So, Who were we all then? (R17)
The traditional thread where you can post your planet-name, co-ords and/or fleet, and have the opportunity to tell us of your highs and lows for the round.
I know the round hasnt actually finished yet, however most people know where i live anyway, and thus at tick 1331:
You are: Sovereign of Dark Aurora ( 1: 1: 13)
Size:518 (Rank: 557)
Value:1,022,257 (Rank: 690)
Score:1,445,657 (Rank: 818)
XP:8,468 (Rank: 902)
Total Round Roids; 722 (Rank: 1662)
Total Lost Roids; 204 (Rank: 2065)
I was in 1:1 again this round. First time i have been a Zik since R7, and i had a generally much better experience with them than that horrid experiment. Having said that, due to me being really stupid, i forgot to recall my attacking Cruisers (namely Rogues) even after calcing battles and realising that they would all die on about four occasions. Once, i suicided my fleet on a topish planet and got a huge number of roids and XP but lost about 95% of my ships \o/.
Most built ship was Rogue.
Feel free to continue the tradition .

I was Xan, pretty much enjoyed the round, although I haven't been too active. I was lucky to have a great bp/randoms so I was able to keep my roids
Still 1 attack which *might* land

I signed up as a freebie and had no intention to bother, but after shuffle i checked the omen arby and noticed i landed with Caj/SilverAce. So i was upgraded and sticked with the gal
I wasn't really active but helped galaxy and alliance as much as i could
PS: Also enjoyed the DE bangbus missions with Keiz/Cmd_Carl/robban/Cain

Started off alright, picked cath as my bp needed one (We only just got another active cath with a decent scorp or mantis count in the last week or so!), but I'd never play cath again. The frustration of not being able to do damage to your incomings and then the heavy level of incs I got (I had 2 weeks at least of no incs, plus 5 days spent in vacmode, so though I only got 153 hostile incs, they were quite intense...) was annoying.
My fleet was built around a frigate attack fleet of recluse and a CR attack fleet of tarant:roach in 1:3 ratio. It worked pretty well, but ghosts became abundant near the end. In the last week, evry single attack I launched (several each day/night) was defended, often massively over defended. The only time I got roids was when i swallowed 380 mantis def. :/
Ships of the round for me were scorp, roach & mantis.
And I'm about to drop down the ranks as a terran is going to land his DE on me, for a best possible case of a 160k score drop when all XP and roid value gain is taken into account. And going to drop a little bit earlier when a zik is going to land and take a score drop of about 1 mil after all XP and roid gain is taken into account. :/

Had no FI at all until about 1-2 days before 1up tagged and was aiming to build about 500 banshee a day, when I could, to try and "keep up" with the average recluse of most cathaars. This meant it was only the top ranked caths who could hit me, for the most part.
Started on a FI fleet just before we tagged, for the simple reason it was the best way to hit all the fat caths, and I knew we would almost certainly move to planet targeting Omen after tagging and Omen had a lot of fat caths. Was a group of 1up xans with ~100k FI each and just teaming/waving any allowed fat cats as they came along, sometimes through pnap violation retals
"Best attack" of the round was when 10:9:7 landed on a 1up member with his FR, so about 5-6 of us faked a CO fleetcatch on his FR but we actually sent FI Was nice saying as he got about 16-20 alliance defence fleets and spent 1/2 to 3/4 of his stockpile on more recluse
edit: attacker just pulled so I wont lose any

Re: So, Who were we all then? (R17)
As predicted, I've managed to lose a bunch of ranks, 4 attackers have landed on me, for a combined loss of 400k score despite spending their last day resources. :/
On the plus side, my gloriously sacrificed beetles allowed my galmate to steal 400k value in FI \o/

I had an enjoyable round, but could never have ranked so highly without a great BP to look after me.
Didn't even get siege weapons until 2/3 through the round - and wouldn't have bothered at all had there been less anti FR about., I invested heavily in CR towards the back end of the round. My super recluse + beetles were just from spending my stockpile.

Yeah, but point is it was 1.44 NOT 1.36.
1. He only spent SOME of his res so didn't need to trade with fund,
2. Trading with fund would reduce the ratio, not increase it.
When I was shown the provisional calc of def, my first question was "what ratio of c:m/e was his spend". Soon as we saw that was 1.44 we knew he'd only bought recluse and could land safely. All trading options would lower it below 1.44.

