    Agreed. Particularly so, however, in one-sided battles. Once longer battles come into play, three-weapon fleets are valid, with or without M; as they get double against at least one slot, and free damage against another (even if the subsequent slot is doubled). However, up to this point in the game there have been virtually no competitive battles (I want to say no, but someone will prove me wrong), and few battles have made it to wave 2 at all. M has allowed defenders their one chance to deal a bit of damage, usually when the attacker used M of course...

    I don't see any reason for defence platform, or boosting the defence in general. This is a game of offence and treachery. That's what makes it interesting. If everybody just turtled the game would become boring. If you want the defence stronger, increase the power of the shield.
    I certainly don't suggest making defense platforms adequate to allow or require turtling. However, not everyone enjoys the treachery aspect of this game quite as much as you, Ljube , and a competitive *shooting* game would be appreciated as well. Shields are a special, and Specials are still in the diplomatic portion of the game as far as I'm concerned - you use them at the right diplomatic aspect, not really the right strategic aspect (well, spies are both, i guess, but shields mainly just diplomaticly-related). IE, when you believe you'll likely be attacked ...

    In our quest for more efficient delivery of orders, we have enlisted the services of some space robots. They get the job done, though they do have an unfortunate tendency to push (or shove, as the case may be) people down the nearest flight of stairs every so often. And that they babble on about this "terrible secret of space" and ask everyone if they have stairs in their house. Go figure.

    Edit: FWIW, so far as we can determine, Colony I has nothing to do with these robots.

    Just throw all of Nuclear's forces at Jamski. We all know that's what he's gonna do anyway.

    Sorry for the delay, I was waiting for a response to my pms...I'm still waiting as a matter of fact.

    But my orders are in to the best of my knowledge of the situation at hand....pretty much thinking that things are not going to go well.

    I believe that although you are pretending that I was bluffing my call on his bluff, you actually, like me, believe it was a bluff.

    Given that the two laggards have now posted, can we safely assume the update will be this evening (or at least what constitutes "evening" on the U.S. West Coast

    While we're waiting for an update, I'd like to propose a little game: Guess my orders.

    Anybody can play!
    Jebus is especially invited.
