So uh, pretty self-explanatory how this ended.

You have no chance to survive, make your time.
I'd take a sea worm any time over a hundred emotionless spinning carriers.

The bug in that screenshot is that there's no chat message of "AI: W00T!"

7.3 Mad Bomber, 7.3 Sledgehammer.  My ally and I had hit a planet with a counterattack post earlier and dealt with the 5,000 unit counterattack wave pretty handily, so we decided to go for it with this one after saving the game.  Shot the command post, and uh... we lol'ed.  No wave modifiers or anything, no clue why they ended up with 60,000k incoming ships instead of 5,000.

The first 5,000 had a lot of friends.

last counterwave is being multiplied over the last counterwave instead of the regular wave? :p

(mad bomber is 2x, nto sure what sledge is, but its similarly high i believe)

Psh, 32,000? Lightweight. My friend pushes 860,000 wave sizes with multi-planet starts on defender mode.

Come talk to me when he does that in Conquest mode with a two planet start - Defender mode is supposed to be like that :P

My computer would break under that kind of pressure if it weren't for the carrier wave mechanic, 2000 ships plus 858 carriers is much kinder system performance wise than it'd be otherwise.
