Missed the first 40 odd ticks of the round and started off a bit slow. Used both fr and de attack fleets at the start but my de kept dying stealing stuff so I went fr heavy, although 60% of those cutters I only had for the last 4/5 days. Stole a small amount of emp anti-fr (which you desperately needed as a zik) but I never bothered hiding stuff in prod for cr/co incs so it wasn't really that much. Managed to scrape t100 despite having a fairly dire round planet wise. Zik's fairly shit and uninteresting compared to pre-r20 so I'd hope they do something with it for next round. Was interesting enough being in exi but we had far too many complete faggoting score whores who just ****ing moan all round long for my liking.

So how was your round then?

After an unfortnate gaffe pre-shuffle, when i forgot to update my ruler/planetname, my co-ords were known to pretty much every alliance's DB right away :\ . The good news was that i was intending to be an "amateur" scan planet for Vision this round - start initally as a normal planet and have the beginnings of a fleet, then switch to scanning whilst using that fleet to send defence. Interestingly enough, it seemed to work.

I barely ever got the opportunity to attack (combination of my 3 jobs and Uni meant that i was rarely able to be online around any landing ticks), but similiarly i wasnt attacked all that often either; the result being i (more or less) kept the roids that i started the round with. Which obviously wasnt very interesting, but *shrug*.

Had about 110-120 amps though, which was enough for scanning for #tranny

I had an 'ok' round overall. Lost about a week in the middle when my first son was born, and for obvious reasons I went into vac mode. Considering I spent the round fighting exi, playing the second worst race, and being in a marginal galaxy with no exi players in it to protect it the round was decent enough. Like most terrans who were not exi I had to go for XP rather then value, as holding onto roids was a lot of work, especially in a galaxy that rarely cross defended. Would have ended better if I'd been able to land 2 or 3 more attacks the last week, but terran DE got very hard to land with late in the round because of the tons of spiders floating around.

Round was quite boring playing zik. It took some time until i got enough co/cr/bs pods to start my usual faking. Thx to that cat landing his cr when i had my 10k marauders hidden in production, heh.
But even with sending fakes all the time i hardly landed any attack. I think finally everybody knows that i send fakes only for about 99% \o/

For next round i want some interesting stats. This stupid roidrace is no fun for me.

NO Prost! yet...... damn work

Ships, I dont know, my account got closed in havoc cause a mate logged in to his account 10 minutes before round ended from my computer.

Top5 covert, top50 cath & top100 xp.

I didnt launch a single attack, nor did i realy have any roids until last tick.
Did 3-4 coverts a day when i remembered, so somewhat happy with result.

My round started pretty well, I prioritised hypergate to prevent alliance defence, was top100 for the first 200 ticks or so. Then my attacks started getting defended way more often than I'd like them to, and I stalled.

Around tick 480 I went away for a weekend, and because my fleets weren't at home, I couldn't go into vacation mode. When I returned I'd had 10 waves of incoming, none of which had been covered, lost all my co, half my spiders and had about 80 of my 500 roids left. At this point I'd gotten tired of recalling my co anyway, so I started working on my cr fleet. This went a little better, and I started landing attacks again.

The combination of being cath, not that big, and not wanting to be online every night made it hard to hold on to roids, classic not-so-big cath problem I guess.
I never bothered to build any Scarab, knowing how much anti-cr there was and knowing how few caths chose cr fleets. Despite that obvious hole in my defence, I only got 2 cath cr fleets on me, during the last day (both were covered).

All in all, I don't think I'll ever play cath again. It's boring, slow, I hardly ever killed anything, and if I don't manage come out on top during the first 300 ticks, I'll never get up there.

Managed to steal some nice roaches at the beginning and pretty much never got hit by fr until somewhere near halfway the round. Actually I only received ~50 waves of incomings the whole round which I consider hilariously little for an eXilition planet ending in the top 30. Most of my round I had a pretty defensive fleet and wasn't focusing as much on the attack fleets like those idiot ziks with 200k fr and zero stolen fleet. I think my 1M cutlass were pretty handy for defence during the last days.

