[nweaver]

an IRC channel for online members would be really good. And maybe a new thread with "anti at oGamers" where we post people who have attacked us.

Resources on Malazgirt [2:220:6] at 02-22 01:28:55
Metal: 31195 Crystal: 20054

Fleets
Chance of counterespionage:0%

No info on defense?

guess my espionage isnt high enough. check it out for me? if yours in high?

Anyone every check this out? I'm right around the corner but I don't have much in the way of espionage.

Well, I'm almost to my first Cargo Ship. I could also either build a light fighter or a second small cargo ship. Which would be best? I plan on just picking an inactive person around me and sending them out. WOuld the light fighter help in case the person has defensive missiles or something or woudl it be better to just send 2 cargo ships? I'm not sure if the cargo ships can attack defensive things or if they'd just sit there and get killed.

Second question is, once I get the ships, how do I use them and tell them where to go to get stuff and see their progress and such?

Thanks.

Be careful with blind raids. I've lost a light fighter and cargo to what I assumed was an undefended, inactive player.

 

[nweaver]

when should I get a robotic factory/shipyard/research center and start building cargo ships?

Currently at M7 k4 d3 S7. I have enough recources to build a robotic factory, but I'm thinking I shoud do S8 first (have to wait a couple hours for crystal).

D3 is building atm, but I assume that it will suck down all my power to keep that all running. The build guide posted earlier said to get to K5/D4 before getting S8, but if I"m out of power, wouldn't it be better to get it before k5? I could build K5 right now, and drop power on Dut (not useing it at all yet, no galaxy browsing) before getting S8.

What do you guys think, and how far am I from ships and raids and such?

Edit: Crystal is currently my low resource that I need, I have 1200 metal, 140 crystal, 350 Deut

 

[LeonarD26]

weaver, if i were you I'd probably concentrate on getting your general infrastructure built up for a few more days before raiding. You're going to need a lot of crystal to do that.... Be sure to send probes before you attack!

i think im growing way fast. up to number 4 in the alliance now. uh oh. watch out turkish! here i come.

nice Joph! Yeah I've been getting worried that I'm going to soon get pounded by the other players in my system which have been strong so far but as soon as I turn white to them i will be easy pickin's !

So I started building up some defensive structures...

Does anyone know what happens during defense to your buildings? I heard you can repair them so does that mean they cannot be destroyed? Does the repair cost alot of resources?

i think they just have a 70% chance of being rebuilt. i dont remember reading it cost anything. i think its better chance with nanite factory

right now i got 10small lasers and 8 light fighters on d.

im about to get heavy lasers.

i got 15 cargos with 4 fleets. so im hitting up about 10 idles planets i found. 4 at a time.

got 3 loads coming back in 1.5hours with like 30k in resources... i cant find a good supply of duet yet. which is holding me back.. ill posts all my stats if anyone wants them


the other thing is i try to keep miminal resource stock on my planet. this way, there is no real reason to invade me unless i pissed someone off.

why attack me just to get lik3 5000 crystals where there are better idle planets to raid.

 

[Kelemvor]

Oh well. Cargos aren't that expensive so I built my first one and sent it off to some planet showing inactive. I guess we'll see what happens in about 2 hours. heh.

I'm impressed that you managed to get up to combustion level 5! How do you get so much deuterium?

im only trying to raid the idle planets in the +-6 solar system range that have large duet stock.


i avoid the 0 duet planets. unless there is nothing else out there.

i got like 5000-5500 duet coming back home in an hour or so.

i think is probed every idle planet. soon they will all be out of duet and ill have to expand. hehehe


i want to get to level 6 so i can get the largo cargo, but that requires 19000+ duet. ug. might be a long time before i get to that.

i hit a road block.

I see. Excellent strategy!

So if you go within 6 solar systems you still have 4 hour trip? I have been hesitant to go beyond 1 solar system because my travel time doubled just going next door so I imagine it just keeps doubling going further...
