Sk's,.. Hypothetical
i really hope i spelt the topic right
ok,.. HYPOTHETICALLY speaking,... your the,.. lets say #1 alliance.
Theres an alliance in the bottom part of the top 10, with a scanner who has 147 (or more) amps.
He can scan your planets, however the inc you get of this alliance is minimal anyway.
Do you
a) ignor it,.. its no big deal
b) send SK's and try to cov-op his planet ONCE to get his amps down, and once that is done, rest assured u made your point
c) continue to send SK's at the planet every time he makes it back to 147 (or more).
d) somthing else,...
obviously this is PURLEY hypothetical (really hope im spelling this right) and not based on ANYTHING happening in PA at the moment,.... honest,... .....

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
I would say that hypothetically speaking this would be yet another whine thread. So I would hypothetically just ignore and get on with the war game.

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical

While it might be another whine thread it could also be an interesting discussion point dont you think?

I dont find this discussion interesting at all. If someone wants to attack somebody, then they tend to attack someone.
And attacking scanners with structurekillers is a viable tactic and has been done ever since scanners and structurekillers started.
Now if you have evidence to support your theory about the evil nr 1 alliance being rude and mean deliberatly to a hypothetically good alliance feel free to post them and I shall withdraw back to the Batcave and huddle there with Robin.

if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. At the end of the day Kargool if your so un-interested why have you even bothered to post. This week the word you must learn is restraint. R - e - s - t - r - a - i - n - t. Restraint.

Nah, I felt it was amusing, and decided to give my two cents worth in it. (hypothetically speaking ofc)

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
It doesn't really matter if a scanner is in a hostile allaince or not tbh. Ive had scans done by scanners from ohter allainces against high dist players. If a scanner can scan you then its a viable tactic to kill his amps, which ever allaince hes in.
EDIT: hypothetically

getting 147 dist costs over 11mil of each res. It also means waking up constantly in the night for atleast a month. If I went to all that effort/cost to get 147 dist I'd want to protect my investment, especially from lower t10 alliances that are known for their "mad suiciding skillz"
HYPOTHETICALLY speaking of course.

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
Why not, hypothetically of course, attempt to recruit that scanner with 147 amps and make him your alliance scan whore. If he refuses then use the SK and take his ass back to the stone age.

so your going to get someone scanning you ( a potential enemy) to allows them to join your alliance and scan ppl for you?? and expect them not to relay that info to there x alliance if thats who you plan on attacking.
Also the join or die tactic very rarley makes them join you
clearly no idea

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
PA is a war game. This scanner is a threat to eXilition (this hypothetical business is rather tiresome) by being able to scan their dist-whores and provide information on them to their enemies. They are perfectly within their rights to take your scanner out.
Of course, you could always reach an agreement with eXil not to scan their top planets for other alliances, since you say you're no threat to them. You could even NAP them as well. It's hardly their fault for wanting to do a clean sweep of the round.

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
It's not how many you'll have in 2 ticks that matters, it's how many you'll have in 12.
Amirite?
p.s. As a fellow scanner I share your pain. Evil eXilition often attempt to reduce my mighty amp total also!

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
I guess we're speaking of the same planet, if not then ignore the following.
Clearly the incoming wasn't minimal and was very annoying. That was the reason why I was ordered to assign some SKs and escorts to that planet. Though that was like 10 days ago or something, no idea if any action has been taken lately. It was just a reaction. If you don't touch our high dist planets, we won't touch your high amp planet.

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
eta 12,.. got it, we'll be rdy, cheers
as for scans, their only for us, and HAVN'T been for other alliance,... might be willing to give them out if those accusations keep up ,.. but as it stands, we've ended giving ex maybe 6 waves at the most, probably less, a night. its nothing they couldnt handle. and nothing personal. We've targeted the entire gal, not just their members. Some times not even their members if its not profitable to get covered. I think eX is exagerating how much of a problem our one scanner is. but nothing said here will change anything, just thought it'd be amusing to start a hypothetical thread about it . amused me for half a day :P

HYPOTHETICALLY speaking....your alliance has been attacking eX planets (including mine) quite often during the last 2 weeks so HYPOTHETICALLY speaking taking down that 140+ amps planet is just payback.

