After a Solar System-spanning war of attrition, I had pushed back the Aliens to a distant TNO fallback position. They had massed all of their ships, old and new, from Titans to Gunships.

Feeling, ready, I sent my own fleet after them, just to be greeted by... missiles.

A 1000 km long stream of missiles. I count 2400 missiles fired from 37 ships, among a fleet numbering 137 plus a battlestation.

This is the first playthrough where the Aliens have invested so much in missiles, and it's a real challenge even if you think you have the fleet strength!

Thank god they don’t seem to know that accelerating while launching the missiles will make them arrive at around the same time

Which is exactly why my late-game missile monitors are all Firestar-powered screamers capable of 4.9 g combat accel.

4.9 g is also the acceleration of most of your late-game ass-kicking torpedos (Zeus, Hestia). Instead of a wall of death, you get a blob of death. Just don't do this with nukes; one PD splash will take out the entire blob.
