I also went into an other solar system and attacked a player with only my trusty cargo ship. It turned out that they had no fleet but, did have shields. The cargo ship was able to penetrate the shields with only two volleys. The prize was:
1051 Metal
198 Crystal
0 Deuterium

Not bad for a day's work. :)

wait

a cargo ship penetrated a shield dome?

I'm hungry for more raiding now! :evil: Another guy in my system has no defenses and tons of resources. *yum*

It's too bad we aren't all close together

closest to me is:

Icepick 8 systems away in one direction, DaTT is 9 in the other.

If I ever needed backup it would take a looong time for help to arrive!

Yeah, we'll need to develop hyperspace and jump gates for more rapid deployment of military forces. I think that the best you could hope for from the alliance members is to counter attack the person who raided you. The alliance doesn't give much defense other than a deterrent since it's likely that anyone who messes with us will be counter attacked/raided by 63 alliance members. :evil:

Garkon is 1 system away from me, we gotta help each other out man :)

omg. The "defenseless" guy in my system has 191 missile launchers. The other guy with 1 heavy fighter also has a shield dome, 9 ion cannons and 35 missile launchers. omg.

OMG I have a little bit more energy than him which I'm using more than 100% but I have no where near as much resources as he does. He must just collect stuff overnight and instead of improving his mines just spend it all on defense or ships next day and obviously hoard a bunch of it.

weird

Yeah, he's not doing very much construction or technology research. He's simply biding his time and pouring all of his resources into his fleet. I think he's still listed as a n00b since he doesn't have many improvements. Interesting strategy. As long as he remains in n00b status he could really dominate with that fleet. :shocked:

White is regular, attackable by me at least and vice versa :(. You're talking about Gwydiantis right?

I'm concerned; Coprenicus [1:171:6] has 191 missile launchers and a single heavy fighter. He just sent his espionage fleet at me...

Am I correct in thinking that any time I spy on a planet the owner is warned? That sorta defeats the point. Or maybe I was warned because I have lvl 2 esp. tech and a few probes of my own? Could it be they don't know about my "activities"?

Yeah I'm really going to have to start building up a defense. all I have is 3 cargo ships and a spy probe! no war ships or defense structures, and my score is going up faster than I would like it to.

The more probes you send at once the higher the chance you'r probes will get detected, and espionage technology level make a diffrents too (if you'r espionage is at a higher level than you'r "victim" the chance you'r spying activity will be undetected will be higher and viceversa). hope that helped.

So no one is working on a web site for us? I'm thinking of doing something- is there free forum software out there ?

anandtechalliance.com is available ;)

I need to get my espionage up. I cannot seem to stick to any one tech. tree. I just keep bouncing back and forth as my mood changes from offense to defence to research.

Turkish, what would it take to successfully raid a planet defended by 191 missile launchers, in your esteemed estimation? He has 37k deuterium and 27k crystal waiting to be taken.

Grats on the victory :beer:

Ok, so Coprenicus [1:171:6] is attacking me. In 1 hr and 5 minutes his fleet of 18 ships (wtf?! I only saw 1 heavy fighter a couple of hours ago...) arrives. I have 3 missile launches, 3 light fighters and 2 small lasers. I'm done for right? I only have 1k M 1k C and 4k D but still...

Should I fleetsave my 3 lights?

Requesting retaliatory aid from the alliance!

Or you are looking at one of his colonies, he may be fleetsaving back and forth to. This is activity I watch happening constantly in my system. Two noobs (me included), one white who has a colony and the colonies of 4 high rank players. I think I could shoot up to 4999 and they would still be red to me.

if you fleetsave your ships and carry as many resources as you can it should be no big loss. send them on an attack to an inactive player that you know has no defense and make sure they return AFTER those attackers arrive!

Check the Ogame forums Q&A area. It will show you what to do. He won't get anything at all from you.
