Looking good MIKE, I'm almost exactly the same as you. I don't have any ships or defense built however. I'm hoping for my first colony next week. I'm saving up the necessary 6500 metal to upgrade my solar plant to level 12 now...

QFTFTWOMGBBQ that would be cool. Hmm, I'll have to look in on how to program a firefox plugin. :( does anyone know off hand what language you have to use or anyhting like that? yes google it i know.... :)

oh, wait,

<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extension......fo.php?id=1766&application=firefox"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1766&application=firefox"><a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1766&application=firefox">https://addons.mozilla.org/ext............d=1766&application=firefox</a></a></a>

Having said that, that doesn't appear to actually do anything. hmm.

Hmm. I installed that and can't tell what it did if anything. Description says it has finishing times for things and I'd be looking for something to tell me how long it will be before I'm able to build my next building so I can just come back later.

Hmm. Oh well.


seems never version is at http://foxgame.mozdev.org

this one work?

OK! just got lvl 12 solar under way. Finally. Jezus.

8 crystal now :(

Gonna use the extra power to upgrade crystal to lvl 10 and then, THEN I will go robo 2 -> shipyard 1 and 2 -> lab 2 and more teching. Don't know how I'm going to afford lvl 13 solar.

Well, I guess you can take a different route and spend your money on research and stuff to build colony ships to colonize... but I think upgrading your mines and then building a good attacking fleet (ie. i have 300+ light fighters, some hundred heavy fighters, bombers, cruisers, etc.) and you can attack people to gain more resources than you can by colonizing... just a preference i guess :)

i wonder if browser based games are gonna rule the world one day...

can't steal code so there's no piracy issues...

should be more difficult to cheat since there's no client app to exploit, though you can still try to exploit the browser but I believe there's not as much potential there as with a client app

can people transfer minerals between users? with cheap trade, this way the high people can get the low people up quicker?

I think you can using cargo ships. But weaker players giving resources to stronger a player is called pushing and is not allowed if I remember correctly.

you can trade things within reasonable ratios

ie. 2.5 metals for 1 deterium, or 1.8 crystal for for 1 deterium

but it is against to the rules to transfer goods without anything in return. ban is bad :)

Joph,

You should check out the Technology link on the menu. It tells you what you need for everything. I think you should start building defense and a fleet after reaching level 10 on Metal, Crystal, and Solar Panels. Light Fighters are good for attacking and I wouldn't spend too much money on Missile Launchers at the beginning as they are not that good in my opinion. I would research the technology for Small Lasers and go with them for defense at the beginning.
Will post this on AT too.
