thanks for the info, I can start to get scared now, alot of reds in my system :p

yup, only one none red in my system, and 3 blues, but he is in v mode

don't be... they cannot attack you. and even when you increase your points, they probably will as well so there always be a gap between you and them unless they are stupid. just look at other galaxies and you'll find people to attack :p

should i look at other galaxies, or other solar systems?

How do I spy? I have 1 "whitey" in my solar system, 1 greenie also...which means he must have 0, 1 or 2 pts :)

There's a blue guy who has a weird lookin b - is that banned or is there a normal b for banned?

1 red (v) guy too

Anyway, I'd like to begin espionage on the whitey to prepare my invasion accordingly...

And how do I harvest debris fields on other solar systems of my galaxy?

from what i understand, you would be better off to spy on Greenie.

the b dude has been banned
and the red V dude is on vacation.

you also need to build ships to spy.

im rsrching Enrg Level 2 now. (fvck 45 minutes)

So robo factories speed regular builds up like mines, other buildings, defenses and ships? What speeds research up? New lvls of research building?

Spy on greenie? But I can't attack...

read that wrong.

i dont know what speeds research up.

I didn't read it wrong, I saw the 45 mins part and it raised that question for me as i'm having the same "problem" now. 1hr 10mins for a lvl 9 solar plant :(

no, i read the green/white/red thing wrong.

it only takes me 48 min for a lvl 10 Solar plant.

Man I'm addicted :)

Here's where I'm at now...

M9, C6, D3, S9, Robo2, RLab1, and a shipyard.

I plan on upgrading my Crystal and Deut when I have enough metal...

Must.....increase.....my......metal.....mine....... hehe

It's so depressing when you realise it's time for a solar power upgrade, it's like, daaamn, all thos eresources I'm gonna need, it's gonna take x hours to get there....lol.

i'm on 10 6 3 9 atm, running that pathetic deut at 70% as I neeeed mo' power, but I just couldn't resist that metal upgrade. heh, can't wait to attack. although, may build up defences first, oh the decisions.hehe.


also,

Solar Plant (Level 9 )
Requires: Metal:2.883 Crystal:1.153
Production time: 32m 17s


Seems quick? That'd mean it'd take 32m 17s to build a lv 10 solar plant? Awesome, that's what i'll be doing when i have dinner then.

Ok I'm in! sent application to AT alliance.

Built a deuterium synthesizer first thing not known what is best to build but now I'm gonna follow that build order

ignore deuterium for a long time!!

EDIT: Just wanted to get that in in the hope you could save the build. Focus on Metal. Power. Crystal doesn't need to be upgraded as quickly as metal, most building at the start take at least tweice as much metal as crystal, up to about 5 times as much. Metal is key at the start. Crystal will probably build up whilst you're waiting for the metal. Power is a bitch too.

yeah the first thing i tried to do was go into research to see what i can do there but then it said i needed a lab. so i looked at the lab and it required deuterium so thats the only reson I went for that right away. guess i should not worry about research for a while huh ?

If you click on the resources option on the left, that'll bring up a table. The numbers represent how many are added per hour. So it may take 2minutes for 1 at the moment, but eventually it'll be like 2 a second lol. It'll update when you change page or load the same page again. Don't click refresh, or back or anything, it's all within that one page effectively.

Computer Technology
The higher the level of computer technology the more slots you have for your fleet. Every additional level of this technology increases the number of slots by 1.
Requires: Metal:0 Crystal:400 Deuterium:600 Energy:0
Production time: 12m 00s
research
Energy Technology
By understanding the technology of different kinds of energy, many new and advanced technologies can be adopted. Energy Technology is of great importance to a modern research lab.
Requires: Metal:0 Crystal:800 Deuterium:400 Energy:0
Production time: 24m 00s


They're the first research options you'll get. Both need lots of deuterium. The deuterium plant requires loads of power too, so chasing it early on will make life hard as hell, and even slower than the normally slow start. stick with it though, and look forward to when you get up tomorrow, log on and find thousands of resources! :)

Iozina - no research for a while, right. I'm on lvls 8-10 of most things now and don't have a lab yet. Only lvl 1 robo factory. Until you hit say lvl 8 or 9 solar it seems like it's best to leave the lab/factory alone.

I'm just starting to get my deuterium facilities upgraded. Lvl 4 currently. I need deuterium for lvl2 robo factory and then stockpiles for ships and labs/research (i'm guessing research takes it too).

what increases your production efficiency? that number you see on top of the resoruces table which starts at 0.5

Yeah, just build metal, crystal, solar, metal, metal, solar, metal, crystal, solar to have a large stockpile when you get up in the morning :D

I have a lvl2 Rob factory, and mines only at 1. I'm sure it was at 1 from the beginning though. It could be luck of the draw. A lot of things are, it's quite a bit more indepth than i expected. Like, the last number in your planet reference, indicates your position from the sun, which affects solar power production, but on the plus side, if you're far away, u get higher deuterium production.

Yeah I tried that Galaxy menu but it says error not enough deuterium... thats kinda another reason I built a deuterium thing so early. How much deuterium to see the galaxy view is req?

letdown, where are you in the system? I'm at position 10 and get 73/hr deuterium production at lvl 4 synthesizer.

Iozina, you cannot access the galaxy/solar system list until you have deuterium. Browsing outside your planet takes 10 deuterium per view.

You're a noob and therefore have protection from anyone 5 times your points (currently at 0 or 1 - check overview). When you have enough deuterium, check your solar system. Any white names can attack you and vice versa. Green names are noob protected from you and grey are inactive and can be raided, anyone else is invulnerable, more or less. (s) after the name indicates you have no chance.

More details elsewhere in this thread.
