Doog, its stupid to stay in a base that doesn't have a level 5, even then I usually cloak in fed. I can rebuild a base, though if I die, it may not be easy getting back into the game and getting another ship. If you ever played a competitive game you'd know this.

As for me running and hiding, I do that even when I have the resources to blow crap up
Boys please.....
We have had not only full corps (megacorps actually)
trying to take us out.. (1 was successful, respect to
drwakko).. but the entire universe aimed at us.. for the reason
being that we won. Fair enough, and normal. But claiming no
one else had a full corp? well no.. not after defeated.. they
leave. Perhaps 1 or 2 stragglers stay behind. For a while at
least. It seems the aliens do as much damage to them as we do.
No resources? Do you need diapered too? We got ours.. You get
yours. If the only way You can get them is by robbing newbies
at stardock.. well then perhaps you need to expand your versatility.
If you cannot defend a base.. perhaps you should stay red and cloaked
quivering in fedspace. The universe is not for you. It is said "No man is an island"... though perhaps this does not apply to you?
Without others to tend to you, you are quite helpless. By removing Your corp, we removed the root. The weed dies. And the trade eunich goes on.
Are we unbeatable? No, not at all. It can/did/will happen. But
if you wish to tell how we "suck" because we do not play your way,
there is one obvious difference. obviously for the universe we
are in, the way we play as a TEAM works. We are a 3-4 person TEAM..
each doing what we need to, each sharing ideas and doing things
for each other. Teamwork.. works.
this current game there were 4 full corps (i believe there were 3-4 players the first day.. i was the only one from our corp)
corps 3 and 4 were working together, and corp 5 was working alone.
I went looking for 2 players who got insulting, and ended out taking
out for all practical purposes 3 corps. I did it without scripts to
intentionally lag other players. This was not a miracle. We simply
planned and worked better together.
And as far as the 2 players that initiated hostilities.. I hope ghost
has learned not to threaten people with 10 times the resources. He
certainly has not repeated it...
And Corporate Killers invitation to have physical relations was answered very simply: Bend over dear.. tonight I'm driving.
oh one other thing.... until Dr Wakko joined us.. (his request, and
a wise one....) we had a 3 person corp. Others had more. They do
not now.
One person wants us in an unlimited turn game, another wants us in a game with fewer turns. We found a nice, compromise universe. And we
have been... TOO effective and you and the rest have not. Everyone
left (though another brave corp is in and trying... I respect their
courage!)
You, and the rest, have not been effective. Hence after numerous attempts by numerous people and corps, We still stand.
If you are going to suck, do it well!!
