giving me intel on you!
Duh, I've known that for days, isn't exactly inconspicuous when you were attacking worlds of mine a few minutes after Chewie scanned them. No matter what happens from this point on I'm just happy I managed to take out both yours and Chewies ships. Btw, how does it feel to know your desire to make a funny point is what lost you 1017 and your ship?
It feels... Meh. Guess I don't really care. Enjoy your "fame" in this sparsely-played online game, if that's what floats yer boat, I s'pose.
I've been experimenting with various techniques in this game as well, with varying degrees of success since I know that in any traditional strategy I would get stomped. (and fully expect to lose all my planets within the next few days when a more established player gets too annoyed with me) The best way to get people in this game can often be their own over confidence.
Nah, I still have less credits than I know some people had when I first joined the game, impossible to catch up at this point.
The 2800's are noticably safer to travel, now that I've cleared out about 40 derelict minefields and restored the warp links. That place was a nightmare! Why would anyone mine that many empty sectors, except just for sheer dickery? *cough B'ETOR cough*
Its been quite a day for exploration and salvage. two of Jacen's long-lost sectors yielded over a billion colonists and almost 300 billion credits. Not a bad day's work, for an adventurous man out in the black.
Lethe has also learned the foolishness of leaving billions of credits on worlds without energy or fighters to defend them.
Is 'Jorak Akarian' still playing? Because if not, I'm attacking the planet his ship is parked on. I don't like to wipe people out that way, because it gives them no chance.
*deep space* *ok, not DEEP deep, but medium deep* "The people have been gathered, a consensus has been reached." "It will be war, then?" "Not a war, old friend, a correction. This... NAHTMMM... confounds us." "A mispronouncable name for an unimaginable intellect. He seeds worlds at random, garrisoning some sectors more greatly than our mightiest fortresses, others he lays bare, with scant colonists for resources." "Clearly his reasoning shows a depth of brilliance beyond our knowing. We must strike him down before his plans come to fruition. We will strike now." "Then it will be so." *** *Regular Space* It was a day of festival and thanksgiving throughout the galaxy. Every man, woman, and child in Jazz Drum space was content. Suddenly, without warning, the Old Ones struck. Across countless skies their dread fighters flashed, millions upon millions. Even above the strongholds of There and Your Mom, millions of brave pilots were cut down by unimaginable bolts of energy. The defenses were broken, and the people laid bare. The aftermath was as unpredictible as their attackers. Some worlds were left whole, even given resources and new purpose. On some worlds, whole populations were scooped up and evacuated to other newly-conquered territories. On still other worlds, the greatest horror was visited upon those deemed 'insufficient merit for resources'. On those worlds, the Old Ones simply stripped all their resources, energy, and equipment before detonating genesis torpedoes. A bare handful of worlds warranted not even that, with a simple genesis wave erasing the tears of grief even as it erased the mourners. The wave of agression washed over the galaxy as the Old Ones scoured out every single world, but there were two sectors upon which they broke like waves. On those worlds, preparations had been made. The massive cities hid behind wave upon wave of their bravest pilots, scores of millions prepared to take to the skies. "We cannot prevail, my friend. It is incomplete and untenable." "We must! We could get more weapons and-" "It is finished. We have brought them low, but they fought bravely. We will continue to watch him and expand, and wait for our moment should it come." "Yes, we will watch."
