Wow, the boards really have been quiet for some time, no new threads in a month or so?
anyway its me from the past.
after getting smashed, I stayed and rebuilt, I got my fleet to bigger than what it was when I was smashed. and started to work on eco again.
but by this point I was well and truly out of the race for the top 10 and even top 20.
my alliance friend had put his account in vmode, and was preferring to live life again, and good on him, thats how it should be.
well he offered me his account, and after a long hard thought 2 seconds I said yes, how could I resist such a well built strong eco/research focused account.
I have continued to keep up the eco and research, but have hammered the fleeting and now have my fleet back to where it should be, for now anyway.
I now have discoverer class, so have been enjoying the benefits of expos, and the rewards have been amazing, really helping with my growth.
anyway, I have here and there dabbled in probing the rare active player, and came across a small fleet with 8k sats, so I thought why not.
half way into the flight, activity appeared, so I held off doing anything until a timer appeared, which it did, and re scanned, only to find his full fleet with a good stockpile of res had landed.
Now the fleet I had sent wasnt enough to grab much at all, but was still enough to clear the fleet with minimal damage, i sent a follow up, which was an additional hour and half aftre the original hit. so thankfully, the player didn't come on and still hasn't, so DF is also safe in my recs 
sorry for the long story, but 1 its me, and 2 the boards needs something to read!!!
the hit is dedicated to the TDA, but specifically to Valeyard for giving me the account, and giving me a whole new lease of life in the game again!!