Had a fairly inactive round, with work and all i didn't really have alot of spare time to play properly. I started out 12:9, but due to being far to busy to play the first days after shuffle, i was exiled from my gal. As a result i landed in 4:10, which turned out to be a very nice and active galaxy**.

I spent quite alot of my time defending my gal and alliance, but due to my gal pushing me to grow i started to attack more actively aswell and despite not getting alot of roids grew a fairly nice planet. I was closing in on the top 100 when a week before then end a Zik decided to test my willingness to crash-defend my Bombers against his Cutters (i wasn't willing, but was unable to recall in time). I lost some 300k value in Bombers with almost no salvage due to the target planet having a large part of his fleet at base. Since i was busy the last week of the round i wasn't really able to try and recover from those losses.

I didn't land that many attacks during the round (partly due to my lazyness of not checking scans and realising at eta 4 or lower i attacked a Zik with my FR who had far to many Harpies for my liking, which happened quite a few times), and roughly half (or more) the attacks i landed was on planets totally cleaned out before i arrived or piggied. For some reason i didn't get alot of incs either (i wasn't fat but not really thin either), i was even left alone on some of the rare occassions where the entire gal got incoming.

All in all i had some fun, playing with a fairly tight but active group in xVx. We grew nice, had quite a decent average value which made covering calls alot easier than in previous rounds.

*Due to my math skills i was unable to round this number the way i like it
**Special thanks for this go to mz for exiling me from my first gal (which later turned out to be inactive)!

Started off as scanner and covert operations guy for eXilition which went reasonably well with my inactivity. I got kicked from tag on september 25th which greatly reduced my activity as I couldnt be bothered to scan without alliance funds except for XP or for the people I liked. Then october 10th I got kicked from the channel for being one of rickas group. After that i went attacking random planets for XP with the goal to end top100 in XP and top500 in score and #1 in contributed score in the LDK tag. Mission Accompliced is all I have to say about that

My XP whoring fleet:

Ships (20,589 total)
Black Widow 500 Tarantula 9,307
Roach 9,918 Mosquito 14

This also happens to be the first round I ever played where my rank graphs move upwards after tick 400

Had a fairly slow start as was on holiday for most of the first 2 weeks. Very limited connection from Cyprus hehe. Caught up very nicely in a superb gal with some great people. Started off with xan Fr, before def became so frequent. Then pt600 or so went after Fi big time. Saying that, defence fleets were my priority, and i hoarded resources till i got back from holiday. Then exiled, found the best gal i could have hoped for and then grew + grew, only being roided about 5 times all round.

However, I didn't upgrade and didn't end up messing with my planet since I got busy the day before ticks started...planet wound up being deleted for inactivity I guess

Apparently I didn't miss much this round though.

Started nicely, haven't played zik in quite a while. At first i would do CO fakes on phoenix-less terrans, those were a couple of landings that were great, then just faked FR as DE on caths attacking with their CO fleets. I also landed a few of those and gave them a nice surprise-sex session killing shitload of spiders coming in to save the day. Managed to stay in t10 total round/lost roids, but being on the wrong side of the war (again) the roid-swap was becoming annoying.
Half way through the round i got a job and changed appartments, so it's about then when i quit.
For the rest of the round i would scan xan planets with FR fleets out and fake CR as BS on them. Never landed any of those though. I'd get in at work too late and all big xan FR fleets would be returning by then.
All in all, zik isn't nearly as nice as it used to be, but compared to the other races, it does provide a tactical advantage and somewhat more fun.
FAKING FTW

You are: The definition (9:7:6) Zik (Clear)
Size: 2,103 26
Value: 5,964,498 18
Score: 6,441,018 18
XP: 7,942 773


My ships were something like:
Cutlass 130000, Corsair 300000, Thief 80000, Cutter 110000,
Buccaneer 2000, Pirate 60000, Rogue 7000, Marauder 4000
I had a few stolen ships aswell but nothing major.


