Also marc, your Oberon post is, to put it simply, impossible. They aren't that stupid to not see a optically cloaked ship. They have it on all their ships, they know better than to rely on just optics. They have radar, infered, X-ray, microwave, etc(aka short of blocking all EM waves, or warping, your going to get detected). If you had played it out how you did on that post, your ships would be destroyed before you even got there, much less land troops. And also, they also know troops and aircraft have cloak sometimes, which is why thermal camera's are standard issue on all troops. Do you really think I'd let you get through that easily?

Also, Phobos is DEMILITERIZED(they have little to no military production, and any military defences and ships are only to protect trade), and bombarding phobos with your FBA group, even with the extentions and reinforcement ISR did to phobos, could potentually shatter the moon to pieces, and that would mean you killed well over 100,000 innicent civs. Phobos is a really small moon, and even with the additions ISR added, it's only about 7-10 km/mi(idk the exact units) radius, which a FBA could shatter with only a few volleys.

Also, how do you subdue the defences of the ISR controlled vent? if you haven't realized, it's not that easy to destroy defences with ISR. Vent eta has many anti-ship and anti-aircraft defences in and around the vent. There is also ships patrolling above on many occasions. Sure, your ships may have warped in and gotten a slight advantage, but ISR was already getting prepared for being found out, as I told enterprise, which means you really can't sneak up on ISR. They have been preparing for the day their secret was discovered for a long time, so they were ready for this attack from the get-go. the transport weren't really, sure, but all the other military ships were trained for this day in RP.
