Nah, Spikie got it in one.
I'm processing them now, could take a while. 4 out of 7 of you decided this would be a good turn to attack. One picked a shielded target, but 3 will be fighting with much blood spilled.

[DrSpike]

I hope the one that hit the shield wasn't me.

[Chaunk]

Likewise

3/7 successful attacks means its likely that an attacker also got attacked

[joncha]

Here's a question: If an attack fleet hit a shield (and thus are sent back home) and someone has taken over their home bases in the meantime, do they get to try to retake their home, or are they disbanded?

[GeoModder]

O my, I really should learn to stay home minding my own business...

Hmm, I guess they should try and retake, otherwise the ships are in limbo.

[GeoModder]

I'm almost hoping I'm the one hitting that shield, then I lose only a ship and halve. And maybe they can save my homebases if the worst happened.

[joncha]

By "could take a while" do you mean hour, hours or days, Skanky?

[Chaunk]

I think it depends on his blood alcohol content...

Round 9

Subtitled: The Rise of the Builders.

Overlord Spaced Cowboy took an inspection of his nation's shipyards and was pleased to see that production was on schedule. He had tea at a small, cosy cafe and spent the afternoon reading a book.

Meanwhile, the other overlords interacted with each other.

Overlord Tacticus was also taking an inspection of his shipyards when an emergency situation occured. A massive fleet bearing the flag of Chaunk was hurtling towards the system. The situation for Tacticus looked rather grim. That is, until the fleet encountered the system-wide shield.

Overlord GeoModder grew tired of his warmongering neighbours, so sent a large fleet to take care of "that Gamecube upstart".

Overlord Spike shunned his builder cloak and revealed the highly-polished war fleet he had been building up. Joncha would need quite a bit of luck to survive this attack. Unfortunately he had only left a token defence.

Pretty close to an hour, I'd guess.
Like I said, a lot of work this round.

[GeneralTacticus]

Well. That was one violent round. Lucky I raised my shield in time...

[DrSpike]

Sorry Joncha. I explicitly commanded my forces to deliver some flowers, but they misheard me and thought I said take all his bases. It's an easy mistake to make.

I agree, they should try to retake their homebase.

In another ruling, when someone is attacked by two or more parties seperately in the same turn, damaged ships can still join in the fight. For calculating the fleet's total hitpoints, you use the ships damaged hitpoint total, not its full hitpoints.

[Chaunk]

Bah!
