Yes, you should get a combat report message stating the battle. If you train Espionage Technology, it is said to tell you that you are under attack before it happens, and with a higher level it will tell you size of attacker and how many of each ship.

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! :D


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 :)

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

where is this simulator?

Hit the Ogame forum button. You should see a link for SpeedSim

you can use Speedism to simulate outcomes of battles. Google "ogame+speedism"

I'm raping this n00b in my galaxy, have stolen 10,000 metal and 10,000 crystal, have now got two cargo ships running backwards and forwards to his planet! :D he has no deuterium though, so at the moment, even if he wanted to look who it could be, he couldn't even use galaxy view. and as he has none, you have to assume he has no deuterium synthesiser yet, but he has loads of metal/crystal :S....

be careful about "bashing" though, I hear if you attack same guy over and over you can get banned. I think the norm is to alow 3 attacks per person per day

Since practically every ship has rapid fire vs. espionage probes, does that mean if I station just one fighter on my planet I will always know when someone is trying to spy on me, since my fighter will try to shoot them down?

i think you're only allowed five per day, not sure where i read that though, turkish might have said it. ok, i'll give him a break for a day. lol. poor guy. spose it's ok as it'll give his mines a chance to build back up again. I suppose that's the advantage to using bigger/more cargo ships, you can take more per heist, and so not exceed your 'bashing' limit. lol.

It is 3 waves per each planet or colony.

If bashing is a ban-able offense, I don't understand why it isn't hard coded into the game. Seems like that'd be trivial.

this guy i was raping wasn't even idle. He just didn't bother building any defences, and he has no deuterium. But seems to have plenty of metal and crystal. which seems a bit odd.

i know you can spy on planets. but does it tell you how much resources they have? evenuallty i want to go outside my region to raid others, but i want to make sure they have stuff so i dont waste my time...

but i dont know what spying tells you

It depends on how many spy probes you send to the mission and what the espionage level is of the person you spying against.

This thread has a section that explains how it works in detail

If you're bringing in full cargos every time then you'l be going up real quick in pts. I'm barely filling half of a single cargo ship now on my runs against 2 idle players in my system :(

last haul was 1625 metal, 569 crystal and 167 deut

need to find a better target...

I'm surprised with so many of us we're not hearing of one of us being farmed by a slightly stronger player... I know I'm worried about this- there's 3 guys in my system who are not ranked so that means they have < 2600 pts. I'm at 85 now and I'm thinking i'll be around 100 tomorrow so that means they can attack me if they < 500 pts. Either way I'll be running into them soon and so far am completely defenseless