As a scanner - I expect SK's - what annoys me is when they manage to destroy everything but my amps ... over 100 amps, and they miss them, and destroy my factories instead....there has to be something wrong with that surely....

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
What I find strange is that eXilition has the ships to waste on us. If we have a 147 amp scanner than I think it’s safe to assume all those above us also have at least 1 scanner of a similar level and some of those have to be a lot more pressing to deal with than F-Crew’s scanner.
After all they know as well as anyone that F-Crew plays their own game and for their own members and aren’t interested in getting involved in politics that see us simply being a tool of another alliance as they try and better themselves (after all we have told eXil this on a number of occasion when they have approached us to act in such a role for them). Our scanners do scans for the alliance, themselves, their galaxy and no-one else.
Additionally it’s not like we have hit that many eXil planets, certainly nothing in excess of what you’d expect from a normal roiding level and our planets are told not to send SK’s on their roid runs and I know a large amount of our planets haven’t even built a single SK all round so its not even as if we have given them a real reason to target us.
I would have really thought there are alliances out there who are actually targeting them or are extremely likely to target them or help others target them that would have been a lot higher priority than hitting laffen. But hey maybe I’m wrong and all the other large scanners in the universe may belong to eXil and those outside the top10 and not to those between eXil and F-Crew

You'd be suprised. Many alliances' scanners top out at 140ish, although there should be little excuse with the alliance fund now.

I doubt that eXil are struggling too much right now, given their fairly obvious value advantage. As Kargool pointed out in his own inimitable way, it's rather unlikely that laffen is only scanning in F-Crew's interests. He's probably a very valuable asset to his galaxy, one that may well contain alliances in direct conflict with eXil.

Clearly the point is you CAN scan for anyone you want. Whether u do or not is not important. If theres a chance you can scan our planets then give away the scan to hostile allainces then we have to try to kill ur amps. Hope you can see that?

This an appropriate reply if and only if you are targetting other hostile scanners in other allies. If you have some nice br w/o co-ords ofc would be nice to see. If you dont please delete this reply as its a mere deflectionary post and more in line with ally propaganda.

hmmm have you been playing this round? some scanners were hit so hard by cov oppers they cried and cried until the PA team changed the rules. please delete your reply as it serves no purpose.
edit: don't give me a load of crap about how cov opping and SK'ing is different, it isn't.

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
I don't really see why anyone needs an excuse to hit a scan/cov-op planet in any way. This is a war game where battles are supposed to take place, if a planets it's strong point is its amps, you destroy those instead. The same way you fleetcatch bigger players their fleet to hit them where it hurts. Its not like being a scanner will automatically grant you protection from any (non-)war related incomings.

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
To answer rocko's origional post (which hypothetically the rest of you were supposed to be doing) I have promoted the idea of going after other ally scanners and distorter wh0res as a great way to help win wars. So far my arguements have ussually fallen on deaf ears. In war the war of information gathering is just as important as the actual fleet battles fought. Knowing where and when your enemy will strike and what he will strike with as well as hiding your own intentions from him is an essential part of a successful war strategy. Focused attacked to disrupt and even destroy the intelligence centers of your enemy (in this case scanners) is a useful expenditure of resources imo. Since the advent of the ally fund however this has become more difficult as scanners no longer have to rely solely on their own personal resources. However temporary advantaged gained by destroying amps (either through covert ops or SKs) is a useful tactic imo and I am honestly suprised it isn't used more often.

Re: Sk's,.. Hypothetical
Covert ops don't work. After I put my security as engineer priority 1, I have had 19 cov up attempt. All failed Only 5 amps destroyed by cov ups....and that was before tick 870.
