This is about where I am at now: M10, C8, D4, S10, Spaceport 2, Robot Facility 2, Research Facility.
I'll look at the tech tree tonight and figure out what I gotta aim for to get those cargo ships.

This inactive guy I've been raiding lately had a lot of resources everytime I'd go, but my 3 spy probes were never able to detemrine his mine levels. I assumed they would be high since he always had alot of minerals and with a bunch of other player sin the system which are white to me I'm sure they were raiding this guy too but it turns out now that I have more spy probes I am able to see his mine levels and they're not higher than mine! Like level 14 metal, 9 deut, 11 crystal... This must mean few people if anyone ever raided him since I kept getting alot fo resources, I find that surprising

doh, 43 min for S8, that hurts


would I be better off starting toward cargo ships now? or getting around K8 M9 D6 S10/11 before starting that route?

 

[LeonarD26]

43 minutes isn't that long, I'd upgrde it if it were me...

I always seem to be hurting for power.

i wish i was that low. my lvl 15solar is almost 4 hours with a level 4 robotics.

i found small cargo fleet will produce a lot more than your mines. im hauling in over 60k a day. my mines in 24 hours would produce like 30-35k

When sending out cargo ships, is there a way to tell it what resource you want it to start with when filling up?

Like if I send 1 SmalL Cargo ship, it can hold 5000 units. If someone has say 10k of each thing, I'd like it to just get me 5k of all Duet. Or maybe 3k Duet and 2k Crystal. Can I specify this at all?

 

[nweaver]

I am upgrading, as I'm a bit low (had to set D to 80%). Guess I'll K7, M8, D5, and S9 or 10 before I start my robotic factory. This game is teaching me patience

no. it just takes. u can only take 50% of their resources too.

 

[LeonarD26]

JoPh, how do you send out your fleets?? What I mean is, do you send 2 light cargo's with fighters, 4 light cargo by themselves?

once i establish the planet is safe i send them alone..

depending on how muich resoucres the planet has is what i sent.

10k 1cargo

50k 5cargo

ect... since u can only take half. it doesnt pay off to send that extra one when i can go somehwere else.

I thought I read somewhere that sending more than 1 probe would increase your espionage data. But everytime I click "Spy" it automatically sends just 1 probe. Can I increase that number?

Hmm not sure, never spied on anyone using that method. I'd go into the fleet page and then choose how many spy probes I wanna send then set the coordinates by hand.

I save my galaxy views so that I don't have to waste deuterium when I need ot just look up coordinates

goto your options. the defualt for the galaxy page is 1. in there you can change it to what ever you want.

I hope 2:143:9 NEWCANCER1 (i I) which has been idle for 28days + if I have the symbols right is undefended :evil:

EDIT: First blind attack sent
Guess I'll find out what happened in the morning.

Woohoo
One of your fleets (Small Cargo Ship:1 ) returns from 2:143:9 to jello [2:143:12] . The fleet delivers 1982 metal, 1982 crystal and 1032 deuterium

 

[lozina]

Man I'm starting to dry up my wells near me and I've been scanning other systems looking for other cash cow inactive players and there's not much around. Think I'm gonna have to start thinking about doing some raids on active players no! Don't have a single fighter plane yet though

 

[Malladine]

Yeah, same here. I'm currently scanning up to 12 systems away. I have ships headed to a planet 12 away right now actually. 2.3hrs one way.

 

[nweaver]

how hard is it to transfer resources from alliance member to another alliance member? I was thinking that maybe I could hover just under 2K (noob limit, iirc) and keep transfering resources to the startups in the alliance (get from start to cargo ships in 1-2 days). Think this is viable?

I think that would be "pushing" which is against the rules.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

On the other hand, scanning for other people looks like that's alright.

On that note, would someone be so kind as to probe 2:142:6 or 2:143:5 for me?

 

[LeonarD26]

Resources on Wasteland [2:142:6] at 02-22 21:40:15
Metal: 1249 Crystal: 236
Deuterium: 1 Energy: 22
Fleets
Defence
Buildings
Metal Mine 1 Solar Plant 1
Research
Chance of counterespionage:0%

 

[LeonarD26]

Resources on Planet HK [2:143:5] at 02-22 21:43:49
Metal: 7942 Crystal: 3835
Deuterium: 152 Energy: 0
Chance of counterespionage:0%

 

[Malladine]

I can add that Planet HK has no fleet protecting it. No info on defenses, if any.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Thanks guys. What does (*) mean again?

As in Planet HK (*)

 

[LeonarD26]

Good question... I'm not really sure....

Another question.... My first probe had a lot more information than the second one... I wonder why that is...

 

[Malladine]

different planet LeonarD. How much info you get depends on your tech lvl vs theirs + the number of probes you send at once.
