Well this was one of those gut wrenching, kick yourself the whole way type of nights.
Night started off with me spotting 1200 dessi's just sitting on a moon and some res sitting on another moon. So I send out the needed recs for the dessi's and started on going after the res on the other moon while recs got closer.
I had secured the res from the second moon and now it was just a matter of getting recs close enough to my attacking fleet.
Res raid can be found here: Part 1
So I'm in countdown to launch and its finally time to go and I launch my fleet. I'm nervous that he'll come online before I arrive, but I'm smiling ear to ear knowing a good portion of his dessi's are going to go down, the heart and soul of his fleet building over the last month.
About 20 minutes into the flight I look at my fleet overview to see how far away res is from returning from the first hits.
My recs were 10 minutes in front of my attacking fleet..............................
I got a hold of Daaq to see if he could cover knowing this was going to be about a 75% chance of a wasted rec launch. We discussed briefly if I was going to recall and after hitting revenges moon earlier, I decided even if he came online, harvested he was still going to be hurting to rebuild the dessi's and for me, it would be nothing more than throwing my loses in the oven and baking up some new ones.
The Mission Objective was now clear, jack up this boys dessi's.
Besides, in reality I'll probably raid him for that harvested DF anyways?
