Planet Strike

Rebels, it is time to defend your planets!

## Overview

Planet Strike is a Tier 4 catch-up event for new players. It features VEGA Armada fleets which spawn from Resource Fields and can be easily defeated using Tier 3 Miner Rebellion Hulls.

Note that like the other Strikes, there is no post-event resource exchange.

This event has been deprecated one week after the launch of Deep Space. It used to be run as follows:

## Trivia

* The legacy version of Planet Strike replaced the Special Event.
* The pitiful fleets from VEGA seem to suggest that they have fallen in military power and the rebels have established dominance.
* Bishop is shown in the event description, suggesting that he is behind the Planet Strikes.
* The low spawn rate bugged many players but was never changed often leading to lower players unable to get what they wanted.
* The payouts for the classic Planet Strikes from Sep 23 onwards were unchanged, despite claims by KIXEYE here.
* The classic Planet Strikes on the 7 and 14 Oct 2017 were bonus ones and not originally planned.
* The first current Planet Strike incorrectly offered 2 instances of Deflector Armor I/II/III (Max. 12/ea).
* KIX\_Shadowraith, the product designer of VEGA Conflict, edited rotation B from Oct 2018 onwards to offer prizes for much lower Intel as a test. It was never propagated to the other rotations.
