What should I do with the Dyson Forest at Deneb ? Next turn I'll have to decide whether I attack it with my two frigates, let it grow 7 more turns to attack with Endhu's frigate (and my two frigates too, obviously) or let it grow more than 20 turns in order to bring Flak Symbiotics against the Dyson fighters...
Hmm, let's see...

Looks like the forest is equipped with a mass driver, so it can do 72 damage total if it survives 3 bouts. What is up with the krill swarm damage and fighter count? Does fighter count increase with time? If so, then we have to expect maximum possible:
4 fighters launched in round 1, they do 4*6 damage in bout 2,3,4 = 72 ?
4 more launched in round 2, doing 2*4*6 damage total in bouts 3,4 = 48
4 more launched in round 3, doing 1*4*6 damage total in bout 4 = 24
Total 72+72+48+24 = 216 damage, which is about two frigates worth. I suppose that if you slip some scouts in there, the frigates would very likely survive. But killing the forest is unlikely. Someone correct me if this math is off, I haven't played in a year or so.
For Giausar I could send both my frigates up and add a cruiser that is half built, so 4*18 damage per bout for 288 total, and the forest will probably have more HP by then. The outcome could change if I research MD2/3/4 !
