**Title:** Kicked Out a Moron and Got a Resource Zone, LOL

**Author:** ㅇㅇ

**Content:** [Small fleet leaving], [Chat verification with nickname hidden], [Resource zone verification]

I was about to take that spot, but some guy was hogging it, so I brought my fleet and kicked him out. Of course, I warned him first via communication, and he ran away before I could crush him with my fleet.

What a loser.

Looking at his destroyer with almost no weapons, he’s just a beggar, LOL.

Anyway, all the resources here are mine now. Sweet.

**Comments:**

– [???]

– [Is he really going to hog all that by himself?]

– [Look at this guy monopolizing everything.]

– [Resource-rich flex.]

“Hahahahaha.”

Even though there were a lot of comments, I felt my irritation skyrocket before I could even read them.

This guy’s really pulling some nonsense, this idiot.

To vent my rising anger, I decided to immediately organize a counterforce to take him down.

“Jessica, you know that guy who just ambushed our resource fleet, right?”

“Yes, Commander.”

“Organize a fleet to catch and crush him. We’re going all out, so help me out.”

“Roger!”

Of course, no matter how angry I was, I couldn’t just charge head-on into his fleet.

The firepower of his cruiser, the *Overseer*, was too strong for my fleet, which hasn’t even built a cruiser yet, to handle head-on.

On the other hand, his *Overseer* could easily tank the firepower of our main damage dealer, Pashtira, due to its sheer class advantage.

Instead of attacking head-on, I planned to use an aggro-based bait tactic.

Since his fancy cruiser was overwhelmingly superior to other ships, it would likely rush out ahead of its escort fleet.

The plan was to ambush it at that moment and snatch it away.

Of course, unless he’s an idiot, there’s probably at least an S-class superhuman defending inside the cruiser.

So, I’d need to deploy both Ignis and Belial simultaneously to quickly seize control of the cruiser’s command system in a time-attack fashion.

While I was busy planning, I suddenly realized I was still looking at the community window.

I was about to check the comments on that garbage post, but…

‘Huh?’

Surprisingly, the comments on his post were almost entirely negative.

**Comments:**

– [Is he really going to hog all those resources by himself?]

– [Dude, stop hogging already.]

– [But looking at the picture, it seems like the destroyer only has basic weapons, and the rest is filled with transport compartments.]

– [Is the OP an idiot? That’s a transport-type destroyer, and he’s mocking it for not having weapons?]

– [How would a noob understand the ways of a veteran?]

– [What does that even mean?]

– [The top comments are talking in their own lingo again. Can someone explain, please?]

As the comments criticizing the post continued, the reactions of curious newbies also started pouring in.

Soon after, a post seemingly targeting that damn Melon guy popped up.

**Title:** Explanation for Newbies (Optimal Transport Destroyer Tips)

**Author:** WooWooSaintessChuChuPetPetBabyGlideSpinSpin

**Content:** [Regular destroyer hull enlargement image], [Transport-type destroyer hull enlargement image]

As you can see from these two images, starting from destroyer-class ships and above, you can remove weapons and retrofit the space into transport compartments.

You might wonder why anyone would do that, but this is one of the things that separates newbies from veterans.

Since the game doesn’t explain this at all, even experienced players often quit without knowing about it.

So, looking at the fleet image in that post, the guy the OP called a beggar…

He’s probably not a beggar but a veteran who optimized his fleet for resource mining.

Since there’s a daily limit on how much a resource mining ship can gather, it’s likely set up to maximize daily efficiency.

Probably just trying to match it up like that.

If you have 2 destroyers on a resource mining ship, and they’re basic models, it roughly matches up.

And if you look closely at the screenshot the OP posted, part of their fleet is visible.

That’s the wing part of the SSS-Class Cruiser, the Overseer.

Judging by the look of it, the OP just dragged the Overseer out for a show of force.

It’s likely that some veteran who was just mining resources casually handed it over.

But provoking like that and then posting in the gallery… I mean, isn’t that just asking to get wrecked?

– [The nickname is wild, but the content is surprisingly useful, is this for real?]

– [As expected, straight facts lololol]

– [LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

– [Wait, what are you even looking at to call it the Overseer?]

– [Look closely, you can see the wing fragment at the edge of the screen] (OP)

– [How did you even notice that, bro?]

– [Pixel-level analysis, huh?]

– [So, a noob flexed an SSS-Class ship in front of a veteran, huh?]

‘Ha.’

The entire gallery was practically executing the noob, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Not just the gallery, but even the global chat I had open was reacting similarly.

—

– [Gallery link]

– [Isn’t this noob execution?]

– [You’re the one who wrote that post, aren’t you?]

– [Those kinds of people are gonna get physically executed soon]

– [There are so many people who live without thinking]

– [What kind of mindset is it to try to monopolize such a huge resource zone?]

– [This is gonna be spicy fun]

Seeing the overwhelmingly positive reactions everywhere, I couldn’t help but nod to myself.

‘Yep, that guy’s definitely a piece of work.’

So, I decided there was no need to check the community further.

I closed the chat and community windows I was looking at.

Just then, Jessica came in with the draft of the plan.

—

“Commander, here you go.”

“Hmm.”

“I tweaked the draft a bit while connected with Belial.”

—

Considering Belial has some expertise in fleet battles, I nodded and took the plan.

After a quick review, I decided to put it into action immediately.
