I have a situation on the place holder account. Doog Luos at 551, 2451; Björn Hardtke has dropped a RS and silo on my location and is leeching resources. I've sent a message, polite in tone asking him to move and could use the alliance doing the same.

There is a theta blue planet just down to the left at 541,2461.  We could point it out to him to get him to move or you could head there instead.  I'll send him a note in a bit.

Also, I can't search for him since I can't create the ö in the game's search box.  Copy and pasting from here didn't work.  But he isn't on the leader board and is probably under PP still.

Message sent.  I told him leeching was strongly frowned upon in the game unless he was looking for a fight.  I also told him we weren't looking for a fight but would defend our territories and then asked him to please move his stations and pointed out there there were a couple of theta planets nearby that he could move to.  (There's a blue one SW and a yellow one ESE).  We'll see what his response is.  I've dispatched a fleet to the theta blue there (not the one I announced in game in a PM) that should arrive in just over 10 hours.  That fleet will pass fairly close to the theta blue I announced in-game (after about 5 hours) and I could divert it there if necessary.

Well, I haven't heard back from the leecher and he hasn't moved.  My shipyard is on the way down there but is two days out.  I'm out of PP now and hunting aliens along the way.  If he hasn't moved by the time I get there I'll recycle him if he's out of PP, if not, I'll have to wait until he is.

If we have to wait for him to get out pf PP I'll recycle him myself as I'll be out of PP by then anyway.

Its frustrating because you can plainly see that the RS is working at 50%. If it was a theta or better PP is nullified so it would be different.

Leech solved
BTW this is how his name appeared in the battle report and I was able to copy that into a search field and discover his PL. He was also leeching on 2 other players so I, in my Sith persona just mass recycled him. Wonder if he'll respond with a message now? As for the other two players being leeched I more or less told them to thank Doog Luos and Gollwin Academy.

I'm sorry Tom I burned some platinum to get a shipyard there. Just got tired of being ignored by him. Don't guess he can ignore me now.

That leech is back and the stations seem to be in the exact same spot. I think there may be something to the possibility of spawn players, haven't looked but I bet his stations are on top of the other two players near by. If he really is a spawned player then I guess he can be kill on site if for no other reason then for fleet commanders to earn exp.

Very strange.  I diverted my shipyard but maybe I should send it back there to do some training.

New Leech to watch for.  A fellow named John Weber1 is an active leech placing RS on others worlds.  He took a theta ore I was holding to build on and as I checked around for other worlds to move my fleet to I noticed two or more that he has set a second station at where others are already active.  His current PL is 4k, about half the level of half of us.  I messaged him about taking my world but he has not responded.  If he leeches one of us we should be prepared to launch a combine strike on him to scare him straight.  Here are some of the worlds he is leeching: (498,2602) and (540,2554).

Iggy and team, Let me know if we are going to hit him. I have a fleet moving around hitting aliens. I can divert it at any time.

My nearest shipyard is at 695,2562 (sitting on a theta blue by my omega star if any one wants it).  I could send it on its way that direction if you want.

I don't think we need to attack this guy now.  We just need to watch him and respond strongly if he does cross us.  The purpose of this thread is to track such players.

New Leech: Keith Carpenter of NECRO,S at my omega star 1067,2430

I've initiated diplomatic messages with him and his alliance leader che Swanner. (waiting for an answer)

at any rate it got me thinking since I'm loosing 50% of the resources I could collect to the leech would it not make sense to send waves of fighters to RAID (note not conquer) to recover said resources? I'm thinking that possible future policy would be to attempt diplomacy and inform that we begin to raid leeches after a certain ammount of time then perhaps raid to recover resources and see if he moves on and finally if he doesn't move then recycle. What do you all think?

You've been completely taken out.  I've dispatched a shipyard to the area but it is over three days away.  I just don't have anything close.

I think one of the SY that they have there is a new build, Keith's.  It just appeared.  The other guy is playing support.  I could have a fleet there in just over 8 hours but it is only 40 swingers (a10/d9/t8)and 15 colossus (a9/d10/t8).

That aint enough you need a fleet of 300-400 with over half collossi. Dave haycraft has a power level of 18,000 and keith's pl is about equal to my regular account. When i get home i'll start building spy probes by the boat load to locate their stations and if we hit them we need to hit all Sy then roll up everything else. We need to see what diplomacy Brings but i suspect its simply "we're taking the omega whether you like it or lump it" we also need to think about starting the second tier of the alliance as a training alliance that goes to war is no longer a training alliance.

I've been thinking it was time to start the second alliance for about a week now.  So I guess this would be a good time to do so.  Then we can shift over to the new alliance and start taking action as needed.  The only question is do we keep the Gollwin Acadamy alliance active or just completely disband it?

My real account is under my RW name, Doog Luos is the name of a PBP character I ran in Black Hand Gang and i created that account as a place hold for the Gollwin academy alliance. we should keep it out. if you go away on vacation and wont be able to check in with the game for a week or two then we just move you over to the academy and hope you dont get hit. I'm very much considering dropping out of the SEU with my main account to support the main SF alliance. Have to look into trying to get us a non aggression pack with the SEU. A majority of its players have dismatled all RS in favor of SYs and silos and I just read a post where the leader said he had 3k ships and only 20 kills for the day and needed more targets- They take war seriously and hound you till you surrender. We very much want to avoid aggression with them.

Suggested names: Frontier Fleet? If we use Space Fleet I think it will come across sappy. I've thought about every other organization within the setting and nothing seems right. But Frontier Fleet (FF) has a ring, is a montage to the game and sounds interesting in Conquest.

I recognized the Doog Luos name.  We could use Warriors of White Light as well.  But I like Frontier Fleet as well.