All in all this was a fairly boring round for me, mainly because i had big problems landing my attack fleets due to bomber\banshee(fake?) in def, and seeing as it was impossible for me to get xp i had to pull pretty much all my attacks the last weeks.

I was a bit dissapointed i didnt manage to steal any nice ships, the only incs i got was pretty much FR. Got a few bs\co incs but they usually landed for free or pulled which sucked.

Re: Who we were

a big terran, with a fantastic fleet

edit - ok i'll add more, terran were pretty awesome this round, luckily i was one of the awesome people that realised the terran frig was absolutely immense, both in attack and defence. I started off my round with the simple fake, faking my de as bs on ziks with hardly any pirates and rogues, worked a treat. I then decided that this was boring so i decided to make a more complex attack fleet, I decided to fake my de as phoenix+chims+dems, and hit ziks. The way it worked so many times it was unreal, ziks would leave rogues home and sometimes even corsairs, just to get smashed, while my lonely 200 dems capped. Occasionally there was spider defence, but sometimes i decided to land anyway and **** some ships. It was fun As i got bigger, 'perfect' targets became harder to find, so then i decided to stick with my 2 attack fleets, real BS and fr+de at ziks. It was funny seeing a terran attack a target with 100k+ ships, one even mailed me laughing, asking if I was attacking with harpies, turns out terran fr+de was a real mother **** to stop.

As i remember my fleet it was something along the lines of:

200k Harpy
75k Phoenix
50k Chimera
54k Pegasus
15k Drake
3k Dragon
7.5k Wyvern
2k Demeter
500 Levithian

I had like 80k Phoenix and 40k Chimera hidden in production aswell.

The whole point of my fleet was to stop caths, and it was a great choice in my opinion, although I did spam harpies early on so that zik fr would get the hell off my back. I did have fun this round, but I also had alot of hassle.

Playing a successful terran is hard, i mean the whole general race is flawed if you cant get big quickly, or cant roid. Luckily that is one of my better attributes as a planet manager, whilst others probably suck in comparison. This round I didnt deserve my rank at all, I was happy with my choice to be closed. I mean terran arent an impossible race they suit me perfectly hence i am them round after round. Once you get over the initial storm.

My advice doesnt really apply to this round as i was a chicken, and will never play that way again due to it being utter wank, but i have done it in previous rounds (2:4 ftw), I was a magnet early on, but once i had a monster fleet that could outflak attackers and once i started shooting its just too painful, and you become a ****ing powerful attribute.

Cheers all for a wierd, funny, shit, painful round <3

I realized how much easier it is to play any race but cathaar this round...
its nice not having 6-9 waves of incoming every raid

Plus, I liked preying on the fat cathaars with my fighter fleet which got quite sizeable (it kinda had to to compete with 200-300k beetles).


Slow start for me, but still a good finish

180k spider, about 100k co all told, 30k scarab and 5k scorps.

switched to scanner a few weeks in, ended up with 113 amps though i had a messed up bunch of cons because of it. only really the last week that i went over 250 roids as i spent about 3 weeks doing not much else but defending. Switched to building spiders/scarab/scorps as i couldn't keep up value wise with co.

Spent the two weeks moving to uni w/o net access and got exiled into a rather nice gal (*waves to them all*) then cruised through the round, didn't attack as much as i probably could and didnt attack at all for the last 2 weeks (really could not be bothered to claim, launch, scan).

A few good lands with my FR got most of my roids, although had some success with FI (wraith defence usually put me off). My bomber were out most mornings as 2 defence fleets for ROCK/in-gal.

Overall one of my best rounds considering how little effort i put in, maybe if i had attacked those last 2 weeks i'd have made top200 score.
