I'll admit it was a pretty smart move. We definitely didn't protect them like we should've, and now we're on the defensive despite having a superior fleet.
Whoever thought that one up, give them a medal.

honestly, that's one of the things I'm enjoying most about this new arms race. There is actual strategy in choosing your engagements and positioning your fleet. At best, your designs give you an edge over the enemy, but to actually win, you have to know how to fight a war.

We're playing the engineers and generals in this one.

I'm excited for some squad vs squad ground combat, where I'm sure you Wrethi will get absolutely slaughtered.

Come on down to Three Captains or the Unfinished then! Then we shall see who is superior (Wreth, obviously). Unless you're scared of a little infestation or an empty spire?

All joking and foolishness aside, this is why new AR rulesets need to be double-checked. We were under the impression that you could not sneak past us, hence "Just sit at the Spire and keep them from getting past" should've worked.

Anyway, how's it feel to be running out of the most basic ship type?

Technically we were already at those spires, so leaving them wasn't that hard, even if we went in the opposite direction you expected.

And to be honest, not that bad really. I mean it is the most basic ship type.

Your *only* effective combat vessel type.


Just pointing that out. Although, to be fair, it's our only one as well. We're just flat-out better at retaining the things.

Expired link. They're only good for like 24hrs.

I personally wasn't misled by anything Draig said.
Actually, I recall saying "we should go for their Demis"

The link was only just put up there, it can't have expired that quickly.
