At these space coordinates now float 900 Metal and 300 Crystal.
1 Small Laser, 2 Missile Launcher could be repaired.

meh

He actually had 7 cargo ships 10 LF and 1 HF...man I can almost beat that! I have 2 missile 1 small laser left. I guess i'll build up small lasers for a while...

turned out bad for him. you were fine. u lost 4000 only got 500. sucks. GJ! and u got your d back too.

good job.

What's the best thing to do if I don't want to worry about attacking and such and just want to let my mines run and have something for Defense.

What order do I need things in and what shuld I get for defense? Not that I'll be all powerful but more just for fun to at least give attackers some sort of challenge?

just use up all your resources and send your ships away. make it a worthless trip.

I don't have any ships. I just want to build the defensive missiles or whatever. Nothing offensive at all.

just started this morning, following the guide, at M4 (about to do 5) K2, S3 (going to cap crystals while I build my S4, keep my mine running). Kinda fun, but takes sooo long (guess that can be good while you are not playing alot)

does the same apply to robo factory 4? I'm wondering if I should sit back and build infrastructure. I'd need lots of small laser defense to defeat even that same force (7 cargo, 10LF, 1HF) and i'm sure he'll have more next time. So basically i'll want lots of production power, stockpile enough resources to make enough defenses and then quickly build them all one after the other. Small Laser Defense are the cheapest weapon power/cost ratio I have, including ships.

I believe each upgrade to the shipyard slightly lowers ship production time, but not always in half. Similar with robo factories with buildings...

Malladine, I think your idea is a solid one. Get a strong infrastructure with a good defense, but also try to build a modest fleet if possible.

What are your coordinates?

If you get attacked, is there a screen where you can see how the battle went and what you lost and things like that?

A strong infrastructure will also help if things go wrong. You can rebuild quickly. I think that is our basic strategy with upgraded mines, buildings and tech. We take what we get and improve it. The fleet of ships can come later.

Infrastructure is going up really slowly now though.

I'm at L13 metal, L12 crystal, L9 deut, L13 SP, L4 fusion. Certainly cant upgrade them as often as I used to!

BTW: if someone has just one light fighter sitting at their planet and you send 5 spy drones to him... since the fighter has a rapid fire of 5 vs. spy drones does that mean it is likely that the fighter will destroy all 5 of your drones and you wont get any report?

Is the limit for attacking any one person hard or soft? I mean, I just attacked a guy I attacked earlier today...I won't be banned will I?

How about rules against attacking a defenseless inactive? Are there rules against that?

Read this. :)

As far as episonage probes go, it does not get destroyed by any defense/ships on the planet. However, if they have a high episonage technology, they might be able to counter episonage and destroy your probes.

So is it as simple as:

I send my probes to player A. Player A espionage is greater than mine, so his ships detect my probes and blows them up.

My email is excite and it usually lets everything through or puts it in bulk mail.

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.

so why can't I click on the "Galaxy" link? I finally built my D1, and have 1 (yeah, I was waiting) unit, but it still tells me "You do not have enough deuterium!"

how much do I need, and does it eat it up to look at the galaxy? Just wanted to take a small peek.

Whenever you send out an episonage probe, in the episonage report, it says counter episonage % or something like that. That's the chance that the opponent has of destroying the episonage probes.

yeah be very careful with galaxy view you can easily gobble up alot more than you intended by following links there and hitting back- each view costs deuterium even when doing a back!

I think it costs something like 15 deuterium ?
