Can someone explain points again? It said I had 7 of them this morning, does this mean when I woke up I had 5K Metal + 2K cyrstal = 7 points. Since then I have obviously spent them, so will it go down tomorrow?

1 point = 1000 resources spent .

Points always go up.

Unless your defense or your ships are destroyed. Then points go down.

What's with all the different Universes? I signed up under 8 without noticing all of this.

Sheesh you have to sit and wait hours to build things, errr seems boring.

THANKS

I sent a couple to planets around 1:380, somewhere in that area, and they came back with information on planets at 2:53:05 and 2:52:56. Is 2:52:56 even a valid address? I've yet to see a system with that many planet slots. Then two of my cargo ship fleets came back empty for presumably the same reason; my intelligence reported resources and buildings at the address, but then the ships come back empty. WTF. Can't believe I've invested two weeks in this dumb game...

EDIT: Also, anyone notice their solar satellites' energy fluctuating? The total for mine bounces between 116 and 250 energy seemingly at random.

The solar satelites, they show on the resource screen as 50/satelite when in fact it is lower. That is why if you click on calculate, the actual energy output goes down. I don't know why that happens.

What's with all the time needed to build something, I mean is it actually taking this long for the software to do something like this?

Each universe represents a different server. So people in Universe 1 can't interact with people in Universe 2.

It's a way for the game to maintain balance. It's basically a text-based RTS, after all.

All I know is that I'm not making enough energy to be able to get by. I've also noticed that the refresh that indicates when your things come online is... less than immediate.

I've got: M6, C5, D5, S8, R2. I wanted to build a shipyard, but I need to hit S9 because I'm not making enough energy as it is (I'm currently -5). Anybody got any suggestions as to what would be a good idea?

Put your Dueterium 5 onto 90%, that'll free up a chunk of power, and at that level, will make only like 5 difference or something insignificant.

Can someone please explain how fleet slots work? I should probably know but I don't :p...

I increased my computer technology (I think thats the one that increases slots) to 4, which allows a total of 5 fleets. Does 1 cargo = 1 fleet slot or only if I send each out alone?

lets say you got 4 cargos and 2 fighters


you send 1 cargo and 1 fighter to planet x, thats one fleet
you send 2 cargo to planet y, thats one fleet
you send 1 cargo and 1 fither to planet z, thats one fleet
