M12, C9, D6 and I can't mine crystal fast enough for my research.. should keep metal and crystal at same level. at least at n00b rank, maybe it'll be different at higher level:)

The only difference is it's now going to be a 4 hour round trip instead of 2. But since I'm not getting much from the guys in my system it might just be worth it...

Right now I have L12 metal, L11 crystal, L7 deuterium (being upgraded), L12 solar power, L4 fusion power, L2 robotic, L2 shipyard and L3 research lab

i have researched espionage 1, computer 1, energy 3, armour 3, combustion 2 and laser 3

so far so good i think



when going out side your galaxy to raid is it closer to change your galaxy or solar system? whats is the difference? im trying to figure it out now

When you attack someone, i assume they get a combat report as well? So if i attack someone, do they have the corrdinates of my planet after that? Would be nice to know.

Trying to get toekramp to join Ogame too... the dude resists... he is scared of getting addicted, which is understandable. Him and I used to play Counter-Strike till 6am in the morning. This is only the 2nd game I got addicted to. I wish it wasn't so time-consuming.

:)

Built 20 Cruisers today :)

Just sent my first raid off...

3 light fighters and 1 small cargo transport. The target has 1 light fighter and apparently no defenses.

Strange though, why did receive info on all his buildings? I sent my probes to 2 other planets in my system and received only information on the resources and % chance of counter espionage.

look here, and look at last page of the thread, it seems to have some updates.
summery:
# 1 Probe at the same level of espionage = Ressources are shown ( actually ressources are always shown )
# 2 Probes at the same level of espionage( or 2 probes added to the number of probes needed to fix the difference of espionage or 1 level higher espionage than your enemy has) = fleet is shown too
# 3 Probes at the same level of espionage( or 3 probes added to the number of probes needed to fix the difference of espionage or 2 level higher espionage than your enemy has) = defense is shown too
# 5 Probes at the same level of espionage( or 5 probes added to the number of probes needed to fix the difference of espionage or 2 level higher espionage than your enemy has) = buildings are shown too
# 7 Probes at the same level of espionage( or 7 probes added to the number of probes needed to fix the difference of espionage or 3 level higherespionage than your enemy has) = technologies are shown too

The attacker has won the battle!
He captures
1767 Metal, 1767 Crystal and 1614 Deuterium


The attacker has lost a total of 0 Units.
The defender has lost a total of 18000 Units.
At these space coordinates now float 900 Metal and 4500 Crystal.

YAY! :D

Man he must be mad...I destroyed all 7 of his solar satellites and his only light fighter. Gotta send the cargo ship back to collect that crystal. I can do that right?

No, I think that gets deposited into a debris field which can only be harvested by Recycler ships

I built one small cargo and ran two raids against an inactive player in my system. From the first one I scored:

2000 metal
2000 crystal
998 deuterium

A few hours later I sent the cargo ship back to scoop up the rest and was turned away because it was then protected by n00b status :(. It seems that the player came back just after I attacked :(
