Portal 2 is $30 now.

I think in total I've spent about $200 at Steam, and the only stuff that was really worth the money was Orange Box.

Hell, they keep making TF2 worse, and don't give a shit about players, especially those who bought the game before.

My ships just deviated from their course line by about 10 pixels... and since apparently, the graphical rendering is more important than the set course line, they got burned by being too close to a planet, despite the course line being a safe path.

Hey, I passed 49k while complaining about Steam.

Fuck Steam.

Lost about 30% of my armada thanks to that second coding error.

But, rather importantly, I have 300 ships inside the enemy defense wall. Shouldn't have left that gap, AI.

Combine the strategy for attacking a defense planet shrouded planet, which is to say, encircle and come in en masse from the short side, doesn't work well with a mine planet, nor with my decreasing patience level.

The traditional mine killer strategy, direct spawn route from naval planets, doesn't work when flying through a defense planet.

So... route the freshly spawned ships to encircle the pair, and pour onto the mine layer until they punch through. Then it's over.

Thanks to the incompetent server admins, we've lost the records, but IIRC, the original neffing thread dates back to December of 2008. At that time, I was below 5000.
