Hey fellas, I'll be flying Istanbul - Washington D.C. today (Sunday), I'll see if there's free wireless at JFK, but if not, I'll respond to messages and stuff on Sunday evening

Wish me a good flight

Hey if someone does an espionage mission against you, do you get a message warning you or is it a complete secret?

you have no clue

i just attacked a dude, no loss nothing, but didnt get any deuterium like i wanted. the dude had NONE.

i destroyed him too.

 

[psihog]

Hey mikemike, how do you pick your targets? I assume you don't have probes yet?
Was it a 1 ML opponent

I'm looking for my first fight sometime today or tomorrow..

You just look for inactive players (people with i or I next to their name). Then you just hope they don't have a defense.

yeah im gonna try to do this. a few more minutes and i can research combustion engine level 2. then i can work on a cargo ship!

I have two people in my system who are inactive > 28 days. I'm sure they are being targetting by everyone else in my system so have no defenses... I hope!

update: nice! cargo ship met no resistance and filled its hold up with 1979 metal, 1979 crystal and 1040 deuterium (can't fit any more stuff). so i made a second cargo ship and plan on "harvesting" this guy again later on with twice the cargo capacity

I'm trying to spy on someone with the one small fighter I have but it still says no ships awailable, how do I do this?

 

[Kelemvor]

Well, just got back in town from being "Up North" all weekend. At least now I have enough metal and such to build stuff. I'm going through Turkish's recommendations for the starting order and am up to Solar lvl 6 so far.

I think all you can really do is send that fighter to attack (you can go into galaxy view then when you click a planet there's the attack option) and then determine if that person has any defense or not if anything fires at you

thats not very "spy" like now is it

 

[erikistired]

i'm at:

metal mine - 10
crystal mine - 10
deuterium synth - 3
solar plant - 12
robotic factory - 1 (dunno why i did this)
research lab - 2 (dunno why i did this)

what next? any suggestions? keep building up my mines?

Build up deuterium and robotics. Robotics decreases time and cost greatly.

You need a episonage probe. They are the only ships that can spy

woah yeah, reduces costs of what?

 

[JoPh]

im begining to realize the time commitment to game is a little excessive. i was ready about uni2 or something. some people are planning an attack 5 months in advance. wtf. a little hardcore. people take this game very serious.

i wonder if ill even be interested in 5 months. lol. got nothing better to do now. so im still playing. games should have endings or something. lol

It does not reduce cost.

looks at these build times! omg.
id be so bored if i had to do this

Longest building (not counting jumpgates)
Crystal Mine (Level 27 )
Crystals are the main resource used to build electronic circuits and form certain alloy compounds.
Requires: Metal:15.576.890 Crystal:7.788.445
Production time: 17 days 16h 49m 27s

Longest research
Armour Technology (Level 15 )
Highly sophisticated alloys are helping to increase the armoury of a ship by adding 10% of strength per level to the base strength.
Requires: Metal:32.768.000 Crystal:0 Deuterium:0 Energy:0
Production time: 27 days 20h 44m 04s

 

[flashbacck]

Robotics doesn't make things cheaper unfortunately

Energy Tech. does not increase your solar plant outputs, either.

 

[JoPh]

why did we start in uni13 when its 1 month old. when uni14 or 15 just started in feb.... wouldnt it be easier instead of playing catch up? a month advance would make all the difference. huge advantage for all those players.

oh well. uni13 it is! onward!

what kind of enery would solar sats product at 2:224:10 ?

At 10... I'm gona guess about 20/satelite

Building a nanite factory reduces the building time by half