I was doing fairly well until about mid-round, when 1up came steaming through my place and took just about all my 1k rocks. I'd managed to hold them for a whole 3 days, which by Ascendancy standards, for a cath, is pretty amazing (mostly due to my attackers being spectacularly shit).
I tried to keep going, but it didn't take long after that for me to realize that without the roids to get the res to build a stack, I was a sitting duck. I couldn't go above 300 roids without getting streams of incoming. I took a few days out, and logged in one afternoon to see I'd lost my entire fleet bar 4k spiders to a bunch of ziks no more than 20 minutes earlier. Oops. No salvage either.
I spent a bunch of money embezzled from the alliance fund to make sure I ended ahead of jerome. So now I have 10k scarabs. Big whoop.
Stuff that rocked this round: - Playing the awesome Cath early round. It was fun to be unstoppable. Even with Mandrakes and Scorpions abounding, few* targets I picked could build their way to even touch my fleet.
- My buddypack (except figar, thankfully he self-exiled out of the galaxy.)
- Some of our randoms were pretty cool too, though by the time we got decent ones I was well on my way to busyville and inactivity.
Stuff that sucked this round: - Exiling. If there's no reason to never, ever be GC again, it's the amount of exiles that need to be done. Hassling my ministers to 'go vote!' constantly sucked. I stopped initiating votes around pt800 or when I went inactive, but despite that our gal still ended 4th on exiles according to sandmans.
- Cath after falling behind the curve. Once I was unable to build up a stack to buy my way out of incoming, there was little point in getting roids.
- The bash limit. Thanks to my early XP, I was able to get very serious incoming despite having 0 ships. That sucked. Not only did that suck, but since my first landings were high XP, it was almost impossible to find targets for even 1xp per roid.
* And those that did were generally ****ups on my part :\

Funny that they took away mining bonuses for GC's and ministers and then gave them more work than ever before.

Was the best round ever for me, took some risks to get higher ranking and some paid off and some didn't. Attacked some 1up planets by accident since the other targets in alliance raids were too small and by that got roided to about 2k roids. But then my attacks started to land with high percentage and i managed to get about 3,5k roids in aprox 8 days.
Also was in 10:9 which was the best gal I've ever been in. Best people and who could forget XelNub . Too bad 7:1 managed to get some big incs on us and there was like nobody around to report/make gal forum threads so it was pretty much ****ed up. But anyway it was a lot of fun.
PS. damn, planet rank 11 and gal rank 2
EDIT: added ships

Best round I've had, roided like crazy towards the end of round with a very big cath, Satyr, since we had stopped being able to get thru on our targs seperately. Probably pissed off a bunch of people along the way, like Dota and #8 in his gal when they broke their pnaps . And used to send at least like 3x a day on Keizari until he got too small and then I stopped building shadows and he was too hard.

Think i had around 4 days of serious incs where i lost 80% of my roids and stole loads of ships. Exiled a couple of times and landed in a gal with some old mates
Best ship= Buccaneer Managed to steal atleast one decent CR fleetcatch and nearly a couple of more
Thought i was gonna beat my last round rank of 39 but seem i got too lazy attackwise lately :\

Re: So, Who were we all then? (R17)
I never broke the pnap and #8 never took it. I just attacked a lot of 1up people by accident and landed on them when they got no def (except for stifler though, but Arfy did a wonderful job making it look like it was something which it wasn't)

I started off well, being top 100 for about 200 ticks, although I soon found out that my alliance BoS was strong in attack but weak in defence what made me dropping down the ranks. So together with some other people I tried to get better organised defence, so I became engaged as scanner and dc in BoS. But that really helped only in the short term, because it became clear, BoS had fierce enemies, especially Insomnia, and the better we got at defence the more organised and targeted the attacks on us became, what eventually lead to the break up of BoS. I was kicked by a leaving HC who wanted to create turmoil under the rest of what remained from BoS, and didnt bother to rejoin them later.
Later on I went in two directions: my "silly idea" (as a mate told me from the beginning) of building up an alliance for people from low-score galaxys to prevent bashing - in the end that ally never really came to live cause a lot of peeps seemed interested but when it came upon joining the ally and get it going only a hand full people showed up, so we organised some attacks that were also partly successful, but after all I closed the alliance again:well at least 1 of our mates got an offer from a decent ally to join them - cheers Talberg. The other efforts I put into strenghtening our gal-defence by having an in-gal-defence list on the forum where people got points for defending gal-mates and were asked to have defence priority on people with high point-count and I think this strenghtened gal-defence during the time, so that was fine. Still against some attacks with 6 waves we were quite helpless - sometimes they picked on of us and gave him 10 or more waves while having the others busy with 2-3 waves at them...
So after all it wasnt very successful but still it was fun.
my main ships: frigates at first, then focusing on roach and mantis - but I had quite a lot of everything.
tbh. I just want to take the opportunity to say bye to PA - after all too much time I spent on it...

