Solar Satellite

This is another source of Energy for your Planet. This Ship cannot move from the Planet it was Built on.
The Requirements for this Ship are Shipyard Level 1.
The formula for the Energy production of this Ship is ("Max. Temp"/4+20).

all formulas here:

you have no clue

you get to see that they were sighted near your planet.

being closer to the sun gives you more power from solar satelites.. but what are the benefits from being far away from the sun?

Lower temps = better deuterium production.

There may be others...

Also, w00t for blind raids! 2500 metal, 2500 crystal, in about an hour and a half. no deuterium though. Guess that's because he didn't have any?

 

[iamwiz82]

Should I start building light fighters, or continue to plug away at the bigger fish? There are two planets in my system with lots of debris that I'd love to get, but recyclers seem a long way off for me.

 

[letdown427]

When you say bigger fish? As in, keep building up to getting a heavy fighter or..?

Well, I guess I am asking in which way should I focus my technological and building upgrades. A heavy fighter requires different tree than a recycler and a heavy laser requires a different tree than both.

 

[letdown427]

Lots of small lasers are apparently a good little defence, and they have a relatively simple tree. Build a light cargo ship or two, and try blind raiding, it's worked for a few of us here. Just send them to attack another n00b, and hope he/she has no defences yet! I'm building small lasers when I have spare resources (say when waiting for deut to build up for another build) so that I'm hopefully not too susceptible to raids!

Score another raid from my poor defenceless n00b! 2500 metal, 2500 crystal! hmm, shall i build more transport ships? Guess as I only have 3 more raids on this guy today, probably worth it. Although he might run out of resources. And get a bit annoyed when he signs back on and start building defences! Hehe, he's gonna be a bit miffed when his resource haul is down about 5000 on metal and crystal! lofl

 

[Kelemvor]

On the Galaxy screen, does the "Strong" rating mean strong compared to me or strong in general? When I view my galaxy screen I see 9 people. 6 Strong, 1 Week, 1 inactive, and me. heh.

 

[letdown427]

I think it might mean stronger and weaker. As in my galaxy, the (s) people are all in red, so I'm n00b protected from them, and the one guy with (w) is green, and n00b protected from me. The other guy, who I keep raiding with my light cargo ship thing, is in white, and has no ( ) ratings. I presume he isn't online though, as he hasn't built any defences, and has no deuterium at all, so I'm just going to milk him for metal/crystal and leave him with nothing.

 

[iamwiz82]

Under resources, the numbers listed for metal, crystal, and Deuterium, what do they refer to? units per hour? I'm trying to calculate if it would be better to wait for 1,200 crystal to stock up, or to use 400 crystal to build a next level crystal mine.

What is the average increase per level of a crystal mine?

I've been trying to use the tutorial, but the English translation is somewhat lacking

 

[letdown427]

Yeah, they're per hour. Also, in the Buildings menu, click on the name of the building, to get full details of power usage and output.

 

[Staver]

Yes, it is items/hour. If you want to know what upgrades do: Go to Buildings and click on the structure text, and it will tell you what you will get if you upgrade in most cases.

since some people in the game havent checked their message it seems. or dont reply. im going to post the progression of the banner i have been working on. ill continue to provided the most updated version and information via ogame messaging. since i really dont spend time here. i find it easier in ogame. this thread is long and crowed. we need a seperate forum. with individualized topics. this is long and messy. so here is the progression.

http://www.78west.com/joph/aoa.jpg
http://www.78west.com/joph/aoa2.jpg
http://www.78west.com/joph/aoa3.jpg
http://www.78west.com/joph/aoa31.jpg
http://www.78west.com/joph/aoa4.jpg

aoa31 and aoa4 are the most current version depending on what you want to call the alliance. seems some members want anandtech alliance others want alliance of anandtech. so i made two. there is no clear favorite from the feedback i have heard. but i figured id share them here now.

 

[Czar]

I like this one the best http://www.78west.com/joph/aoa.jpg , just remove the of, and change the letters to Anandtech Alliance

 

[lozina]

Yeah blind raids FTW!

I had two good hauls from inactive players in my system so I built two more cargo ships but unfortunately my first raid with all 3 of them I must have put them on "transport" mission because they reached the target system and dropped off 0 meta, 0 crystal and 0 deut. Oops. I think I got it right this morning though, soon I'll see what they bring back!

And so far I like banner 3.1 best!

 

[letdown427]

You should have a message detailing the battle report, that'll say whether you destroyed the other guy, and what they're bringing back. I'm running my cargo ship on a constant loop to this poor guys planet, as I don't know how many more resources he's got, and another light cargo ship might be a waste of time atm. Only one other n00b in my galaxy, soon as he isn't n00b protected, I'm raiding his little socks off. Just hope he doesn't have any defences!


What kinda numbers are we talking as a good defence against small scale raids? I have a pathetic 7 small lasers and 1 missile launcher (built by accident ) Would that be enough to say beat back a small cargo ship trying to raid me? hope so

 

[JoPh]

sent my first blind raid. now i have to wait 2 hours. lets see what happens. lol

 

[JoPh]

ug. my solar system has 10 players including me. 5 of them are ranked top 300 one is top 100

plus 3 of them are in the same alliance RMIT they are the number 9 alliance. joy.

 

[JoPh]

whats does a "*" mean next to a planets name

1 small laser should easily fend off a few small cargo ships according to this battle simulator I'm using

Looks like 1 small laser can handle 7 small cargo ships. as soon as I up it to 8 though the attacker would win. but certain techs like weapon tech may alter the result

as for light fighters it looks like you need 1 small laser per light fighter attacking you

 

[letdown427]

Ah ok cool, thanks. Should be nicely protected from any fellow n00bs blind raiding me. We can raid across galaxies can't we? I should start looking for nearby n00bs to raid!

 

[bondboy]

Is there any way to know you've been attacked when you wake up in the morning?

Yeah I was thinking about this too... these inactive players in my system aren't netting me much income. I sent 3 cargo ships at one and I only got like 2700 metal, 1000 crystal and 500 deut. Only filled one of my ships. Guess these players are being raped by everyone else!
