First Moon

[<PrivatePile>]

I went to Bath for the day yesterday, so sent 2 fleets away on 24hr deployments.
Came back with still 4 hours left, only to find one of my cats very ill.
We rushed him to the vets but he died on the way.
Only just got online to find my attacking fleet was stomped, only just started rebuilding it.
Now I have a moon but sadly 1 less cat (he was 14).

The following fleets met in battle:

Attacker: eVo
L.Cargo...22
Battleship...3
Dest....50
Battlecr....50

Defender: Bill
L.Cargo...40
Cruiser...18
Battleship...10
Bomber...5
Sol. Sat...10
Battlecr....5
R.Launcher...44
L.Laser...21
H.Laser...1

-- After battle --

Attacker: eVo
L.Cargo...18 ( lost: 4 )
Battleship...3 ( lost: 0 )
Dest....50 ( lost: 0 )
Battlecr....50 ( lost: 0 )

Defender: Bill
Destroyed

The attacker has won the battle!
He captured
257.541 metal 150.709 crystal and 80.014 deuterium

The attacker lost a total of 48.000 units.
The defender lost a total of 2.449.000 units.
At these space coordinates now float 442.200 metal and 265.500 crystal.
The chance for a moon to be created is 7 %
The enormous amounts of free metal and crystal draw together and form a moon around the planet.

Battle Result
(Assuming the attacker got the debris..)
Attacker gain: 1.147.964
Defender lost: 2.449.000
Total Damage: 2.497.000

Well it is 3rd time lucky as I have had 2 basic HOFs against me already through Phalanx hits.

Sad about your cat but he lived to a good age! :)

sorry bout ur cat m8, i love cats and it always devestated me when one of ours died in the past.

re ur fleet....unlucky m8 but you have a cheap moon there. get it built up and then u can phalanx others like they have done to you. as Genna says, u should never lose a fleet now if u fleetsave to a d/f from the moon it cant be spotted.

I am thinking about trying a moonshot at my homeplanet. I have read about what you need to get a 20% shot. I am almost finished upgrading mines on my 5 main planets. After that I will save up for a moonshot.

Any tips andy? Ive read the best is to do it with solar sattelites. But I need millions of res to build enough to get a fair 20% chance.

I think andy mentioned on the other forums that his and Gennas preferred method is 1500 light fighters for an 18% shot.

2250k metal and 750k crystal, should be do-able
just need to get lucky to get it worked the 1st time lol
