Why do you keep leaving planets empty tatts? The extra planets and TGs you keep giving d'rek is really messing up my ability to plan!
As I said, I knew if they were empty that she'd move a force into them, I was hoping for the dread too tbh.
One turn use of A/N gives her the CT back it cost her to activate the system, and her having it costs you production, influence and votes.
On top of that, she gets 4 TG when you attack, it costs you 1 CT to activate the system
and you'll likely suffer losses during that invasion just to take back what you held, with no real chance of reinforcing your fleet if you plan to conquer more.
Understand all of that, before the round started though I was in a similar position with quite a lot of her ships threatening me. I knew if I wanted Corneeq back and her ships moved I would have to move ALL ships so that she would lose the ships on retreat and that if she built in her home system and decided she wants to attack me (which she did) that i'll offer an easier system for her to take than the one with my good ships in.
If I left her alone then she could have built the ships in her homeworld and used the ships in Corneeq to take my systems with a much bigger force.
Thirdly, I know my chance of winning was blown the moment I took Mallice and D'rek took Jord. I've been clawing back since, but left alone D'rek may have been in a position to win. So my game is left to force her to address me. She may be able to get a few objectives done but she will keep having to be cautious about me and spend CT's my way.
