Construction went quicker than I thought, but...
F**K. The SWCG got wind of my exploits with the space whale ship (however humane it was) when they accidentally flew by it. So, of course, they took the only reasonable course of action- attack my base(s)/fleet/whaleship en masse. If anybody wants to stop the entire Ganta sector from exploding (1/5 planets gone from stray nukes already), then please come over, or just watch one of the more cataclysmic space battles these days.
The space whale has been holding up surprisingly well, and has already taken out half a fleet, though it's drawn a few more to it. I had no idea space whales were so good for this. Basically, you just strap on plasma railguns and let the blasting begin. They've broken through my home planet's defenses and are on the ground in a massive duel with my PDF, my main fleet is taking on FIVE fleets (and doing alright- the boarders have killed over ten ships already via sabatoge), and my outlying bases are being hammered to a pulp. My god, do NOT get these people angry. At least one of those Timeshitlords hasn't shown up yet.
10ebbor, your facility is safe- I told them that I had built it in one of my outlying bases. Guess which base is now radioactive dust.
