Don't remember a lot about this one. I was a Tib, but we didn't do a whole lot. The Krils were dominant, but even when NAPped with us couldn't muster a sufficient force to destroy Ajaxus (despite being able to obliterate the Ajax fleet). The game was eventually called.
Taken from a post by VoxDei on the TVS forum in October 2002
Right from the start this frantic had only a few active pilots. Us Krils had been lucky and got most of all the active and experienced pilots. The beginning was pretty even among all 4 legions. But only the Krils had a constant high number of online pilots. That way Krils soon dominated the galaxy in all ways. Jaxs and Bors soon stopped trying to bother us and went for Tibs. We knew that we can't cope with 3 Legions all the time especially not during our own low-online-presence. So we allied with Tibs and went back to kill Jaxs and Bors. Soon there was nothing left for us to do as to hyper from Ajaxus to Boraxus back and forth again. Trying to kill everything what couldn't cloak at sight. While we tried to get us enough cruisers to take a homeworld down there was a 6hours+ server crash while our entire Kril fleet stayed in Ajaxus. PDS was still active. We suffered some ships in that process and lost some actives.
Still no legion could harm us but 1. we never reached the strength to kill a base with our own lower activeness now and 2. the time passed on and ppl kept adding scrap to HW making them almost indestructable. Seing that even the entire Kril fleet was unable to take a base out Neoleash and some others talked to Wingee and came to the decision that this frantic will end on Monday moring. After this decision became public all legions lost even more actives. So all we did for the last 3 or 4 days was to sit in Ajaxus together with Tibs and tried to take it out with our remaining fleet. Tibs managed to build up a decent cruiser fleet at that time. I dunno about Bors. As most time Kril-Lc I didnt care about them for the rest of the game. From what I remember they soon went mad about us Krils for killing their entire Fleet in Boraxus twice per day and most Bors took a cloaker. They started some raids around Dreadlar and recovered some strength at the end of the game but never tried to attack PK. At the end of the game all bases had over 450k max hp except for PK which was still around 250k HP, but mostly because Singe and me refused to install scrap ( we carried around 200k scrap along with our carriers ).
