    Yesterday I messed up my FS, and had this fleet coming back earlier than the rest. Work has been busy and forgot about it, with the sudden realization "Hey, maybe I should double check". Fleet was < 10min out, so I insta'd the dessies and LF and the rest is history. Got an additional 42kk profit thanks to the wreck field that is not counted here.


    Defender was a good sport, I wish him a fast rebuild. Apparently he had launched earlier but a random probe generated a star and he recalled, didn't want to recall this time.

    Saw defender left his fleet sitting and timer, but I didn't have enough deut in galaxy to launch. Mobiled in system instead and BOOM.


    Fast rebuild to the defender

    And the first of the merge newcomers falls! While 1nfam0us may be the first, he will certainly not be the last. HOT will always be ready to catch anyone napping.


    GLOTR; after the hit, defender sent a nice congrats to gamer, apparently "caught [him] at a bad time". With how many people joined CLOSED after the merge, hopefully a few can send some res to get you back on your feet.

    HOT would like to welcome our new neighbors from Ganimed, Libra, Tarazed, Izar, and Rhea. While it's unfortunate that the scaredy cats in Izar decided to head to a uni without real competition, the next few months should still be fun as things shake out.


    Looks like Scar gets to claim the first big hit since merge (I'm posting it since he doesn't have a board account). I'll admit we're a little surprised it's on a long time resident, since he should have known better, but are happy to snap up the res.


    Fast rebuild defender

    +1 to that, can't understand why anyone would move to Oberon given the acct situation, better to adjust specs of cygnus and get everyone together


    One two three four five six seven eight hey baby you're a little too late
    I'm standin' on the outside lookin' in at you on the inside
    Lookin' out at me on the outside lookin' in
    Through the window of my madness at a place I never been
    And you say you understand just what my trouble's all about
    But you're sitting on the inside playing on the win side
    While I'm freezing on the outside in the what's-it-all-about side
    Lookin' in at you on the inside looking out


    - Crouchin’ On The Outside by Shel Silverstein


    Nearly a month without a post to our uni. Something something waiting for merge.


    However, just because there's not much activity doesn't mean there aren't any hits happening. I've watched Defender for a while and seen a few opportunities, but when I move in he usually starts keeping his fleet to a different galaxy. Saw him again yesterday, moved in, and waiting for my moment. When I saw odd sustained stars, I guessed Defender was idling and generating activity, so launched the speed fleet not knowing how long my window was. I wish I was a bit more careful and split the cruisers out into a separate ACS attack, since that would have saved 400kk of my ships. Slightly short on recs launching after the hit, but they came back full while defender got the rest of the DF. Still, pretty satisfied with the result, A+++, would smack again.


    Defender messaged after the hit wishing GG, said he was in the middle of FSing and got distracted right before pressing "Launch". Fast rebuild.

    As frustrating as vmode fleeters are, I can't think of a good way to balance it that would satisfy everyone. However, I think there is something in making vmode inactives better. Here's my suggestion:


    When an account is in vmode and goes 7d+ inactive, their planets starts to show as Peaceful Planets. Peaceful Planets have been forgotten by their galactic emperors, their ships and defenses have fallen into disrepair, and are welcoming to visitors and share their resources.


    Peaceful Planets start at 0 resources, and gain resources based on the energy/production settings/storage capacity of the planet when vmode was enabled. When scanned, they show as 0 techs, 0 ships (Solar Sats are active, but not visible), and 0 defense. Any particular Peaceful Planet can be "attacked" only once per 24h per player, and resources are collected at 100% for newbie accounts, 50% for accounts with eco score smaller than the vmoded account, and 10% for eco scores larger than the vmoded account.


    When the account is no longer inactive, (whether it leaves vmode or not), is is no longer considered a Peaceful Planet. When the account comes out of vmode, they still have all of their resources/ships/defense/etc.


    By disconnecting it from the actual resources on the account, you don't screw over someone who bought DM and stopped playing ogame for several months, but you allow the account to be used as a resource for smaller players to grow.

    I just got in via ipad, and attacks have been disabled. If you haven't been hit, it's safe, if you have been hit, GO's have already said you can file a ticket to get stuff back.

    log in problems, nothing special here, its neither cheating nor strategy, its pure luck, we see lot of these after implementation of lobby, its just lucky players taking down unlucky ones, dont praise when there is nothing to praise, sorry to see this happening...

    Did you read messages at all? This his happened about 6 hours BEFORE the lobby was implemented.


    I'll freely admit if defender could not log in is unfortunate for him and lucky for us, but I take offense at anyone saying this was because of the lobby release. If defender really had issues with login, Why not file a ticket earlier, or let his ally know and have them generate activity?


    I am the king victorious,
    The jurors can plainly see.
    As this crown sits on my head,
    With shining jewels of glee.
    I don't doubt this directive course,
    As you can plainly see.
    For I am the king victorious,
    And you have become no voice to me.


    - King Victorious by Seth Milliman


    Probing around after reset I came across this forgotten fleet sitting on a lonely moon, with no activity on any of the defender's planets. Being too small to recycle it myself, I gave my buddy Bgamer a ring, and he joined me to help take it down.


    As we were getting ready, Defender’s friends noticed Bgamer was out of VMode and realized something was up, and presumably started searching for our colonies. They did eventually find us and tried to give Defender some fake activity, but by then it was too late: we were less than two minutes away from the hit, and you can see the result. Our best guess is that Defender forgot to VM, but perhaps he was just in a giving mood. Regardless, fast rebuild.


    Many thanks for Bgamer for taking me along, and sharing the loot so generously. If he had hit this solo, it would have been honorable and the new #3, but he insisted I join for the new #5 ACS and my first top 10.


    Dedications to Bgamer and the rest of HOT for being such awesome ally mates on these adventures. This is but one down, but there’s plenty more work to do, and I’m proud to fly with you fine gents.
