I'll see if I can change my settings.

Thanks

EDIT:
Wonder how long it takes for them to send an email. I turned off my filtering and requested password again.

After reading how my filter works it would have put any spam in my bulk mail box so I haven't got any mail from them for some reason. Anyone else having this problem? Could someone maybe test the forgot password link to see if it works?

Thanks

I have:

Metal (L18)
Crystal (L19)
Deterium (L15)
Solar Plant (L20)

Those 4 are the most important in the game, without them, nothing's possible.

Here's the recommended build order:

M is for Metal, K is for Crystal, D is for Deterium and S is for Solar Plant:

S1 M1 M2 S2 M3 M4 S3 K1 K2 S4 M5 D1 S5 M6 K3 S6 D2 D3 S7 K5 D4 S8 D5

So when do we build a shipyard/start actually looking at stuff? I only just realized that it takes Deterium to even view the galaxy. I'm currently finished D1, following that list.

Opera: 10 D per view, as many times as I want to see it. (Browser cache FTW).

I've got a little over 800 D right now with no other way to use it. May as well see who's around me :p

You could also create a second copy of the session (Ctrl +N in IE, "Duplicate" in Opera, I'm sure FF has some way of doing it too, but don't know off the top of my head)

How you doing neighbor? :)

I'm just getting my first small cargo, so I'm gonna be paying our (i) neighbors a visit pretty soon. ;)

mweaver, when you do a search for the user, the coordinates show up next to their name. Or you can go to the Alliance -> members list and view all of our coordinates, who's online, etc.

I avoid guild members, and they avoid me. There are too many idle targets to hit without starting a guildwar. Since I'm in 2:54, I look for targets from 2:30 to 2:70. I have hit a slight majority of all idle targets in those areas. Travel times are about 4 hours round trip.
I follow-up when the pickings are good. I could use another 8 ships, but I want my first colony this week.

Hmm my travel time to a system next to mine is 4 hour round trip. Would the next system after that also be 4 hours? I am clueless how the systems are connected... like I'm in 1:131, so to get to 1:129 do I go through 1:130 first or straight to 1:29 hence a 4 hour trip ??

u can see travel time by going into shipyard and sending a fleet. just play with the coordinate and it changes the time for you. all my fleets are busy so i cant check. ill check in like 10minutes when i have one available. let me know if u do it first.

Oh man I'm sending 7 cargo ships on a 28-day idle guy with:

Metal: 34670 Crystal: 16979 Deuterium: 2786

Hoping no one else gets to this treasure first!
