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.

Same here, so I decided to build up impulse engine 3 and now I am in save mode, so I can kick out a colony ship in a few days.

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...


yeah everyone out side your solar system but in your galaxy seems to be a 4 hour trip.

if you want to see trip time just click on the fleet and send your fleet out.

and in the coord location just play with the coordinates, it will tell you the time. this way you dont waste duet in the galaxy screen either.


im in 2:224 and i goto 2:229 4 hour round trip. and 2:223 is a 4 hour round trip too.



Staver, what advantage does another colony have?
do they have to start all over with research and shipyard tech?

From what I understand you have to build its own shipyard and research lab there but a research lab wont help anything until you get that intergalactic research tech discovered.

You would start building up mines on the colony like our home planet as it produces resources either use them there or ship them to your home planet.

sounds like a hassle!

The benefit is another planet of mines and resources. The technology carries over to all of your 8 colonies. If you build the research lab the techs you researched will be filled in based on the lab level which means the ships and defenses you were able to build on the homeworld you get a huge headstart building them on a colony. It's also a safehaven to fleetsave back and forth to.
 
alright i started my movemnet towards colony ship. ill give it a try. where do u want to build them? new galaxy? or solar system?

how much is impulse 2 3?

8K M 16K C 2.4K D

then 10K M 20K C 10K D for the ship
 
Woo Hoo. First Blind Raid.

The attacker has won the battle!
He captures
2093 Metal, 2093 Crystal and 812 Deuterium


The attacker has lost a total of 0 Units.
The defender has lost a total of 0 Units.
At these space coordinates now float 0 Metal and 0 Crystal.

Impulse 2 costs 4k metal and 8k crystal... that's what i'm building up for.

I need a colony!

Impluse Level 1 costs 2k metal, 4k crystal, 600 Deuterium
Impluse Level 2 costs 4k metal, 8k crystal, 1200 Deuterium
Impluse Level 3 costs 8k metal, 16k crystal, 2400 Deuterium

A colony ship itself costs 10k Metal, 20k Crystal, and 10k Deuterium.

Then finally to send a colony ship somewhere costs 1k Deuterium

Grand total:

24k Metal, 48k Crystal, 15,200 Deuterium

Not too shabby for a colony
 
where do u find the build costs like that? i cant find that information. would be nice to have
 
Also a really good research target is large cargo ships, especially if you are doing alot of raiding.

To get to them is expensive, especially on Deuterium...

Need shipyard level 4 and combustion Level 6 so:

Combustion Research Costs per level:
1 = 400 Metal, 600 Deut.
2 = 800 M, 1200 D
3 = 1600 M, 2400 D
4 = 3200 M, 4800 D
5 = 6400 M, 9600 D
6 = 12800 M, 19200 D

One large cargo ship though only costs only 6,000 metal and 6,000 crystal

That's 3 times the cost of one small cargo BUT it can carry 5 times the cargo (25,000 instead of 5,000)

It also travels 50% faster at 7500 instead of 5000

It's a great investment but that much deuterium is tough to come by. Joph has a good strat for this though!

yeah. im stuck at c.engine lvel 5. only got 7k duet saved up. going to take me a long time to get to 19200..

grrr.. im trying to get there. not going easily.

all the planets around me are low on duet. i got 37k crystals for trade 🙂
 
How many days on average does it take to go from scratch to building your first Cargo Ship?

I am still working on trying to get to Small Lasers. Maybe today or tommorow.
 
Once you have :
Shipyard(level 3)
Combustion Engine(level 3)
Espionage Technology(level 2)

you can build espionage probes from your shipyard

Spacelord: 3-4 days imo

i started on 17th got mine first ones on the 19th or 20th.

BTW, i'm at espionage lvl 3 and currently operating 3 probes. Let me know if you need information.

Are probes limited by distance and such? My next target is hopefully goint to be at 2:212:7 but won't be for about 2 hours
 
Wow!! I've been on it since the 17th or 18th.. and still not there. Maybe I missed the fast track. I've been spending resources on infrastructure which I figured I would need to sustain building cargo ship(s).

probes out side your solar system but in your galaxy take 2 min round trip.

cargo ships are the fast track. i got my first cargo and by the end of day i had 8. and ive exploded since then
