Day-launchin alliances
I thought I´d write a little something about a thing that has been bothering me quite a lot lately. As I see it, one of the two ways to attack someone without getting totally covered in defence is to attack when everyone in his/her full sense should be asleep. Now I´m not saying there are many people like that playing PA. But I tend to need my few hours of sleep. Now I know I will most likely never be a top player with that attitude, but I like the game and play for the fun of it.
The other way would be to attack so hard the target couldn´t possibly get enough defence. And the best way to do that would be together with your alliance. However most alliances know what we all know: the later the launch time, the less defence there will be. Therefore the alliances I know of tend to combine the two ways of attacking. They launch at times that are in the middle of the night were i live (CEST) and cover the entire target gal. But that won´t give me my sleep neither.
The dream would of course be if launch times didn´t matter. If attacks were made during the day (my day that is of course) and the winner was the side with the smartest defenders, attacks and counter-attacks. But thats just my dream-scenario.
So what I am wondering is this: is there any alliance out there that launches attacks or would be interested in launching attacks around 06:00-20:00 gmt? If there is, please let me join!

totally agree, 1255CET LT is now my favourite, today proved to be another successful 1255CET raid for me capping nicely, with no defence, a counter attack being defended easily, then the counter attackers being consequently launched upon.

Its a random round, there really arent bad launch times atm. IT wont matter until the only planets with roids left are good alliance players or a war breaks out. Atm your still hitting targets with little to no alliance help. They can be roided whenever.

Well you can launch any time of day lately, and most alliance run a few attacks during the day... Dunno about all ofcourse.. Still it's a fact that there are less chances of getting defence in the middle of the night.. Often not because it isn't availble, but the player just notice the incoming to late..
I think you just should talk with some HC of alliances, and you will see that attacking between 6:00 and 22:00 is NO problem,

Every fleet that's attacked me so far has been ungodly hour of the morning (5am) launches. Early morning launches and possibly lunch time ones might catch people out. To be perfectly honest the best alliances will have defence regardless of what time you launch at now. The times don't really seem to matter too much anymore (however I did hear last round a lot of WE players didn't bother staying online as much as their counterparts which goes to show activity still does wonders for your effective strength).
Regards the gibberish I deleted if you've got nothing constructive/useful to say you're not welcome here.

Once this round turns to the top alliances battling each other for control and roids, attack times will start to matter again. But as long as attacks are fairly random and no one alliance is being taxed too heavily def is around the clock for alliance players and lack of defense for non/bad alliance players is also around the clock atm, it doesnt matter when you hit the guy with no alliance, he still cant get defence.
