10:30 - Very detailed pre-battle analysis When you understand your capabilities and your opponent you will be much more successful in combat. Let me know if you do pre-battle analysis, or if you "Art of War" Full Assault.

Nice! I like the more heavily-edited format of the episode. All great info and piloting!

[@GrumpyThumperGaming]

thanks glad you enjoyed it. I really like the edited content too, it's just hard to find the time.

[@Kurazarrh]

@@GrumpyThumperGaming I know the pain. I've started figuring out how to only record when I need to... Though my videos tend to be longer because of that, I think. Haha.

[@jefferydraper4019]

Your fights are very well organized.

[@GrumpyThumperGaming]

Thank you, it's about having a plan going into the fight and executing it. They had the numbers advantage, but we had quality, so the key was staying close together and eliminating weak ships as quickly as possible. I hope the pre-battle analysis is useful.

been struggling with some bloody liquid diarrhea so this upload came just the right time to cheer me up

[@GrumpyThumperGaming]

uhhh, glad I could help 😅

It is interesting seeing how other players allocate skills. I always sink my first seven points into Industry to max out my salvage results and ultimately get the dmod removal skill. After that I grab the leadership and other fleet-wide skills. The only exception being the combat readiness skill, which I take as soon as is prudent depending on how things are progressing. Been playing since 2014 and this game NEVER gets old! I am looking forward to the next update and the colony threat reworking - I think it is going to make mid game a lot more challenging.

LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!

You really have a great mastery of the game. I tried doing your Silent knights run a few months back, and it kind wrecked me! Good video

[@GrumpyThumperGaming]

Thanks, it comes from lots of battle experience. If you want to see me struggling though, then the early episodes of Long Haul and Rum Runners has you covered 😅
