After coming close so many times to destroy eshkiya, and missing out, he's becoming quite the opposite now. I launched asap and hit him. Turco had the same idea, he knew what was up and was in that system, but was unable to help. GLOTR Turkey, let's do this again sometimes. Like, tomorrow...
Had a feeling he'd be careless after that first hit few nights ago, so i was watching him closely but unsuccessfully, until dragon-fly tipped me off his fleet's arrival.
He did send recyclers immediately after the hit, but i was able to force him to recall by sending the rest of my fleet towards his moon.
The plan was to slow down the attack and time it correctly after he picks up the DF.
