Found some aliens. First time ever fighting.
Thought it was the swarm, so I made some ships with mesons and particle beams.
Look around in the system. No enemies in sight. Full tour, no results. Weird.
Set a ship to gravsurvey the planets once more.
2 enemy ships show up, destroy my survey ship.
Sending in the 10kt cruisers.
Proceed to get hammered by 57 nuclear missiles every 5 seconds.
10 armor on a 10kt ship lasted quite a while, but I couldn't shoot.
Eventually lost.
Made new ships, this time designed to only have PD.
Sent them to that planet again.
No missiles used against me, instead they came close and we exchanged some hits with mesons.
Kept doing that for a bit, then they run away. My ships are too slow to keep up.
Send my ships back to the gate, make a new survey/jump ship to bring them back.
Before that's done, the game slows down again. More meson combat.
Again after a bit they run away and stay at 170k range.
The hell, I can't play like this.
Try moving back and forth a bit. No use.
Destroy my own ships. Make new ones.
Okay, my next ships are ready. This time with 10k range particles.
Proceed to move them toward jump point when the game slows down again.
Those same 2 enemy ships.
They came to Sol and quickly found a freighter.
No damage being done though, somehow. Just chasing that one freighter.
Game is in 60 second ticks, so I can't do anything about it.
Wtf.
tl;dr - I can't fight an enemy because it controls time itself. It doesn't attack, just stops me from using ticks over 60 seconds.
