Anyone have any thoughts??

I have a thought on this.. i believe you DOE coz you lost a greater amount of Fleet PR than Slavvyzz` did

I had quite an awkward experience too having a pure 100 queens on my fleet and somebody from way up had about 10 hercs w/ a few dummies down his stack i believe he pretty much attacked on normal and all of my queens annihilated but still won. attacker lost two hercs.
100 queens = 89,600PR 2 hercs = 90,804PR i think that was the cause (just my opinion) but i never experienced it again.. so i can`t really verify it .

3rd Eye..would it be proper to say .... the amount of turns involved was "slooper duper"

im more intrigued by u both having 1900 sloops! thats a lot of turns...

yeah. If two opposing stacks have the same range, Defender`s attacks first. ALSO, the different attack mode you choose (careful, normal, aggro) makes a huge impact on the defenders advantage. This is a list of the modifiers applied to each ships weapons for different battle types:

Attitude Defender Attacker
Cautious........ - 50%.......... - 50%
Normal................0%............- 5%
Aggressive......+ 99%..........+ 75%

Slavyzz and Mazuku explained it well IMO

sloop shoots energy. sloops dont like energy. your sloop wasnt fast enough on the trigger :P

defender has advantages especially in mirror situations. It`s generally accepted as bad manners to post the other empires name, and I was building to hit the UW.

Yes. I have a thought. Just one. YOU LOST. Actually everything about this battle appears to be very predictable, right up to the attackers 1 ship spam and his blatant lack of manners when posting.