I went cathaar to get jgps early, I didn't miss a research tick for the first while and I'd imagine I was one of the first in the universe to get them. I got up to 119 amps at the end of the round I think but being a scanner is seriously dull and I don't think I could ever face it again. I got some resources from the alliance fund at the start of the round but unfortunately I overtook the alliance average value and couldn't get anymore after I got res-hacking covert ops and stole millions off 1up planets with their giant stacks. I used it to build the largest fleet of scorpions in the universe, I had 800 for literally ages, which was when I first got it 2.5% of the scorpions in the universe. I built some mantis and beetles as well for defence ingal. Idler didn't finish t100 because I don't think he sent an attack for the last ten days of the round and cf only finished 68th so weak round. Never ever ever ever scanning again.
Incidentally ascendancy perfected our tag management skills and soared to first place again. Unfortunately jester was looking at the rankings upside down

Not too bad. Started a few days late so always playing catch up. Was too cautious early in the round as I wasn't willing to take losses. As the round progressed I had little option but to land on 4k-6k Mandrakes for decent Xp.
Having said that, still very difficult to keep my roids, as ever, being Cathaar, so couldn't play a value based round. Forced to make the most of a more modest Xp formulae. But having 100 Mantis and 500 Scorpions for alliance defence were nicely effective though Which was nice for my alliance mates
P.s Had a nice time cov oping non security structured planets at the end of the round. Need to say sorry to 12:3:1, was kind of picking on you in the end, but there were times where your resources would get stacked up

I signed up 2 weeks ago with the sole intention of getting top 500. I think i launched about 10 attacks on massive ziks and landed them all. Being allyless i had to depend on my gal to defend me which they did, and we also made a decent rank climbing about 40 places since i joined.
Ship of the round: Barghest, simply because when the ziks saw them they all ran their CR
Ships (1,002 total)

Thank you!
12:3:1 launched a bunch on me for a few days before he came with the big proper attack and took my roids. I'm glad someone made his life miserable

I had a very relaxing round, doubling as scanner and mostly only putting up doing retals on dudes that attacked in my galaxy or the alliance with CR, prelaunched zik's were a tasty treat.
I didnt bother to put up a defbot and only called for def if I was online.
That tend to screw me over abit but wasnt really caring for rank this round.
Deffed my gal everytime someone pm'ed me too

A brilliant round for me too. Certainly one of the best, and a fantastic galaxy (heads up to Dotatrix). Being an untagged 1up for most of the round, my total lost roids were something like 289 before Wednesday nights big raid on us, which says a lot about the galaxy.
Best ship? Recluse! Most of my roids in the second half of the round came from hitting Xans without FA scans with Recluse and Mosquito faked as my CR fleet. Think I only ever landed the actual CR 2-3 times! I loved being a cathaar persicuting Xans for once.
Most frustrating things? Having pretty much no worthwhile targets in the last 1-2 weeks of the round because of all the planet and alliance NAPs 1up had, and because of my bash limit. Having a brilliant galaxy that had only one American (MobRulz you inactive git), and so we had to keep getting up to check for incs (even though they were rather rare surprisingly). Also rather frustrating to have elviz, sand and other 7:1s arrange incs on my galaxy rather than just try to hit us themselves to fight out the #1 gal wars.
Most Enjoyable thing? A 1up round without defence! how relaxed. And again, having a fantastic galaxy, #1 most of the round.

