It has come to my attention that between playing that other game we dont mention and cs, that i can still have fun in pa.

I have been logging in very rarely checking the uni and logging out again, until i decided to build some Nasicus and start attacking people for kills and not any roids/rank/score. During this i realised how much fun i was Having and decided to stockpile my puny planet for a week. a week passed and i had approx 800 nasicus waiting for a lovely planet, and away they went on there suicidal mission on a top 100 planet/10 gal, to discover they were sucessful and killing 14k Elaphe/1.5k Vips for the loss of 266 Nasicus.

I am now launching Operation Nasicus were the universe will feel the power of teh puny planets and we will attack you boring fat bastards until you cry for mercy :/

If you want to join my operation give me a PM on netgamers u can find me with the nick Ice

Heh. Damn Nasicus.

I often attack Xans now (lots of roids, as most people are scared to hit if they can't calc nowadays...). I built up a relatively large amount of Scythes, and went hunting every night. Usually my Scythes would rip them apart, or they'd run away. I did run into one guy though, who must have had 70-80% of his fleet as Nasicus, for his size. Check out the breport. Those are my Scythes that died :P

Should of gotten some vanguards to go with you =p

Nadar · 5 May 2004, 06:11

Tomkat you see that there's 3 defending fleets right?

As I have noticed, each one of your own fleets counts as 1 fleet. So if you have ships in each fleet slot, that would equal 3 fleets.

. Don't quote me on this though, but from what I have seen, that's the way it works.

Neferti · 5 May 2004, 08:12

not entirely true waffle. each fleet home counts as a defense fleet. including your base fleet. so you can have up to 4 defending fleets without anybody actually defending you.

so if the target had 3 defending fleets, between 1 and 3 of those could be his own fleets. even empty fleets still count.

General Martok · 5 May 2004, 08:52

I had actually the same early in round, lost about all my scythe on some turd with 200 nacicus for 75 roids :/

Blazde · 5 May 2004, 09:32

So what you're saying is those people that don't attack xans if they can't calc aren't scared, they're just smart

mens · 5 May 2004, 09:38

well, Ice.......that planet you attacked must've been drunk.

[23:01:22 ] <@XXXX> i have nothing at home

General Martok · 5 May 2004, 13:47

Bladze most of my runs against xandathrii's were successfull

Only that one failed.. (of the targets where no def was ofcourse).

Not at all.
That's the first time I've had any significant losses against a Xan.

In total, the amount of roids I've taken off them is worth the amount I have lost in total.

I'm sorry if people won't play a game unless they know the exact outcome by using a battlecalc. If you know exactly what will happen, half the excitement is taken away on those 2 minutes before landing.

Saves on clean underwear though :/

Blazde · 5 May 2004, 15:09

Doesn't matter how many times you're succesful, you only have to lose your fleet once to have err... no fleet

But it's true, I guess I am one of those people that likes to know the outcome of a battle to the ship, before I go into it.

Phil^ · 5 May 2004, 17:50

in my experiance as a xan , because people cant calc - it usually ends up they send overkill just to be sure of winning.
could just be that 1:1 factor too tho

Nadar · 5 May 2004, 17:55

Overkill is fun

Desse · 6 May 2004, 10:54

Seems a bit of an overkill on the defending side.

Did any attackers recall before landing ?

You really suprised me too when you started making nasicus and i didnt send gladius that time

mens · 6 May 2004, 21:37

hehe I hope that mail in your sig was meant as a joke

but you never know with these pa team peeps...

Phil^ · 6 May 2004, 21:40

it was sent in jest yes, but it was sent

he was attacking me loads before then too. if i had to make a guess at the number of times, it`d be around 5-7, and thats not counting all the others on 1:1 from him

mjrTorspo · 7 May 2004, 00:48

Spinner: 3 times, karmulian: 2 times, Phil^(my personal farm) 4-5 times this round

and one of those didnt go so well and lost half my scythes against 256 nasicus

*correction: Phil^: 5-6 times if counting that pure-stiletto fleet too

*correction2: +2 if counting those waved attacks i did with Guran

Phil^ · 7 May 2004, 09:39

i know :'( evil evil evil

Phil^ · 7 May 2004, 09:41

ofc watching that one combat report was probably worth it

but seeing 900 gladius in the next wave was slightly disheartening. and then ofc theres the time i forgot that captured elaphe and eryx dont get along well...

evil scythes :/ 900ish eryx went down in flames that day

mjrTorspo · 7 May 2004, 17:23

btw: me and guran are visiting you again soonish, good targets are hard to find

Phil^ · 8 May 2004, 01:16

lol . leave my poor poor planet alone! :'(

mjrTorspo · 8 May 2004, 01:50

Now you did it.. "...i have to run fleets. attack again..." <-- didnt you mean what you said there, between the lines?

nasty breps :eek: or should we call it Kill Phil^ Volume2 ?

Phil^ · 8 May 2004, 18:14

yes it means i need to build factories first :P
in havoc, be afraid . be very afraid

mjrTorspo · 8 May 2004, 23:08

And tell me, Mr. Anderson, what good is a load of havoc resources if you are unable to build?

damnit for not having a covop to delay constructions... but maybe the havoc covop will be good enough used just seconds after start of each tick

There is going to be a havoc?

A2 · 9 May 2004, 00:06

Yes, but what form it will take is as yet unclear
/me rubs crystal ball

Phil^ · 9 May 2004, 01:20

and maybe i have immunity to covert ops :P

My contribution to Operation Nasicus :
161 right now, with 514 in production

mjrTorspo · 9 May 2004, 02:15

would you mind telling what PT did you order those 514?

(evil thoughts...)

Phil^ · 9 May 2004, 03:42

long enough ago to ensure i can run them if you come :P

Production continues even if you got no factories left I noticed.... BAD Irvine and Recluse

Neferti · 9 May 2004, 11:35

i love nasicus, they never cause a problem for me when i'm attacking and they're great for defense

Yes it does, but what if you order 500 nasicus PT100 with 10hour production time, and at PT110 1000 Vesuvius + 10000 Morelia land on your planet?
