To be fair it was only half of what I described.
The game was called 'Top Doggs'; Panzer lent me an outpost that was equidistant from the Turtle as one of mine, but nearly exactly on the other side, and both very close.
I brought a pirate / nav / martyr out of the fog which landed at my base just as Panzer vacated another base on the other side and give it to me. Bangerz gave me a whole series of stringers to guide my death sub to safety right beside the turtle. Meanwhile my smuggler swooped in to join my death sub.
Turnout was the target - one of the best defenders for sure. He had a pirate following my death sub to try to trigger the martyr, but with Bangerz' help I was able to get the sub to my base before that could happen. The pirate began returning to the Turnout's turtle at 4x speed, while I launched the smuggler death sub at 3x speed, meaning by the time he could redeploy the pirate, I would be too close for him to survive.
He bailed from the base immediately once he realized Panzer gave me the base, and what was going to happen in about 4 hours - my smuggler / nav / martyr would have been a high price to pay but when is security ever cheap?
After he bailed, I turned the smuggler around with the navigator, back to base, swapped it for a pirate, and game over.
Turnout actually lived though because I'm a softy and he's a good guy. But it would have been the end of him for sure.
The lesson is a turtle is best taken care of in cooperation with others who have a mutual interest in border safety.
Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...
