Hello fellow Thubaneers,
I noticed that Rocky would sometimes leave a few billion worth of resources and ships on his moons after reset, and so have been checking in on him regularly.
Today, I was doing my usual checkups on him and, to my surprise, saw his full fleet sitting with a timer. I debated launching immediately, but decided instead to spend a bit of time simming. After 4 minutes of effort, I realized that my original plan of sending all CR/BC was correct after all. Whelp, that was a mistake, I thought as I kicked myself for not having gone instantly.
Thankfully, defender did not come on in the 10 minutes it took for my fleet to make contact with his moon. 2 minutes after that, the CR appeared, and Thuban had a new Top 1 Solo hit.
Defender went vmode right after the hit and I haven't heard from him; I wish him a fast rebuild or best of luck IRL depending on what he decides to do.
