    So you managed to gather up enough fighters for another invasion force eh?

    Impressive!
    Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

        Thank you, thank you!

        Actually, I could have had it on the first night, had I been
        thinking a bit more. The reaction level on Ferrengal *was*
        40%, so 40% of his fighters would throw themselves against
        me. If I would have kept "attempting" to land there, I could
        have soaked up all of his fighters (relatively) easily
        against my shields...

        I ended up having to kill off only 380-ish fighters to capture
        the planet...

        Now, if I can just hold on to it for awhile. =)

        Thanks again for the kind words!

              Will new ferrengi ships continue to attempt to reclaim their home planet?

                Very impressive, Burbel! Congrats. So, are you now having constant attacks by the Ferrengi?

                What about the planet, was it worth conquering (besides all the glory)? What is the population? Are there a lot of products for you to sell to compensate your fig/shield losses? Just curious.

                  Well, I *do* intend to try and keep it, but I also figure
                  that I will lose it sometime relatively soon.

                  When I captured it it had around 1,000 colonist per good,
                  less than 500 fuel ore, and a bit of the other products.

                  But, as everyone probably knows, it did come with a citadel,
                  although a citadel on a class M world is not as nice as on
                  the other types of worlds.

                  So far, I haven't seen any Ferrengi attack me, but, then
                  again, I only have held the planet for around 10 minutes.

                  I read somewhere that if I control both Ferrengal and the
                  sector above it, that the Ferrengi will not be generated,
                  but that the current ones will stay "at large". Not sure
                  if that is true, or not, though.

                  As for the losses, I seem to be out at least 4k in shields
                  and 17k in fighters, give or take. The planet produces almost
                  100 fighters per day, though, so I figure I should break even
                  in, oh, about 7 months!

                  More when I log on tonight...

                        Well, I don't want to give away my secret plans,
                        but the Ferrengi have *not* managed to take it
                        back yet (although they have destroyed a lot of
                        fighters trying)...

                        So far, my defenses are holding, but only time will
                        tell...
