Quick pre-mission update
Resya has been captured now and I'm preparing to launch a Colonel (Octopus) at Ktoc's Asteroid Field overnight. The attack will land the tick after I hit Weapons 4 and will be accelerated by the warp gates. Ktoc has never once in the game sent a message or bought any infrastructure/carriers during the UK/EU night so I'm fairly confident this attack beginning at 00:30 will catch him by surprise.
The prize will be 8 Industry and 90 credits.
I'm rapidly bringing in other forces and if I wake (early tomorrow) to find this is successful I'll immediately launch additional attacks to pin down Ktocs forces and try to re-take those Northern stars.
Ktocs carrier network isn't strong enough to withstand the rate I'm bringing new ships to the front lines.
Diplomatic
- Gilgamesz has asked me to give him Jerra back now that we're in scan range. This was part of the deal and I will, but it's raised my alert slightly as this was always going to be the first thing he would do before turning on me. I'm not saying I believe he will, but there was no likely scenario where he would where he didn't first ask for Jerra back.
- Denizen has reached out as expected and gave the bad news that Inerz is also attacking them. This is, in my opinion, a really big strategic mistake from Inerz and worse - it's bad news for me as it will accelerate Denizens demise and lead to Anita/Gilgamesz taking over them faster.
It's now a race to defeat our opponents. If Denizen falls before Ktoc does then I will struggle to win this game. It won't be game over, but I'll need to rely on Inerz and Darrow, which doesn't fill me with delight since neither of them talk much.
