Ch.532″Who has suffered more damage.”

As soon as the second phase ended in that manner, we naturally returned to the base.

I first ordered repairs for our fleet that had been significantly damaged without me fully realizing it, then immediately opened the gallery to check other users’ reactions.

And the reactions visible as soon as I opened the gallery were, unsurprisingly:

—————————————–

-[How the f*** can ships teleport directly to where carriers and annihilator ships are?](1,228,162)

-[Give users ships that can teleport fleets too, you bastards](1,094,516)

—————————————–

‘Hey, you too?’

Since no one had expected the “ship teleport assault,” reactions to it were particularly intense.

With over a million comments, it naturally drew attention. Like (presumably) others, I too was mesmerized and clicked on the post to check its contents.

But was the person who wrote such a popular post careless enough to use a password like “1234”?

Right after clicking on the post:

“ARGHHHH!”

Because some bastard had contaminated these posts, other users and I were subjected to unexpected disgusting image terrorism.

Not only that, but most reaction posts by anonymous users were hacked (?) and turned into posts with disgusting images.

In the middle of the event, there was an incident where the necks of these trolls were severed and displayed in the gallery marketplace, but…

Title: Real-time list of banned users LOL

Author: Anonymous

Content: [Screenshot of “ban results” posted by user moderators.jpg]

Already 5,000 people banned

First time I’ve seen so many banned in less than 5 minutes

Comments:

-[That’s a lot]

-[About 4,500 of them got their heads cracked for doing stupid things]

-˪[What gets your head cracked?]

-˪[They’re getting destroyed for cracking passwords of popular posts and editing them, getting caught in the crossfire while trolling]

-˪[We’ve agreed to call that natural selection]

-[Fatal-Troll Genocide]

—————————————–

As a result, user moderators like me who were extremely pissed off, as well as the operations team who seemed angry at trolls more focused on posting disgusting images than participating in the event, joined forces.

As the post indicated, in less than five minutes, the trolls’ post terrorism came to an end.

Anyway, now that those bastards have been dealt with.

Because they’re still fighting, you idiots

Why are you all finished already, damn it

As these posts showed, there was still a looooong time left before Phase 2 would be cleared.

So I decided to proceed with my original plan to properly check other users’ reactions.

And as expected from the number of trolls gathering, the impression of the “ship teleport assault” shown in Phase 2 had deeply resonated with users.

Simple reaction posts had already exceeded 10,000 and were heading toward 20,000-30,000.

Of course, what I wanted to see wasn’t those reaction posts but proper analysis posts…

The ratio of garbage posts to nutritious posts tends to be similar everywhere in the world, so it’s an absolute truth that among 20,000-30,000 garbage posts, there would be 200-300 nutritious posts.

Title: Figured out the Ancient Empire’s concept

Author: Anonymous

These guys have a completely different concept from users and other factions

First, as we predicted in the gallery, the small ships’ performance has almost no anti-air capability, and their other specs are just average

Especially since their power source is outdated, most ships except flagships have poor maneuverability

Beam weapons aren’t particularly powerful overall

But projectile weapons work fine

Most importantly, while ships up to cruiser class have terrible anti-air performance, the super-large ships suddenly have exponentially better anti-air capabilities

Specifically, they cut their offensive firepower and instead increase anti-air capability and maneuverability

What’s even worse is that these bastards can perform the teleport attacks we’ve seen with Laflesia-class or Kraken with their ships

Of course, based on my experience and cross-referencing with other users’ verification screenshots, the limit seems to be light cruiser class

And like other teleporting ships we’ve seen, they can only use it once per day

But it’s not just sending a few dozen ships – a single super-large ship can send nearly a thousand small ships

So it’s just f***ing awful for those on the receiving end

Comments:

-[For real, f***]

-[I sent tanking fleets to the front and damage/bombardment ships to the rear as usual, and got properly screwed]

-[Assault ships teleported right in front of my carriers with decks, and all the decks were destroyed LOL]

-[Seems like the operations team really sharpened their knives this time]

-˪[Are they trying to instill tension in complacent users?]

-˪[Yes~]

—————————————–

Seeing such a confident and nutritious post, I nodded in agreement.

And besides posts analyzing the enemy fleet, there were also posts analyzing the damage situation of users after Phase 2.

Title: What’s interesting about this event is that the damaged players are the exact opposite of Phase 1

Author: Anonymous

Content: [Before & After images of users complaining in the gallery.jpg]

While solo players suffered greatly in Phase 1

This time, users docked at bases suffered a bit more damage

Of course, the difference isn’t as dramatic as in Phase 1

It’s not user fleets that got shredded, but mercenary corps and faction delegations got much more damaged compared to Phase 1

Comments:

-[Hmm interesting]

-[Why did that happen?]

-˪[Solo users got so shredded in Phase 1 that they’re staying away because their fleet repairs aren’t complete]

-[Most of the forces damaged now are mercenary corps and faction delegations, which can be quickly repaired if you have resources]

-˪[But in Phase 1, users’ main fleets were heavily damaged, which takes longer to repair]

-˪[Is that so?](Author)

-˪[It just looks like base users suffered more damage in Phase 2, but if you calculate damage ratio, Phase 1 users still suffered more]

-˪[What are you talking about? Main ships in the rear took heavy hits, so considering resources and repair time, Phase 2 users lost more]

As rebuttals were immediately posted to such comments, and rebuttals to those rebuttals followed…

Watching this very healthy and bright debate unfold, I decided to leisurely monitor the gallery while the ships were being repaired.
