More time spent just moving fleets. I continue to bring together all ships for my final battle with Polity. I have decided to make an attack in force.
My last scout was 8 cycles ago and that means Polity has earned at least 800 PI since then, probably more like 1,000 PI assuming some shuttles got through. He had approximately 2,000 SSD of Ships at that time based on my aborted scout attempt and could have built more stations, possibly up to another 800 SSD of ships. This was not a good scouting report, just a quick estimate which could be off 500 SSD either way. That could mean either 2300 SSD or 3300 SSD.
If his fleet is still at Tech 1 and I have seen nothing to indicate that Polity has gained Tech 2, this could be an even battle; if he has Tech 2 – this will be a terrible loss of material. In this case I hope to still get a combat report and gain vital information on what type of ships and tech level Polity has. I am sending in over 1700 SSD of my older Tech 2 designs.
Regardless of the outcome, I continue to bring all of the captured systems up and increase my economics. I have purchased Tech 3, and now own 85% of the Galaxy. My economics alone will allow me to replace my fleet faster than Polity can replace theirs and it is unlikely Polity will be able to match my tech advantage.
Time will tell…
