Hello all,
So i am trying to learn more about FS, moon destructions and fleet movements in that situations. I was searching through forums and google for some ansers, but found just confusion.
The situation that interests me the moust is FS from moon A to moon B as deployment. And then your moons get destroyed. I allways assumed that the target of the deployment will shift from moon B to planet B and be visible on lanx, and then if you recall it it will not be visible anymore. On planet A nothing will be visible.
But a forum GUIDE says different:
Display MoreQuestion: Ok, now let's get 2 moons! How about now?
Answer: that's known to be the safest FS you can make. Again, having both moons in a same system will save you deut if you're planning to use this kind of deployment.
Detailed explanation of why this FS is so good:
As moons can't be lanxed, FSing by deployment between 2 moons is completely invisible to the lanx. Even more than that! It is completely invisible even if you have both of your moons crashed! Let's look at the quote from the Phalanx guide again: If a moon is destroyed, all fleets returning to the moon will go to the planet instead. And even more important: all fleets sent to the moon will be automatically recalled at the same moment when the moon explodes. Let's remember the line about the deployment: recalled deployments can't be seen on lanx.
Now let's imagine someone would like to crash our fleet which we FS with deployment between moons. As moons can't be lanxed, the attacker will try to destroy your moons in order to see your fleet. But here's a bad news for the attacker: even with both moons gone, they won't be able to see your fleet. Lets see how:
Imagine you FS from moon A to moon B.
1. Attacker destroys moon A: He will not be able to see anything as deployment can only be seen on the planet it's heading to (unless recalled).
2. Attacker destroys moon A and then moon B: When moon B is destroyed, your deployment will be recalled and it will go back to planet A. Since it's a recalled deployment, it won't be seen on lanx.
3. Attacker destroys moon B: as above, your fleet will be recalled and recalled deployments can't be seen on lanx.
4. Attacker destroys moon B and then moon A: As above.
Question: So is this the uncrashable way to FS?
Answer: not really. A very determined and skilled attacker will always find a way to catch you, expecially understanding if you made any little mistake during your fleetsave.
Some player's last action before they log off is fleetsaving. If you're sure this is the case, you can check the activity at the planet where defender FSed from, then go and destroy the destination moon (Moon B in the example above), then calculate when the self-recalled deployment will return to moon A and...... the rest is debris
To avoid being crashed this way, always make some activity after fleetsaving.
To conclude, best way to FS with deployment mission is:
- deploying between planets and recall if attacked
- deploying between moons
The lines i put up in red are the ones that worry me. Is it true? I was not able to find it written anywhere else, and didnt go testing it 
Spy and fly seems so easy and mechanical. Cannot compare to a bunch of lads(more like group of friends) plotting, and planning for months. Taste of success must be incredible after such a hit.