I had a rather difficult round. I started late and took Xandarthi, because i always play em. Build lots of fighter and for the start this worked out just fine.
Got up to rank 130 some 3-4 weeks ago and was keeping my roids thru a mixture of galdefense and ally. But then Cathaar found out that it really paid off to buy a few beetles and fi defense got ridiculously easy unless you sent insane ammounts of it, also i got roided badly several times and suddenly i had to choose if i wanted to be able to hit with fi for small gains as it had tured out or build a few frigs at least. I decided to staywith fi, which paid out in the last few days but proved to give me many incs. :-(
So all in all difficult stats as a xan especially if youve got no cath in gal.
But im looking forward to next round and the new system. SiN has been a great ally so hopefully we'll have a good next round and ill be able to choose my strategy right then.

I defended the two 1ups in my gal a combined total of 33 times this round, 27 of those being before 1up tagged. It was amusing the amount incoming dropped off on them after 1up tagged and everyone planet-NAPed themselves to death. I think I saw one tick of incs on either of them from about 48 ticks after 1up tagged which wasn't Omen. The rest of you are all seriously hopeless cases.

Re: So, Who were we all then? (R17)
We didn't want to take the pnap, but since everybody in 7:1 had it and we wanted to be the #1 gal there was no other choice. 1up had a massive lead when we took it and if we hadn't taken it there was no chance in hell we could have even fought for the rank 1 gal. I even attacked like 4-5 1up and for that I got very much Fi incs. We tried to cover them in gal but.. apparently people weren't so motivated. There was one person in our gal who didn't take it (hello PLVTO )
After the incs landed on me Xelnub and Alexis were crying to get the pnaps for us, but even then I didn't want them. After getting fed up with the whining I said "make the others want it and then I might also take it." And it seemed that me and PLVTO where the only ones holding back from wanting it, so I just said whatever and took it.
PS. I still managed to piss of the 1uppers by accidentaly attacking two of them when I had the pnap

My approach has been (upto the last week or so) a 0 loss xp whore.
I did aim for top terran like I did in r15 Although I did better my personal best rank of 38th it did take the shine off it... Congradulations to Toot. In a split mind to go for either dists or fiance centres, I choosed the latter as my gal was taking shape but I had to make the most of my roids as much as I could without becoming "roid fat"
I had a fairly solid BP this round which I will only be making 1 change in the next round. (Sorry benneh) Also a few solid randoms, but it seemed no amount of "chop chop" got in decent randoms, decent being IRC active and def ingal when they can. (bring back private gals )
My fleet compositions were to have a good mix of attack and def ships.
fi fleet was always going to be handy for ally and galm8s alike.
Built enough nixies to keep most ziks co away receive a good amount of recluse ingal for them to make a good dent.
My chim count could have been higher as I did get a few terran incs, but I didnt mind them landing as I got salvage and found it easy to get more roids back. Always in demand from ally and gal m8s.
De fleet started off as pegs heavy attacking caths as the round progress I opted to go barg heavy and start to hit more ziks.
I didnt bother with cruisers this round as they were weak. (although I did have a few syrens for faking purposes)
My bs fleet mainly hit caths, I did use it to hit xans and luckly no xans decided to call my bluff

Well yeah, but the conventional thinking behind PA these days is to play for your alliance! I wasn't specifically referring to you though. More anyone in a top five alliance who took a planet-NAP and the HCs that didn't boot them and roid them for it.

Not one of my best rounds... Got a lot of incs and kept loosing roids early in the round so didnt grow that fast then. Just like scanners I did scan researches before all the other stuff and spent most of my resources on scans for a long time so mainly grew by stealing more shippies (built only fi/co).. Kept scanning pretty much all the terrans, caths and ziks above my bashlimit to find the best targets and newsied most of them to find inactives I could try steal shippies from.
As I went for scans very early and only attacked with FI/CO I saved a lot of time by jgp'ing targets in end of eta 7 so I could recall and resend at new target the tick after if there were def. Thats prolly why I'm #3 in most launched fleets aswell.
Gal were #1 in ranking for about two weeks early in round and prolly would have stayed there if our GC (big cath in top 10 ranking at the time) hadnt given up, suicided, and quit game (cause we got loads of incs every night etc) wich demotivated the rest of the gal..

For most of the round I had more xp than idler (this was when idler was t100) basically just from covert-ops. If you did those you probably gained a fair bit of xp off that.

It was probably to my detrement ultimately, but I always had high value, and never *really* stockpiled too much (never over 100m of each).
I actually set myself a challenge to end with less than 10k XP when I realised that all the targets i was given (we were allocated most the round), provided me with minimal XP (if any). I failed
